Summary
A nature spirit, and protector of the forest surrounding The Clockwork Kingdom.
She sees deep value in all life, but will not hesitate to defend her home.
Her life in the forest is generally very fulfilling; she and the other nature spirits there are as much a part of the forest as it is a part of them.
Has a very complicated relationship with mortality. Forest spirits such as her are long-living, because rather than their lifespans being measured in time, they are measured by magic.
Aria began, where her predecessor ended. There were a lot of things she had to figure out on her own, and she made a lot of mistakes along the way. She had a lot to measure up to; her predecessor left big shoes to fill. And how could she ever even attempt to fill the shoes of someone she's never met?
It's a unique kind of grief, the grief of never-having-known someone so important to her.
