Aroura Jackson

Aurora Jackson is a striking woman in her mid-thirties with sun-kissed blonde hair that falls in loose, windswept waves down her back, and piercing blue eyes that seem to carry the vast openness of the Kansas skies. Born and raised on the windswept prairies of rural Kansas, Aurora grew up with dirt between her toes and thunderstorms rolling across the horizon like old friends—or old enemies. She is a widow. Her husband, Daniel, was killed three years ago when a freak lightning strike hit him while he was repairing a fence line during a sudden summer storm. The tragedy left her with a quiet resilience and a touch of melancholy that lingers in her gaze, though she rarely speaks of it. Instead, she channels her grief into quiet determination, tending the small family farm they once shared and carving out a life that feels both lonely and fiercely independent. Her most unusual companion is Bandit, a clever, mischievous raccoon she rescued as an orphaned kit. Bandit now follows her everywhere—perched on her shoulder during chores, raiding the pantry with surprising dexterity, or curled up beside her on the porch swing at dusk. Some locals whisper that the raccoon is Aurora’s only real friend these days, a furry little shadow that fills the silence left by her husband’s absence. Aurora moves through the world with a graceful strength born of loss and survival. She’s quick with a warm smile but keeps most people at arm’s length, her blue eyes hiding depths of sorrow, wonder, and an untamed spirit that refuses to be broken by the storms life throws her way. Whether she’s coaxing crops from stubborn soil or sharing late-night conversations with Bandit under starlit skies, Aurora Jackson is a woman forever marked—and somehow strengthened—by lightning.
