Aura was a product of the Alma Mater's trials, raised alongside Harley and Violet, both from rich backgrounds, though none of them truly know their origins. The three shared twin doctors as their mentors, though Aura was often trained in isolation. Despite her strong bond with Harley and Violet, whom she would never abandon, Aura always found herself set apart.

Aura never bent to authority. Vulgar, brash, and maddeningly stubborn once her mind was set-"no" was never enough for her. She'd taken more punishments than most could endure, a testament to her defiance, yet each one only fueled her more. What she craved, though, was recognition. She wanted to be known for her cleverness, to outthink, outmaneuver. A quiet simple life, untroubled was her deepest desire, but that peace always slipped through her fingers. A spy by nature, and by necessity, she was cursed with the insatiable urge to study, to know. And in her world, knowledge never came without a price.
