Allura Elwyn

### Background Story:

Allura Elwyn was born in London in 1890, in the midst of the Victorian era and the "Belle Époque". Her parents, recent bourgeoisie, were owners of one of the newest opera houses in the UK.

With the explosion of art and entertainment worldwide, Allura grew up surrounded by music, arts, laughter, and too many people to remember. Allura had always been an educated and exemplary child, committed to her private lessons with her tutors – writing, reading, singing... However, being the second daughter and a woman, her parents' and relatives' attention was always on her older brother, who would succeed their parents in the ownership of the opera house.

After her daily lessons, Allura would escape into the shadows and flee to the balconies at the top of the opera house, or even to the backstage. Tired of the way she was treated, Allura took refuge there, watching opera performances and letting the singing take possession of her, increasing and driving her passion for music.

As soon as she reached marriageable age, her father began to introduce her to other families, using outings, lunches, and the like as an excuse to try to arrange a marriage. Allura was strongly against this idea, but took the opportunity to demonstrate her voice and technique, which did not go unnoticed.

Soon her name began to be part of the talks through the bourgeoisie, and her family quickly found themselves inundated with requests to meet and hear Allura. This allowed her to escape her father's forced attempts and focuse on her singing. She began performing in small clubs, climbing to cabarets and bars, fascinating the public with her voice and beauty, and gaining fame throughout Britain.

One night in 1910, after a performance at a famous club in downtown London, Allura met Catherine Edgeworth: a beautiful entrepreneur who was making her debut in the music industry and was on the lookout for talented singers she could launch into the world market.

The offer seemed sensible to Allura: she would make her contacts available to Allura so she could improve her technique with singing experts, but she would have to sacrifice her free time because Catherine only had time available at night. After being polished, Allura would travel the world with Catherine.

After a few months, Allura had climbed the social ladder and began attending opera houses and high-status dinners. Of course, always accompanied by Catherine.

However, everything changed in 1914 with the start of World War I. There was no longer time for art and entertainment, and not only was Allura's family beginning to lose money, but they also feared for their lives. It was then that Catherine made an offer to her parents: in exchange for some amount of their money, they would give up Allura, and she would flee Britain with Catherine to a safe place.

That was the last time Allura saw her family.
