**Aelita Pauline Astrug-Marchenko** is the oldest daughter and child of Eleonora Astrug-Marchenko through Lux Morgenstern, she is the older half-sister of Milena, Baldur and Talia, and the older sister of Niklaus.

## Appearance

Aelita is a young girl with creamy blonde hair, green eyes that change shades depending on what she is feeling at the moment, an oval-shaped face rounded by age with her father's nose, her mother's lips and board shoulders. She is also very pale.

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

* **Nephilim-Witch Physiology** - Leta is a hybrid like her aunt Rosie, down to the fact her mother's a Witch and her father being a Nephilim. As she is just a child, her abilities haven't fully manifested itself though this is also due to having a partial binding spell on her much like her mother at that age.
	+ **Aura Perception** - Aelita is able to see the auras of other living beings, such as humans and the black roses that grew out of Arian's body and surrounding their house.
	+ **Flight** - Despite the binding spell, 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** - When Eleonora was pregnant, she knew that she was going to bind the babies' powers so she made a pendant to act as a temporary binder, that would allow little bits of her magic to seep out instead of all at once like herself. The pendant is of a tiger carved out a rowan wood with the beads being white, purple and orange.

## Etymology

* Aelita was a name created by Russian author Aleksey Tolstoy for his science fiction novel *Aelita* (1923), where it belongs to a Martian princess. In the book, the name is said to mean "starlight seen for the last time" in the Martian language.
* Pauline is the French feminine form of Paul, which is from the Roman family name *Paulus*, which meant "small" or "humble" in Latin.
* 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". It was generally given as an amuletic name and sometimes used as a translation of Hebrew Mazel Tov and/or Gad which means "fortune, luck" in Hebrew.
* 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*).
