Biography
As one of Beta's Natural Fragments, Aite's life has been embroiled in conflict since he first opened his eyes. First, with the wave of wars and struggle for territory among the people of Beta - a series of violent and bloody conflicts that only stilled once power had firmly consolidated under Beta's seven Natural Fragments. Well aware that he was outmatched among most of the competition in terms of raw magical power, Aite took to a different source of stability: information. Obsessive about collecting it in secret, he seeks to take advantage of every economic opportunity that he can, proving himself a useful asset. It helps that, during Beta's conquest of Gamma, he managed to gain control over most of the augmetia mines - a precious resource that Beta utilizes to remain somewhat stable.
One would think that Aite's position would be relatively comfortable as the ever-eager source of augmetia. But Aite has a terrible streak in him - enjoying and indulging in teasing others at best, torturing them at worst. His sadism is a poorly-kept secret, but a well-maintained aspect of his identity - never going so far as to threaten his position or life, but still a fact that the other Frags must deal with if they want access to augmetia and his other resources.

♥♥♥♥♡ Zirconia
Relationship: Dating
A relationship that fills Aite with strange feelings. He and Zirconia had never been on the best of terms before Zirc's 'conquest' of Theta - in fact, Aite would happily wager that he was the closest thing to Zirc had to an enemy. Yet, after Theta softened Zirc up into a... unsightly pudding, somehow they... became close. Some sort of protective instinct or another. At first, Aite merely agreed to Zirc's affections to secure himself a place in the budding alliance between him and Czenete. But, as time has worn on, Aite finds himself... almost comfortable in Zirc's presence? Almost happy to see him, tail wagging? Ugh. He'd rather not think about it.

♥♥♥♡♡ Amirasya
Relationship: Coworker
One of his fellow Beta Fragments, avoidant and anxious. Does anyone else know how deep the paranoia runs in Amira, hmm? Aite supposes not - if they did, more would be taking advantage of it. Like him! It's quite simple to carefully imply or suggest a handful of things to get Amira's agreements on such precious seafloor things like skyquartz... the kind of materials he'd make a pretty penny reselling!

♥♥♡♡♡ Czenete
Relationship: "Coworker"
The only thing holding Aite back from considering Czenete a terrifying force of power and magic is the fact that he is utterly, completely and wholly, dedicated to Zirconia. And with Zirc "in love" with Aite, that means he's relatively safe from Czenete. Not that he's seen Czenete angry often... it's simply - well, the few times he has were more than enough to sour his feelings. He's glad Zirc serves as a buffer between them - not that he'd tell Zirc that.

♥♥♥♡♡ Aryl
Relationship: Social Friends?
Aryl is an easy-to-manipulate lonely little thing that jumps for joy every time a Fragment visits... not that Aite visits often. But it's easy to extract whatever he needs from Aryl, with just an offered kiss or wink, which means Aite likes him considerably more than he likes most people.

♥♡♡♡♡ Szeretet
Relationship: Acquaintance
Aite can respect the hustle for information that Szeretet employs, with his legion of spying bugs. But it's terribly disappointing to know that it's being squandered on... what, some fanciful idea of crime-stopping? Please. If he had so many constructs... a network of eyes everywhere like that... actually, making them constructs would've been dangerous. Back to the drawing board.

♥♡♡♡♡ Jubilee
Relationship: Coworker (derogatory)
None in Beta are fond of the Coalition of Reality. And though Jubilee is not the COR as a whole, he is certainly a well-respected public face of it. Aite is polite to him in person and respects Jubilee as a politician, but wouldn't shed a tear if he happened to... oh, maybe drop dead tomorrow.

♡♡♡♡♡ Meyp
Relationship: whatever
Oh, yes, he knows all about Zirc's little pets from Theta - a menagerie of soft-hearted little idealists who haven't the faintest idea about reality. He doesn't regret harming Meyp to needle Zirc, even after their relationship developed, but he keeps away now out of respect for Zirc.
Trivia
- Aite's controlled regions in Beta comprise the northernmost mountains and the valleys around them.

- His best-kept secret is that he owns a plethora of birds, primarily domestic fowl. His favorite is a chicken named Penelopeep.
- Aite's real voice is much more subdued, smooth, and tired-sounding. He puts on a loud and obnoxious sing-songy tone to be bothersome.
