Personal history

Aurelia was raised by a hag named Belladonna Marwood. Aurelia grew up under tight supervision and was allowed very little agency. While her "mother" showed her love, it was very conditional and could be snatched away if she felt Aurelia was being disobediant. Since she was young, Aurelia was taught dark magic and expected to use her natural charm to lure people her "mother" deemed undeserving of their beauty or fortune, so she could destroy. As Aurelia grew older she started to question her "mother" more, especially how she claimed she found Aurelia abandoned in the woods. At 19 years old, she had the courage to search her "mother's" belongings and found a necklace that belonged to her birth family. She ran away, and for the past 5 years, has been earning money as a travelling bard. She constantly stays on the move to look for clues about her lost family and run from the lurking threat of Belladonna finding her.

Education

She was taught how to use magic by the hag that raised her. She learned how to disguise herself, create illusions and find and exploit the weaknesses of everyone around her. She was also taught several languages. She has no formal education and what she knows is heavily influenced by her "mother".

Employment

Aurelia worked as a travelling musician, playing her flute to earn money. She also charged small fees to heal minor wounds.

Mental Trauma

Aurelia is deadly afraid of becoming as manipulative and cruel as Belladonna was. She does not know what it means to be good due to the warped sense of morality that her "mother" taught her. She hates using manipulation and dark magic, but often doesn't know how to resolve conflicts without them. She is also scared of forming connections with others, as she is distrustful of their motives due to being lied to for her whole childhood. She found it so hard to break away from the toxic bond she had with the hag, that she is worried she will love another as fiercley and be led down an even darker path.

Intellectual Characteristics

Aurelia does not have a large knowledge of academic studies and is often not very wise when it comes to decisions, common sense or society due to being isolated from the world. She does have incredibley high emotional intelligence, which can make her very persausive, understanding and deceptive.

Morality & Philosophy

Aurelia wants to be a good person, but is struggling with unlearning the lessons of the hag. If she has time to think before a decision, she will weigh her choices and try to make a choice that fits the good moral compass she is trying to develop. If she has to make a snap decision, someone she cares for is in danger or she really wants/needs something, she will fall back on evil methods she is ashamed of. She will cut down, manipulate or mess with the minds of others. She also how numb she feels while hurting others and wants to learn more empathy, even for those she hates.
