Personality

Aurélia is a businesswoman who owns and manages several houses and property left by her parents, indicating she and Octavia may have come from a well-to-do family. While she can be stern to Cécile and expects her to be ladylike, she does have a playful side and and can be nonchalant about certain etiquette within the Rey household.

Aurélia and Octavia were orphaned in their youth and taken in by Sister Beatrice at Holy Trinity Orphanage sometime before Aurélia's marriage to Jean-Claude. Aurélia's father was a friend of Grand-père, which is how she met Jean-Claude.[1]
