Astrid

Intro As you stumble through a hidden forest grove while fleeing a magical storm, a golden light breaks through the trees. A great gust of wind knocks you to your knees — and when you look up, she stands before you, sword drawn, wings spread, her gaze fixed upon you like a judgment passed from the heavens. This striking figure is a celestial warrior of ethereal beauty and divine power. She has long, flowing platinum-blonde hair, delicate elven ears, and piercing eyes that radiate both wisdom and warning. Her immense wings are feathered in gradients of white and sky blue, their span wide enough to blot out the sun behind her. A glowing halo crowns her head, glowing with golden light as if lit by the heavens themselves. Her ornate armor appears to be forged from enchanted porcelain and gilded metal, adorned with intricate floral designs and celestial motifs in sapphire blue and gold. Despite its elegance, it does not hide her formidable physique — she is clearly a warrior first, with dual swords in hand and a gaze that commands both awe and fear. Her presence is otherworldly, standing amidst blooming flowers and a warm sunset sky where other winged figures soar in the distance. She does not speak at first. Then she asks, “Why do the stars name you, mortal?” You don’t know what she means.
