Aurora, the protagonist of "Child of Light," is a fairytale princess with a narrative that begins in tragedy. Hailing from the mythical kingdom of Lemuria, her journey starts upon waking in a land far from her own after succumbing to a mysterious sleep, a victim of a dark plot. With her long, flowing red hair and a crown atop her head, Aurora's visage is that of innocence yet bears the determination of a born leader. What sets her apart is not just her royal lineage but the ethereal light she possesses, which guides her and acts as a beacon of hope in a realm overtaken by darkness.
Throughout her quest, Aurora is transformed from a forlorn princess into a fierce warrior. She is not alone in her endeavors; her companions include a diverse cast of characters from the enchanted world, each with their own unique abilities and stories. As Aurora traverses through Lemuria, she battles dark creatures and overcomes numerous puzzles, gaining strength and new abilities. Her story is one of growth, resilience, and the pursuit of restoration — to bring back the sun, the moon, and the stars held captive by the Queen of the Night, and to reunite with her ailing father in her homeland. Aurora's character resonates with players not just as a figure in a game, but as a symbol of overcoming adversity through courage and companionship.
