This is not a character submission. Just some background on Astra because of how active she is. Plus, why not?

It’s safe to say she was not willing to conform to such strict teachings. She wasn’t even willing to conform to societal norms in Malthemoor. Astra did not want to hunt in the wilderness, she did not want to prepare for the eventual war with the Light Elves, and she did not want to sit in a temple somewhere praying to something she had never seen. Most dark elves with her attitude wound up without a home and left to die due to being considered worthless in a society that thrived in the idea of working alongside your fellow elf and filling a role that benefited the kingdom. Without that, their race might have found death in their banishment. It was her clever mind that saved her if anything. She sought the company of the dregs and scoundrels of Daka Island. With the laws of Malthemoor having some of the harshest punishments, these types typically traveled elsewhere to operate. To them, Astra was a means to use a young innocent face as a distraction for their underhanded deeds. Pickpocketing, muggings, burglary, pirating, and all manner of foul deeds. She learned from the worst kind of people to be as successful as possible. As she aged, she started to operate independently, stringing along all sorts of folks with cons and schemes with the sole purpose of making money and just survival. During her decades of living, she had networked with several characters all over Avalia, but she had also made a few enemies along the way. There were some that sought to either enslave her for the rest of her life or outright kill her. With the declaration of war, Astra seeks to find both protection and a means to continue her ventures… or perhaps [i]escape[/i] is more accurate.
