Aurane is a mentally unstable resident of Yuriba. She's widely suspected of having escaped from a lunatic asylum, and her behavior and the chaotic appearance of her clothing give some weight to this belief. She makes occasional references to a woman or girl known as 'Alice', who is not the same Alice that currently resides in Yuriba. The relationship or significance of this person to Aurane is unknown, although some believe it is the name of a girl Aurane accidentally murdered in her madness.
New arrivals are often warned, with good cause, that Aurane can be rather violent, particularly towards angels and those who have bathed in the Tianshiniichuan spring. She refers to these people as 'featherlights' and seems to have a strong prejudice against them. Her behavior is often erratic, and she's been known to vomit butterflies. Furthermore, she seems to desire to spread her mindset to others, occasionally speaking of how sad it must be to live in a 'gray' world, or of wanting to 'give' colors to other individuals. The effects, were she allowed to have her way, are unknown and the risk is widely believed not to be worth taking.
Despite the dangers, Aurane can be very compelling. She has been known to tell fortunes, often of surprising accuracy, and seems to know things about people that she should not or could not know normally. There are some who believe she may be an avatar or living force of pure chaos, although there is no proof or evidence of this, merely rumors. Aurane, though not ascribing to any particular Deity on the Island seems instead to find a way to worship them all in her own way. She rarely refers to them by name, and instead uses place holders for them (similar to her habit of doing such for people). Like many natives and most Sentries, Aurane is highly suspicious and at times outright hostile towards foreign faiths that find their way to the island. She is particularly hostile towards any lunar based faith, including the native veneration of Tsuki.
Method to the Madness
Aurane has had several brushes with sanity while she has lived upon the island. The first was after she first arrived in Yuriba. Her multiple personality disorder housed a dangerous aspect known as 'Karla'. Genesis Magite prescribed medication which inhibited the personality. Later however, Aurane for reasons unknown stopped taking the medicine. It is after this time that Aurane's strange abilities began to emerge. It is also around this time that Wonderland was mentioned for the first time.
The second was during an attempt to "infect" breisleach. The result seemed to leave Aurane in a state of sanity. It did not last as a few of the island's residents joined together to find a way to restore her to her former self.
The Wildling
Aurane's erratic behavior has caused many of the longtime native Yuribans to refer to her as a Wildling. Aurane herself has identified herself as such on one or two occasions. That is when she isn't professing to the wind or a random collection of pancakes that talks. Though many of the residents of Yuriba claim to change over time, Aurane represents a real manifestation of that change in that she appears to have evolved or adapted to her surroundings. Those who have known her since her arrival have noticed that the more the girl accepts the island, the more the island seems to accept the girl. When asked Aurane claims the island give her everything she needs and protects her from harm. There is speculation as to whether this means that she knows that the inns give free food and have warm fires, or if the island itself provides for the girl's needs. Either way Aurane's answers are always too scrambled to tell. With each passing season Aurane has been noted to become more wild and strange, while all agree she's quite crazy, there has been talk that she may be intended to be that way. As always, Aurane is a useless source on the matter. Lately a unique trait to the Wilding woman has been recorded and noted. The natural flora and fauna of the Island apparently ignore Aurane's pretense. She can be seen in the park talking to the squirrels or floating about the mountains playing tag with the does. Particularly unique is Aurane's apparently dislike, but high resistance to Angstflower pollen.
Dark Intent
Unlike many residents Aurane shows a definite violent streak that borders on homicidal at times. She has repeatedly acted as, or attempted to act as a balancing force when she feels that something has gone wrong with the Island. In one instance she showed herself before Hokuto and gave the girl a dire warning. A warning which eventually led her down a path to a form of redemption for herself. However, not all of her warnings and appearances have been benign. After suffering a devastating blow from the former Sentry Lumi (while she claimed to be directed by Fuyuzora). Aurane tracked her into the snowfields of the Starlight Forest. While both women entered, only one left. Lumi has not been seen since. Since that time Aurane has professed to be watching and waiting, claiming she would even risk losing Wonderland in order to defend the Island from decay within those who dwell upon it.
