[b]Name:[/b] Aurora 

[b]Personality:[/b] She is naturally charming and demure, but has had to be extremely manipulative in order to survive. Though her youth is behind her, she has a very naive look about her that puts people at ease. She behaves extremely callously and puts on a tough exterior but this mask often slips to reveal a more vulnerable side. She is ambitious, very perceptive and extremely aware of everything that is going on around her. She is a shrewd and almost cutthroat businesswoman who sometimes sees people not as flesh and blood, but as objects that either have value to her or are useless. She believes very much that the ends justify the means and will do anything maintain her reputation and her clientele. Though she suppresses many of her emotions, often times she cannot control herself entirely and her sporadic breakdowns are notorious. She is a highly logical person but cannot separate people from profit, often causing her to misinterpret emotionally driven situations. She is a high class Madame in New Arcadia and therefore deals not only in pleasure but in secrets. She can handle herself among many different types of people and is comfortable in a variety of environments. She is skilled with poisons but she has neither strength nor stamina and relies on her wit and her connections to protect her.

[b]Skills/Traits:[/b] She is highly manipulative and adaptive which causes many people to believe they can trust her easily. She is also very skilled in poisons, in particular her sleeping draughts. Also, her business savvy enables her to maintain back door drug deals and she has a large amount of monetary resources. She is very inventive and persistent and when she sets her mind on a goal, nothing stands in her way. She has established a reputation among numerous strata of New Arcadian personage and has the connections and communication skills to easily access any information she may need. Her girls are a force to be reckoned with in and of themselves and are very loyal to her because she invests time and money on educating them and giving them the skills to rise in the world. These skills also come in handy when they are needed for information gathering as they can go a variety of places disguised and undetected. She is relatively new to the criminal underworld and though she understands its merciless nature, she is still very inexperienced and not quite ruthless enough to stand her own ground. She is hasty to the point of sloppiness and she is often unsure of herself, leaving her vulnerable if put under a lot of pressure.

[b]History:[/b] She has likely lived in the city since childhood but she has only rose in prominence in the New Arcadian underworld in the past two years. Her childhood was not rough, actually rather charmed. She had the opportunity to receive a good education and for the most part, excelled in school. However, her upbringing was not enough to keep her surroundings from impacting her and she got hooked on a hypodermically injected drug called Dreamwalker, something many speculate she formulated herself after toying with the recipe of a common street drug. It caused one to fall into a catatonic state, appearing to be in a deep sleep while mentally they experience vivid hallucinations. She eventually ran away from home and became a call girl, in order to buy the ingredients she needed to cook Dreamwalker. She forced herself to become clean when she was awoke out of one of her hallucinations to find a man trying to take her to the hospital. They became romantically involved and though he was willing to endure her attempts at rehab, he left her after finding out that she was not only drug addled, but a prostitute. 

This experience was a shock to her system and she "rose from the ashes" as they say. She focused her efforts on becoming both a better dealer and a better courtesan, intrigued by the opportunities they could give her and having nowhere else to turn. She became extremely merciless, using very questionable methods to eliminate her competition and rise to the top, revealing a cruelty that she would never grow out of. She eventually established herself as one of the most reputable Madams in New Arcadia and she has created a home base in the Briar Bath House. Her chemical knowledge served her during her rise and continues to help her maintain her reputation. Many patrons do not realize that their beverages are often spiked with substances that make their minds a bit weaker and their patronage a bit more generous. She has established a reputation amongst some elite clients for these poisons as well and much of the money she brings in is from their sale. She also deals Dreamwalker, and it is becoming a notorious and sought after substance as she continually improves its recipe.

Given her unique position, she has not chosen a side in the conflict. She prefers to stand back and observe, profiting from the conflict and desperation of those around her. But, when some of her girls begin to disappear - and then reappear dead, she can't remain "neutral" for much longer. Her primary goal is to search out who is targeting her and to put an end to it but that may be easier said than done. The more investigating that is done, the more she realizes how complex and twisted the criminal underworld has become - and how inexperienced and unprepared she is to deal with it.

[b]Other:[/b] It is not totally clear at the moment how her magic manifests itself but she does have the potential for it. Her dreams during her natural sleep are extremely lucid and the actions she takes during them sometimes affect the material world. For example, if she dreams of herself putting flowers into a vase, when she awakes, they will have materialized as they were in her dream. This is something she is aware of, but she has not explored the full extent of it.
