Aurum Goldwater

### **Killer Style**

I am very fond of skin tight stretchy glittery outfits, I always look ready to party! And gold jewelry is a must!

### **Monster Quirk**

My touch can turn things into gold. Thankfully some of the Cyclopes friends I have managed to create a bracelet that counteracts this “talent”, and so I don’t turn everything to gold when wearing it. But the instant I take it off… you get the idea. Also, my hair is gold. Literally. I used to wear it long, but that hurt my neck.

### **Pet**

A Pegasus named Strawberry. She always wears an enchanted collar to keep me from turning her into Au. (that’s the periodic sign for gold, for all you out there who aren’t chemistry buffs.)

### **Favorite Activity**

Dancing, intentionally turning things to gold, swimming.

### **Biggest Pet Peeve**

Accidentally turning something, or someone, into gold. Do you have any idea how much of a pain that is? First I have to find some running water to counteract it, then somehow get it or them to the water (gold people are so heavy! >.<) then when they unfreeze, have to put up with their complaining.

### **Fav School Subject**

Swimming. My powers are completely harmless there. And Alchemy. Turn lead into gold? No problem!

### **Least Fav Subject**

Don’t really have one until the teacher makes me take my bracelet off.

### **Favorite Color**

Gold and all shades of brown, but especially mocha.

### **BFFs**

## Appearance

Aurum has dark skin, brown eyes, and gold hair, like ACTUAL gold, for some odd reason her hair is made of gold, so she has to keep it short or it will get too heavy and snap her neck.

She loves to wear skin tight glittery outfits all the time, since she likes to always be ready to party. Her shoes are solid gold, and since she always wears these as well, she has very strong legs.

## Personality

Aurum is very fun-loving, always ready to have a good time. Unlike her father who has an unhealthy obsession for gold, Aurum is the exact opposite, having been born with the ability to turn things into gold by touching them, she tends to take it for granted and doesn't much care for it.

She is always open to making new friends, but she also has trust issues countering this, as many have attempted to get close to her not because of who she is as a person, but because of their greed and desire to use her to make themselves rich. When this happens, she feels no remorse in turning them into gold as well.

## Abilities

### Gold Touch:

Like her father, King Midas, her touch can turn anything to gold.

## Relationships

### Family:

She has a older brother, Prince, whom she is very close to, and an older sister. She does not get along well with her father and has frequently ran away from home with her brother. She does not have much of a relationship with her mother, Masika, an African mage woman, who left her father when she was very young.

### Friends:

Her best friend is her brother.

She is open to making friends, so long as they don't befriend her for her gold.

## Behind the Name

Her name "Aurum" is the latin word for gold.

Her last name "Goldwater", comes from the temporary name of the Narnian island Deathwater, in which there was a lake with the ability to turn anything into gold. At the bottom of this lake was a gold statue of a man, who had died diving into it, showing that the ability to turn things into gold is often a curse as well as a blessing.
