Who the hell is Aura and what's up with her?

Aura is a NPC from the first Wild Arms game! She's rather minor in the original game (to a point of being unnamed), but her character is a little more prominent and expanded a bit in the remake.

She's encountered when the party visits Saint Centour, a bustling city turned ghost town courtesy of Alhazad transforming most of the villagers into bloodthirsty monsters (and presumably killing off the rest). She ends up the sole survivor and lives alone until Zed encounters her sometime after the Gate Generator incident (which is the game's midpoint).

She turns up again way later on in the game where she mentions Zed and how he's been taking care of her, triggering his optional boss fight (and recruitment sidequest in the remake).

As for what she's like, Aura's pretty much as normal a human you can get aside from being blind due to an unexplained injury in her childhood. However, she does have mild empathic abilities and can sense what people are like on at least a surface level. Normally it's from the sound of their voices, but sometimes there's other tells too.




Examples )

In short, here's basically where you can tell me whether or not it's all right for Aura (or if you want her to) to sense certain things about your characters and what they're like.

Keep in mind her abilities are strictly empathic, and on a rather mild level at that. She can't sense any magic in anyone as far as I know, and she can't tell whether or not they're human or otherwise - the latter is precisely why an optional bossfight with Zed is triggered, as he attacks the party out of fear they'll warn her about the fact he is a Metal Demon.

Also? In the event it's Not Cool for her to detect anything about your character, that's fine. She's pretty normal as human as you can get, so I don't doubt there's times her readings on someone are wrong or if she just can't get a good feel of what they're like at all.

Some copypasta for you:
