Aurelia Le Guin-Kitagawa (1 June 1970) is a Erebonian officer and the head of the Le Guin family. She is one of the most prominent Erebonian nobles.

A daughter of an Erebonian noble, Aurelia is one of Erebonia's foremost swordswomen and fencer. She is a known student of the Arseid School of Swordsmanship. Apart from this, she is also the wife of Lucian Field Marshal Kiriya Kitagawa, whom she had unwittingly betrayed during the Erebonian Civil War. While Aurelia had strived to be one of Erebonia's most powerful and influential figures, her husband had fought against the nobility since his early days serving Erebonia.

During the final days of the civil war, she engaged in a bitter duel with her husband, who didn't possess any swordsmanship skills but was able to outsmart her, thanks to his special forces training and instinct. Following her defeat at the hands of her husband, she retired from military life, fearing that Kiriya would go after and arrest her. Instead, Kiriya showed clemency and forgave her sins, something which had shocked many of Kiriya's colleagues. Kiriya used his influence to have Emperor Eugent Reize Arnor III appoint her as the Principal of the Thors Branch Campus, which she accepted.

Aurelia mended her relationship with her husband and soon afterwards, was involved in helping him with future operations. Although her family had lost influence following the end of the nobility, she continued to be an influential figure in Thors Academy.

Early Life

Aurelia was born to a proud Erebonian noblility, the Le Guin family, which is one of the closest allies of the House Cayenne, one of Erebonia's 4 Greatest Noble Families. Possessing beauty and brains, many nobles sought her hand in marriage, which she bluntly refused. She entered the Thors Military Academy in 1986. During this time, one of her professors, a young Colonel Kiriya Kitagawa noticed her fascination for swordsmanship and combat. Kiriya invited her on one occasion to spar. Despite her professor not possessing any form of swordsmanship skills, she was rather impressed with his ability to fight, even as she had disarmed him. Their sparring ended in a no-contest but became the start of a beautiful relationship, which later on blossomed into romance.

During the Post-War of Lorican Aggression Crisis, Her father, serving as the commander of the Lamarre Provincial Army, was wounded in the conflict. As a result, the academy gave her special permission to graduate in a single year to succeed her father. After her graduation in 1990, she joined the provincial army as its new commanding officer.

Personal Life

Aurelia was the former student of Kiriya in 1988. Even after she had graduated, she and him continuously sparred and bonded throughout Kiriya's tenure as headmaster of Thors Military Academy. What initially was a student-teacher relationship blossomed into romance when Kiriya began dating Aurelia in 1992. Despite her duties in the army, she was free to visit him in Fort Daidoji. Whenever Kiriya was away in duty, she stayed in Legram, training and constantly sparring with Kiriya's cousin, Victor S. Arseid.

Aurelia has a very serious attitude towards her job and her devotion to her swordsmanship. She is considered to be one of the strongest personalities in Erebonia. She enjoys sparring and takes any chance to train. She also loves fighting skilled foes, eager to see what they have in store for her. In part due to her reputation and strength, Aurelia has an intense air around her while addressing others, which particularly skileld combatants can sense. Many had concluded, even Kiriya's cousin, that the only one who was stronger than her was Kiriya himself. Though Arseid noted that Kiriya did not possess any swordsmanship skills, he was particularly cunning and skilled, especially as far as hand-to-hand combat was concerned. He was logically smarter and more knowledgeable than her.

Aurelia bore Kiriya's first son, which they named Yamato in 1993. Eventually, Kiriya proposed to her, which she accepted. The two were married in 1994 while Aurelia was in her second pregnancy. Their second son was born in the same year, whom they named Naoto. The two had 2 more children; Yukari, born in 1996 and Katsuragi, born in 1998.
