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 debuts in Golden Son as a colossal, panther-like Praetorian Knight whose predatory grace and razor skills—honed as Lorn au Arcos's star pupil—make her the Sovereign's most feared enforcer against Darrow's insurgency. By Morning Star she has risen to Olympic Knight and one of Octavia's three Furies, her bald, two-hundred-kilogram frame clad in Protean sea-dragon armor continuing to carve through rebel ranks with lethal precision. Her arc culminates in her death at the hands of Darrow's allies, the once-unstoppable Fury finally broken by the very rebellion she was sworn to crush.

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.
