Astrid Malchance

Astrid Malchance was a witch of the French Quarter Coven, who first appeared in the second part of the The Originals: The Awakening, and the ninth episode of the second season in The Originals. She was the tritagonist of The Originals: The Awakening.
==Early History==
Astrid was an Ancestral Witch who lived in New Orleans during the early 20th century. She was one of the witches who aligned themselves with Kol Mikaelson in order to defeat his brother Klaus. Together with her friend Mary-Alice Claire, the two of them worked closely with the Original vampire Kol who sought their help in order to defeat his brother. In order to do so, Kol taught Astrid and Mary-Alice a different kind of magic called Kemiya, which allowed them to imbue different objects with dark magic and change their elemental compositions. He later revealed that the creation of dark objects was merely for the women to practice Kemiya in order to hone their skills so that one day, they could enchant one of the silver daggers so that it would work on Klaus. Unlike her friend Mary-Alice, Astrid was more skeptical of Kol's plans and believed that each of the dark objects they created was worse than the next. She and Mary-Alice were trapped and imprisoned in the Dowager Fauline's cottage in December 1914 by one of Klaus' witches as punishment for conspiring with Kol.
==Personality==
Unlike Mary-Alice, Astrid was a skeptic when it came to Kol's plan, but she still went along with it in order to support their cause. However, she was horrified by the dark objects that she created with Mary-Alice at Kol's request.
==Physical Appearance==
She was an attractive woman who wore a white shirt and a dark dress, with the addition of a dark hat occasionally. She had dark brown hair put in an updo and brown eyes.
==Powers and Abilities==
Astrid possessed all the standard powers and abilities of a witch. She is one of the few witches versed in the Arabian magic of Kemiya.
Using Kemiya, along with Mary-Alice Claire and under the guidance of Kol Mikaelson, together they created various Dark Objects in 1914, each more disturbing than the last. Such dark objects include: The Bracelet of Obedience that could be used by the wearer to force obedience, a rosary that could be used to drive men to madness, shackles that would halt a witch's power and a blade that could create a thousand cuts with just one throw.
==Weaknesses==
Astrid had the typical weaknesses of a witch.
