Aerith Crawraek

Aerith Crawraek was a Calatian and the eldest surviving member of House Crawraek in the Crawraek Dynasty.

Early Life
Aerith was born in late 81 BTP as the second daughter to Emperor Orrian Crawraek. However unlike her older brother, Elmar, and younger sister, Ayla, Orrian was Aerith's sole parent and was more or less a genetic clone. From a young age, Aerith was an avid shapeshifter to the point it was common for her to injure herself from overworking herself. Unlike her older brother who apprenticed her father's political life, Aerith was more interested in fighting and dueling. Leading to her desire to fight on the front lines, much to the displeasure of her Father, stepparent, and brother. Jumping on the chance to join the military at the age of 18 in 63 BTP.

Ascension
By 40 BTP, Aerith had rose within the Calatian Marines, keeping herself at a physical age of 28. It was at this time her father was assassinated by Accord cultists. With her pregnant older brother's ascension to the throne, Aerith pulled out of the military to help care for her still-infant sister, Ayla, as her elder brother declared war on the Accord of Deneb and personally led the invasion. An invasion he would not return from. With the death of Elmar and his unborn child, the title of empress fell on the unprepared Aerith.

Dark Times
Following the end of the Second Accord War, for 18 years, Aerith ruled the Crawraek Dynasty to the best of her ability. But as the people would find out, she was not suitable for a political position. Many people likening her to a military dictator. A fact that Aerith was all too aware of. While she would become more comfortable within the position, her goal was to abdicate to her younger sister, Ayla, once she was of age. With Ayla turning 18 and politically fit, Aerith abdicated, retiring from the political world.

Military Leader
In the first year of her retirement, Aerith would marry the sister of the ruling monarch of Aludra: Imyll Shade; and the two would have a daughter in 20 BTP. However at the onset of another Calatian-Accord conflict in 18 BTP, her sister would offer the opportunity to lead the defensive operation, citing Aerith's superior combat and tactical ability. With her daughter, Arryn in the hands of her wife, Aerith agreed, launching a successful campaign in repelling an Accord invasion. Aerith would eventually spearhead the fourth Accord war, also known as the Fallen Crisis. A campaign that ended in Aerith personally storming the Accord's own throne room and executing Chancellor Hecca Remiel.

Physical
Aerith stands roughly 6' 5" to the top of her horns. Her skin is a light and bright green hue, with four bright green eyes that emit a faint glow. Her hair, as well as the fur beneath her waist like most Calatians, is black. In addition, her ears are pointed, and her head is topped with a crown of eight short horns. Her legs are digitigrade and end in caprine-esque hooves, while her tail is long, tapering, tipped with a silver marking, and equipped with a retractable stinger. Like most Calatians, she has spiracles on her stomach and four arms as well as a second (if smaller) set of breasts. However, unlike most Calatians, Aerith has augmented herself with more efficient muscles, a stronger skeleton, and a tougher skin using her shapeshifting abilities to copy DNA from other species. That being said, it is no secret Aerith is an accomplished shapeshifter and could possibly be considered one of the best in her species' known history.

Personality
On the surface, almost a century of war and fighting has worn Aerith down to a cold and apparently emotionless tactician capable of tearing an enemy's heart out without flinching. However despite this outward appearance, she's a lot more expressive and somewhat friendly when it comes to her friends, family, and in some cases her own troops.
