Hope it’s ok to send random asks but I’m wondering does Aurora enjoy her birthdays? What are her favourite/least favourite parts about them

Random Asks

I'm always happy to get asks about Aurora! I'm just not very good about responding to them -pointedly looks away from the ask about her relationship with Lucien that's been sitting in my inbox for months-

Your question is also timely because Aurora's birthday is in about a month!

As a human, Aurora hated her birthday because her mother died giving birth to her, and she therefore blamed herself (I'm sure that the Count did as well). Aurora then spent her next hundred birthdays believing herself to be Rebekah. I think "hating" her birthday is something that helped Aurora distinguish "Aurora" from "Rebekah." I also think at that point it was difficult for her to know exactly when her birthday was, and to this day, Aurora does not know exactly when her birthday is except in very specific modern human verses where Aurora would absolutely be a basic birthday month type of princess. Honestly, it's a running joke on my blog at this point that if someone asks Aurora how old she is/when her birthday is, she just directs them to Tristan who does, in fact, know exactly when Aurora's birthday is. In verses with Lex, Tristan spoils Aurora excessively so she that is usually her favorite part of her birthday.

#this icon is from the scene where klaus brings rory birthday flowers #but she was by herself crying in the club #also #i know aurora's whole birth chart apart from houses #bc i had decided her sun and moon #and then i was talking to bory and hannah about our character's natal charts #and then i figured out aurora's likely mercury and venus #and then for funsies i picked a probable year and threw it into the site i use for birth charts #just hoping to get an idea of her pluto by throwing in a couple different years #but then the first year i tried pulled up a chart that matched the exact year she was born #spoiler alert its 985 #except in some verses with bory i guess #;;headcanons
