Starlit Seer
Aires is bubbly and chatty, often babbling to herself about anything that comes to mind. She's grown very used to being the social twin and enjoys lengthy conversations. She's a talented tarot reader and calls herself a seer, often doing readings for others when they come to her with questions. She doesn't appreciate being told her magic doesn't exist, or that she can't actually see the future, mostly because her readings aren't as accurate as her twin's. She'd never let anyone know that, though, and she's very defensive of her powers. It's known that she can combine her powers with Aruna's when they meditate together, allowing Aruna to see further into the future and pick up details she might've otherwise missed. Aires frightens easily, transforming into a gray catbird when she feels like she's in danger. She hates being touched and will transform if someone touches her without asking first. She's very fussy about her appearance and is known to spend a decent amount of time each morning getting ready for work. She has strong associative synesthesia and assigns colours to just about everything. She currently works for Garrison Inc. as a seer alongside Aruna, handling anything that requires talking. She often does small readings around HQ and will help Aruna meditate while their co-workers are on missions.
Aires is deaf, but "hears" through Aruna. She's able to use Aruna's hearing when they're within 5 meters of one another. She knows sign language for situations where she's away from Aruna.

Moodboard
Divination
Aires is able to read the future through tarot, star charts and meditating with Aruna. It's not known exactly how their meditative divination works, but Aires assists Aruna by lending her power. Aires specifically reads tarot and is able to read star charts, but prefers working with immediate questions rather than infinite timelines. Aires's readings often focus on smaller details, as opposed to Aruna's which show the bigger picture. Aires is somewhat accurate with her readings and is often in the realm of being correct, but has a habit of overlooking the obvious.
Shapeshifting
Aires is able to shapeshift into various forms, favouring small birds. Her main form is the grey catbird, but when she voluntarily shapeshifts she'll often choose a bird that's common to the area she's in. She only ever fully transforms her body into another form: while she has the power to only shift parts of her form she refuses to do so. She prefers small, real animals and avoids fantasy creatures.
Nightmare Manipulation
While she never uses this power, Aires has the ability to induce nightmares in a target that's sleeping or unconscious. This allows her to enter and control nightmares as long as she knows where her target is, and that they're sleeping. She's quite afraid of this power and thinks it's immoral.
Corruption Inducement
Another power that Aires refuses to use is the ability to transfer some of her demonic energy to another being, which will slowly consume them and eventually turn them into a demon if left unchecked. This lowers Aires's own demonic power and is something she cannot get back, but she also thinks this power is imoral and never uses it.
Aires thinks the absolute world of Aruna and would do anything for her. She's not bothered by Aruna's silence, since she's able to see what her sister is thinking when they meditate together. She won't admit it, but Aires is somewhat jealous of Aruna's divination abilities and wishes her own could be as powerful. Aires relies on Aruna both as an emotional support and a means of hearing. She considers them inseparable and is rarely seen far from Aruna's side.
Aires is intrigued by Hecate and wishes the two could get to know one another better. Although she'll never admit it, she's a bit afraid of Hecate because it's difficult to get a reading on her. She does enjoy social outings with Hecate, and the fact that she responds when spoken to. Although there's a lot about Hecate that she doesn't understand, Aires is glad to call her a friend.
Aires finds Wilder overwhelming, often finding herself wishing they'd stop talking. While she appreciates when they ask her to do tarot readings she thinks their questions aren't worth asking, but deals cards anyway because she enjoys the attention. Wilder is the first person Aires has been hesitant to get to know or talk to more simply because she finds their ego overpowering.
Aires appreciates that Boreal is a good listener, but feels he gets fed up with her when they're around one another for more than a few minutes. Aires is a bit self conscious around him because of this, often trying to speak less so she doesn't bother him. She desperately wants to know what he thinks of her, but her tarot readings on him aren't very clear because she doesn't have much to work with.
Aires finds Pythios too dangerous to be around and doesn't trust him not to run up and hug her. While she appreciates his cheery outlook she doesn't like any of the thrill-seeking activities he often tries to get everyone involved with. She hates to admit this, but she does avoid him around HQ and is a bit scared of him.
