Due to their Ghost half, Aida's appearance borrows traits from many different species, notably the subspecies of Exan and Atherian found in Rit Shiin.

Their torso and head are those of a rat rodin, with short white fur from head to waist, rounded ears, and a wrinkled snout. They have arms like a mortuexan, reaching past their knees with bony fingers tipped by thin, sharp claws; their rodin fur turns to bare silver skin at the shoulders with no feathers in sight. Their legs, on the other hand, are borrowed from a reptin, covered in pale green scales from the waist down and ending in three-toed feet. They have no tail, however.

Finally, their wings come from a Seraph, bird-like with thick white feathers. Between the wings and their natural Spirit levitation, Aida is more than capable of prolonged flight with strong lift and diving abilities. Unlike a typical Seraph, they are not able to alter their form in any way.

Aida believes everything they do is of the utmost importance. They are always working tirelessly on some project or another, and they don't know how to take a break and just relax. Their mind often leaps from one topic to another with no sense of consistency, making them appear scatterbrained, but don't let that fool you: they are always on top of every issue at hand, no matter how many they're juggling. It can be difficult for others to get along with them regardless. They are out of touch with modern society in general after spending centuries alone with their various Trusteds. If they can be convinced to pay attention, however, their keen attention to detail and superb memory make learning new things a breeze.

Various wooden wands and staves

Aida has had plenty of time to perfect their Space magic. They use their wand collection for pinpoint precision in their casting, and dodge attacks effortlessly with their natural spirit powers and strength of flight. When faced with a sufficiently powerful opponent, they are not afraid to get underhanded with their magic, up to and including forcing a portal closed with a target still inside.

Aida was born following the Great Hereafteran Massacre, and they live hundreds of years in the future, separated from the rest of Zetan history. Thanks to the knowledge they've received from Seraphim souls, Aida is fully aware of the existence of other Realms, and has even cracked the secrets of Space Magic required to travel between them. They prefer not to stick with others of "their kind" in The Hereafter, instead traveling around Zeta's many living Realms, intent on forging their own path.

They are responsible for the creation of the Brigade Relic that gave the Brigade their powers, and the AIDA Cubes that occasionally make their way into other beings' hands and grant a single use of inter-Realm travel. Much of their work was lost, however, after the Aida Spacetime Incident. They play a major role in the Central Time Loop.

"I much prefer to be in wise company. Ambition without wisdom begets stagnancy in tradition, and that is one thing I will NOT stand for."

"I treat them with the same respect I expect to be treated with in turn."

"I see most compliments as insincere."

"No, I much prefer others' hands to be as FAR from me as possible."

"I would like the other Seraphim to leave me alone! Far too many of them believe they know best for me, that they somehow understand what it's like to BE me and what my true place in the world is. Let it be known that I will eke out my existence on my OWN, thank you very much!"

"Bah, romance. A fool's errand. While I appreciate that my trusted keeps an eye on my health, I do NOT trust anyone else with my emotions. I will, however, admit that Ioniss cheerfully respects my boundaries and helps with my work WITHOUT getting in my way, and I am grateful to them for that."
