Aria

Background/Bio

Aria remembers next to nothing. Her only persistent memory is of floating in some dark void. She's not even sure for how long. There might have been a light, it's all a bit vague.

And not only are her past memories missing, she is unable to form new ones. Her short-term memory seems to be good, but with time anything new she experiences or learns fades away and is forgotten again. On occasion, she has also been known to just immediately forget it all in an instant.

At some point in the past, she seems to have overcome this limitation by starting to write a book of her experiences, from which she can remind herself of important things until she next forgets. This book contains everything from where she lives to information about the city, the people she meets and what food she keeps, and proves vital on adventures to remind her of what she's trying to do and whom she travels with.

Whilst she has no memories of her experiences, she still seems to remember by instinct some of the things that are second nature to a city-dweller, such as the name of the city's currency. Her procedural memory is also very good, and she has an exceptional skill with knives, moving instinctively and reflexively to eliminate potential threats, though she does not recall where these skills come from. She has also been known to experience a sense of familiarity on seeing some scenes, such as an alchemy lab or a magic sign, but has no actual memories to back up these feelings.
