Please stop by our Shop, Throught the Looking Glass to learn more! Aurora Age: 20ish. Personality: Calm, peaceful, STILL ticklish. Still loves swimming, but not as much, and active still. Isn't quite as boy-crazy as she used to be, and she's calmed down. Loves: To swim, the ocean, to get others to swim. Precious stones, semi-precious stones, she's trying to start her own collection. Art, and horses, and tickling people. And Kia, and Taka. And now, she's taken an interest in Dreams. Aurora's cert can be found here.

Aurora.
Age:
20ish
Height and Weight:
5.6", won't tell anyone her weight.
Birthdate:
Coming.
Hair:
Golden Brown.
Eyes:
One golden brown, one yellow.
Birthplace, this life:
...from a vase.
Birthplace, other:
Unknown, presumed Greece.
Other facial features/other apperance details:
A backwards Eye of Horus 'birthmark' under one eye. Three white dots underneath the other eye.
Dress (Style, colors):
Aurora wears clothes that are Greekish, that is, they tend to have something that gives you the image of Greece. She loves to wear fashionable clothing though, and she'll wear that instead. When swimming, she'll wear a bikini with ties. This also means 'less is more', even in winter.
Personality:
Aurora's starting to really mature now, even more so with Adrian's... influance. She's not as obsessed about boys now, getting over that and now starting to take care of herself. But whenever she's in water, she becomes a lot more Nymph in personality.
Description/Images of home:
Coming.
Best friend:
No best friend.
Boyfriend:
Aurora: ._.
Close friends and friends:
No close friends, but there is Adrian.
Enemies:
Zanna, although Aurora has no idea about that. o.o She's crushed by Ura, but she still adores him.
Powers/Quirks/Habits of Auroras.Teenagerism.Aurora's starting to rebel against Kia and her ways, and the body that she mimiced... which, technally, is just a copy of Kia's physical self. And, adding onto that, she's now rebeling against anything else she can manage. Of course, she's still good for a cuddle when she needs one... another of Kia's habits passed over. XD Breathing underwater.It's not exactly easy for her to do, and the adjustment from water to air, or air to water can take a few minutes at least. But she can do it, and once she's adjusted, she can manage to remain in water for hours at a time. Aurora can handle fresh longer for the longest amount of time, followed by seawater, then pool water. Chemicals don't agree with her. Water.It doesn't matter if it's from a river, lake, ocean... and it doesn't have to be a pool of water, from rain, or snow. If Aurora's damp from water, or in it, or has wet hair... a semi-controled side of her is provoked and tends to run rampage. Aurora has no idea how to keep it under control at the moment. And, although she doesn't know at the moment, it isn't really restricted to just males, or certian humanoid races. Magazines.Aurora loves beautiful things, jewelry, clothes, and so on... and magazines have become her sorce for how to make herself beautiful as well. Lately, it's becoming more of an obsession to be perfect, like the women in the magazines. Sleeping.Another thing that Aurora loves. She tends to dream in vivid color, with sound and smell. When she was younger, and closer to Kia in spirit and personality, she'd often be an observer to Kia's dreams. She even once walked to Anen's house in a dream, and they spoke for a little while. Nothing like that's happened now though, since she became a teenager.  Aurora is a mix of two fa'e. Kia, her Guardian, and Kia's boyfriend. Kia kept a picture of Taka next to the mirror, so Aurora never got any of his traits. (That have been seen so far.) Traits recorded: Kia's ticklish side. Kia's lack of physical strength. Kia's Eye of Horus, although it's reversed. Taka's three spots. Neith's height. Kia's cuddly urges. Curly blonde hair from Kia. Taka's eyes. Neith's skin.

Neith, and Neith's family.
Neith is what Aurora sees as Aunt Neithie. She doesn't exactly appricate the title... she's not old. but she is very fond of Aurora none the less, and often Aurora goes with her to the shop while Kia does teenager-ish-things. Neith and Aurora get on well, Neith's teaching her to ride and is encoruging the collection of gemstones. ^_^

Kia and Aurora.
"Noo... stop bouncing!" Kia whined, as the active girl jumped up and down on the large bed beside her. She yawned, rubbed her eyes and glared up at Aurora. "I so sleepy... let me sleeep!"
"No, I want to do something!" Aurora continued to jump up and down, and fell on all fours to poke at Kia. "Don't sleep! I want to go shopping, or go swimming, or go see animals! Go to a zoo! I want to see the world!"
Kia grumbled at sat up slowly. Aurora had been here barely an hour, and she was already talking better than Kia was. Not only that, she was acting as if someone had fed her 90 percent coffee, 9.5 percent sugar and .5 percent water, she just wouldn't stop moving!
Aurora squealed, "Yay!" and rushed out of the room, calling something about going to brush her hair. Kia just grumbled more in Egyptian, and flopped out of the large bed onto the cold floor.
Half an hour later, they were making their way down Durem. Kia opened the empty shop up with her key, locked it behind her, while Aurora ran upstairs to inspect the old rooms.
"Don't fall though floors!" Kia called, but she may as well have told the wall, Aurora was too busy exploring to listen.
Kia started to carefully clean and wrap the delicate items bubble wrap, as Neith had asked her to do, and sorted them in baskets on old tables in one corner. The room was filled with odd things, small and large, and Kia found strange things mixed in with it. Old keys, jewelry boxes, music boxes, things that no one had seen before. And of course, the MANY mirrors. As she tried to clear one table, Kia wrote down everything she'd found as she'd been asked. She was getting paid for this, it wasn't just for the fun of it.
Meanwhile, Aurora was peering through old doors into dust filled rooms. The furniture was long dead, and she kicked at one couch as a test. It fell over straight away, in a poof of dust.
"I think we need to paint this room blue." Aurora decided, and went over to open the window to let out the musty smell. "With light blue stripes around windows."
"Blue?" A woman's voice startled Aurora from the door. Neith stepped in, and stopped to peer down at the little girl. She did look like Kia, and Taka, expet for the clothing choices and the skin... "You must be Aurora. I'm Kia's Guardian, Neith."
Aurora peered up at Neith, and then smiled a huge smile. "I am Aurora! Hello Auntie Neithie! Can we paint this room blue?"
Neith twitched at her name. Auntie... Neithie?! She went to correct Aurora, but the words melted in her mouth at the eager girl's smile. "Uh. Yes. Yes, I think we can."
"It can be the room for toys!" Aurora decided cheerfully as she walked over to slip her hand in Neith's hand, not worried that Neith was a near-stranger. "I found a kitchen too, but it is very dirty. And look!"
She let out a little squeal, as she held up a dusty necklace for Neith to inspect. It was silver, with a dolphin pendent. Aurora had tried to clean it with her thumb, and parts of the cleaned dolphin glittered blue where there must have been some sort of gem. "I found it! Can I keep it?"
Neith nodded, feeling slightly overwhelmed by the girl's outgoing manner. Even Kia wasn't like this! "Of course, but you will have to clean it. I came up here to ask you if you wanted breakfast, actually... Kia is hungry, and we can go to a cafe nearby?"
"Food?" Aurora paused to think about that, and her stomach rumbled. She giggled, and nodded. "I am starving, let's go!"
She dragged Neith downstairs again, to where Kia was waiting, Neith blinking a bit more. Interesting girl...

"Come oooon!" Kia whined, wincing as she did. She still hadn't caught up with Shina yet, and add that to the problem of having ... well... it wasn't quite a problem, but it was when she had to stop every two minutes so that MISSY could look at the ocean through the trees...
Aurora let go of Kia's hand, and bounced around her in excited circles. "Can we go? Can we go? Can we go? Mummy?"
Kia rubbed her temples, not really feeling mean enough to tell this girl that she wasn't her 'mummy'. She nodded, "Later, when my back is healed. Then we can go."
Truthfully, she wanted to avoid the sand. It would hurt her sore back!
When Taka's eyes finally opened, his mind taking a few seconds to awake after that, he realized that a bright sun wasn't shining in his face as it usually did when he woke up suddenly..something a bit darker was in his face. He couldn't figure out if this 'dark thing' was cold, or hot, but whichever it was, it was to the extreme of one of those two, so he moved his arms and pushed himself up with a blinking expression on his face.
And THEN he was blinded by the shining sun.
As he got to a sitting position and rubbed at his temporary blinded eyes, it occured to him why he had been shoved against a dark surface, although he was still too tired to figure out if it was hot or cold. He had fallen asleep on the rooftop last night, and obviously, had slept for a little longer than he had hoped for. Oh well.
After a few minutes, he yawned with a shrug, and wandered his way back downstairs, not even bothering to look around to see if anyone was in HQ. A second later, he was outside and wandering down a path, eyes half-opened as he yawned again. Little did he know it was going to be the same path as Kia and Aurora..
Aurora saw Taka first, Kia was busy trying to calm the stabbing pains she was getting, again, thanks to 'Miss-Bounce-and-pull!' Aurora stopped in her tracks, Kia ran into her, Kia let out a loud, "Oww!" while Aurora stepped sideways so that Kia could fall onto the path and not onto her...
So while Kia wriggled around on the path in pain, Aurora stared at Taka. She reached up to finger the three dots on her face, and then she brightened up and jumped at Taka with a pounce that only Kia could rival.
"Hello!" Aurora chimed, her arms around Taka's waist and her eyes staring up at him with a wide awed expression. This was the boy in Kia's photo! "I know you!"
Kia glanced up from where she was on the ground, and slowly got up on her own. "Stupidbackandstupidgirlsbouncingmorethanme... Taka, hello! Meet Aurora."
She wandered to Taka's other side, and turned his head away from Aurora to her face so that Kia could kiss him as long as she possibly could manage.
Aurora crossed her arms, pouted, and tapped one foot.
Taka hadn't even noticed that Kia and 'Aurora' were nearby, as he wandered around with his eyes gazing up at the sky. It probably wasn't the brightest thing to be doing, especially right about now, because he had nothing to warn him that he was about to get attacked by an active little girl.
He stumbled back a step with an "oof" and a bewildered look now on his face, as he peered down at the girl clinging to his waist. She *knew* him? Well, he certainly didn't know her?
"Um, hi?" He started to say, a little unsure if this girl was hyped up on sugar, or just plain insane, but he brightened a little when he saw Kia, though the confusion was still clearly on his face. "Kia! Hey," he started, and then took a pause to look down at the girl again. "Aurora?"
So Kia knew her?
He didn't have another second to think about this 'Aurora', because his face was turned and he was brought into a nice, long kiss. Of course, he didn't mind, and he deepened it and helped make it as long as he could possibly make it last, too, but eventually it occured to him that breathing was a necessity, not to mention there was a strange little girl standing there, so he reluctantly broke it off.
"Aurora?" He repeated again, blinking a few times and then peering down at the girl who claimed to have 'known' him just a few moments ago.
Aurora continued to pout, as only someone who had seen it done a million times on Kia could do, before she brightened up and said, "Hello!" again to him. She glanced at Kia, and rolled her eyes, the kiss making Aurora want to go find someone ELSE to bother. These two were sharing cooties!
Kia was slightly disappointed that the kiss ended so quickly, and smiled sheepishly at Taka's confusion, and she wrapped a arm around his waist to tug him close, despite the pain the action caused. "Aurora is reflection. Of both of us. See, she has your eyes and your dots."
Her eyes didn't leave Taka's face, Kia was half-afraid that he'd get angry at her... "I not knew she would come, but she here now?"
Aurora stood up on tiptoes, to poke at the dots underneath Taka's eye. "I have those too!"
Kia groaned, and stuck her head in Taka's shoulder. Time alone with him wouldn't happen as long as it was those three only.
As all of this sunk in, Taka's expression stayed one of slight confusion, while he stared at Aurora, blinking a few times. Although the reflection part didn't quite click with him, he got the general gist that she somehow had traits of both him and Kia. How, he didn't know, but he did notice the eyes and the dots - and she did definitely look like Kia.
After a few seconds, a half-smile, half-grin started to form on his face, though it wasn't able to tell what kind of feelings were behind the smile. All in all, though, he had to admit that the little girl did have a cute air about her - how bad could she be?
He leaned over to give Kia a peck on the cheek, before reaching a hand out to poke at Aurora's nose. "Hey, you sure do, don't you? What are you, a dot thief?" The tone of his voice was playful and fun, and as he started to think about the fact that she had traits of him and Kia, a wicked grin started to form on his face. Waaait a minute..maybe..
With the wicked grin, he reached out with a hand and tried to tickle Aurora. He figured if she had any traits similiar to Kia, she'd be dieing of giggles in a few seconds.
Kia relaxed a little when Taka smiled, he wasn't angry. And he really didn't have a reason to be, but she was still afraid... Afraid for nothing, it seemed! Kia kissed Taka's cheek back briefly, and snuggled close to him while she watched him and Aurora together.
Aurora stared up at Taka, grinning as well. She watched him, and nodded happily when he asked her that question. "Yep! I stole dots... see, yours are white, and mine are purple. So I stole them!"
It all made perfect sense! Of course, she didn't understand what the smile meant, so she took a step closer to stare at him some more. Who stole the other three dots then?
Then she let out a loud squeak, and started to bat at Taka's hands with both of hers, giggling and squirming. "No fair! Cheat! I'll steal more dots if you don't stop! Stop! Kiiiaaa!"
Kia stood back, and shook her head. "No, it between you and Taka now."
Taka couldn't help but laugh quietly to himself, thinking that she really WAS a lot like Kia as he tickled her rapidly with both hands, not minding the batting, because he was used to all the kicking and squirming and smacking he got from Kia when he used to tickle her all the time. Speaking of which, it had been a while since he'd tickled Kia, hadn't it?
The wicked grin widened a bit, and he stopped the tickling, partly to give Aurora a breather, and partly to go to 'part 2'.
"I don't think I have anymore dots for you to steal.." He said, drawing out the sentence as if he was thinking about it, and thinking about any dots he might have. "But now that I think about it, you only have three, and that means someone else stole my other dots, doesn't it? Who do you think it was?"
He flashed an evil grin over to Kia, and turned to say a last thing to Aurora. "I think it was Kia, don't you? She seems very dot-thiefy, if you ask me." In a flash, he had scooted over where Kia was and moved his hands so he could tickle her arms. He STILL remembered her tickle spot, even after all this time, and it came in handy!
The moment Taka let go of Aurora, she bent over and tried to get her breath back, still giggling and laughing. She liked this Taka person, even if he liked torturing her with tickles! She glanced up at him as he told her more, and nodded with her own little wicked grin. "I think it Kia, Kia looks dot-thiefy. Let's get her!"
Kia's eyes went wide, and she backed up just as Taka attached himself to one arm, Aurora to the other. She squealed as well, wriggled, flailed, and through giggles and very loud laughter tried to say, "Ow, back, don't hurt me, ow... stop it, sillyheads! Taka, I want much love on roof now... meanie, stop it!"
Neith came up at that moment, just to hear 'Love on roof.' Her eye twitched, and she seemed VERY tempted to drag Taka off and let him know how she felt about 'love on roof'... but Kia was wounded. And too innocent. Neith twitched again, deciding that Kia probably meant snuggling. Yes. And kissing innocently. Kia was too innocent to know about how to do all of that, and she was hurt, so it wouldn't happen. Not till they were adults, AT LEAST.
"Come on, Aurora." Neith picked up the girl around the waist, picking her up and laughing when Aurora set her tickle-attack onto Neith instead. "Levi misses you already, Kia... so... We'll be at my house if you want to eat dinner with us"
She twitched again, and then started down the path as she switched Aurora onto her back for a piggy back. Aurora twisted around, and waved happily. "Bye Taka! I like you!"

Quote: Dear Diary All right, a week with Aurora and Levi means no time for me. But I am finally sitting down and ready to write everything that comes into my head! ...Aurora says 'Hi diary!' There has not been much happening.... well... there has been some more children. None Aurora's age, none that are as active or hyper as she is. I think we were lucky! There's still one mirror, we know it has a child, because it is acting up. But the child has not come out yet. I think I want to show some friends this store, maybe there is something here for one of them? Hoshi got something from the store, and a girl came from it! She is adorable, from what I seen of her. ...Aurora says that she isn't adorable. Right. Anyway. So now I think I should bring MoriMori here, he is very smart, maybe this shop will fascinate him a lot...? I hope it will, he seems sad sometimes. I got to take him out to cheer him up. ...now Aurora is teasing me about Morion being my boyfriend. When she KNOWS that Taka is my boyfriend. Why did I get Aurora and not calm little girl? I think that this attempt at writing diary has failed, Aurora won't leave me alone... -Kia

Aurora curled up in her bed, watching the stars twinkle outside the window. She couldn't sleep, the day she'd just had playing over and over in her mind like a broken record. That day, she'd met another fa'e. Fa'e were everywhere, it seemed, but this one stuck out and Aurora couldn't figure out why. His name was Anen, and he was very unusual. Four arms, four eyes. The top eyes, apparently, could see magic. He might have scared some children, but that wasn't why Aurora couldn't sleep. She just... felt so odd around him. Aurora felt love for him, but not the romance sort.
And she hated not understanding. Aurora craved to understand everything! Why the stars twinkled, why the sky was blue, who was who and what did they like, and what were people's dreams, and how did a flower grow, and now there was a question more pressing than any other question...
Why was Anen so important?
She didn't want to ask Kia, ever since Aurora had came out, she'd been driven to understand by her own methods. It usually was by asking, but not now. Aurora was almost scared to ask about Anen. And she'd started speaking a language that Kia couldn't understand, one that Anen called 'Greek'. She could speak it as easily as she could breathe, and even starnger, in sleep, Aurora found the strangest things.
Dreams. But dreams that she could walk through. Only last night, she'd walked through the wall of her own dream, and into Kia's dream. It had caused Kia to have another nightmare, and although she couldn't see Aurora, Aurora watched. She didn't know what to do! When she woke up, she was scared, Kia was scared, and Aurora didn't know why she was bad. She had vague memories of doing it to Kia more than once, while in the vase. Before coming out, she'd somehow followed Kia in her dreams so often, that Kia would wake up physically hurt.
Although usually feeling happy, right now, Aurora felt confused and upset. Why was she bad? Had she been something evil once? Why did she have power over dreams that she couldn't control?
Aurora curled up beside the window on the floor, and cuddled her legs while she tried to figure it all out. Something had to make sense...

"Neith!" Aurora's excited voice came from upstairs, and she came sprinting down the stairs to skid to a stop in front of the front desk. Neith glanced up from her work. She'd been carefully rubbing a soft brush over the jewels in a black mirror, the strange mirror that had been found before. "Hmm?" "The ghost said that the mirror with the blue jewels was a boy!" "Aurora, there's no such thing as ghosts." Neith answered calmly. She'd been scared of ghosts as a young elf girl- she didn't need Aurora to believe in them. "But I saw her!" "Her?" "Yes!" Aurora insisted, and pushed a drawing in front of Neith.  Aurora continued as Neith took the paper. "She wears hairclips and has feathers in her boots. And she is really nice." Neith sighed again, but decided to play along. Maybe she meant that this 'ghost' was her imaginary friend instead? "All right. She says the mirror is a boy?" "Yes, that's what she said." Aurora beamed. "Can we not sell him?" "WHAT?" "Boys have cooties." Aurora glanced around, and then leaned close to whisper, "Hide it in the boxes?" "I'll give it... him... a cootie injection." "You can do that?" "Of course!" "...well, maybe you can let him come out then." Aurora decided, sounding as if he was sacrificing herself to death. "I think I will. Should I put this on the wall to show everyone?" Neith gestured to the picture, and grinned when Aurora happily nodded. "All right, we'll put it right here behind the desk." "Okay! I'm going back upstairs to watch the movie!" Aurora ran off again, leaving Neith shaking her head. Ghosts. Lovely.

Another dream.
The land, as it always was, was lush and green beside the river, and beyond, the golden waves of sand shimmered under the sun. It sent a sense of peace into the observer, especially Kia.
Kia was there, as she usually was. It was strange, all her dreams started out like this now. Peacefully, without pain or worry. They might have drifted to something else, or somewhere else from that point, or Kia may have continued to sleep and dream in this place.
But this time, Kia felt odd. Warm, but not uncomfortably so. She was sprawled lazily across the dry grass on her stomach, the two wings on her back gently fanning her heated skin.
A little girl stumbled out of the bushes all of a sudden, looking unsure about where or what she was. She was familiar too, blonde curls, a mark under her eye, three purple dots and gold eyes. Aurora. Aurora stared around for a few seconds, then tried to get Kia's attention by waving frantically and yelling something that got lost as soon as it left her mouth.
But Kia didn't see her, or hear the words. She hummed happily, knotting long lengths of grass and flowers together to make a little crown.
Aurora frowned sadly, and flopped onto the grass next to Kia. It was always like this, Kia never saw her. She hated falling into dreams, no one ever knew she was there! And she knew that if she did something wrong, she'd fall into a different person's dreams. It wasn't as scary as it used to be, she knew she'd wake up again. She went to watching Kia again.
Kia stood up, almost naked in her clothing and started to dance around in circles. There were no apparent reasons, but as she danced and lifted her feet, a little fire would flame for a few seconds in the spot she'd stepped. It became obvious why there was so little clothes.. when she stopped, the flames flared up her legs. The skirt was high enough to not catch on fire, and Kia's legs weren't burnt.
As Aurora watched, Kia went back to dancing again. This time, her wings lifted her off the ground for short bursts, flames licking over her wings and body and trailing behind her in the air. It was a beautiful sight, Aurora thought as she watched.
Kia was aware of it being a dream, but she was so blissfully happy, that she didn't care. She was being watched as well, she knew, she could see a familiar bird sitting on a branch nearby watching her. Horus sometimes did come to watch the Bennu girl dance for the sun.
Her body started to change as the sun set across the Nile, Kia's body growing small and feathered. She rested herself back down on the grass as a grey heron with two erect feathers on her head, her wings tucked tightly at her sides. The flames around her flickered for a few more seconds, before vanishing. Horus flew off, and Kia was alone in the little grassy field while the darkness spread across the land.
She dozed there then, kneeling on the grass in the bird form.
Aurora didn't though. She wrapped her arms around herself, cold in the night. She couldn't believe that her Mommy was a bird!
And then she heard rustling, that Kia didn't. Aurora froze in fright, as odd shaped beings approached Kia. One looked straight at her, but he passed her by as if she was nothing important.
Aurora watched the following scene then in horror.
They picked up the dozing bird, causing it to squawk in horror, flapping the wings in vain. Flame spread across the bird, but the beings weren't hurt. They just glanced at each other, talking in a strange language as one of them tugged out a long sharp knife. They were telling the bird something, Kia. Aurora couldn't understand a word of it, but it sounded like the same language as Kia used with her cog.
The landscape around them shifted under Aurora's feet, the bushes vanished, and they found themselves in a stone temple.
And then, one of the beings stretched out one wing and started to saw the knife roughly at the ends where it met the back. As he sawed, he tugged on the wing hard, trying to rip it off.
Kia/bird cried out in pain, the haunting squawks that sounded almost human echoing around the near empty temple courtyard. And as quick as it started, one wing was being thrown carelessly aside.
The body of the bird stopped flaming, and shifted straight back to Kia's normal body again. Ignoring it, they just moved onto the other much larger wing.
Aurora shut her eyes and started to cry as the knife was raised, and curled up in a ball with her hands over her ears, trying to block out Kia's screams.
And then it was over, and all that Aurora could make out were Kia's sobs. She opened one eye as well, to see Kia on the stone floor with two large wounds on her back, curled up in a fetal position and the red pooling around her.
Both Kia and Aurora woke up then.
Aurora stared around the quiet room, sat up and then burst into tears, clutching to her legs. She didn't want to fall into dreams anymore!

Emme and Ray had taken a stroll to the marketplace, but had decided to take a different route home so they could stop by Kia and Aurora's house. It was quite a walk, pretty far out of their way, especially since Kia's house was on such a secluded part of the land.
Ray delighted in playing in the grass as they strolled slowly along the long diveway... only to discover that neither Kia nor Aurora were home!
So Emme and Ray decided to leave the packages they'd brought at the doorstep.
 
Attatched is a note:
Quote: Dearest Aurora, Little Ray found this Bonzai plant at a shop we visited, and insisted that it was for you. He said the little blue flowers remided him of you. Well, at least thats the best I could interpret his signs. He was very excited. The lady at the shop was also nice enough to give us this special bottle of plant food to help it grow strong. Ray also painted this portrait of you, and couldn't wait untill you came to the shop to give it to you. So we made a special trip to deliver it. We hope you enjoy the gifts, and sorry we missed you!
