**Aelita Pauline Astrug-Marchenko** is the oldest child and daughter of Eleonora Astrug-Marchenko through Bastian Morgenstern, she is also the spiritual daughter of Ognyena, due to being fused with Eleonora. This also makes her the older sister of Oscar, Damian, Milena, Elijah, Talia and NIklaus (who is her only full-blooded sibling).

## Appearance

Aelita is a nine-year-old girl, with creamy blonde hair and heterochromia with her left eye being gold and her right eye being a green. Her green eye changes shades depending on what she is feeling. She has her mother's oval face by rounded due to age with her father's nose, full lips, and board shoulders.

Her crimson red wings are described as metallic with each feather sharp like a precision blade. Each feather/blade has the top part crimson with the hairs or fibers sticking out of the sides, while the end or blade itself is black.

## Abilities and Skills

* **Demigoddess Physiology** - Aelita is a demigoddess born of three parents; two mothers, one Human and one Celestial that fused together and a Vanerian father making Aelita more of a tribrid then a hybrid. Due to being only nine years old, her abilities haven't fully manifested itself though her abilities are partly subsided due to binding charm on Aelita that allows her to enjoy a normal childhood and not be afraid of herself.
	+ **Immense Spiritual Pressure** -
		- **Animankinesis** - Aelita natural affinity is presenting itself as life manipulation much like her own mothers. She has should the ability to interact and communicate with the souls of the deceased and spirits of natural but can only trap the souls of the deceased within objects.
			* **Soul Trapping** - Aelita is capable of trapping the souls she comes into contact with into objects such as her stuffed animals, toys, etc.
		- **Jaekegan** - Aelita inherited the Jaekegan through her father, a divine ability that is a sign of great prosperity and misfortune. From what is known through Bastian it reduces the energy consumption from the technique the user does making sure she doesn't use up too much energy in a potential fight. It is heavily implied that Jaekegan allows for the user to perceive the world in terms of mass, speed, energy, and so forth alongside its other effects.
			* **Enhanced Perception** - Aelita due to her Jaekegan possesses glaringly superior analytical and observational skills as well as a keen eye for details, beyond normal limitations of their species because their capabilities are pushed beyond the natural level, making their perception immensely more powerful than any regular being.
			* **History Reading** - Due to the death of her surrogate father, Leta developed a power unknown to the other Jaekegan user, her biological father Bastian which is that she can instantly read a person's history reading (\*&\*) once he looked her in the eyes confirming why she smelt of Atreu's mana on him, because he was the one who murdered him.
	+ **Flight via Wings** - Aelita is also capable of generating her own pair of wings out of her aura unlike her mother butterfly wings, Aelita has a pair of tiny wings that are red and bladed as they are capable of hurting another person. Her wings are strong and sharp enough that they can slice through stone with ease and agile enough to stab a fly with some accuracy.

### Possessions

* **Pendant** - Leta wears a pendant carved out of rowan wood in the shape of a cat with the necklace itself being made out of beads that are the color of white, pinkish-red and orange. This is the binding charm that suppresses Leta's power before she is mentally able to handle the consequences of her abilities.
* **Knitted Hats** - Leta's favorite piece of her closet is a vast collection of knitted hats including a Krampus, a ram, and a cat.

* Astrug is a variant derived from Provençal *astruc* "lucky", ultimately from Greek *aster* "star" and thus having the extended meaning of "born under a good star".

* Marchenko is the Ukrainian variant of Marko which is a form of Mark in several languages. Mark is the Latin form of Marcus a Roman praenomen, or given name, that was probably derived from the name of the Roman god Mars which is possibly related to Latin *mas* meaning "male" (genitive *maris*).
