Tanned skin, rough hands, muscular legs from her frequent travels. Her standard garb is arranged for outdoor functionality and little else, while her formal attire is plain and consistently wrinkled. Her orange scarf is a permanent accessory outside of formal functions. Makes it easy to spot her in a crowd. [hr][indent][i][h3][color=f7941d]𝕊o 𝕆n & 𝕊o 𝔽orth[/color][/h3][/i][/indent][b][color=f7941d]Reputation: [/color][/b] Mannerless and airheaded. Her tone of speech comes off dry, if not condescending. Were it not for her irrefutable service to the family and Carrey’s unlikely fondness for her, Aster would never set foot in noble halls again. Workers directly under her note that she seems more interested in ensuring the quality of the livestock than fraternising with colleagues. [b][color=f7941d]Alignment: [/color][/b] Mage. She is a Nols after all. And for all their fanciful toys, the Northerners don’t have the slightest idea how to treat the land or its creatures with the expertise they deserve. [b][color=f7941d]Skills: [/color] [/b] [indent] - Horseriding and droving (herding). Good with animals. - Has an uncanny gift for numbers. - Knows the land better than most. Acquainted with almost every major city, all exceptions lying in the North. - Crossbow and cavalry sabre proficiency, purely for hunting and fending off bandits. She is hardly an expert in one-to-one combat. [/indent] [b][color=f7941d]Backstory: [/color][/b] House Nols is responsible for ensuring the stability of all forms of trade, and that includes the transportation of livestock. The Ethra Company - led by Ethra Nols, cousin of Esmerelda Nols - oversees this sector. Though railways have been rapidly developing throughout the continent, magic-assisted droving is still the most widely accepted method for moving large numbers of livestock. Aster is the oldest child of Ethra. Despite her numerous shortcomings, she is somehow both the most intelligent and most socially passable of his three offspring, and therefore leads many of the company’s assignments. This journey began at the age of sixteen, upon the completion of her schooling. Her foundation in mathematics was impeccable and she had the potential for joining the ranks of the Nols economists. But Aster was a restless youth. Without the chains of being a main family heir, she shed all lingering attachments to academia and galloped off into the wide, open world. [b][color=f7941d]Miscellaneous: [/color][/b] Her main horse is Keater, named after the popular children’s book ‘The Tale of Keater Hare’, a whimsical story that follows the adventures of a family of anthropomorphic hares. [hr][indent][i][h3][color=f7941d]𝕄agic[/color][/h3][/i][/indent] [b][color=f7941d]Gate: [/color][/b] Air/Earth. A firm but gentle breeze accompanies Aster and her companions while the ground before them seems to smooth out. Redundant at first, but when their journeys consistently span thousands of kilometres, it assists greatly in the long term.
