## History

Born in Brightwater Keep, Aurelia
Flowers is the product of an illicit love affair between an unknown Florent
noble and an armorer's daughter, Talla. When Talla's belly began to swell with
pregnancy, the Florent noble was never seen again. House Florent recognized her noble birth and periodic gifts of coin,
cloth, and toys, bearing their seal were sent to the Armorer's
shop where Aurelia resided with her mother and grandfather. The night of
Aurelia's fourth nameday, a catastrophic fire blazed through their shop. Talla
managed to hand Aurelia over to a neighbor, but when she went back in to save
her father, the structure collapsed, crushing them both. The suspicious fire
that clearly showed showed evidence of arson is quickly ruled an accident by
the City Guard.

Upon hearing the news of his
family's demise, Talla's brother Domeric rushed to Brightwater Keep and claimed
his niece, whisking her back to his dress shop in Highgarden. There, in that
Highgarden shop, Aurelia learned to **craft** beautiful gowns to meet the
demands of Highgarden fashion. In addition to typical business ledger and
record keeping, Aurelia also learned the **secret shorthand code**, needed
to expediently record the numerous and ornate requests and alterations from the
patrons of the busy shop.

As a child, she and her uncle were
often summoned to the residences of the nobility of Highgarden. Whenever she
could escape the watchful eye of her uncle, Aurelia would wander and explore
the great towers; **agile** enough to keep out of sight of the house's
servants and guards. Not letting closed doors stop her, Aurelia gradually
learned how to **pick locks** using tiny sewing needles. She mostly
frequented the great libraries, reading every book she could find that
mentioned the history and heritage of House Florent.

During one of these excursions, an
incident occurred involving Aurelia, visiting Florent adolescents, and the
breaking into of a Maester's laboratory, that resulted in Aurelia's arrest by
the house guards.

Upon hearing about the tourney in
King's Landing, Aurelia takes her first trip to the capitol with her uncle to
observe the latest court fashions and broaden their network of patrons.
