3) Characteristics

⦁ Background:

⦁ She was born in Vacuo and lived with her mother, along with her two younger siblings. They all lived quite happily, if poorly. Her father had been killed by Grimm a few weeks after her youngest sibling was born, so her mother had raised the three of them on her own. Her mother had to work two jobs to keep a roof of their heads, but that never bothered Aelius or her siblings. They made do with what they had and lived very peacefully. Her mother wanted to send them all to school, although she didn't have the necessary funds to do so. However, she did have connections to various kinds of people through her work, so she was able to get her hands on some fake transcripts for Aelius to get into Shade Academy.

⦁ Aelius didn't want to at first, thinking it was a horrible way to gain entrance into a school, but her mother wouldn't have it. So, she was sent straight to Shade Academy, which then almost immediately sent her into the entrance test. Thankfully for her, she was at least half-decent compared to the other students, and was able to find herself a partner, Sienna Giada. At first, Sienna didn't want to be partnered with her, finding Aelius to be very lackluster, but they were still able to pass the test and be placed on a team with two other girls, Patina Phlox and Laural Dunstan. The four of them, while they didn't get along at first, came to grow on each other, seeing no reason to fight each other if they were to be together for four years.

⦁ Over the course of those four years, they all grew to be incredibly close, even after Aelius told them how exactly she got to Shade Academy. They all proclaimed it didn't matter, as she had more than shown herself worthy as the leader of their team. The rest of their time passed quickly, full of learning and growth as people and huntresses, until the last few months before graduation came upon them. They had been sent out on a Grimm extermination mission at a desolate village quite a ways from the Academy. The Grimm had gathered into a very large group and were making it dangerous for travelers to pass through, so Aelius' team was sent out to get rid of them.

⦁ At first, things were going very smoothly. They were all doing well, getting rid of quite a few of the Grimm, until night hit. Unable to see in the dark, they had to camp out in one of the abandoned buildings, taking turns for watch. Patina and Sienna were keeping watch when a large drove of Grimm attacked them. Patina went out to drive them off while Sienna woke up Aelius and Laurel. Aelius had Laurel and Sienna keep watch over their safe spot, going off to help Patina herself. A few roads down, Aelius found her gravely wounded, a large slash diagonally along her torso. Patina spoke to her, encouraging Aelius to leave her and go back to the others, which inadvertently activated Aelius' Semblance.

⦁ Instead of doing as Patina said, Aelius used her now-activated Semblance to fuel her as she attacked the nearby Grimm in rage. She used Patina's sabres, instead of Hail Mary or Silencer, and hacked away at a large chunk of the Grimm, although she was completely disregarding her own fatigue and wounds. After calming down, she turned to take Patina back to the others, realizing that she needed medical attention right away, when she was attacked from behind from a Grimm she hadn't noticed before. A Death Stalker had come out of the nearby forest after all of the influx of negative emotions coming from Aelius. Because she was unable to battle anymore after her outburst, she couldn't protect herself from being swekered by the Death Stalker, as it's tail ripped through her chest cavity, tearing apart her lungs and heart. She died almost immediately, suffering for only a few short seconds.

4) Trivia:

⦁ Notes:

⦁ Despite using fake transcripts, she was already at a level equal to that of someone that had gone through actual training. While she wasn't the most adept or knowledgeable about many things in the world of Hunting, she was able to prove herself through her ingenuity, able to think on her feet and change up her attack strategies on the spot.

⦁ She only spoke to her family through letters, but was hoping to go and visit them after graduation. She had hoped that, upon becoming a Huntress, she would be able to help her family out with the money situation.

I hope she isn't too out there or comes off as overly tragic, because I really like how she turned out! Thank you for any and all input!

Also, Spirit, if/whenever you read this, I hope the history of this team lived up to your expectations.
