Character Approval/Aurora Borealis

deny this, please. I don't want this character to be approved.

1) **Describe your character's backstory. Who are their parents? Did they grow up with Nobility, or were they of lower class? The character's backstory must be at least 2 paragraphs long.**

Aurora was never normal since birth.

You know how elvin babies talk the moment they’re born? Well Aurora wasn't born that way and it freaked her parents out. She growth rate was more similar towards a human rather than an elf, and her parents believed something was wrong with her. She was much more slower than other kids in speaking and she always had a blank expression on her face which crept other children. Although she was a slow-thinker, she was quite intelligent in reading other people’s behavior and emotions just by observing, which *also* creeped many elves. Many parents kept their kids away from Aurora because they thought she was a bad influence. At first her parents tried to “fix” her through therapy and regular trips to the family’s physician, but soon gave up after Aurora’s little sister, Ivy, came into the world. Her parents then only focused on Ivy and neglected Aurora because she was so unordinary. Aurora was 4 by the time Ivy was born and her parent’s sudden mistreatment towards her scarred her deeply. Aurora felt unwanted and her mind instinctively triggered a defense mechanism that made her incapable of feeling any emotions. She soon started Foxfire and was bullied a lot, which made her self esteem plummet.

In Foxfire, she never did well in her exams and barely passed with Cs and possibly Bs if she was lucky. She manifested as an Empath way back in Level One but since her mind was instinctively blocking emotions from developing, she was unable to detect her ability. She was always overshadowed by Ivy, who manifested early in Level Two as a Telepath, a rare Talent. Aurora’s parents were both worried and annoyed Aurora wasn‘t manifesting and often yelled at her to try harder and called her a freak. She was always compared to her little sister who always seemed perfect and flawless and Aurora couldn’t really get close to her sister.

One day after school, Aurora found a female calico stray cat, heavily malnourished and on the brink of death. The female cat had color all over it’s fur like polka dot and was quite...unique. She felt an emotion something she never felt before(pity) and brought the cat and nursed it back to health. After the cat was healthy again she freed the cat and left it outside so it could leave and explore on its own but the cat kept on coming back, and Aurora eventually understood the cat wanted to stay with her. She named the calico cat Daffodil. As she raised and spent time with the cat she slowly began to feel joy and happiness. Daffodil helped lower her defense mechanism and Aurora was bombarded with all sorts of emotions, sadness, happiness, anger, jealousy, etc. She found out she could read other people’s emotions by the end of level five(Empath).

Her parents began to treat her a bit more differently after she came out as an Empath. She excelled in her SAFS and other students began to respect her. Her self-esteem had gotten a bit more higher. Ivy reached out to Aurora and slowly the two of them started setting aside their differences and got really close to one another. Aurora helped Ivy with her cognate trainings(Ivy is a cognate in training). Aurora still has some trouble figuring out her emotions and get used to interacting with other people. She’s now a Level Six student who actively participates in groups that represents the minority and helps others who experience similar hardships she went through. Her motto in life is "Talent can't be taught, but it can be awakened.".

2) **What is your character's personality like? Are they respectable, or rude? The character's personality must be a paragraph long.**

INFP-T. She’s very confusing, that’s all I can say. Her personality is mixed and hard to define since she’s just starting to sort out and recognize her feelings. Aurora’s sometimes pretty blunt and straight forward and is very awkward with strangers. She easily gets timid but is fierce and bold when she’s defending her beliefs and her loved ones. It’s hard to get her to really trust you, but once you do, you‘ll never lose her loyalty ever again(unless you do something stupid and trigger her defense mechanism to activate again).

3) **What does your character look like? Do you have a model in mind for them? (if you do, you only need to say who it is)**

Ariana Grande or JinSoul, depending on who looks more like her.

4) **Describe your character's skill set. What they are good at? What do they want to be good at? What are they not good at?**

She’s good at reading other people’s emotions and observing behavior of people and animals. She’s not good at explaining and describing her emotions, and wants to get better at her social skills.
