## Biography

### Early Life

Aurora was born on the 7th April 1995, to Michelle and Lewis Stone shortly after they got married. Then two years later, her parents had another daughter, Aileen. Growing up in Surrey, the two girls were inseparable and both shared a love for books, much like their parents.

Aurora's relationship with her sister deteriorated when she was nineteen, when Aileen fell pregnant. Aurora would not learn about her sister's pregnancy until much later, in 2017 at the age of twenty-two.

While Aileen was always considered the rebellious daughter, Aurora was believed to be "perfect". She kept all the rules her parents gave her and very rarely needed disciplining.

Aurora's mother, Michelle had a bit of a drinking problem, which was never fully understood, but seemed to relate to Aileen's estrangement.
