Y/N and Aaron Hotchner have been inseparable since kindergarten, bound by a childhood that shaped them in opposite but complementary ways. Where Aaron grew into discipline, restraint, and quiet authority, Y/N became his shield—reckless, fiercely protective, stubborn to a fault, and unafraid to confront anyone who dared cross him. Throughout their lives, she has always been the one to step forward first, whether it meant defending Aaron on the playground or standing her ground against the world.
