Alinua is one of the protagonists of Aurora and the second one we meet. She is a Cloud Elf with a unique connection to Life, being born with the Chimeric Plague but somehow surviving into adulthood.

## Personality

Alinua is a fairly nice, goodhearted person, though her lack of social skills reflects her many years spent in isolation.

*more work needed*

## Appearance

Alinua is a purple cloud elf with curly pink hair (though at the beginning of the comic this appears less saturated and wavy). She was born with grey eyes but after losing control of her magical awakening while fighting a sentinel outside of Vash her eyes turned a bright green. She was born with a green birthmark in the shape of life's rune which can pass as a magic tattoo unless magically analysed.

## Abilities

Alinua is an incredibly gifted life mage due to her being a carrier of the chimeric plague. She was born with her life channel already open and had to work harder to limit her magic than she did to use it. She seems to have a more instinctual understanding of magic as seen in her conversation with Erin. Once she overloaded in the fight against Vash's sentinel, her magic became even more powerful as it was no longer "fighting her".

The same overload seemed to cause a connection to the primordial life. Life told her to run when the void dragon was near, made the void dragon afraid of her, and tipped her off to Kendal going after Falst on his own. Life can also take over her body, this has only occurred once so details on this possession are still undetermined. However it does appear that it only happens when she's unconscious.

## History

Alinua was born in the Nimbus Archipelago, a flying island chain (also known as "the Flying Islands" in the lore pages).

The exact details are not known, but since she was marked with the Chimeric Plague, she was abandoned by her parents who "dropped [her] over the edge". Thankfully, she was found and adopted into a small nearby town, and grew up oblivious to her curse. She somehow managed to survive past the age of five, all the time incredibly gifted Life Magic. However, her life was interrupted when she was ten and discovered the history of her marking and inevitable fate of its victims, causing her to run away from home in terror. From that point on, Alinua lived alone in the wilderness, often relying on offerings from strangers who mistook her for a nature spirit. She'd been living in isolation for the past ten years before she first ran into Kendal.

After about ten years living in isolation Alinua heard the destruction of Vash and emerged from her tree house to find out what was happening, only to find the city destroyed and Kendal (whom she mistook as Vash) unconscious on the ground, bleeding out. She attempted to heal him, but lost control of her power, threatening possible mutation of the body she was trying to heal. She then took him back to her tree to rest.

When Kendal woke up, he explained the destruction of the city to her and furthermore that he was not Vash, but rather a new soul inhabiting his incarnation. After learning of Vash's imprisonment and having a magical awakening while fighting a Sentinel, she decided to accompany Kendal on the quest to save Vash.

## Trivia

* Currently, Alinua is about twenty years old.
* Her birthday is unknown, but she was found by her adoptive parents on "the fourth day of the eighth sindahlan".
* Red has confirmed that Alinua did notice her change in eye color from pale to green, but mentally archived it as a lesser concern, being primarily relieved that her powers seemed to finally be in control.
