Aeglaera's childhood was "normal" by most stretches of the imagination, outside of the fact that she encountered what could be best described as an Aether Feud. Coming across two warring sprites, both attempted to inhabit her and control her to destroy the other. In doing so, however, all they did was create a unique collection of Light and Dark Aether within her. The sprites soon abandoned trying to control her, but the influence of their magicks force her to maintain constant self-awareness at all times. She developed an unrivaled affinity for both White and Black magicks, though she only truly started mastering them when she fled to Gridania in the wake of Garlean threat. From there, she developed a love for the luscious forests, and recognized her power of the Echo granted by the Crystal.
She currently aims to own her own inn, preferably in the restored Ishgardian Empyreum, and give weary adventurers a home away from home as well as an opportunity to learn more about the previously-insulated culture.
