From being an Abandoned who had rarely left the Hollowed Grounds, to embracing the call of adventure, to dying and being reborn first as an Ascended and then as an Ancient, Maea has gone through quite the amount of changes in her life. One thing remains common, though, in her attempts to find out just where she belongs; she’s always had a craving for knowledge which has brought her to so many places and to meet so many people here in Caido. We can’t wait to see what else is in store for her!
Congratulations, Maea!

Aurelia
code credits go to Skylark!<3
Caido, Year 311
Longheat
Aurelia arrived, pissed off and confused, through a portal in Torchline on the Kaiholo docks. She was not the most friendly to Jack Barclay, who wasn't exactly charmed... Nonetheless, he answered some of her questions about The Voice and the world of Caido - and what happened to her. Jack offered her a place to stay in exchange for working on the ship. Aurelia agreed to his terms, reminding him it was only temporary. The End of a Life
Aurelia kept her word and helped Jack's crew fix up the Ark in the thread, {PQ} one more for good luck. She helped Zephyr repair some minor damage and she also defended Melita from a few angry cloud wyrms in the crow's nest, simultaneously getting rid of that problem as well. She was {technically} there when they attempted to leave the port, only to be stopped by ghost whales crashing into the ship (though due to her low level, she didn't participate in the IC thread).
A few days after her arrival, she was told to talk to the governor about her concerns with Caido and potentially getting back home. She sought out the counsel of Sunjata in Lost Girl, who invited her into his office. He helped to clarify many things for her, including the fact that a copy of her still existed in her old world - although she found that more frustrating than comforting. She found out more about the races and Old Gods in Caido. She also found out that she would likely never get home.
While wandering across the beach, Aurelia ran into a priest named Gideon in See in the World what you Carry in your Heart. Gideon informed her that he was searching for a shrine. Clueless to the religious strife in Caido, she helped him find it and he revealed to her that he was against the Ascended and the Voice, intending to destroy their shrine. She didn't know how to feel about it but, she did understand Gideon's perspective - and she certainly shared his disdain for the goddess. They both agreed to not tell anyone about their meeting, and she agreed to try to speak to the Old Gods.
Leafchange
Starting the season off right, Aurelia sparred with Sunjata in {Training} Don't Mind. Afterwards, they had a few drinks and traded stories, gaining insight and more officially becoming friends.
In {SE} bonfire cries and fireflies, Aurelia joined the Ark's crew for their bonfire, more officially meeting the smuggler, Milo, and Jack's new companion, Seven - a talking cat. Although the conversation became strained when Aurelia revealed her take on the Festival of Lights (and unintentionally offended Melita), she got Saiden's help in crafting her own lantern. She made a paper lantern in the shape of a shield, with her father's insignia cut into all sides. It was then that she realized it was in the shape of a flame, which made her think twice about her father's death being "accidental" - but she remained silent about that as the night went on.
The crew eventually left, leaving her and Milo to get to know each other in Empty Bottle. They decide to try a relationship.
Aurelia, now coming to terms with her situation, takes an opportunity in flick of the wrist to tell Jack the truth about her past - and to ask him for a more permanent place in the business he runs. Jack agreed to keep her past between them as long as she helped him with what he asked, indicating he may need to put her skills to use at some point. Aurelia, begrudgingly, agreed. He also gave her a manta jewel, which she would later craft into a tooled leather collar.
Aurelia took the cloud mantas her and Jack caught to Saiden in Haulani, to offer help cooking them in the hopes of getting to know one of her fellow crew better.
{SE} Can't Do It Alone Aurelia chased after the ghost of her sister, getting lost in Rae's Fingers. Melita, witnessing this, went in after her. Aurelia revealed some parts of her past to Melita (but still refrains from the whole truth) and she learned some things about Melita in turn. She also got a negative account of one of Melita's experiences with Ludo.
In {SE} Carving Spirits from the Trees, Gideon found Aurelia on the coast and they talked about the Gods as they made their dolls. Getting a little tipsy herself, Aurelia asked him to preach to her about Ludo, to which he gave her a positive account. However, later on in the night, Aurelia takes a stand against his position against the Ascended... dun dun DUN.
{Training} break your own bonesMelita taught Aurelia how to use a bow and showed her one of her magical items, the quiver. Aurelia agreed to later teach Melita how to use throwing knives.
{DROP} lock and key Aurelia participated in the MP Drop, but didn't make it all the way through.
Aurelia sought out the help of Nate in standing in the way of control, where she revealed to him that she believed she was cursed before coming to Caido. He confirmed this suspicion and also revealed to her that she's an Abandoned, much to her disdain.
Returning to the Slagveld in the hopes of sparring, Aurelia was pleasantly surprised when Ray showed up in life sucks, let's dance.
Aurelia, since the Ark wasn't intended to leave anytime soon, departed on a brief trip to the Hollowed Grounds, to seek out some items she needed. It was while she was there that the distant storms stopped. After hearing about it, Aurelia ventured out into the Wilds alone in {OPEN} breach your rippling pool. Making it as far as the Boondocks, Aurelia ran into Mildew, the Swamp Witch.
{SWE} Festival of Lights 311 PC Aurelia attended the Festival of Lights with Melita, hanging up her lantern and bearing witness to all of the new ascended (returned from the dead).
{SE} Lighten Up, Buttercup - Aurelia forces Jack to help her make baubles for the Firling in an attempt to make friends.
Milo and Aurelia exchange gifts in {SE} Felt Like, where she gives him a seaglass paracord bracelet and he gives her bladed tonfas. Aurelia, projecting and feeling guilty, instigates an argument which leads to her admitting her past to Milo. It get very emotional T-T
Jack embarks the Ark on {KQ} a sky full of stars, and by default Aurelia tags along. Things don't go very well! At all! The starwhale dies in spite of the crew's best efforts. Aurelia feels very jaded about it.
