== Physical appearance ==
She was pretty as a young woman, with honey-blond hair, and enormous long-lashed blue eyes. Her very regular features suggested that her attractiveness had been assisted by cosmetic enhancements. ()
== Biography ==
Heywood was a scion of one of the Star Kingdom's more powerful noble houses, the daughter of Baroness White Springs. 
When Crown Prince Michael Winton was transferred to the HMS Intransigent for his midshipman cruise, the Baroness of White Springs arranged for her daughter's middy cruise to be served on the same ship. Astrid was active in arranging to be with the Crown Prince whenever their duties permitted. The Crown Prince suspected the Baroness wanted some return on her investment, including a personal association with the immediate Royal Family, and suspected that publicly rebuking any advances Heywood might make would not sit well with the Baroness.
