Well-mannered and generally polite, she nevertheless tends to inwardly look down upon those who are not Magi like herself. For normal humans this takes the form of mere dismissal rather than any kind of disdain. For metahumans, whom she considers to be unstable attempts to imitate Magi, she takes a much harsher stance. Despite this, Aelia is not unreasonable—she can acknowledge worthy and noble individuals of any race, and is ultimately a kind hearted individual despite her austere manner. She is a deeply passionate aesthete who adores all things art, with theatre and opera being at the very top of her list of hobbies. Due to her family’s reputation, and her own status as a prodigy, she feels immense pressure to live up to her full potential and honour the legacy of her House. Aelia is extremely confident—perhaps even arrogant—in her abilities, which can occasionally lead to her underestimating her opponent’s. She takes failure harshly, feeling that any inadequacy on her part will bring shame upon her family’s noble name. Super abilities: -Skills: Aelia is considered a prodigy of without peer, perhaps the greatest since old Myrddin himself. Her abilities with the arcane arts easily surpass skilled Magi twice her age or more. Being a member of the ancient House of Harlow has also given her access to all manner of grimoires and tomes that have greatly aided her in furthering her knowledge. -Powers: Magic Aelia is a supremely gifted Magi, able to draw upon the leylines with the same ease that she draws breath. She can unleash a myriad of devastating spells against her foes, practically being a living encyclopaedia of the arcane arts. -Gadgets: -Mage robes that are magically reinforced against physical and mystical attacks alike. -Grimoire of Hastur; an impossibly ancient grimoire that the Harlow family came into possession of in ages past. It contains her most powerful and potentially devastating spells, ones that even she struggles to properly control… -Weapons: None Civilian Occupation: Old Money Biography--------- Character History/Origin: Aelia Marcella Harlow was born into the ancient and powerful noble House of Harlow, an aristocratic family that’s origins stretch back to the Saxon invasions of Roman Britain in the fifth century CE. Quite possibly the single oldest still existing family in the world, their formidable command over the arcane arts has ensured the continuous growth of their wealth and power throughout the ages. Even as the leylines began to dry, the Harlow’s simply became subtler in their spellcraft. Even from an early age, Aelia displayed an extraordinary connection to the leylines that flow through our reality. Barren as they were, she was nevertheless able to draw upon every ounce of their remaining power to cast spells that Magi many decades her senior would struggle with. This excited her parents, who were eager to cultivate their daughters’ natural talents so that she might one day further the interests of Harlow. When the new Wizard was unexpectedly chosen and leylines were once more flooded with magic, Aelia’s powers naturally grew exponentially, as did every Homo Magi’s. Her family’s company, Harlow Enterprises, was quick to take advantage of this new surge of arcane energy, beginning a global initiative to harness the power of magic into a renewable energy source. Following the One Week War and the devastation it brought to the Earth, their efforts were seen as all the more vital. As Harlow Enterprises helped to spear the reconstruction efforts with their magi-technological innovations, Aelia worked hard to complete her primary education. Graduating from high school at the age of fourteen, she just recently earned her bachelor’s degree in arcane engineering at Harlow University in Essex. Facing stiffer competition in the United States than elsewhere due to rival families such as the Kasimir’s, Aelia’s father sent her overseas to their company’s American branch in San Francisco to assist her uncle, Markus Harlow, in dominating the energy and reconstruction markets there as they have in most other parts of the world. Aelia, however, felt that her magical abilities could perhaps be put to a greater use than simply manipulating the most naïve consumer base in the first world. For the past six years she had watched as masked heroes—including the Wizard herself—used their powers for the betterment of society. Even the metahumans, with their wild and inferior discount “magic”, had proven that they could make a difference. How could she, therefore, as a bonafide magical prodigy and Harlow, do anything less? Her honour demanded at least that much from her. Optional information ---------- Nemesis: Allies: Team: Young Justice
