Aurora Locke

*"I am the monster you created. And I will watch as you burn." - **Aurora Locke** - Act XIV: Freedom Requires Sacrifice*

Aurora Locke is the representative of Ozen for the IX, one of the protagonists of the story. Aurora is a captain and well know criminal from Ozen. She was on a job dropping off some supplies when she met Celia Van Doren which led to the idea of overthrowing The Capital. Aurora helped the IX with their fight against The Capital with he ability to control flames and also her skill in combat and with weapons. She is dubbed 'The Captain' in stories and legends of the IX.

## The IX's Revolution

Aurora is one of the original three that came up with the plan against The Capital. Aurora had been waiting for this moment for years, she was sick and tired of how the people of Ozen where being treated by The Capital. She was against the system and showed that everyday. The people of Ozen where being forced into work and the fruit of their labour was being taken by The Capital. Aurora and her crew wreaked havoc for The Capital and their nation issued officers, causing her wanted poster to be plastered around most of the cities. Seeing what the capitals greed has caused the people around her made her want to help but she was also searching for answers in her own story.

## Personality and Traits

*"Aurora was fiery, quite literally, but when she was with Celia she flowed like a soft ember, comfortable and at peace. She held herself with such confidence, the sort most people could only dream of. " - Harvey Paleswift. Act I: The Plan*

Aurora emotions link almost directly too the fire that she can control. She is confident and bold, her emotions controlling her probably more than she controls them. Aurora's confidence and flirty personality often causes people to think of her as egotistical and full of herself but it is quite the opposite. She doesn't care about what others think except if it is those she cares about. She value the opinions of those close to her.

Auroras morals could be questioned early on in the story. She seems slightly more swayed when it comes to money or anything with high value but as she grows closer to the others and falls in love, her morals shift. She would do anything to save those she cares about even putting herself in danger.

## Physical Description

Aurora has dark skin with sharp blue eyes. Her deep brown skin is covered in tattoos, the ink turning the colour of embers when she uses her abilities. Her hair is large and full of vibrant curls, her hair is dark brown almost black until the ends of her hair which is dyed a bluish green, the colour of seafoam. Often times throughout their journey she'll switch up her style sometimes having braids or a more updo style for ease. She wears golden jewellery in her hair as well as wearing many necklaces and lots of rings. Her outfits are those of a captain and she will always carry her flintlock pistol at her side, each bullet having a name carved onto it, tucked into the many belts and sashes that sit at her waist. And she never goes far without her beloved captains hat, except when Jacob or Bree have stolen it.

## Powers and Abilities

Aurora has the ability to control and summon fire. Her power is heavily linked to her emotions so when she is happy flames around her will flicker contently but when her anger is in charge the fire is aggressive and almost blinding. Her ability to control fire also comes with the ability to endure it, the flames she summons don't burn her skin or if she can help it her clothes, but she's never full tested that limit.
