Aurora Stone

Aurora Peters, nee. Stone (b. 7th April, 1995), occasionally known as Rora, Rory, Roo, was the daughter of two of London's Elites, Lewis and Michelle Stone, the owners of one of the U.K.'s largest Publishing Houses, Stone Publishing. She was the eldest of their two daughters. She grew up in Surrey along with her parents and sister, Aileen.

Aurora attended University in London to study English Literature at an Undergraduate level, before achieving a PGCE (Post-Graduate-Certificate-Of-Education).

Whilst studying for her PGCE, she met Landon Peters on a night out with her two best friends; Tallulah Conway and Cameron Barker. They slept together that night and quickly entered into a relationship.

Early Life
Aurora was born on the 7th April 1995, to Michelle and Lewis Stone shortly after they got married. Then two years later, her parents had another daughter, Aileen. Growing up in Surrey, the two girls were inseparable and both shared a love for books, much like their parents.

Aurora's relationship with her sister deteriorated when she was nineteen, when Aileen fell pregnant. Aurora would not learn about her sister's pregnancy until much later, in 2017 at the age of twenty-two.

While Aileen was always considered the rebellious daughter, Aurora was believed to be "perfect". She kept all the rules her parents gave her and very rarely needed disciplining.

Aurora's mother, Michelle had a bit of a drinking problem, which was never fully understood, but seemed to relate to Aileen's estrangement.

University
Aurora attended University in London from 2012 to 2017 studying English Literature, where she met Tallulah Conway and Cameron Barker, who would become her best friends and flatmates. She also met Theodore Pollard (Theo), an author visiting the campus to give a guest lecture. They quickly became friends and Theo fell in love with Aurora but his feelings were never returned. She also became friends with Grace Dolton as they were studying the same subject.

PGCE
After completing her Undergraduate Degree, Aurora continued her training to become a Teacher. Two months into her training, she met Landon Peters on a night out with Tallulah Conway and Cameron Barker.

Work
While still completing her studies, Aurora agreed to head up an Educational Range of Resources for Stone Publishing at her father's request. She agreed on the condition that the project be Non-Profit.

During the summer of 2018, Aurora started preparing to start work as a teacher. She was hired as an English Teacher at Brixton High School.

Physical Appearance
Aurora is very pretty with dark chestnut coloured hair, that rolls in curls down her back. Her eyes are a deep, almost cobalt blue and everyone says she has her mum's eyes. Although she is very pale, she has a rosy complexion. She blushes quite a lot.

Personality & Traits
Aurora is very obedient, sometimes too much so. She is a very kind and deeply loyal friend. She can be a little bit bossy and occasionally takes after her mother, being slightly controlling.

She is a stickler for rules. Aurora is very organised with rules, plans and lists. She is very good with words and very polite.
