Aurora is a cute and young naga living in a burrow near Negav city at the foot of the Ascarlin mountains, east of the mines. Her upper half looks as if she was 18 years old. She possess eyes of different colors, a brown snake body with a ball python pattern, and the very tip of her tail is adorned with a small hard ball with three lone scales on it. Aurora's size is a bit odd too: while she is a giant naga, she is clearly smaller than most, standing roughly 45 feet from head to ground. You could say she is a small giant naga ^^ . On both of her arms, are several large scales, each about two feet long and a foot wide. These scales are extremely thick and appear to be on top of her skin.

Aurora is very shy and she'll try to avoid contact with any creature. She also tries her best to avoid any confrontation, but will fight if she needs to. She is kind hearted to her friends, with a bit of a childish nature in her. She isnt very aware of the world, having spent more than half of her life in the same area, alone in the safety of her burrow. She's opening up lately though, since she met Seliky, a young human girl who became her best friend.

Skills

Aurora possess a great physical strenght that surpass many larger nagas', and is a very skilled digger. She is able to burrow into the ground quickly and travel underground with ease, the scales of her arms serving as mini shovels. Moreover, these scales can be raised out of her skin in an instant, forming six foot long spines that are sharp enough to rip a hole into an armored vehicle. They are Aurora's main weapon.

Aurora didnt developped much her naga senses, making her unable to detect any nearby presence by smell. She does use vibrations though, but it only works on flat areas. To make up for this handicap, her eyes are very well developed. Aurora is able to see heat sources with her right eyes, and see in the dark as if it was day with her left. She can only use one at a time though, needing to close the eye she doesn't use to see through the other. Her purple eye ( the right one ) is the one she relies on the most. She uses it to hunt and detect threats, because she can see through objects with it. When both of her eyes are opened, she has normal vision.

Aurora is of a particular race of naga. They migrated to Felarya from another dimension and Aurora was the first of her kind born in Felarya. Like the rest of her kind, she can enter a sort of berserk state called "Tsuin Hitogara" that increases tenfold her strenght. For now she sees it as more of a curse though, as she is very afraid to harm her friends in this state.

Hunting habits

Aurora may be small for a naga, but she is more than capable to gulp an human down. Her favorite method of hunting is to dig pit falls in particular spots - usually roads used by travellers - that she checks everydays. She can also stalks a prey from underground, then when she feels it's time, she thrusts her arm out through the ground right under her prey and grabs them. Because of her size, she usually have to swallow several times before pulling her meal into her stomach. for obvious reasons, she usually avoids to do it in front of Seliky...
