PAST
Aurora (Rori) Juniper Willows was born on August 11th, 1990. A leo baby if there ever was going to be one. The stars aligned on that blistering summer day for Aurora to land, not with her biological mother who ended up leaving her at a hospital with not even so much as a note, but with that of the wonderful Willows family. Growing up, Aurora wanted for nothing, finding the breeze catching each blade of grass one by one in a field of wheat to satisfy her every whim. And soon with that came this need to paint and draw everything in sight, though nothing could compare to the real thing, she did all that she could to capture the feeling onto a once blank canvas. Being homeschooled on their family farm allowed her to follow through on her whims with very little defiance. Having all of this freedom allowed Aurora to grow within her art and develop a wandering and whimsical soul which she greatly cherishes. She often likes to joke that she is a witch though, she only means that in ways where she feels deeply connected to the earth and nature around her. When she was 6, her father got Aurora her very own kitten. A formative day in Aurora's life for she has never once looked back on her deep affinity for the nature and wonder of cats.
When she was told that she was adopted on her tenth birthday, Aurora did not fully understand what that meant though she knew it was something that was decidedly somewhat more serious than the rest of her life had been up until that point. It nagged and gnawed at her through her teenage years even though she knows who her real family and parents are. She is incredibly grateful to them for giving her the amazing and beautiful life that she has but it is always still there, floating around her like a moon beam that she could only hope to hold in hand one day. That is, if she got up the courage to actually take the time to figure out who her birth parents might be. Growing up on the family farm was wonderful but she certainly delighted in the moments when she would get to go into town as well. Selling at the Farmer's Market and observing all there was to see beyond their home had always been a treasured moment of hers and she quickly became a regular at the Farmer's Market each weekend. One of those weekends when she was 22, a man came up to her offering his card as he was modeling agent hoping to have discovered his next great muse. And Aurora, unable to curb the enthusiasm over the idea of embarking on her next great adventure didn't waste much time before making a call.
While modeling was never a career path Aurora could've ever imagined for herself, there was something about a more structured life that she'd always been drawn to. Though she could never see herself giving up her connections with animals, nature, and the stars, a part of her did want to see how the other half lived. It was also surprisingly fulfilling to be able to earn a living for herself. As soon as she had enough money she moved out of her parents house, she found an apartment downtown. When she is not on a job, Aurora can most often be found, selling food at the Farmer's Market, delivering food to different restaurants and markets downtown, playing with kitties and volunteering at the local animal shelter, She's also been known to be quite the partier as she's always down for a good time. Substances are no stranger to her as altering the mind can lead to her most creative whims which she will always act on. After all, what's life without all that fun? The wind always seems to blow her towards her next great adventure.
PRESENT
Recently, Aurora’s normally up beat and life loving attitude has taken some hits. The Annual Fireman’s Ball was a traumatizing experience for the woman that she never managed to fully deal with. The woman has been drinking quite a bit more these days, throwing caution entirely to the wind. She’s been able to hide it for the most part from those close to her, her partying ways not being anything new to them as it was. This trauma was then added to with the earthquake that struck Fallbrook in the summer of 2021. A building collapsed on her when the ferris wheel she was on was thrust into it. While the woman has recovered physically, some of the light in her eyes seemed to have dimmed quite substantially. Aurora is working through all of this while also trying to figure out where life is going to take her next. Jobless and aimless, she’s hoping that her path in life will reveal itself soon enough. Because she isn’t sure how much longer she can keep herself grounded.
