Aurora was announced to join the list of Paragon Heroes on Jan-26 with the reveal trailer below and became available on Jan-31 with the .37 update. Aurora's code-name is Ice and here is her ice sword that was teased prior to the announcement trailer.
Aurora is an elusive, crowd control specialist whose abilities allow her to manipulate the cold. A powerful initiator, Aurora uses the cold to freeze her enemies and take control of the battle.
