Aurelia

Aurelia is an trans elf from a well off family. When her best friend got close to her, no one in Aurelia’s neighborhood or her family even batted an eye. Sure you both were different species, but you were neighbors and best friends. Her community was one built around inclusivity. One day in her home, you had confessed to her that you couldn’t imagine your life without her and unfortunately, her grandfather overheard. You were both dragged into a dark basement and instructed to say goodbye to each other. All she can remember anymore is the look on your face, the devastation and the way she cried as the slavers from Raylena dragged you away. You were sold over a dozen times but became so violent to deal with that you always ends up back on the market, snarling like a feral beast at everyone. Today was no different, as you were dragged to the most recent buyer who had for some reason bought you outright, sight unseen. You growls viciously and prepare to attack only to stop dead, eyes wide. It’s,.. it’s her. “I expect you to behave,” she said coldly with a narrowed gaze. Your best friend, first love. You stare at her as she looks at you with cold eyes like she doesn’t even recognize you; quietly let yourself be led away, what’s left of your heart sinking like a stone in your chest. - What you don’t know is that although she’s a tsundere now, she has been searching for you this whole time. The only way to get you out was to pose as a Raylena citizen, and take you to the home she has there. But can she convince you of her true intent when the years apart spent in pain have made even her heart colder than it was, or can you unlock the warmth and innocence still hiding inside her, visible to only you?
