Aria
Champion of Nature
Aria is Yulgar and Lark’s daughter, an animal caretaker whose abilities grow far beyond the pet shop through which many friends first know her. Kolyaban exploits her wish to be recognized by naming her the Champion of Nature, but Aria eventually learns to claim that identity without accepting the Reshaper’s control. Her concern for living creatures becomes a commitment to their dignity, including their right to refuse help or remain private. While researching the Great Dragons, she recognizes that she has entered their homes uninvited and that her title may have gone to her head. After a severe injury, she continues her work and uses Nature magic to grow a living wheelchair, with her father and friends supporting her recovery.
