Aurola / La
Darkon’s Childhood Friend and Former Bodyguard
Aurola, later known as La, is Darkon’s childhood friend and a captain entrusted with his safety. Practical and protective, she recognizes a frightened child where others see a monster and is willing to question the distrust of outsiders she was raised with. Her friendship with Suki strengthens her concern for people beyond the crown. After betrayal and terrible injury, she returns as La, one of Darkon’s Scale. Haunted by the people she could not save, she tries to protect both her friends and the humans endangered by their revenge. Though Darkon is dear to her, she refuses to kneel to what he has become.
