Biography

Astri was born and raised by both parents in a comfortable and stable lifestyle until her middle childhood. Her father was a scholar and alchemist, and her mother was a necromancer. Astri was cared for and cherished among her parents, and was their top priority. They had plans to grow her into someone very skillful and powerful and even have a high standing. Devoting their time and resources to ensure she would be the best that she could be, and better they were careful not to allow her outside the home and had at least one parent present in their dwelling.

One night Astri was beckoned by a little creature that sparkled and resembled a friendly fairy. She followed it without question and found herself venturing out of the home. While Astri planned to capture the fairy and show it to her parents, she went past their home boundaries and the magical barrier was ineffective. Right, when she thought she caught the creature she was kidnapped by a witch. Astri

While the witch planned to sacrifice the child, partly because she was partly insane and felt that the child would be a great offering, she also wanted to know if there was to be anything promising if she were to run a few experiments. The time spent with the witch was only a few months as Astris'; living status was based on moon phases. She was confined to a cellar and given the bare minimum of necessities. While Astri hated her time here she quickly grew out of her fearful state of the witch and would rebel as often as she could. Her cries for returning to her parents were replaced with hostility whenever the witch was close by.

Astri eventually escaped with the help of an eight-legged friend and was able to leave when the witch was away. Finally free, the young Astri did not know her way back to her family. Lost, angry, and confused she lived in the wilds and tried to make friends with the wildlife there. Learning through trial and error she followed her gut feeling and took after some of the animals after watching them. She was temporarily raised by a large cat before it moved on.

Sometime later a member from a passing caravan decided to try and take in the lost child. Weary of the woman that found her by the creek and followed her, Astri tried to throw her off the trail. In time she saw that the woman did not mean any harm and left her food and a quilt over the days. On the last day of the camping trip, Astri reluctantly followed the woman back when offered a better home.

She was soon adopted by one of the members of the caravans, after getting approval from the group. Taken into the family of different backgrounds, everyone eventually warmed up to the child and helped care for her. Astri was the youngest, and only child of the group, so she was considered to be everyone';s daughter and was raised like one. While the group took turns helping, Astri learned a bit of something from everyone. Most of her childhood was spent traveling and helping around. Thanks to the frequent travels and not staying in a single place too long, there was plenty of time to explore and learn. They would teach her various things to both help her find where their talent was and how to be self-sufficient. With the time between things, Astri was taught how to craft and sew, which her passion for making accessories and costumes came to place, especially when traveling to wealthy areas. She loved the fabric and designs, and how shiny things seemed to be, however, she wanted to be grander. Able to keep her place and be a very valuable member she had earned the nickname, Darkling from the family, and Licorne as her stage name.

Her average day would range from helping with minor tasks, to her daily lessons. A performance or scheme might be planned to take a part in and off to the market they would go for most of their coin earning. The leader would train her for social interactions along with the others. They did not want her to trust anyone and everyone so they advised her to be cautious of those around her. As she got older she held more responsibility. She would become a medic for the group, hunter, look out, and an offense to overcome any problems the family and her would face. Growing up with the caravan always brought adventure and never a dull moment to her life. Even with constantly moving along, and the many camping trips they have had, there was a luxury of spending time under the stars along with other things. The past chef would give her some recipes that he had learned as a personal cook for a wealthy family, and often make her snacks wherever they went to an inn. The twin rogue siblings would venture out and ‘collect’ things for her from upper class neighborhoods and gift her trinkets, rich fabric to fashionable gowns. When she later met a strange man who wanted to join the caravan, she hated his guts. He wasn’t as young as she was when taken in, but he was a smart mouthed lad who seemed to always like agitated her, even when she ignored him, and even then he followed her around. Astri questioned the leader about how they were to be wary of outsiders, but she felt that his heart had softened with the years she had spent with the group.

On another caravan trip, though unknowingly her last, She couldn’t quite tell but there was something bad going to happen.. She always felt suspicious of the newcomer and tried to keep him in her sights. She was determined and eager to catch him acting up to get rid of him, with or without the caravan';s permission. The routines had stayed the same and everyone was accounted for retired for the night. While it was not her turn to take watch she went to sleep uneasily after they spent time selling wares and were packed for moving onward once the morning sun appeared.

At the dead of night the caravan was forced to disband from an ambush, Astri was unable to meet up with the others after fleeing so she hid off into the woods. She knew everything was destroyed and ruined so there wasn’t anything worth recovering. While she tried to find the fellow caravan members, she was unsuccessful and some days later was captured. It turned out that someone from the caravan had turned against the others and was swindled by the promise of wealth, which Astri overheard. There was not much detail to know who was the traitor was, but Astri already knew her suspensions were correct.

Finding herself in the presence of a familiar pair of faces, The strange person and the witch from her childhood, she was furious. while some of the caravan were held as hostages, Astri went into a panic. The witch finally found her whereabouts and was going to carry on with the sacrifice as planned many years ago. The strange man was nothing but a hollow puppet made by the witch.

Astri refused to go down easily and swiped the dagger out from the witch';s hand and almost had her horn taken in the process, when she freed herself and went to save those who remained in her family. Quick enough to temporarily blind the witch and puppet she saved the others, though sadly once they were freed a spell that was placed on them caused their demise. Full of anguish she lashed out at the witch and managed to critically injure her, and once the witch was gone the puppet was also.

Paying her last respects she buried her family and then set out to live the rest of her life, she had to move on.

Failure is not a word in her dictionary and thanks to her stubborn nature she always looks for ways to overcome any obstacle and has a no bs attitude when she wants something. At the end of the day, Astri can be counted on to get the job done, assuming there';s something in return, and if not she tries to have the last laugh.
