Backstory
Built in 1986 for The Gilded Gear Playhouse by Julie Entertainment, Aurelia was designed as a theatrical villain character—kidnapping royalty, battling heroes, and losing on cue.
She embraced the role too well.
In 1990, an overheat during an exaggerated performance triggered a catastrophic fire that destroyed the playhouse. Aurelia was severely damaged and placed into storage.
Now she occasionally reactivates at night, replaying fragments of old shows with no audience.
