### Pre-Series

Auristela and her twin brother were born in San Fuego as children of Lumbre and a mortal father. Lumbre never truly developed any kind of maternal bond with her children and they, in turn, were raised by their mortal father. After his death, they were taken in by their mother and, from an early age, were taught about the ways of fire powers as well as the concept of befriending only other Golds. They were then sent to The Academy, where Auristela specialized in igniting fires, while Aurelio specialized in manipulating fires.

### Main Series

She and her brother first appear in Quetzlan trying to extinguish a fire that broke out in a panadería where Teo tries to rescue the humans trapped in it. Later on, Auristela and her brother get chosen as Sunbearer Trials competitors during the selections. She then tries to do her very best to come out as the Sunbearer during the trials. She comes off as first during the La Cumbre trial but later falls to third after the El Valle trial. She then gives off cryptic warnings for Teo and his friends about the next trials and the thought of facing her and her brother. Then in Opal Oasis, she is teamed up with Niya, but strangely, she attacks her with her fire powers and ultimately ends up getting tagged out by Atzi. At the Laberinto trial, she goes with her brother to retrieve the Sol Stone replica in order to win, thus she tries to take the stone from Teo but smashes it when Aurelio refuses to take it. Then during the Los Restos trial, she again atacks Teo, Xio, and Niya in a mystreious, yet murderous fashion but ends up falling into the abyss after snapping back to reality. She is then ultimately selected as the sacrificial offering for Sol. However, Teo refuses to sacrifice her and, with Xio revealing himself to be an Obsidian, he unwittingly frees the traitor gods and the Celestials. She tries to hold on to her brother when Caos creates a rift taking most of the semidioses with them, only to lose her grip. She then tells Teo to find them before being sucked into the rift.

### Physical Appearance

Auristela takes after her mother. In fact, her profile card comes out as a near spitting image of the diosa. She appears as an attractive 17-year-old girl with a tan complexion and her long, black hair often being tied in a high ponytail like Diosa Lumbre. She also appears to be athletic enough to be able to handle numerous strenuous activities. She is also often seen wearing a crop top with black pants throughout the series.

### Personality

She takes great pride in her Gold status, so much so that she tends to look at anyone else except her brother and Ocelo with disdain and disgust, even mortals. She seems personally insulted when Diosa Opción mentions that it is humanity that has the most power and not the dioses. She also strives to be the very best she can be for her mother in order to win her approval and love. But deep beneath her hard, proud countenance, she does display some degrees of affection and care, as Aurelio mentions to Teo that she is the only person he can relate well to besides him. Auristela may feel the same way for her brother. Even when she is ultimately chosen to be the sacrificial offering for Sol, she tries to maintain her cool demeanor, although she ends up shedding tears for her imminent demise. At first, she appears hostile to Teo and Xio for being Jades and Niya for being friends with them (she even goes far as to call them default sacrifices), but as she and many others get taken by the Obsidians, she entrusts Teo with finding them and rescuing them before getting sucked into the dark chasm void.

### Abilities

Like her brother and mother, Auristela's powers are fire-based. However, she is the only one of the twins who can create the fires, while her brother manipulates them. She can conjure up flame walls, fireballs, and even transform into a fireball herself. She also can be deadly when she loses control of herself and attacks with no regard for others' safety.
