Physical Description
Rose's appearance reflects more of her Serenian father than her Yoreiqi mother, with a very slightly tanned skin tone and deep red hair that almost appears black, the red only apparent in the light. Her eyes are large and almond shaped, bright teal in color and framed with thick lashes. Built on the curvy side, she is nonetheless deceptively well-muscled.

She keeps her wings hidden, which is an impressive feet considering their rather sizable span. They are closest in appearance to a golden eagle, though instead of brown and gold most of the feathers a deep black-brown, with accents of dark red. Rose has no idea if they actually "work"- if she can fly- because she's never bothered to try.

Personality
Outwardly Rose is a bright, open person with a gentle nature and a distinct fun-loving side. For the most part, this is true; however, under pressure or in certain situations, she has a highly developed ability to compartmentalize, which has served her very well in life.

Magic/Abilities
She has no magical talent to speak of, but her music has been called "enchanting" (in a purely figurative sense). She can play a variety of instruments, though her preferred method of performing is vocal.

Rose is adept with a knife and a bow, which she can switch between easily when a fight goes from long range to close quarters.

Relationships
Lots of acquaintances, no real friends.

History
Her father was a mercenary, a hit man. Over two decades ago, his work brought him to the Yoreiqi isles on the trail of a merchant, a rival of his employer. The job was over quickly and Sorren decided to do some sightseeing, wherein he met Moana.

The two fell quickly, deeply in love and he brought her back to the mainland with him. Unfortunately, Sorren's line of work is not exactly conducive to having a family, though his did his best to keep his wife and- soon enough- daughter out of the more unsavory aspects of his life.

For the most part, Loke (named for her mother's favorite mainland flower) had a very normal childhood. She turned out to be musically gifted at a young age and her mother taught her to play a few of the instruments native to the island and to sing in the traditional style of her people. The only real catch she ever felt growing up was her wings- when she was young people stared, and so she learned to hide them, wanting people to see her and not her "oddity".

But the peace only lasted so long. Eventually Sorren's past caught up with him, and when she was sixteen Loke came home from a day in the market to discover her parents dead in their home. Either the killers didn't know they had a daughter, or they simply didn't care, because no one came after her.

But she didn't want to risk it. So Loke became Aria Rose, and she learned to survive on her own.
