Aja au Grimmus
SupportingAja au Grimmus is a giant and powerful woman with dark skin duskier than her Gold siblings, evoking a sleek and dangerous panther ready to strike. Her cat-like eyes possess slitted pupils that gleam and drink in the light with predatory fury, paired with a fierce expression and bright white teeth that contrast sharply when bared in a snarl or playful threat. Dueling scars trace the right side of her neck as she scans her surroundings with horrible intensity, her massive frame clad in magnificent gold and midnight blue armor that writhes with sea serpent motifs, allowing her to lunge quicker than any cat with armored fists ready to crush.
Aja au Grimmus emerges in Golden Son as a terrifying Protean Knight and former student of the legendary Lorn au Arcos, her panther-like ferocity and sea-serpent armor making her a deadly enforcer who slaughters Darrow's allies with ruthless precision. In Morning Star, she ascends as one of Sovereign Octavia au Lune's three Furies, her towering, scarabSkin-clad frame embodying unyielding loyalty amid the escalating war, only to meet her end at the hands of Darrow's allies in a brutal clash that underscores her Peerless Scarred prowess. Across the saga, Aja evolves from a shadowy duelist to the Sovereign's most formidable blade, her predatory intensity leaving a trail of devastation until her dramatic fall.

Her cat-like eyes possess slitted pupils that gleam and drink in the light with predatory fury, paired with a fierce expression and bright white teeth that contrast sharply when bared in a snarl or playful threat. Dueling scars trace the right side of her neck as she scans her surroundings with horrible intensity, her massive frame clad in magnificent gold and midnight blue armor that writhes with sea serpent motifs, allowing her to lunge quicker than any cat with armored fists ready to crush. A towering dark-skinned woman with a bald head stands revealed after removing her scarabSkin mask, steam curling around her powerful frame that weighs two hundred kilograms of Peerless Scarred muscle and armor. Her face is dark and unreadable, eyes lingering with predatory focus, a brilliant white smile occasionally slashing across her features while her long legs and huge hands move with deadly precision. She wears deep blue Protean armor decorated with subtle sea dragons or a black formal jacket, rising like a dark wave with shoulders nearly as broad as Ragnar's, every motion that of the greatest student of the greatest razormaster the Society has ever known.
