Twilight Tarot
Aruna is mostly silent, only speaking when she deems it cosmically appropriate. She spends most of her time meditating, listening to what the stars tell her. She doesn't actively do much with the information she's given but will step in on occasion to prevent something possibly tragic from happening. It's never really known if she's acting on her own volition, or if she really did forsee tradegy. She doesn't emote and speaks in monotone, leaving socialising to her twin Aires. While she appears to be emotionless she does care deeply for her sister and mostly lets her know when Aires joins her meditations. She can use Aires's powers to amplify her own, seeing further into the future and picking up on smaller details she may have overlooked. Because Aruna relies so heavily on Aires for social interactions, when her sister is spooked and transforms into a bird Aruna often does the same, taking on the form of a black catbird.
Aruna is blind, but "sees" through Aires. She's able to use Aires's sight when they're within 5 meters of one another. She has a cane for situations where she's away from Aires.

Moodboard
Divination
Aruna is able to read the future through meditating, star charts and tarot. It's not known exactly how their meditative divination works, but Aires assists Aruna by lending her power. Aruna specifically hears from the stars directly and is able to read star charts, but prefers working with the vast future rather than immediate questions. Aruna's readings focus on the big picture, as opposed to Aires's which show the finer details. Aruna is quite accurate with her readings and is often correct about the overall direction, but misses smaller points.
Shapeshifting
Aruna is able to shapeshift into various forms, favouring small birds. Her main form is the black catbird, but when she voluntarily shapeshifts she'll often choose a bird that's common to the area she's in. She mostly transforms her whole body, but will sometimes shift specific parts to give herself the senses of different animals.
Nightmare Manipulation
While she never uses this power, Aruna 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 doesn't care for this power.
Corruption Inducement
Another power that Aruna never 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 Aruna's own demonic power and is something she cannot get back, but she also thinks this power is useless.
Aruna loves Aires, but thinks she's very overbearing and doesn't always like that Aires does everything for her. Aruna is fully capable of taking care of herself in all aspects but social situations, and while she appreciates having help with chores she does like time to herself as well. She never wants to see Aires get hurt so she keeps this to herself. She would never forgive herself if anything came between them and does everything she can to make sure Aires is safe.
Aruna desperately wants to be better friends with Hecate, but has no idea how to approach social situations. She enjoys the same music as Hecate and often steals her CDs. Aruna is impressed by Hecate's power and relates to her hatred of being on camera, but does find her attitude a bit intimidating. She never wants to find herself on Hecate's bad side, so she's very careful about the advice she gives.
Aruna wishes Wilder would stop popping up in her visions, because they already have to deal with present Wilder enough. She gets fed up with them trying to befriend her, but doesn't have the guts to tell them to shut up. She knows Wilder's motivations behind speaking to her and understands why they are the way they are, but that knowledge doesn't help the fact that she finds them annoying.
Aruna doesn't think much of Boreal, appreciating that he's also quiet but not having much more to go on. She feels that he feels awkward around him and tries to avoid him so he doesn't feel uncomfortable.
Aruna finds Pythios funny, but doesn't like how scared he makes Aires feel. She's always on edge around him because of Aires and hasn't had the chance to properly process his presence without Aires's emotions clouding her thoughts.
