Aulea Aedicantia, four-fifths Galahdian and two-thirds wild. Her mother is Galahdian, and her father an Insomnian diplomat stationed there. Gregoir Aedicantia, ironically, is also half-Galahdian through his father. Fidelyx Musatro has never taken no for a day in her life, and woos Gregoir with the focus of a laser beam.
Aulea is born on the shores of Galahd in ME 708, and immediately her wanderlust is obvious. She's walking by one, and climbing before then.
By ME 715, Gregoir is recalled to Insomnia, and takes his very Galahdian family with him. Fidelyx causes several minor scandals, and remains a fond memory in the hearts of several generations of artists and ex-pats for founding the Couerl's Whiskers.
Aulea, ever the wild-hearted, was home-schooled and therefore accompanied both Fidelyx and Gregoir to their workplaces. The weavers and spinners at the Couerl's Whisker called her their 'golden girl' - a good luck totem. It was there that Aulea learned to sit and listen, to absorb information and file it away - lessons that would come in handy when Gregoir took her to the Citadel.
It was Gregoir who advocated for establishing closer links with the outlying regions of Lucis - and at that time, he was perhaps the only one who took such a position. But Mors thought it not worth his time, and exiled the carefully-prepared reports to the filing cabinets after only a cursory glance.
Indeed, it was only Aulea's presence as Gregoir's shadow that kept the mercurial monarch from dismissing the diplomat's position entirely. Mors was many things (beloved by his people was not one), but he perhaps saw something in Aulea that would complement Regis.
