So, from what I've seen, a large majority want Aethisia to be a reincarnator.
For those that didn't, I understand your reasons, and the only one I can't change is it being odd.
I'll only occasionally utilize her PoV, and she will NOT be an extremely OP idiotic character, because, believe it or not, I don't think anyone who is reincarnated would just... galavant around and be insufferable pricks and live to tell the tale; at least, not the ones with any real world experience.
So, she is going to never reveal her otherworldly origins, nor will she expose her system or her mother, which is what her system is about.
Capeesh?

Aethisia PoV
I had grown up an orphan, bouncing from family to family until I hit sixteen; then, I had to rely on the government to house me as I went to school, studying as hard as I could so I could get a stable job and provide for myself.
Due to me being an orphan, as well as my quiet and reserved nature, I tended to be all alone...
For most of my life.
I eventually got that job, managed to get one hell of a promotion, invested in some weird fake currency thing, made millions, and found myself going from having nothing...
To having a lot of money, and still feeling hollow.
I was in my mid thirties, and I was the CEO of my own company, but...
Well, in my entire life, I had never known the warmth of another person.
Not a parent.
Not a friend.
Not a lover.
I focused so much on my energy on making sure I could have THINGS that I neglected the fact that, without someone to share those things with, all this money was worthless.
So, I started looking around for someone; a friend, maybe a lover...
Yet, each felt more hollow than being alone.
After a long time, I realized that there was something I wanted, that I would never be able to get.
The love of a parent.
Someone to care and love me unconditionally, for the sole reason of being their offspring.
I had money, I had power, but I would NEVER be able to feel that warmth.
I could get a lover; get friends.
But not a parent.
It was weird, I know; I was in my thirties and I craved something so stupid as that, but humans are weird aren't they?
So imagine my surprise when, one day, a woman appeared before me.
[My name is Reincantra, and I have an offer for you.]
"W-What the hell..."
Staring at the gorgeous woman in front of me, I was about to call security when she said [I have an offer for you, Aethi. You crave a mother's love, do you not?]
My eyes went wide, and I stared at this woman with awe.
I had told no one about that, and yet...
"S-So what if I do!?"
Smiling gently at me, she leaned forwards, cupping my cheek.
[You poor child... You don't even know that you are to die today anyways...]
"WHAT?!"
Standing up, I was about to yell at the woman some more when I felt my heart clench, and my breathing stopped.
Dropping to my knees, I desperately tried to breath, staring at the woman with pleading eyes.
[I'm sorry... all this, built for nothing. You're trusted peers poison you out of greed. I really am sorry... which is why...]
Offering her hand, she smiled at me as she said [I can give you everything you would ever want; a loving mother, an elder sister... strenght to protect not only yourself, but them as well. It is the least I could do for one such as you.]
Reaching towards her hand, I felt my body warm up as I grabbed it, and my breathing returned.
However, I heard a loud thud, and looking down, I saw my body sprawled out, unmoving.
What..?
[I'm sorry... really... Please, believe me when I say we Deities want nothing but the best for you mortals, but you make it so hard...]
Sighing, she started rising into the air, pulling me with her.
[You're time has come, sadly enough. However, this is just a new beginning; one to a much better story. One of love and warmth, of unity and love. And I know just the woman to provide you with all of that...]
My vision darkened, and the last thing I heard was a ding, before words appeared before my eyes.
[Devoted Daughter System loaded...]
Then, nothing.

My body was warm.
Like I was swaddled in dozens of blankets.
Reaching out, I frowned as my hand hit something fleshy.
Touch the wall again, I 'jumped' as I heard [Welcome host, to your new life!]
What in the fu-
[Host, please no profanities!]
What?
[Hmm... Host is confused? Very well; I shall explain everything to Host!]
Who..?
I tried to open my eyes, only to realize they were unable to open.
Reaching out again, I kicked at the fleshy wall, before frowning.
[Host is currently in... Please give me a moment Host!]
[Calculating...]
[Hmm... Interesting. Agreed. Yes... Very Well.]
Hey!
[Alright! Host, you are currently in {Astra's} womb; she is your mother!]
Mo...
Mother?
W-What do you mean..?
[Just that Host! You have been reborn completely! Congratulations!]
[Opening Interface...]
[Name: ???
Mama: Astra
Dama: Rhefia
Siblings: Camara
Love Meter: High on all!
Level: 1
Status: Unborn]
And so, I started conversing with my system, learning of what it does, where I am.
My 'system' was the [Devoted Daughter System], and I gained levels by interacting with my Mama and Dama?
I learned many, many things.
Like, for instance, a 'Dama' is a woman with a penis who provided the seed needed for a child.
So my 'father' is one Rhefia...
And my mother is this Astra...
Time passed as I drifted in Astra's womb, my mind in a sort of hibernation.
I had learned everything I needed to learn, and honestly...
I should have been worried, scared, angry...
But I could hear this womans voice, and it was calm and soothing, filled with a warmth I had never felt before.
That was when I learned my name.
I was now Aethisia.

Making this a two parter, next part out tomorrow.
Anyways, I, again, want to reiterate that Aethisia will NOT be some weird, crazy reincarnator.
She will also not be the focus of the story; this will just be a thing I come to every once in a while to freshen things up or for side plots.
Astra is still the MC, and will continue to be.
You will see things from Aethisia's PoV like every 10+ Chapters.
Like someone said, each child that Rhefia has will be unique, but no others will be reincarnators; this was something that intrigued me and I wanted to right about.
Hope you enjoy!
