Oh yeah! Aure was not based on my ex. Their names are similar admittedly. Aure's original name was going to be Ari Morales, but Ari sounded too similar to Aria Lunaris who we already met as Awe-Woman in Writer's Block Issue #3. Also Aure isn't hispanic so I did a slight name change: Aure DuVane which fits better because Nick Twisp (Youth in Revolt) and Joe Goldberg (You) both have a thing for women with dramatic names. Aure is based physically on a former crush of mine from many moons ago. I'll never share whom. Hehe.
