Aureola is an NPC in Arknights. She is a supporting character in The Masses' Travels.
Background[edit]
Aureola is a Lateran woman proficient in the use of heavy armor and firearms, held back by her mild temper and an albeit extremist approach to situations. Having lost her patron firearm, she relies on a Blacksteel sniper rifle to take her enemies from afar, but she enjoys resorting on more violent tactics. Due to her status as a Fallen Sankta, Aureola grew sympathetic towards other Sankta in the same situation as hers, regardless of their actions or crimes.
Aureola is the former captain of the Apostolic Knights' Third Squadron, considered Gun-Knight Patrizion's most valuable student. In winter of 1090, she was sent to escort a caravan in the wilderness near Kazdel, clashing with Sarkaz mercenaries in the process. The mission was succesfully completed and the Sarkaz were detained, but the mobile monastery they were heading to was damaged by a Catastrophe on the way back, and the detained Sarkaz took the chance to free themselves. This led to a riot where the Sarkaz were finally executed in the spot, but Aureola threatened the authorities who were trying to accurately record the mission report, in order to cover up the culpability of the Gun-Knights' employed force during the mission. Out of pure anger, Aureola killed her collegues and the escorted Lateran citizens, thus "falling" as a result.[1][2][3]
By the time the Lateran Curia's envoys arrived, they reported several casualities from Aureola's part. Patrizion later led his team to clean up the mess and excommunicate Aureola, not without personally beating her first for her crimes.[4][5][2] Before her exile, he told her that Laterano might give her a chance to return if she ever repents for her crimes, to which she simply refused. Aureola hasn't been heard ever since the incident, but kept her Gun-Knightess armor and eventually travelled to Bolívar, where she would meet Sister Nueda, a local nun. After helping Nueda save her monastery from the Singas dynasty' nobles, the two began to walk together alongside the monastery's residents —Many of which being Sankta who weren't born in Laterano— as they fled the country and head to the Holy City, hoping that they could find peace of mind. Not only Nueda sees Aureola as a friend, but also a reliable bodyguard.[6][7]

Trivia[edit]
- Aureola has the following distinctions:
- She is the first known female Apostolic Knight to appear, as well as the first Fallen Sankta member.
- She is the first Sankta with a non-circular halo, instead having a more rhombus-like shape. It also ressembles that of Ogata Kanna from Blue Archive, albeit in a different color and angle.
- The sniper rifle she uses ressembles a Denel NTW-20.
- Aureola's armor closely ressembles that of the Goblin Slayer.
