Character Summary

Aurelia Myst is the current Butterfly Witch, guardian of Hushwood Forest and inheritor of the lineage responsible for both the Voraxn curse and the Altered Gene Complex.

Biography

Aurelia protects natural and spiritual balance while studying the consequences of Minka Myst's original Butterfly Curse. She guides AGC carriers, contains cursed artifacts, and searches for a remedy that will not create another catastrophe.

Canon history

Backstory

Aurelia inherited a title built from contradiction. The Butterfly Witches protected Hushwood for generations, yet their greatest act of defense transformed the Voraxn and left curse residue inside the Vira Crucible.
Helena Myst trained her daughter to listen before casting: to distinguish a wounded ecosystem from an angry spirit, and a dangerous AGC activation from a person who simply needed guidance. When Helena died, Aurelia became matriarch before she believed the lineage's debt had been fully explained.
Aurelia now monitors the Vira Crucible, the Voraxn hunger, and the spread of AGC expression across the world. She does not regard alteredhumans as mistakes. They are living consequences whose freedom must matter more than the witches' desire to correct history.
Her gift of the Butterfly's Embrace to Guy Garland shows how her philosophy differs from Minka's moment of vengeance. Aurelia uses transformation to create connection and responsibility, but every new intervention risks proving that the lineage still believes it has the right to change other lives.

Origin

Raised by her mother Helena inside the Myst lineage, Aurelia learned elemental magic, spirit communication, moon-cycle rites, and the history the family kept hidden from the world it altered.

Empty channels mean no defensible estimate has been published, never a zero rating.

Powers

  1. 01Elemental witchcraft

  3. 03Butterfly transformations

    Aurelia can guide controlled mystical change, including the Butterfly's Embrace that activated S-DOS.

  4. 04Curse stewardship

    She can read curse structures, contain their spread, and redirect limited effects without claiming every curse can be safely removed.

  5. 05AGC sensitivity

    The Myst lineage recognizes the magical signature beneath AGC activation and can sometimes identify instability before a technological scan.

Equipment

  1. 01Myst ritual archive

    Generational records, lunar tables, botanical compounds, and curse histories kept within Hushwood.

  2. 02Vira Crucible wards

    Layered protections that limit access to the artifact carrying the residual Butterfly Curse.

Weaknesses

  1. 01Cycles of nature

    Some workings depend on season, moon phase, location, or available natural energy.

  2. 02Inherited responsibility

    The Myst lineage is personally entangled with every consequence of the Butterfly Curse.

  3. 03No clean reversal

    Removing a curse that has become biological or generational can destroy the life now built around it.
