## About

Aurora was born with a brother, older by her by more than a decade, that she lived briefly alongside for her time as a hatchling until he grew out of the little house and moved to the shore, leaving her with few early memories of him. Her dad passed away when she wasn’t much older than five. The experience of losing him so early on left her filled with a swirl of emotions she didn’t know how to handle or process or even name at that age, but she wasn’t alone in her grief, and her mother Lina helped her through the hard time.

Hard at work from elementary through middle school, Aurora breezed through her studies, but things took a turn in early high school when she met another lizard named Magnus. He was a year older than her and insisted she come along to all sorts of parties and gatherings she had no business attending. The experiences messed her up — she made decisions she never would have made before meeting Magnus, and collected addictions like trading cards.

The worst day of Aurora’s life was in her junior year of high school when she discovered she was pregnant. She was informed by the doctor that if she laid the egg, the hatchling inside would be affected heavily by her drinking habits — and on top of that, she still had a whole year left of high school. Aurora made the most difficult decision in her life, one she could never have anticipated, and chose not to have the hatchling.

Magnus treated her like a piece of garbage the second he found out. He waited to see her face just so that he could hurl insults and spit at her. He left her in the dust without a glance back, and Aurora was crippled inside. Lina pulled her out of school and saw to it that she received counseling for the rest of the time she would have been in high school. Dunkin, a trumpeter in the school’s marching band, was a close friend that Aurora had made through one of the parties, but as soon as she found out what happened she was at Aurora’s house every day talking to her and telling her awful jokes to cheer her up.

After that point, Aurora was determined to prove that she could go on and continue living life. She worked her tail off in the next summer doing make-up college-level work. She and Dunkin worked a number of random jobs together to build up savings to get a college education. By the middle of what would’ve been her senior year of high school, she and Dunkin had gathered enough to take her to college — and that was what she did when autumn rolled around.

Dunkin had lived in Blinkyville with her brother and mothers for all her life, but since her brother Snickerdoodle Chip was sharing an apartment with his roommate Cakey and her mothers wanted to move closer to the shore, their old house — which had been fully bought years before — was left to Dunkin. There was money left over, a combined amount from the savings Aurora’s parents had initially set aside years ago and the scraps of extra cash she and Dunkin made from jobs, that gave her enough to buy a small house of her own, with the perm of being right by Dunkin’s. Aurora committed to making the place her own space where she could write in peace and find herself at calm with the remnants of the recurring thoughts that unnerved her.

Moving to Blinkyville placed Aurora much closer to Little Italy, the town where her older brother IcySky lived, and so the two of them (as well as IcySky’s husband Prince Toast and adopted daughter Little Ace) visited each other and finally created the bonds that they were too far apart from one another to have created earlier on in their lives.

The next biggest decision of her life was to adopt the 10-year-old Carol — giving her a second chance at motherhood in a way that helped someone who needed a family as well as on her own terms.
