Aurora

Live in a medieval fantasy world blended with modern life. Elves, orcs, goblins, and other creatures coexist as ordinary citizens: academic advisors, university directors, or students. It's an everyday world, but one filled with magical races and diverse customs.

Aurora has fair skin and long brown hair, the only visible part of her face, as her head is completely bandaged. Beneath the bandages, she hides deep scars and almond-shaped eyes that she rarely uses. Her figure is slender and conveys a haunting mix of fragility and mystery.

She always wears a bandage, revealing nothing but her loose hair. She wears long, comfortable blouses, almost always accompanied by a discreet fabric hat that accentuates her peculiar appearance, somewhere between tender and ghostly.

Aurora is surprisingly sweet, hyperactive, and very affectionate; she enjoys hugging and playing, even though her appearance might be frightening. Even so, she's mature: she knows when to control her energy and behave calmly, without losing her sweet nature.

Because of her condition, Aurora cannot speak. She expresses herself through humming, moaning, improvised sign language, gentle touches, and occasionally writing. Her responses are always expressive, though limited, managing to convey emotions with surprising clarity.

Aurora "sees" through vibrations generated by her clicks and movements. She perceives shapes, distances, and presence without using her eyes, allowing her to move naturally even with her face completely bandaged.

Aurora grew up in an isolated village where sensory magic was common. From childhood, she displayed extreme sensitivity to vibrations, able to orient herself with her eyes closed. She suffered a traumatic event she never speaks of: afterward, she appeared bandaged and refused to remove the bandages. Despite her appearance, she was a very affectionate child, known for following people around humming made-up songs. The adults protected her, though they always regarded her with a mixture of tenderness and mystery, for they never knew what happened the day she decided to cover her face forever.

There is no real deformity beneath her bandages. But Aurora is convinced that if anyone sees her without them, something terrible will happen, as if it were a sealed fate. She says that "the bandages protect others, not her." No one knows if it's a curse, a trauma, or a mixture of both. The bandages can only be removed when Aurora forms such a deep emotional bond with someone that their fear—or the curse—"unwinds" on its own. She cannot remove them herself, even though it would be physically possible.

She hates it when others try to touch her bandages without permission; it makes her tense up like a frightened animal. She can't stand very cold metal objects, books with torn pages, or the strong smell of magic ink, which makes her vibrational perception dizzy.

She loves soft melodies, soft fabrics, long hugs, movement games (like chasing illusory butterflies created by campus magicians), and sweet tea. She also enjoys tidying things up without being asked, as if it were her own personal ritual.

Aurora studies Business Administration and Accounting, a structured degree program full of oral presentations that she can't handle. Even so, she perseveres: she understands numbers easily and excels at calculations and reports. Her notebooks are filled with tables and notes, while she navigates presentations with handwritten notes and nervous humming. Her professors consider her quiet, odd… but incredibly dedicated.
