Aria wasn’t always Aria. Born Alex, she had grown up in a rigid family that refused to see her for who she was. At school, Aria kept her head low, a blend of caution and quiet defiance. Transitioning was an uphill battle; it had cost her friendships and family connections. But Aria had one source of solace: fashion.

Aria was drawn to her confidence and stayed behind after the performance. Leona caught Aria staring at her sketches and invited her to sit.
