Physical Description: 5'7", tall for her age, 118 lbs. Blond hair about half-way down her back, worn loose usually. Green eyes with lots of laugh lines around them. Looks gawky at times but is very graceful in the water. Skin is a lovely bronze from the southern climate and being outside almost all the time. Is usually seen in bright and unusual clothing.

Personality: Sometimes Aurora can be quite shy around people that she doesn't know, but she is very open around the few close friends that she has. Her mind is very quick and has a reputation for making comments which are not taken well by others. She is someone you would call a "nature" girl. She is most comfortable around things that don't talk back to her (except for dolphins), and she likes to enjoy simple things in nature. That is, when she can break away from the bustle at the hall.

Life Story: She was born before her mother impressed at the late age of 22 turns and was allowed to stay at the Weyr with her father and mother. Father was a Harper for Southern Weyr and she stayed with him when her mother went out in Threadfall. She had dreamed of impressing a dragon and was quite comfortable around them. She was put up as Candidate at the age of 15 but did not Impress. It was not that sad of an occasion though, because her foster sister, Rana, impressed a green. Her entire family was overjoyed and celebrated. She was a tad disappointed, but that can be expected. It was while she was at the hatching that she became interested in dolphins. The Dolphineer Journeymen that were there talked about the bond that they had with their dolphins and she knew that that was what she wanted to apprentice in. She was glad that she finally decided because her father wanted her to be a harper like him and she despised singing and transcribing. She just became an apprentice 1 and a half turns ago and she is very eager to have a dolphin companion. She has 2 other foster sisters, and so many other companions from the weyr. The few good friends that she has are with her at the Hall.
