Astrid (Hisuitupper)

Astrid is a character in the Tupper RP Hisuitupper, a spin-off of Poketupper. An elderly Gardevoir and stern Commander of Jubilife Village. Being an alpha, her voice holds echoing power, as she leads her Village to safety and sustainability. Infamous, however, proven to be particularly stingy to those unproductive, as well as unknown outsiders. Not hesitating to make these suspicions loud and clear, Astrid is cut throat in her words, and leaves no room for interpretation. She puts her Village and it's inhabitants above anything else in the world.
== History ==
Raised in a Village in Hoenn, Astrid was the eldest and one of many children her sickly mother and worker father cared for in the many busy days of Lilycove. Working to boost her psychic ability, Astrid was particularly keen on knowledge, working to grow up to be a scholar. Soon, word of a violent conflict arose within the near Isles beside the region, and in need of troops, Astrid, her father, and her many children were pressed to join the forces without a choice in the matter. Quickly separated by Mother, then soon Father, her and her siblings were to live in a refuge for children where many other Pokemon were raised to specialize in their specific typings. Knowing the talented young Kirlia was skilled in her Psychic abilities, Astrid would endure countless training and cruel torment that would suffice in hardening and enhancing that young Mind of hers. Reducing the opposition's mind to waste and partaking in psychological warfare, the endless guilt and violent imagery reduced the young Kirlia to a shell of her former self. A soldier is what they curated, and Astrid would soon perform what she did best with a cold look in her eyes. 
One night, Astrid, then separated from her siblings for the sake of a mission, would have been awoken by a distant rampage. A seize of the camp they resided in, the Kirlia was forced to defend herself from a Pokemon that threatened to take her life like the rest. In a near blind panic, the Kirlia then took what she could, and pierced said Pokemon with all her might. Never before did the minds she manipulated in these endeavors result in the loss of life, yet standing beside the bleeding corpse and covered in blood, Astrid snapped from the cold shell she was conditioned in. A burst of emotions she knew not she could feel after everything, the Kirlia had quickly ran away from the camp with her life, never daring to look back. 
Years pass, in hiding, Astrid spent the rest of her youth in further refuge away from the War. Further guilt and the readjustments of all that had occurred left the now Gardevoir in a state of perpetual discontent and disconnection. Returning to the building which held her siblings proved fruitless, the resident now completely empty. Astrid was left a shell, thinking she had no life to live beyond this, incapable of love, and incapable of moving on. In due time would she meet a humble man who would grant her the patient guidance despite her stoic exterior. By chance, the man seemed to desire the Gardevoir in marriage, and though Astrid... truly cared not for that, she realized to accept such proposal would bring something she perhaps needed all along. A new start. The newly wed couple would then venture away from Hoenn, from Region to Region, only to settle in a land with flourishing land and peculiar instances. Hisui. There, with her husband and the rest that decided to follow from both the Refuge and otherwise, the small fragments of Jubilife Village were born.
As well as the newly birthed Daughter that came into Astrid's world. She knew not she could ever love, the Marriage baseless in it's foundation, however the child sparked something in the hardened woman. The care of innocence, the look of a child, Astrid knew she must protect her daughter at all costs, to subject her with the childhood Astrid was never granted. There, Jubilife Village was allowed to flourish, at least some semblance of it. Raising her daughter, with her Husband as Commander, all was allowed to soon flourish, years passing by and even her child bore one of her own. Until.. Unknown visitors entered. The current Commander, much more kind in his endeavors, willingly allowed said outsiders to reside in Jubilife, and the rest would mark history. Said Visitors, seeking to take the land for their own, was brutal in retaliation, and the Village would have suffered a confrontation they would have never been able to prepare for. That night, all Astrid knew and loved perished by the hands of hubris, and many of the original members of Jubilife were no more. Leaving Astrid and the fewer numbers to themselves, she stepped up as Commander, driven by grief she would never allow herself to feel.
The rekindling of Jubilife Villages flame would begin, as Astrid spent the rest of her years rebuilding what was destroyed, traveling to other Regions for supplies, and there she met an injured Dewott, as well as many other significant members of the now present Jubilife Village.
== Relationships ==
=== Holmes ===
Traversing other Regions in the name of supplies and assets, Astrid would come across a severely injured Dewott that threatened to perish on the dirt he laid on. Taking him to her residence, the Gardevoir gave the young man a chance at life, there patching his threatening wounds. From then on, the two would slowly yet surely become close, Holmes following Astrid to a region he had not entered before. Years would have passed, and the two would grow closer, the Dewott now Astrid's closest companion. As deputy, he follows her word, and enforces stricter safety into their home. The duo would go through many trials and tribulations as years pass, yet the deep, unspoken trust was unbreakable.
=== Fight Man ===
Seeing herself in the young man who had then lost everything, Astrid allowed the young Machop to enter the Jubilife after proving himself more than capable. Astrid watched, as the young boy grew in capability in his moments of training and tribulation, impressed by his resolve most of all. Fight Man, in return, treats Astrid with great respect. Though the two would remain allies, a nasty confrontation regarding DeGroot's fate struck the two against one another. The rekindling of decades of pain caused by hubris made the Commander strike most violently. However, in the unspoken and unknowing kindred spirits they were allowed Astrid and her sudden defeat and comply.
=== Doshi ===
Most untrusting of a dog that likely stood present, even if briefly, as soon as Jubilife came into fruition. Though assisting in the reconstruction of both Jubilifes downfalls, the Growlithe was continuously demanding in his business offers, and as such, Astrid would quickly grow hesitant and unsure of his presence. Even before the then revealed Yakudoshi presented himself truly worth of distrust, the subtle hostility remained.
