True Name: Euphemia Aphelion.
Alias: Eloise Grace.
Age: 21.
Stone: Larimar.
Face Claim: Isuzu Sohma, Fruits Basket.
The second child of
Laedrus Aphelion and
Katal Aphelion, whether born out of love or out of...a necessity to have a replacement if something happened to Valken, is unknown. It wasn't the
warmest of homes, but it was far from the worst either, and she and her brother were happy for the most part, when their parents had time for them after all their other work and responsibilities. Euphemia herself was a rather easy child to raise anyway, and she held a quiet, submissive personality in comparison to her brother's. She was often doted on, if not by her parents then by the staff that helped care for the family's estate. She avoided trouble, only taking part in anything mischievous when she was trailing after Valken. Even at her young age she took classes for etiquette and proper behavior for girls her age and the future, and seemed to do fine in fitting those molds that were expected of her. She was the perfect daughter by all means. After arriving in the orphanage along with several other girls around her age, and with a confusing, jumbled mess of memories that didn't feel right, and the stress of being around strangers, her personality did take on more "undesirable" traits, becoming rather moody and cold. She was eventually adopted by couple
Natalie Grace and
Samuel Grace, a pair that had been unable to conceive for years and sought to provide a loving home for a child who needed it. Despite her behavior, they were patient and kind, eventually gaining her trust and love in return. Though while they may see a kind and well natured young girl, she did gain a reputation at the school they had her attend for being wild, uncontrollable and something of a spitfire, with occasional cold and mean moods. This has carried into college, and though her partying and unstable lifestyle has lead to an undesirable friend group and difficult situations, bad habits, and more, it doesn't seem to be on the road to change anytime soon, not when she continues to fester over the off feeling that she's haunted by memories that aren't her own, a trauma that she can't even recall, and a person or
people that she should know and love that she can't even recall the names or faces of.

The first child of
Laedrus Aphelion and
Katal Aphelion, and a son like they were hoping for for their firstborn, even though their second, a daughter, would have fared well enough in his position as well. For all that they wanted him to be an orderly, perfect child, he seemed to have more of a free spirit, a desire to learn and explore, to discover himself and the world around him. Trying out every food, meeting every sort of person, including those that served, or lived under the rule of his family (much to his parents' dismay, when they discovered he'd been sneaking off to play games, even gamble with children his age in the city, regardless of their social class), to try out different weapons and fighting styles, eventually settling on an agile form with the use of a polearm, though appreciating the delicate use of a bow as well. If he were to one day rule the people, he wanted to know as much as he could, and he wished to know them
as well, to provide them with a freedom and happiness more than his parents ever tried to for as much as they were to keep their lands thriving and happy, free from unrest and contempt. When his younger sister was born, and in the years that followed, he grew to love her, becoming something of a protective older brother, for as much as she seemed to be unsure about following him around, and would throw a minor fit when she got in trouble because of what he'd dragged her along to. Still, they shared a close bond. So close that he would have died for her, even at the young age of twelve, when Ivelda wiped out their parents, and for all he knew, was trying to kill them and the rest of the noble children his age at the time. As the eldest present, he fought to try and protect the rest, though in the end failed, losing his sister to some odd world he never knew, and his memories of her and anything he'd ever had soon after.
With the new queen's tactics to keep him and the rest of the princes subdued and at her bidding, Valken, or now Aetherius's personality was crushed, reformed into something more heartlessly devoted to a woman who sought power at any cost. A free spirit with an energy that could light up rooms turned to a strict and cold persona, only desiring to help his queen pursue her path, and destroying anyone who might stand in the way, whether it be through actually killing them or by simply breaking their mind in his own particular ways. The one who once sought freedom and joy, now burns down any form of rebellion or scent of desire in those below him, all for the woman who he believes saved him from near death and corruption from the world itself.
