A ref sheet of Marie Aurore, MC of an upcoming book, Babylon Today

The Belle Grande Princesse

The Aryan Royale

The Snowflower

She's a character who has fascinated me for 16 years now, but I've only recently fully committed to realizing. Designed to be as elite as possible to make her actual beliefs as ironic as possible and her storyline as stark as possible. So of course, she has to be a genetically modified post-human, so gene-modded that she is actually of an entirely separate genus and incapable of even mothering a child with a Homo sapiens (or anyone from our genus), and her blood is filled with respirocytes (if a Sapiens had her blood transfused, we'd convulse and die of oxygen poisoning within half an hour!). Essentially literal manifestation of ancien regime-style beliefs of being of pure blood and a separate species beyond the common rabble, so much so to the point that egalitarian ideals fall apart with her. If someone out there is genuinely, objectively "superior," how does egalitarianism work?

For good measure, she's of provably ancient Roman patrician blood. The haute-elite of Eurasia have spent centuries dreaming of such a lineage and resigned themselves that pre-Carolingian late-Antiquity is the furthest any bloodline can be proven. But nope, hers provably dates back 3 centuries before Christ, from the gallic-Veneto region.

As pureblood royal-noble the Aryan Royale could possible be.

So of course she should also turn out to be a radical egalitarian radical leftist. Dirty woke Marxist! And she's committed. Entire global capitalist system vs 1 commie Aryan teen and her chatbot: who wins?

So how did that happen? Well, you'll just have to wait and see.

This particular piece isn't the best, and the best representations of Aurore are AI slop

But I just wanted something done by someone with an actual soul!

"Do you have to call her that though? Aryan Royale?"

Actually yes. In universe, she really is considered to be an "Aryan" since it's not a racial mythology but an actual new genus ("Novanthropus"). For what it's worth, she and others try to discredit that term in lieu of "Nova." Doesn't work, so it leads to hilariously awkward moments...
