PERSONALITY:

Aurora has always been a compassionate soul. Any time someone had been in need she was there to offer a helping hand. Whether it was one of her four older siblings, or a housemaid with the chores, or simply needing a shoulder to cry on, she's always looking out for someone who could use it. She also is a girl who knows her mind. Aurora doesn't stumble on decisions that must be made and will make them in a way that would be best for everyone. She knows exactly what's expected of her and to do that properly it means she can't waste time on being indecisive. That being said she's also quite imaginative and often comes up with creative solutions to problems that no one would orginially think of. It's not uncommon to find Fleur going over plans and new ways to help her friend finish her chores both effectively but also making them more fun and less of a chore. 

She's also quite open minded. She loves to see new things, meet new people and get an idea of what they are before judging them. Everyone has their reasons, so what's it to her to try and judge them before knowing them? Not everything has to be black and white or this or that, sometimes one just needs to take a step back and look from another angle. Aurora has always been one for adventures. She loved traveling to new places, learning new things, exploring the unexplored. Sure it's not exactly proper behavior for a girl of her standing, but she's always been envious of her brothers getting to leave while she had to stay at home, her only adventures the ones she's read in stories. With her head so full of stories Aurora had been known to be an absentminded one. If it wasn't for the fact that she's had the same schedule for years than she probably wouldn't make it to her classes on time. She's often seen staring off into space, her mind completely elsewhere. 

Aurora has always been a determined child, once her mind is set on something she will do everything in her power to get it done. Granted a lot of the time its not on things that others would deem important, but to her it sure is. So what if she's already finished this book once? She has a clear goal of finishing it at least two more times. Growing up as the youngest of four children Aurora is a quiet person. She does a lot to not have a lot of attention drawn to herself and sits on the sidelines while her more boistorious siblings take the lead. She would much rather be sitting in the garden with a new book in hand, having the peace to read at her own pace. When spoken to it's a lot of polite questions and small responses. People would often describe Aurora as soft. Both because of her small stature and mild personality and that she's easily to be molded into what she should be as a princess. 

Aurora has been described by many as being rather bland. On the outside when she is with people she's the cookie cutter print out of what a princess should be, so it's fair that some call her somewhat boring. She doesn't step outside the lines, in fear of embarrassing or upsetting her family and just continues the same way she always had been. She's also always been delicate. She's been sickly from birth and it just followed her around. If there was a bug going around Aurora would be the first to get it. She's not the strongest person around although she does try her best it tends to end in injury. Aurora is an escapist. If she has a rough day or if something isn't going right, she will do everything she can to escape from it. Books have always been her means of doing so, and as such she puts too much thought into them and these fantasy worlds rather than focusing on the real world that she's living in currently. Any way that she can to make her worries disappear she will, even if it means other things will suffer. 

As surprising as it may be to hear, Aurora is very insecure. Constantly being compared to her older and better sisters, it's hard not to start to believe the critics. "Why can't you be more proper like Edelie?" OR "Have you heard about Isabelle's new accomplisment" are just a few of what Aurora thinks about. She tries not to let it get to her but honestly she would be lying if she didn't. Now she'll constantly be fixing her appearance or posture, take even more lessons as a means of compensating for just how inferior she is. Because of this it's almost as if the youngest princess isn't allowed to be her own person, making her repressed. Aurora will put her own dreams and asperations away in a box just to make others around her happy even if it's at the determent of her own being. She's always stressing about if she did something wrong or if it wasn't good enough but she never lets anyone know in fear of them thinking she wouldn't be able to handle it. 

BACKGROUND: 

Aurorette Bellefuille was born into the royal Bellefuille family in the beautiful coastal country of Miyuseille. However unlike her four older siblings, her birth was a difficult one. She was born prematurely and was very ill. There were worries about whether the tiny baby would even make it through the night, but thankfully she did. Her young life was filled with constant doctor visits, poking and proding, and under the most strict supervison. Unfortunately even after Aurora would recover and be for the most part a healthy young lady she would still be plagued with no space to be her own person. 

Even her younger years Aurora suffered from being sick a lot of the time. She caught colds easily and often had to watch on the sidelines as she watched her older brothers and sisters get to go outside and play around. Of course her parents tried their best to make Aurora not feel left out and visted her often, it was just they were concerned about their youngest possibly getting hurt all the time that it was just safer to keep her within a safe distance of one of them. The best parts that she can remember were when her oldest brother Phillipe would come into her room, grin on his face and a book in his hands. They would sit out on the balcony and he would read her fantastical stories of farway lands and mystical creatures. Grand adventures of the most cunning of pirates on the hunt for elsuive treasure long lost of times so long ago. That's where Aurora's fascination and dreams of adventure came from.

As she grew older and her constitution got better, though she still got tired much quicker than anyone else her age, Aurora soon learned that everyone would continue to see her as the poor sickly child. By the age of eight her mother had deemed that she was old enough to start her princess lessons, something she was grateful for. Aurora had always hated that she couldn't follow after her siblings, and had to be mostly separated from everyone in the castle for her own health. It was a new world being able to explore, though much to her dismay there wasn't much exploring. She was constantly followed around with maids asking her of her condition and then being exasperated when they wouldn't listen to her and she had to try and explain that no she didn't need to sit down and that they didn't have to run off and get her anything. A simple sneeze as the seasons changed would have her immediately seated in front of the royal doctor just for him to say the same thing she's been saying all along that she was fine. The constant attention was stifling and, though she was grateful for all the care, Aurora would be lying if she said it wasn't annoying. 

As she turned twelve for the most part Aurora had learned to live with this is how her life would be. No one ever wanted to listen to her and although she was given endless amounts of attention it felt like she was in a sea of lonliness and was all alone. She didn't have any friends and the only time she had a moment to truly be herself was when she gives her handmaids the slip and run to her favorite hidden spot in the library. There she isn't Aurorette Bellefueille the youngest princess of Miyuseille but Aurora the girl who dreams of adventure, sailing the high seas, meeting new and interesting people. She doesn't have to think about how her actions might affect her family but can be as free as she wants experiencing the lives of these incredible people she's never met, one page at a time. Aurora wanted nothing more than to be able to have her own adventures and not through books and old tomes. 

It was tough even for her to try and get any sympathy from her own family. Her once ally and knight Philipe had to grow up eventually as the oldest of the siblings and next in line for the throne, and Antoine following after him. Edelie and Isabell weren't much help to her either. Edelie lecturing her about her frivilous thoughts of adventure when her duties were here in the castle and it was time for Aurora to grow up with the rest of them and become a proper princess. Isabelle shared the same thoughts but she had a nicer way about saying it and offered their youngest sympathic glances and resassuring pats, that were never resassuring. Those were the darkest times for Aurora as she felt the most alone and unheared. All they saw was the sick young girl who refused to give up her dreams of adventure for the duties of her birth. She of course couldn't go to her parents either since both of them were too busy running a country to listen to their daughter. She started to act out more in rebellion, skip lessons claiming she was "sick", hiding from her maids and refusing to leave the library knowing the ins and outs making it hard to find her. 

It was one of these escape acts that Aurora would come to meet her soon to be personal handmaiden and most importantly her best friend. She had just turned the corner into a new corridor breathing heavy from her running from her servant's maids, when she had come upon a distrubing sight. There were many other maids surrounding one by the looks of it. She didn't really hear what they were saying, her eyes focused on the person who was suffering. Despite her breath still coming out heavily, a small wheeze following much to her dismay, she pushes her way through the maids and stands infront of the poor girl. Granted because of her small stature any means of trying to imitate the intimidating glare of her sister Edelie didn't pan out, but she tried. Aurora trying to steady her breathing, stared each of the maids in the eye and informed them that there will be consequences for their careless actions against a fellow human being. Once they were gone she had immediately turned to help the girl any way she could, as unhelpful as they were. She learned a lot about this girl and they soon became fast friends. Aurora had to then plead and beg until the girl would become her personal handmaid, something that would be one of the best things to ever happen to her. 

Thanks to the addition to the loyal handmaiden everything became almost managable. She didn't try to escape from her servants as much, and she listened intently to her studies, much to the pleasure of her family, especially Edelie. Aurora on the outside made herself to be the perfect princess, but on the inside she was still struggling. She just couldn't let those hopes and dreams of seeing the outside world, living her life going from one adventure to another. Of course the only one who knew this was the loyal handmaiden who would listen and try to console the girl as much as possible. Aurora tried as hard as she could to be everything that her parents had wanted her to be, and felt that in a way she was betraying them and their expectations as she continued to struggle with her desires. Nothing she did to stop herself from thinking such thoughts bore fruitition. She threw herself into even more studies learning new things in an attempt to distract her thoughts. Though her family would say that this was the time Aurora had learned her place, she could say this was one of the hard times of her life as she felt she was constantly being split into two and didn't know which one was the real Aurorette. 

She continued this struggle all the way up to current day at eighteen. She followed the motions of the day, each one passing adding to her continued thoughts of imprisonment, with no means of escape. Aurora would then immediately feel nothing but immense guilt as she thought that. She had a great family, and lived in a magnificent castle with people who waited on her hand and foot, anyone would kill to be in her shoes. She knew that and knew she should be nothing but grateful, but she continued to feel the opposite. But she continued to shove those feelings deep into the back of her mind and would straighten her shoulders and continue to move in the same routine she's been in for years. She had convinced herself that so long as she just continued this routine things would be fine. Unfortunately for her the universe had different intentions. 

Aurora's father one evening while the family had met for dinner as they do each night, had cleared his throat gaining the attention of everyone in the room and said he had an announcement. Everynoe had immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at the king as he Gaspard waited before speaking locking eyes with Aurora who was watching her father with a curous but reserved look, that had instanstly changed to worry when their gazes met. He smiled at his youngest and said that she would be engaged to prince Abasi of Tamaza. Her heart had dropped from her check to the pit of her stomach. She didn't react and only stared at her father in shock her eyes impossibly wide while her mother had nodded and smiled. "This is great new Aurorette, you should be pleased" Each word was like someone had stabbed her. How in the world was she suppose to marry a person who she didn't know? From her studies she knew a bit about the country of Tamaza, and though she would be lying if she said she wasn't curious about the civilization this was not the way she wanted to find out about it. She said nothing though and just looked back down at her plate, no longer hungry and barely listening as the family talk had turned to the talk of an engagement party and invitations to other royalty and nobles. 

The months leading up the the engagement party Aurora was on complete autopilot. Not even her trusted friend could get her out of her head. That was it, there was nothing else that she could do. Although she tried not to, she couldn't help but to resent this Abasi person just a little. She knows it wasn't his decision and he was stuck in this situation as mcuh as she was, but the feeling was still there. The worst part was that this party would be the first time she could be even meeting her fiance, though her mother had told her that was a small price to pay, and proceeded to inform her of her own engagement to her father and that Hisako hadn't known what kind of person Gaspard was but that it turned out for the best and she recieved five beautiful children out of it. "You'll learn to be happy" was a sentence that replayed in her mind over and over again like a broken record. 

The party was for the most part uneventful, like any other party except more people were coming up and offering their congradulations, which was ironic since Aurora had felt the complete opposite. Between having to keep up appearances and socializing, as it was her party, she didn't even really have a chance to sit down and talk to her soon to be husband. She had tried of course, but as it turned out he was a rigid guy who didn't talk much only offering small one word responses or just nods and grunts. After a certian point Aurora had just simply had enough. She was feeling like she was going to be sick and had to excuse herself, immediately understanding her mother had let her leave though not without saying she would be having the doctor come and visit her first thing in the morning. 

When she was finally in the safety of her own room, with no one, not even her loyal friend who she had asked previously to leave her be, Aurora had immediately discarded the itchy gown, kicked off the uncomfortable shoes, and let her hair fall down to her mid back could she breathe again. Sitting out on the balcony she leaned her head up to the sky, pulling her robe tightly around her as the breeze picked up and closed her eyes, the sounds of the party echoing across the empty courtyard. She didn't know how long she was out there, nor had she realized she had fallen asleep, something Edelie and Isabelle will chastise her for doing so. Aurora sat up and stretched unknowing that she was no longer alone on the balcony. She tried to let out a scream as a cold hand reached out and coverd another one going around her body to prevent her escape. If only her captor had known that there was no reason as she wasn't strong enough to do so to begin with.

A rough voice spoke behind her. "Its better if you don't struggle" Aurora blinked as she tried to assess what was happening. Then it clicked. She was being kidnapped. A few thoughts passed through her mind before settling on the strongest one. 'This is your chance, if you don't take it now you'll regret it forever.' She turned to look at her captor before motioning for him to remove his hand. He did so though his face had said it all. 'If you scream you're done for.' She shook her head and moved. "Let me at least get my shoes. I'll go with you."

RELATIONSHIPS: 

✩ Father - Gaspard Bellefeuille (55) / King of Miyuseille / Strongwilled, Abrasive, Dedicated, Narrowminded / 4/10 (face: michael fassbender)
Aurora isn't super close to her father, it doesn't help that he's always busy running a country and all, but when they do get together the conversation is always the same. "how are your lessons going? Are you listening to your sisters? This could use some improvement." She knows he doesn't mean it to come across as harsh as it is but it doesn't stop her from taking it personally sometimes. 


✩ Mother - Hisako Bellefeuille (50) / Queen of Miyuseille / Kind, Quiet, Shy, Reserved / 7/10 (face: Yukie Nakama)
Aurora is defintely closer with her mother Hisako than her father. Hisako has a harder time letting Aurora go and do things like the rest of her siblings becasue all she remembers is her sick baby. She's the leading charge behind keeping Aurora inside and away from "danger" almost to the point that it's suffocating. She deals with it though since she knows her mother only means well. 

✩ Older Brother - Phillipe Bellefeuille (28) / Prince of Miyuseille / Vibrant, Playful, Clumsy, Impatient / 10/10 (face: Jun Matsumoto)
Despite age difference Aurora is closest with Phillipe. He was the one who always came to see her when she was sick, and would sit there and play with her when she felt lonely. As they grew up he had to stop but he always shows his love for his youngest sister by bringing her little trinkets when he travels out of Miyuseille, and though he wouldn't say it to his father directly he's definitely opposed to his baby sister being married off. Phillipe is the one who goes into protective older brother mode when Aurora is involved. 


✩ Older Sister - Édelie Bellefeuille (26) / Princess of Miyuseille / Regal, Principled, Cold, Strict  / 4/10 (face: Mirei Kiritani)
The complete opposite of their fun and vibrant oldest brother, Édelie is every bit of her namesake. She's the biggest stickler for the rules and how a member of the royal family should behave. Though she loves her oldest sister dearly, Aurora would be lying if she doesn't get a shiver down her spine every time her name is mentioned. A princess should do this, a princess should do that, absolutely not, are some of Edelie's most favored phrases and no one is safe from her calculating gaze. 


✩ Older Sister - Isabelle Bellefeuille (22) / Princess of Miyuseille / Obedient, Persuasive, Prim, Reserved / 8/10 (face: Suzu Hirose)
Isabelle is the most diplomatic of the 5 siblings, she always knows just what to say and when to hold her tongue. Aurora spends a lot of time with Isabelle, though its mostly because she's also in a lot of the same lessons as herself. Although Isabelle still has a lot of the same views as their oldest sister, she also tries to understand how the youngest of them feels. She worries about Aurora hurting herself and getting sick much like she did when she was little, so she tries to reason that right now is the best way to spend her life and that being married off to prince isn't such a bad thing.


✩ Older Brother - Antoine Bellefeuille (21) / Prince of Miyuseille / Alert, Clever, Fiery, Blunt  / 8/10 (face: Ryûnosuke Kamiki)
Of all the siblings Antoine is the most outspoken. He has a bit of a temper and has a tendency to get heated. Antoine was there for her when she was younger and would often stick up for her to Edelie when he felt she had taken things too far. Unfortunately as they got older their relationship got a little distanced. Antoine still tries to sit down with Aurora when he has a moment and gives his famous "pep talks" that really aren't super peppy but he tries and that's what matters the most. 


✩ Best Friend - Loyal Handmaiden (?) / 10/10 
Next to her family, the loyal hadmaiden is the most important person in Aurora's life. Her opinion and happiness means everything to her and she would do anything to make sure that she's happy. She tries her best not to cause too much trouble, knowing at the end of the day it wouldn't be Aurora who got in trouble but her closest friend. She definitely wouldn't had made it this far without her. 


✩ Fiance - Abasi Salah (22) / Prince of Tamaza / Stoic, Hardworking, Asocial, Cold / 1/10 (face: Sherif Fayed )
Abasi is a complete engima to Aurora, they had met only once at their engagement party and it was beyond awkward. He's a serious man with little words and to her, he seemed indifferent to the whole affair. She knows she's not supposed to judge people and it's not fair to him that she has her own preconceived notions about the affair, but it's just hard when it doesn't even seem like the man is trying to get to know her. If they're supposed to spend their lives together wouldn't it be best to try and communicate?


✩ Undina Cadralia (24) / The Young Mermaid / Sassy, Bold, Confident, Defiant
Aurora really looks up to Undina since she has a lot of qualities that she wished she had herself. Also she's a real mermaid!! It boggles and amazes Aurora that she can share the same space with a real living mermaid. She has so many questions and would love to learn more about the girl. 


✩ Terada Takuya / The Captian / Dramatic, Cunning, Charismatic, Insensitve
Aurora is low-key afraid of the captian of their ship. He just has this pressense that makes her think oh no best not mess with this guy. She does everything in her power not to upset or even mildly annoy the captian.


✩Panthea Dimitriou (18) / The lost Princess / Creative, Passionate, Reserved, Impractical
Aurora feels like Panthea could understand her the most. She wishes she could get to know the princess more. Maybe even make a new friend? Aurora would love if that happened. 


✩ Kawamura Kazuma / The First Mate / Honest, Strongwilled, stubborn, judgmental
Kazuma is another person who Aurora tries not to get on his bad side. She has nothing against him and can see just how hardworking he is but she can't help but feel a little nervous whenever his gaze falls upon her. 


✩ Anoushka Joshi (24) / The Woman of Science / Inflexible, Uptight, Dedicated, Honest
Aurora really admires how smart this woman she. She likes to ask her questions, but also tries not to be too annoying fearing to make her hate her. 


✩ Nickhun Buck Horvejkul / The Sailmaster / Confident, Bossy
Aurora actually likes Nichkun he really seems like a nice guy. Any interation that she's had with him has been a good encounter. 


✩ Euphemia Rohan (21) / The Governor's Daughter / Intelligent, Mature, Prideful, Stubborn
Theres something familar about Euphemia to Aurora, maybe its because she reminds her of her oldest sister Eledie both in personality and in aura. That being said the same feeling of intimidation is there but she really would like to get along with the older girl. 


✩ Amane Reki/ The Surgeon / Kind, Creative, Timid, Private
Knowing Reki is basically the doctor of the ship she tries to stay away from him at the beginning. She feels back about it since Reki has nothing to do with all the doctor visits and poking and prodding she's had as a baby and child. Eventually she would come to like the man more. He's just there to help, somethnig Aurora can get behind. 


✩ Zyanya of the Abantu / The Voodoo Witch / Independant, Easily Bored, Skeptic
Aurora thinks that Zyanya is just so cool, not that the others on the boat aren't, honestly they all are, but the fact that Zyanya had a mission and excuted it flawlessly is something she has only ever dreamed of. 


✩ Yoo Kihyun / The Sailmaster / Adaptable, Bright, Sensitve
She doesn't know a lot about Kihyun, but from the little interactions she would feel that he's a nice guy and gets the thumbs up from her. Not that it would matter. 


✩ Noh Aejeong / The Captian's Daughter / Charismatic, Energetic, Arrogant, Argumentative
Aurora is awestruck by Noha, she's a true female pirate captian what's not to be amazed by? She's only one year older than herself but she's managed to do so much more than what Aurora feels she's managed to do in her own life. She loves to hear the girl talk about tales and her journeys. Also Kai is adorable and Aurora loves him to pieces even if it's just from far away. 


✩ Kim Junkyu / The Crewmam / Insecure, Akward, Expressive, Playful
Aurora actually really likes Junkyu he seems like a fun guy and kind of reminds her of Phillipe. She doesn't spend a lot of time with anyone on the crew really since she's often in the kitchen with Oliver but if there was someone on the crew who she could see herself being friends with it'd be Junkyu. 


✩ The Crew/ Various
Aurora would soon come to learn that being on the ship with such a variety of people that they didn't expect her to be the prim and proper princess who said yes to everything. In fact a lot of them time some of them would be there to let her know she could say no. Being on the Nightingale would be a place where Aurora would soon learn how to be herself and not be afraid to show her adventurous side and independence. That she wasn't just Aurorette Bellefeuille then yougest princess of Miyuseille but Aurora the adventurous spirit who loved to travel and just be herself. No one would think that a princess could be friends with a bunch of pirates, but Aurora was definitely ready to be one of the first. She would really come to think of them as her second family, though some were still definitely scarier than others.
