Ah, yes, our lovely heroine of the story itself. Note: Where it mentions “real world” in the reference, I meant Aerina’s hometown. Please do not be confused!
Notes and Credits: ❝Sometimes I feel as if she’s an adult whenever I talk to her, she’s always so serious. But isn't it strange that she trusts so easily behind that shell?❞ -Leo (Aerina's friend) Aerina Locke is the main protagonist of A Grim Tale, unaware of the existence of magic until later in the story. She’s generally quiet, and kind of a pessimist, but if one truly gets to know her, she is actually quite polite and friendly. In fact, she can trust easily - a bit too easily. Some people use this for their own advantages. Sometimes Aerina tends to fantasize about romance, along with other fantastical things, thus earning the nickname “hopeless romantic,” which is a pity because the one person whom she loves suffers something quite tragic. For some reason, she seems to cause bad luck to herself and others. This is the cause of The Narrator’s drudgery towards her. Although she looks down on civilization in the city (unnamed city), she finds The Floating Kingdom very interesting.

It never happened. It's obviously a facade." "Mom... Dad... I'm sorry, I'm so, so, so sorry for leaving you like that... I shouldn't have left you... I was so scared and... I miss you! I missed you so much!" "Stop blaming it on me! It's not my fault you were born this way! I'm not a villain, you know! Look at yourself, [???]. You were once a great person. You were the one who planted the seed. What have you become?" "Who are you...?" Notes: - Her parents are different from one another. Red, Aerina’s mother, is overprotective, and even a little obsessive. Aerina tends to be a little uncomfortable around her because of that. But they still love each other nevertheless. - However, they harbor a closer relationship than that of Aerina and her father. He is cold and distant from his wife and daughter, but in reality loves them with a lot his so-called “steel” heart. Aerina doesn’t like him that much because he has an explosive temper. - After Leo’s death, Aerina became more hard to trust. Obviously she remained distant, but to a greater extent. Her personality began to resemble that of her mother, paranoid and untrusting. Along with that, she never spoke about the Floating Kingdom, regretting her decisions to escape her “abusive” parents. - Actually attends a private school. Her mother inherited a lot of money from her parents; they used to run a famous company that was soon shut down. - Best friends are Renee and Leo. She met them in middle school. Also used to be best friends with Benjamin (who actually introduced her to Leo) but became closer to Renee and Leo instead. - There's a reason why she looks so nervous. - If I do publish the story, then I will change her eye color to grey. It's more realistic. - Aerina is a storybook character, not a real person in The Narrator's world. She's just made up. But it's not known until the end.
