## Bio

#### Early Life

Kota Aura Rae is a Eurasian-Hokkaido wolf. She is from a small town near Nagoya, Japan in the Aichi Prefecture. She was born around June 17th, 1985. She was born to a Eurasian wolf from western Austria and a descendant Hokkaido wolf from Aomori Prefecture, where Kota's brother Moris was born. Moris is about 5-6 years older than Kota. Her mother was an officer for the prefectural police where Kota lived most of her life. When she was young, her mother died while on duty and had to live with her father and uncle. She doesn't talk about her mother much and prefers to not remember the incident, the only people outside her family that knows about it is Maru and Tanor.

Her uncle is a police chief and her father had to move to the United States and worked in Washington State. So she spent her life primarily with just her uncle in Nagoya. She was able to travel to the US to visit her father, but never lived with him though.

Kota was taught at home, but eventually went to elementary school and middle school once she lived with her uncle alone. She started getting into fighting and wrestling as a sport as young as 12. Her brother Moris was already skilled in ninjutsu and fighting by the time he graduated. So it inspired her to get into it as well.

Though she started getting into underground fighting and had a name for herself in cage fighting circuits. This is where she met up with Maru Kiba of all places. Though they knew each other since childhood, they didn't get to talk to each other.

Maru lived by himself on an island, exiled by his father, but would often travel and he went to Nagoya where he crossed paths with Kota. Taken by her appearance and good nature, he wanted to know her more and would often help her and her family as a side job. He had no idea she was fighting in secret.

Kota fought in the underground circuit since she 14 by an employer that seemed to know her. She started winning matches and seemed like a gold mine since no one was able to touch her in a fight before getting knocked out in as little as one hit on the biggest fighters they had.

Though Kota wasn't special like Maru was, or later-met Tanor, she had to really dig into training and asking her brother to take time off from Leaf Village duties to help train her. Since Moris had special ninjutsu regarding the moon, Kota's special taijutsu regards her aura, which is why she was named 'Aura', and Moris was given 'Moon'. Once Kota learned how to channel her aura, she started being able to fight like he does. She used that for her circuit fighting later on.

It was soon learned by Kota that her boss was planning to drop her because she was losing him money by winning, and started threatening her to lose matches or there would be 'consequences'. She eventually turned to her uncle and told him what was going on. Though her uncle had been chief, he didn't have the ability to help her until something happened, but promised to have someone looking after her so she could figure out an exit, since her boss forbade her from quitting the circuit as well, with threats of violence.

This is where Maru enters fray and took part in the circuit as an unknown fighter. Having blown past fighters just as fast as Kota has. Now it came down to the championship match between one of Kota's biggest rivals and biggest odds. This happened to be the one fight she had to take a dive on, but it turns out that her opponent was hired to kill her on the ring. Maru couldn't take it anymore and stepped in to save her and tell her tha she didn't have to hold back, and nothing would happen if she won that one, and would step inside the ring to help, but knew she could win on her own strength, but the support from Maru was what pushed her into action.

Later, Maru accompanies Kota to visit her boss to get her out of the circuit and out of trouble for good. Her boss was rightfully scared of Maru moreso than Kota, and agreed to drop her and forget he ever knew her. Maru then forced him to give up every penny that was earned on her blood. Using the money, they would be able to purchase an island and build a new home, where Kota decided to go with Maru to live with. With the approval of her uncle of course, proud of them both's growth.

Years later on an island somewhere, living with Maru together, she was 17, and just built the place of their dreams. A small, but modest cabin on a forested island. This is where Kota and Maru, meets up with Tanor for the first time. This is where the three of them begin their multiuniversal journey.

#### Oltanis Sigma: Episode of Kota

## Powers

Kota is an expert in many forms of martial arts, and has speciality in cage fighting combat or close quarters. She doesn't have innate powers as other characters do, but she worked on and gained the ability to ki manipulate her strength. She can focus her energy into her fists and body to become a formidable weapon, able to explode energy into a single point of attack. Particularly if she chains attacks together, she'd accumulate lots of pressure against the opponent.

Kota is also a trained medical ninja, and can heal with her aura energy. She started being able to do this during the first season, and got better at using her healing powers later.

Sometime later, she starts exploring uses of poison and implementing different types. With her knowledge in the medical field, she started specializing in poisons as well as healing. It's during Oltanis Sigma, that her very body becomes able to poison using her pads and claws. Kota has always thought her powers were more geokinetic, the ability to move earth, but found a talent in poison manipulation instead.
