Relationships[edit]
Lark[edit]
Seemingly on good terms with her co-leader.
Breakthrough[edit]
Dido has collaborated with the then unnamed hero team once, in a one-off assist during the Cedar Point operation. Her personality and handling of the situation left some of its members unsure about her reliability, though she was ultimately successful.
History[edit]
Early-Ward[edit]
Was not present for Victoria's job interview with Auzure, which was conducted by Lark. The co-leader mentioned that Victoria would meet Dido soon, if all went well.<ref name="2.1">Flare 2.1</ref>
Later her team became involved with a new hero team's handling of Cedar Point.<ref name="4.2">Shade 4.2</ref> Her part involved calling a civilian landlord under the thumb of Prancer in order to spook him into reporting to the villain, which allowed the fledgling hero group locate him and spy. Auzure received information in exchange for this assistance.<ref name="4.7">Shade 4.7</ref>
When questioned, Dido provided some information about the threat of war with Earth Cheit, claiming that she and Auzure were involved in dealing with the situation, but not among those calling the shots, and that she believed the war was inevitable.<ref name="4.7 e2">Shade 4.7</ref>
Post-Fallen fall[edit]
Dido, along with the rest of Auzure, attended the hero meeting called by Dragon and Defiant to discuss the terror attacks against the portals.<ref name="8.1">Beacon 8.1</ref>
Post-Goddess' Takeover[edit]
Dido and Lark represented Auzure in the hero meeting called by Breakthrough following a gruesome incident with The Navigators, a smaller team that was also part of Breakthrough's network.<ref name="10.11">Polarize 10.11</ref>
Trivia[edit]
- In history, Dido was the first queen of Carthage.
