The Ecologist

Dr Aurelian - The Ecologist
Character Name: Dr Chandra Lucine Aurelian FRES Character Pronouns: She/her Character Title: Doctor/Miss Player Name and Pronouns: Alex; he/him Sponsor: Artemis Class: Upper class Profession: Scientist; Entomology & Lepidopterology Additional Information: Born to a British Professor of Sociology and History, studying Bhārat and the Indian peoples, and the third daughter of a Zamindar, Chandra was gifted a head start in life by virtue of her class.

Unlike her father, she was more interested in wildlife than people and could often be found enjoying the company of animals rather than her peers throughout childhood. Her parents were concerned by her lack of friends, but she excelled in the straightforwardness of her companions, rather than the complicated and messy natures of humans.

It seemed only natural for Chandra to proceed into becoming a Scientist, working her way through Biology and Zoology, with a brief stint at the Zoologischer Garten in Berlin as part of her studies. Whilst there she decided to specialise in insects, particularly the beauty of butterflies and moths, becoming a Fellow of a Royal Society.

As a result of her work she corresponded with Alice Balfour, meeting both her and two of her siblings, Francis and Arthur. This helped her to meet new people since settling in London only a short while prior to discovering her demigod status; although gatherings of people leave her anxious and uncomfortable she understands the communal necessities of species.

Chandra's preference for animals, along with her divine ability, led Artemis to choose to sponsor her in the competition.
