She knows men extremely well and it doesn't take long to find out their weaknesses and strengths. It is what helps her be quite manipulative and use her knowledge to her advantage, which often leads to getting what she wants. Her manipulative ways and ability to read others are her strongest strengths, but of course there are always exceptions. Never the less, Aurelia likes a good challenge.

She is an excellent actress (being a con artist she has to be) and can play to a person's desires. She has a natural elegance to her which she uses to sway the situation in her favor. She is also quite conceited, thinking rather highly of herself. She looks out for herself, and only herself, displaying little care for others. So long as she has coin and stability, she is satisfied... for the time being.
.:Accents:. She has a bit of a mixed accents. Being of Saracen blood, and living in the Holy Lands she has a very soft Arabic accent. However she will often play it up and pretend not to speak English if she is 'working'.

.:Wanted For:. Being Robin's wife. Oh, and for being Saracen.
.: Special Skills:. Her special skills are pretending to be anyone to cater to a person's desire. She is also an excellent cook, and is actually quite intelligent, even though she downplays it for the benefit of her job. She also has vast knowledge of herbs and medicines, knowing which ones heal and which ones can poison or drug.
.:Weapon Training:. She doesn't know how to use any weapons. When faced with life and death, she likes to believe she has what it takes to protect herself... but in terms of weapons, she knows not how to use any. She relies on her looks and manipulation to get through life.

.:Birthplace:. Egypt
.:Family:. Mother: Ghadah. Father: Unknown
.:History:. Aurelia was born in Egypt to a Muslim mother, and a Christian father. How this happened, Aurelia has never been sure of. Her mother was extremely young when she had Aurelia, and was shamed by her family for having a child without being married. Her mother was disowned and she lived on the streets, caring for her only daughter. It was not safe for a woman to be out on her own, and after many years of Ghadah's aimless wandering and begging, she was eventually encountered by slave traders. They kidnapped Ghadah and her daughter, separating the mother from her four year old child. Aurelia never saw her mother again. She was sold as a slave, bouncing from place to place, until after many years of this servitude, she had managed to escape.

It only posed as greater difficulty in her life for she, as her mother once had, was forced to live on the streets, begging for money and finding scarps of food where she could. If nothing else, this made her a strong will woman. Her strength was not defined by the use of weapons, but rather, her resilience. Throughout these years she learned the ways of the world. Her religion was not something she held dear to her, not exactly being the most devout in her faith, and she soon found her greatest skill: her knowledge of others. How to use such knowledge to her advantage, how to benefit her, and so on. It was what led her to her informal work as a con artist, and it was what began to pain for food, places of stay, and so on. Aurelia targeted rich men, sometimes older ones. Those who she knew she could easily play. And right at the perfect moment, she would take all that she could and flee.

It has caused her to have a life on the run, but the world is big enough for her to hide anywhere. After one particularly large scam, she ventured to the Holy Lands, knowing that she would not be followed there. What she found awaiting her however, was something far greater than freedom. It was a man. An English noble. One who had captured her interest, only because of the way he spoke out against others, defending people's freedom and... other things he said that she did not pay close attention to. What she did know, was that he would make a fine 'husband'. He was a man of strength, wealth and position. And thus, Robert of Locksley became her latest target. She managed to meet him at a gathering, and what happened there... whatever rituals occurred, are ones that only she remembers, and ones that he was hopefully too drunk to recall.

That was the last time she saw him before he was forced to return to England. But that far from discouraged her. She followed him back to England using whatever methods she could as transportation. Upon arriving, she had been faced with a huge culture shock. It caused her to reside as a recluse for several weeks before she continued her work in the hunt of her beloved husband. Unknowingly, she approached one of the men that she had come to understand as a man of some authority, and claimed that she was Robert of Locksley's wife. This revelation had the opposite effect that she intended. She had anticipated being greeted with respect, and courtesy... being led to his grand home where she would reside in comfort. But instead, she was to be arrested and when she ran, arrows flew after her. Had Robert not been there at the time, to lead her to safety she would not have survived. And now, she is able to be with her dear husband once more.
