Aurora Blake ~ "I know you're afraid. But fear is a demon. Close your eyes, tell yourself that you are not afraid. That is how you slay the demon".

Aurora Blake is the deceased mother of both Octavia and Bellamy Blake. She was "floated" for having a second child, Octavia, an act that is forbidden on The Ark, and is punishable by death. It is said she managed to keep it a secret for 16 years, the biggest record on The Ark.

Octavia and Aurora cared for each other greatly, like any mother and daughter would. She blames her brother Bellamy for her mother's death.

Bellamy was Aurora's first born, They seem to have a very close relationship when Bellamy was young, perhaps due to the fact that Aurora appears to be a single mother. As Bellamy gets older, he seems to disapprove of his mother's actions in order to keep Octavia a secret and get Bellamy a job. He blames his sister Octavia for his mother's death.

Aurora is a loving mother, one willing to risk her life for her childs safety, even becoming a prostitute in order to prevent Octavia's discovery, by being aware of surprise inspections on The Ark . Although she is kind, she can be stern, especially when her children act out.
