Aurora Phalanx

Aurora Phalanx is the 6th Lieutenant of the Palace Guard. She is the daughter of the Crown's finance minister and was given her officer position likely due to nepotism reasons.

Appearance
Aurora is a pretty, high cheekboned girl with dimpled cheeks and a small mole on the right side of her face. She has blonde hair tied back in a single long braid and blue eyes. She wears the standard uniform of a palace guard.

Personality
Aurora is prideful, energetic, enthusiastic, and approval-seeking. She is determined to be elevated to the status of a folk hero, beloved and celebrated by the people of the realm. She is reckless, impulsive, and favors gut instinct over analysis or planning. She is over dramatic in her work and sees the world in grand narratives. She fervently idolizes Pegasus Morningson and attempts to emulate him. Aurora wants to be First Blade of the Realm some day. She enjoys cooking, riding, and playing and hearing music.

Skills and Equipment
As a palace guard officer, Aurora is skilled in armed and unarmed combat, though her skills are below average for one of her station.

In addition to the standard equipment of a palace guard, Aurora wields the Rainbow Lance, Constantinople. It is a long lance that swirls with explosive energy in every color of the rainbow, and projects more power based on the strength of the emotions behind it. It also has a barrier-breaking enchantment. Aurora is not yet very skilled in its use.

Chapter 8: The Tournament
Aurora came to see the jousting tournament and was alerted by Jatin and Nicole that the matches were being fixed. Aurora destroyed several carriages and defeated dozens of fleeing Vertebra family criminals. She tried to grant Jatin and Nicole royal peerage for their help, but was informed she did not have the authority to do that.
