"Personally, I think this valley would look splendid with all of its inhabitants reduced to ash. Whatever do you mean? It was just my opinion!"

If on your travels you encounter a field devoid of life, the sky singed purple, the ground burnt black, you may have just stumbled into the aftermath of a run-in with Astrid... 

Tall, athletic and pretty, she belongs to the spacefaring race of Lunar Elves, an incredibly rare sight after their departure from the Earth. 

Astrid's cheery, enthusiastic attitude is sure to rub off on you. She adores the company of others and believes there's no such thing as too many friends. Despite this, she has very few, all for one reason... She's a terrifying unstable force of destruction!!

Astrid's status as a walking doomsday device leaves those who recognise her too petrified to run, however the reason for her insanity stems from a moment of tragedy, not malice.

The Lunar Elves, her race, all hailed from one central kingdom on Earth, very few ever left the capital. Within their culture, there was a belief that celestial bodies orbiting a planet, moons, were what granted them the ability to perform potent magical spells and live exceptionally long lives. There also was a belief that they would one day ascend beyond the confines of their planet and live on the surface of the moon itself to become all-powerful godlike beings.

Astrid was only young when it happened... As if overnight, the entire Lunar Kingdom vanished, leaving only a few elves to roam the planet their brethren abandoned.

It drove her crazy.

Enraged and distraught at the same time, Astrid wandered the vacant land aimlessly, eventually concluding she simply wasn't strong enough to join her friends and family in space.

From that point on she dedicated herself to searching for magical artifacts in order to hoard enough power to reach her people on the moon. If anyone got in her way, they would be obliterated.

In the absence of her home, Astrid mastered the art of casting fire and lightning in order to defend herself. Of course her damaged mind also enjoyed levelling entire valleys just for fun too.

One lead she followed involving a magical artifact brought her to a dark cave containing an eerie book. Upon touching it, an unnerving black magical substance enveloped her right arm! If it weren't for a gold warding bracelet she had on hand, she'd be dead within the hour. Of course, having a malevolent energy living in her arm didn't do her mind any favours either. It did make her a fantastic necromancer though.

Despite everything stated above, Astrid is not evil. She genuinely wants to make friends and is constantly battling her inner demons to make that happen. Anyone patient enough to remain with her during her struggles, she will love and trust until the end of time.
