Appearance & Personality

As an Auri female, Aelia is short - not so short as some of her race, but enough to stand out in a crowd, if the horns and tail weren't enough. Standing at between 5'4" and 5'6", she may be mistaken for a child by some, but paying closer attention to her facial features one might be able to make out a few lingering signs of age: the occasional wrinkle, skin tight in some places around the scalp. Her skin is a tanned brown, natural from birth, and her hair a deep amber colour, cut into a messy bob that hangs over her forehead. Aelia's eyes are steel gray, and deep blemishes of black circles under her eyes are the result of her genetics, though many around her believe that it is from exhaustion.

Being an Auri woman, Aelia shows the scales and horns that are distinctive of her race, and they are a soft cream in colour, the horns curled and pointed towards her mouth. A short and sharp-looking tail protrudes from her rear, and like other Au Ra, it is capable of moving both consciously and unconsciously.

Aelia is usually, if not always, seen wearing the traditional Garlean Soldier uniform. Although her rank grants her allowance of the more elaborate and imposing suit of armour, Aelia spends more time polishing it than actually wearing it, preferring to keep it locked away from more ceremonious occasions.

Living up to her name, Aelia Quo Flammeus has a fiery temper and a short fuse, earning her the name of Aelia Flameheart by those not native to the empire. Stubborn and ruthless, she punishes any who disappoint her - and due to her high standards, this is more often than not everyone who crosses her. Very early on upon meeting her, most Garlean soldiers have learnt that her appearance is nothing to be mocked, as the Auri woman packs a punch, and even her superiors are aware of the rage she unleashes upon her subordinates. Due to this, being assigned to the same Castrum as Aelia has become something of a punishment for new soldiers, or for soldiers who have failed their duties in some way.

Loyalty is Aelia's strongest quality, and while she is renowned for dealing merciless punishment for failure, she rewards those who exceed in their duties almost as fervently. As a result of this, she knows who to rely on for certain jobs, and trusts them explicitly (until they fail and are replaced with someone else). Indeed, any who are able to impress the Auri woman tend to be firm loyalists of the Empire, and many become enthralled by Aelia's commitment to Garlemald, willing to lay down their lives if it means carrying out her orders.

Combat

Trained from a young age by the Empire, Aelia employs a mix of traditional gladiatorial arts with Garlean style. Normally seen wielding a Garlean standard issue sword and shield, there is nothing exceptional or noteworthy about her equipment, other than it being of a quality far beyond any weaponsmith outside of Garlemald. Her armour is strong and lightweight, with the fiber able to block a surprising amount of damage, and resistant to tear and piercing strikes.
