Astraia was born in a small village to a bunch of ‘noble’ sun elves who seemed to have a great deal of wisdom and faith to a greater being. She wasn’t that smart—just about average—but she had the charisma to pull off as such. She also had such strong faith in the deity everybody worshipped that she swore an Oath of Devotion, rightfully becoming a paladin.
She was beloved for her devotion, her strength, and her way of storytelling after an especially interesting battle. But, one day, some raiders came to ambush her city-town. She couldn't hold them all back--she was one against 10! Her home was reduced to rubble, most people she loved and cherished were gone without a trace or severely injured, bound to die. Guilt drives her stories now; she won't leave anyone behind.
QUIRKS / UNIQUE TRAITS:
-- Snaps her fingers when she wants something.
-- Very gullible sometimes, especially when it comes to someone with authority in her faith.
-- Cannot drive, but will always volunteer to.
-- Thinks EVERYTHING is a sign from the deity.
-- Monotonous voice. Not many expressions.
-- Terribly bad at telling if somebody is mad, sad, happy, etc.
Personality:
Astraia is a whimsical, yet slightly stupid elf. She is devoted to those she loves, and will protect them from anything. Due to growing up noble and almost like royalty, she can come off as snobby and out of touch sometimes, still not sure what to do as a 'poor person'--really, she's trying her best. She's taken on a more androgynous identity and personality as she has been confused for a man so many times while in armour. Oh well.
