Latin for 'sun', though she bears little resemblance; she was a beast of warrior, fitted with armor and chains and bid to carry infantry and materials to and from the battlefield, while performing herself aerial combat.

Instead, she fled the breeding grounds and flew far and farther still. Where her journeys took her, no one knows.
