Arna was the daughter of a succesful politician and a Sorceress. Her early life was the sort of fantastical childhood that most only imagined. Her family was well off, her parents were happy, and she was decent with magic. Of course, happiness never lasts forever, does it?

After Arna's 12th birthday, her father had begun to seem contsantly tired, irratable, and unhappy. She thought it was her fault for a while, but when she found out the truth, it was much, much worse. She overheard her parents talking one night.

"I just don't think I can keep this up. Emily, I'm sorry to do this to you and Arna. Goodbye." Her father had gotten sick of his job, had quit months prior, and didn't want to stay around his family as a waste of space. Instead, he left them for dead, with large debts that they had previously not know about.

Arna's mother worked in sorcery politics, her exact position being a mystery to Arna. Even though she earned a decent living with this job, they struggled with paying off debts left by her father. Someone as worthless as her father deserved to die. Arna's mother was forced to work a second job to help cut down the debt. Their life went from luxurious and tranquil, to living modestly.

After Arna turned 15, she started job hunting. She wanted to take a load off of the shoulders of her overworked mother. She found herself losing sleep, all of her time split between working after school until late, and attempting to have good grades. She felt that the only way to fix everything was through maximum effort and hard work. She, of course, felt like giving up at times, giving herself a break, but she knew that if she did, she would never succeed. Failure was not an option for Arna.

By the age of 20, her hard work had payed off. She and her mother had cleared the debt, finally. Her mother moved to New york, to be near some relatives, while Arna stayed in London. She had eventually found herself working at NelTech, as the secretary to the head of the company, Valus Nel, who had also happened to be a sorcerer. She enjoyed the position, putting the same amount of effort into her work as she had for years.

She stayed in that position for 2 years, working with Valus on company affairs, as well as events involving sorcery politics. She was asked to work with Valus Nel's son, Aurus, as his assistant. She was informed that Aurus would be traveling to each branch of NelTech, inspecting the productivity of each branch, as well as helping to imrpove Valus' political standing in the world of sorcery. She was rather excited, being able to travel the world and live well sounded pretty nice. She quickly took the offer.

Of course, Aurus turned out to be her least favorite kind of person. Aurus was someone who got where he was through sheer luck, obviously. He had no determination, and seemed whiny and lazy all of the time. They didn't really like each other, and that really didn't matter. Their relationship was strictly professional. Arna set up meetings, and Aurus went to them. Aurus filled out paperwork, and Arna filed it. Arna obviously had the easier job. She kind of felt bad for Aurus at times. He seemed like a lost dog looking for somewhere to go so often.

Of course, Aurus still exemplified everything that wen't against Arna' s principles, and he was somehow succesful. The last year or so of working with Aurus has exhausted Arna, but she still found it enjoyable, somehow. All she wants to do is move forward, and work towards the future, maybe find herself a nice guy, someone who actually had a work ethic, unlike Aurus or her father. Honestly, she wasn't exactly sure what she wanted out of the future, all she knew was that she wanted to see what was in store for her.

Now, Aurus and Arna have convinced the company to allow the both of them to go on vacation to New York City for a week. Arna left her companion at his hotel, deciding to stay with her mother for the week, since she lives in New York.
