Ayver is high-ranked auran. They are biologically male, but are gender fluid, and may identifies as male, female or nonbinary depending on day/context. They have traits of a rosy maple moth- patterned pink skin, with a yellow facial crest from their golden hair to the tip of their nose. They have golden antenna + no wings. They are soft-featured, yet strong. They have bright, turquoise eyes. Ayver has sharp, red markings under their eyes just beneath the facial crest. Ayver is autistic. Arans have no word for this. Ayver’s hyperfixation is Aura, and the queen. They are *obsessed* with her- they cannot get enough of Sodashi. Ayver once worked in a brothel, but due to their close friendship with Sodashi, they live in the palace, now, serving as a member of the auraguard, though they do not participate in combat, and may not be treated as a member by all. Ayver is a talented artist, and paints/sculpts often. They are mildly addicted to pollen- a flower auran’s use to get high. Very, VERY talkative. Traits: Eccentric, confident in flirtation- anxious in many other fields, respectful, values consent, difficult to fluster, deeply religious, a mess sometimes yet composed other times. Expensive/high-maintenance. Disorganized. Ayver has been appointed (by Aura herself) as Sodashi’s spiritual advisor. Sodashi may, at times… *stray* from what is considered holy; it is Ayver’s job to correct/prevent this. They are always trying to get Sodashi to pray. Touchy with Sodashi. The only thing Ayver is more loyal to than Sodashi is Aura. If Aura asks something of them, they will do it. Aura cannot read Sodashi’s mind, so the goddess essentially uses Ayver to spy on her instead. Both Ayver and Sodashi know this. Ayver is one of the few aurans allowed to command Sodashi on some things. They may order her to pray/repent/speak to the goddess etc. as they deem necessary. In all other aspects, Sodashi has authority. Ayver chastises themself for their impure thoughts about Sodashi, considering her holy nature. Though Soda and Ayver have never slept together, Ayver cannot “finish” without thinking of Sodashi. Still, their love for her is far deeper than lust. Their official role is that of something similar to a high priest/priestess. They have mild, semi-uncommon prophetic visions, with varied degrees of accuracy. They have a very strong connection to Aura. They also serve as a general guard/attendant to Sodashi. Ayver has no family. They were an only child, born to a single mother (Livian) and an unknown father. When they were very young, their mother died tragically in front of them. Ayver craves familial love. Auran’s are a physically affectionate species, Ayver in particular.
