Aurelia would often steal away and go to the village keep to watch the sunsets from atop the battlements. It was in the darkness on the way home before supper that she would begin to play with magic. One night a few neighbors took notice of the girl as she managed to procure fire from nothing. The neighbors being a superstitious lot went to the local constable where word ended up getting to the Salinaro Family who controlled the countryside to the east of Miruna.
Lady Fae Salinaro paid an unexpected visit not to long after. A noble whom most feared her family harsh treatment of the peasant folk who lived in the rural countryside. Often her own words would spark the embers of dissent in people as she was an entitled woman who grew up in the life luxury and power. Her personal body guards came along with representatives from the Cosminia Academy. On that day Aurelia was taken by force to the academy. Her life would never be the same…
When Aurelia turned 16 she had a disturbing nightmare in the middle of the night. She was on the battlement her village keep while admiring the stars. She could see a flash of light erupt across the heavens. Soon more and more lights could be see lancing back and forth. Suddenly fire would rain down from the skies. Debris and wreckage could be seen descending from the heavens. She realized the trajectory was heading straight for the keep! She screamed as the vessel exploded just above the village its reactors having gone critical. The village was engulfed in an inferno… hundreds of voices cried out into the ether… She would awake screaming in fear.
This night mare would happen over and over again that it affected her studies, her sleep, and her mind…
The Cosminia academy had pursued a policy of staying neutral in the affairs of the world. There were some Royalist practitioners and rebel sympathizers here and there but for the most part the focus here was on furthering the practice of magic. Aurelia struggled to keep up with her school work but the night mare continued to haunt her. With each disturbed slumber she was able to figure out more and more such as the class of the ship was the old Venerable Class Carrier. She became hell bent on averting the nightmare for she believed that she was granted the gift of being an oracle.
The nightmares ceased the day before she returned home for a royal holiday break. Relief and worry clouded her mind as she sought to figure out why it had ended. After spending a lovely evening with her family in the village square with the rest of her people as they celebrated the Lady’s Salvation festival Aurelia went to the village keep to investigate why the visions had haunted her so.
It came true… Everything, she had managed to shield herself from the blast by manipulating the air and pushing the elements away from her as much as possible. She leapt from the keep before it was struck by the burning ship… Hundreds of souls from the village folk to the crew of the ship, their voices cried out all at once.
Aurelia was broken, distraught, angry, sorrow, emotions of pain wracked her mind. She would hurl debris around in search of her mother, father and brother. She found her parents after hours of searching. Cleaved in two by a hot slab of durasteel. The Salinaro family’s personal guard along with the Royal Army arrived a few hours later. They found Aurelia weeping over the bodies of her parents. Her brother and few other of the village boys and girls had survived as they had happened to do what most children do, run off and play away from their parents eyes. The reunion would not last as the Salinaro’s took direct control of the village and sent her brother Sid and the rest of the Orphans to St. Tiberius Military Academy. Aurelia was sent back to the Academy where she began to investigate why such tragedy had befallen her. She knew of the rebellion and civil war but her ignorance brought on by the Academy’s stance had left little knowledge of the true facts.
A battle had occurred as the Rebels had attempted to gain control of the orbit above Miruna, the Royal Navy managed to stop them but at severe cost. One of the rebel carrier’s navigational systems had been severely damaged and crashed into the planet. Crashed onto her village. The odds were astounding that such an event even happened. Yet the vision had come true. The Royalists at the academy condemned her after the Salinaro Family revealed the village was associated with the rebellion. She would be taunted in the halls by classmates she once thought were colleagues and even friends. Soon she would gravitate to those who held the rebellion spirit as she began to realize the truth that Nicoleta had declared long ago of the regime. She reasoned that if the Royal Family had not been so repressive of the people then there never would have been a reason to rebel in the first place and the death of her parents could have been long ago been avoided.
She and many of her new found friends left the academy and took up arms against the Royal Family and its armies. For over a year she would learn the ways of guerrilla warfare, using her magic as a weapon.
Emotionally she was unstable as the death of her parents still haunted her mind and would often cause her to go into a berserker rage while on the battle field.
During the Battle for Miruna she helped rally the rebels and saved many lives from perishing as the Rebels were forced back into the underground.
She would go on to Stefania and with her brother would strike key Imperial and Crinan Military locations. They did this for weeks before finally the Imperial Security Bureau managed to track them down and thwart their attempt at bombing the Star Hotel with the Imperials were using as a temporary government building.
Aurelia was captured and taken into Imperial Custody, she was then tortured for months and then transferred to Rodica and placed in an Imperial Detention Block specially designed by the Inquisition to contain force users who may still hold value. Unbeknownst to her the crinan resistance was still alive and kicking. For that reason the ISB sought to use her as a way of luring out the enemy.

APPEARANCE
BIOGRAPHY
Aurelia Grata was born of Cinera Grata and Roto Grata; she was born in a time of civil war in a fishing village by the great city of Miruna. Aurelia grew up along with her younger brother Sid Grata in a small hovel by a brook. She spent most of her early years living a simple life, aiding her father and mother in fishing the many streams and brooks. Her family worked hard and always worked together. She had discovered her connection to magic one day while playing with her younger brother out on the river. They were horseplaying around when Sid slipped and nearly fell off the boat. She reached out with her hand to grab him but instead of physically grabbing him she yanked him back with telekinesis. Her family were both ecstatic and worried after discovering she was able to use magic. Her mother and father held the belief set forth by Nicoleta that life on Crina could be a better one. Dissidents in mind but not in action. They were worried that if Aurelia went off to Cosminia she would get caught up in the politics and civil war. So they did everything to prevent her from being noticed by others of her magically talent. Irrational in some respects but the love and care that parents have for their children make them do silly things.Aurelia would often steal away and go to the village keep to watch the sunsets from atop the battlements. It was in the darkness on the way home before supper that she would begin to play with magic. One night a few neighbors took notice of the girl as she managed to procure fire from nothing.
