[b]Backstory:[/b]
[i]Born from the echoes of sorrow and loss, Aria Nightshade’s existence stretches back to times long forgotten by humans. As a banshee, she has wandered the world, her spectral form drawn to places of profound tragedy and suffering. With every lamenting wail, she mourned the lives lost to wars, plagues, and calamities, bearing witness to the struggles of both humans and creatures of the night.

As the ages passed, Aria's understanding of sorrow evolved into a deeper empathy for the living, regardless of their origin. She realized that sorrow was a universal experience shared by all beings, both mortal and immortal. This revelation awakened a desire within her to do more than merely predict and grieve for fallen souls. She yearned to ease their suffering, prevent further heartache, and ensure the coexistence of humans and supernatural creatures.

Despite her initial skepticism when Count Dracula called for her, Aria joined the council with the goal of preventing further tragedies and fostering coexistence between humans and the supernatural. However, with Count’s sudden disappearance, the weight of responsibility presses upon her spectral shoulders.[/i]

[b]Extra:[/b]
[i]Aria carries with her a small, tattered journal that holds the stories of countless lives she has witnessed and mourned. The journal serves as a reminder of her duty and the weight of her role as a banshee and a member of the Council of Night.[/i]
