Character Details

Sheltered feral, heartbroken nomad, privileged adventurer, steadfast diplomat, destitute survivalist. Astrid has viewed life through more lenses than she can count, not all of which were for her betterment. By all worldly accounts, she is just a regular Ninetales. But having fought on the front lines to save Cibus, Dodra, and Forlas, the Overseers know of her well by now as one thing: an unparalleled anomaly. She knows the drill now, too, and continues her conquest into this new adventure knowing full well there will be curveballs thrown her way. She's ready.

RP Information

Astrid was a participant in the Blacklight Eternal campaign (2020-2021; world of Cibus), the Dodran Phantasms campaign (2022-2024; world of Dodra), and the Heartache campaign (2023-present; world of Forlas). She's a huge ditz and has the romantic instincts of a pickle jar. She obsesses over maps and the weather. She's not quick to panic and often marches to the beat of her own drum but has some trouble plotting things very far in advance. Spontaneous energy is her friend. Assuming appropriate affinity (or lack thereof) between characters, some good scene topics to eventually broach with Astrid might be: trust, exploration, ambition, hope, risk, and identity.

Skills and Abilities

To whatever extent her new body allows, Astrid's spirit is more attuned to Radiant/"light" energy than other energies. As she grows into it and evolves, she will increasingly be able to move at high speeds, cancel inertia like it's nothing, and eventually fly. (pending customs)
