She was always sure of herself and confident. She was strong yet sensitive; if any of her sisters had a problem, she would listen and help them with the situation. Auxo was a very intelligent young woman; she was very clever at getting the four of them out of a sticky situation. Eirene was by far the prettiest of them all, yet she herself wasn’t at all narcissistic. She was selfless and made the best of whatever life sent her way.
