Aeterna has tan skin and blonde hair. She has bright green eyes that have a cold, piercing gaze. She can be seen as unapproachable just by this alone. She has the typical Miqo'te markings, and a rather fluffy tail. She's a little on the short side (four feet, to be exact), and her body is petite. There are an assortment of scars across her back, chest, and thighs. She tries to keep these out of view typically, very reluctant to strip down to anything that doesn't cover her. If one were to manage to get her into attire like this, they would notice that the scars are quite old despite her age. They would also notice that even now, it was obvious that they were deep incisions, and are likely to have been life threatening at the time.

Weaponry: Aeterna is quite skilled with a sword. She's taken up gladiator training years ago, but unlike most gladiators, she discarded the shield and took the time to learn how to dual wield properly. Unless in a fight where she has to show this, she will not show that she knows this, preferring to keep it hidden and use it as a secret weapon against someone rather than go all in at once. She keeps a larger sheathe on her, that looks intended for one large sword, and keeps two swords in it for emergencies.
Speed: Due to being a petite person, she is very fast. She can make strikes before people realize it if they let their guard down for even a moment. She can keep someone on their toes and wear them out if given the upper edge quite easily, and is a hard to take on opponent due to this. From extensive training, she can also dodge quite easily, though someone who is skilled can manage to pin her and catch her off guard if they time attacks right.
Intellect: Craziness aside, she's a smart person. She learns to adapt to situations and try to make them to her favor, even if it might seem impossible at the time. She often will manage to turn something around, even if it might look like she's going to lose. Due to her attentiveness, every place she might end up fighting in, more often than not, is used to her advantage because she finds something she can use. She isn't dumb enough to charge an opponent, unless severely provoked by something that might make her panic.

Backing off. Aeterna is always raring to go in confrontation, and finds backing down to be a coward's way out. Due to this, she can find herself in some unwanted situations, but will refuse to let it go because she got herself into it. She seems to get injured almost every other week due to her bold nature, but it doesn't faze her. Even when she seems to know that she's likely to lose a situation, she will never admit to it, and always act as if she has the upper hand. Her bluffs are pretty easy to call, and it's it's even easier to zone her out, if she ever gets in this state.
Strength. Due to being a petite female, she doesn't pack much strength. Her stamina might be good for zoning out enemies, but it's easy to overpower her the moment someone gets the upper hand. She has overestimated her abilities in the past and resulted in pretty heavy injury because she failed to realize how much stronger the opponent was. She's attempted to learn from this, and does try to tread more lightly, but she still has moments where if the person paid enough attention, they could get the upper hand on her.

Family
Arya Mhily'n is Aeterna's mother. She was the girl's life support for the longest time; they didn't quite have a bond the way most mothers and daughters do, but she admired the woman for her strength. W Aeterna had ran off to try and pursue her own goals, the two distanced. While she holds no grudges against her mother, she is rather upset that the two had different views on most things in life. She had wished they had more of a mother daughter bond than what they had, though she has her love for her mother either way.
Velcryn Staroux is Aeterna's father. Not much is known about him - even for her. He was often working and too busy to keep up with family, though he loved them dearly. They were his drive to continue working. Due to his sheer commitment to giving them a happy life, Aeterna still has respect for him. He tried to make the family's life as painless as possible, and she appreciated it, even if it meant he didn't spend much time with her. Due to him being gone most of the time, she treasured every moment with him. She especially was fond of her father due to him supporting her goals in life. Having his acceptance made it easier to fulfill the dreams she wanted to, rather than hold back.
