Astrea

Astrea side profile

"Enough, WEAKLING!!"

--Astrea

### Appearance

Astrea is a rather tall woman with short brown hair and is covered almost entirely by intricately designed bluish-black and gold armor. She appears a lot like her mother Apollyon on the surface. She has a big green-blue plume on her head and sharp, claw-like gauntlets as well as black standards.

### Personality

Astrea is very condescending and incredibly dangerous. She is idealistic and extremist, some may even call her evil. Despite all this, Astrea has also been shown to be a good leader and strategist, as well as possibly even sympathetic in some areas.

### Early Life

Born of Apollyon and some other guy, Astrea was the second child. However, its was unbeknownst to her at the time that she had an older brother, who was sent away when he was born. Astrea was hidden away from the world during the Faction War, since Apollyon was still a crazy bitch and head of the Blackstone Legion. Astrea lived almost entirely by herself as a child, learning to do things on her own since her mother was often away. It was shown that Astrea got some of her sadistic tendencies from watching Apollyon. This is also when she coined her signature catchphrase: "Enough, sheep". Astrea was only 5 years old when Apollyon was killed, which further solidified her independent lifestyle.

### Tavern Wench

Many years after the death of her mother, Astrea went to work as a tavern wench to make money. During her countless hours laboring away, wiping down tables and showing cleavage, Astrea developed very extremist ideas about war and peace, similar to what Apollyon fought for before her death. Astrea would often go into these manic rants and speeches but all the wench-goers really wanted was beer and tits. This would infuriate Astrea further. It is seen during Red Wedding that Astrea worked at BAR for a long time, up until Valkyrie and Shugoki's wedding. During this time, Astrea was organizing and populating Horkos with extremists, combatants and lunatics with sharp objects.

### It Has Begun

Astrea crashes Valkyrie and Shugoki's wedding just as they are about to do the vows. She somehow sneaks up behind the diminutive Priest Grunt and plunges her flamberge through his chest, killing him almost instantly. She then notifies all in attendance that Horkos is about to take over Valkenheim, so it would be best to flee. Bjorn leaps at her from his row, only to have her catch him by the throat and toss him aside. She then infects Raider with Syphilis, and he damages those around him. Astrea gives everyone an ultimatum, and they leave.

### Declaration of War

**Rescue Daubeny-** Astrea assembles Jomomados and Syntribos in order to capture Hervis Daubeny for nefarious purposes. The three of them travel to The Ring, and it is evident that Astrea sorely overestimated Daubeny. They very quickly bag him up and Astrea carries him off.

**Ravaged-** Astrea appears in The Myre after the Nobushi are mostly wiped out by Horkos. Astrea appears to have full control of the situation, and she demonstrates exceptional fighting ability as she fends off Yumi and Shinobi. She also summons Jomomados to chase down PK. Toward the end of the fight, Astrea uses Draconite to escape along with Jomomados and her victims.

### Zenith

**Draconite Threat-** The first time we see Astrea in Zenith, she is incredibly upset about the United's victory at Da Chengbao, especially since it was because of only a few people. After hearing about one of her close advisors, Syntribos' death, Astrea loses it and orders the Horkos Grunt to gather Yato and the forces from The Myre and Valkenheim-- and to bring them to Ashfeld...

**Dogs of War-** Astrea is not present at Ilkaya's Barrier at the start of the battle. She is elsewhere, ready to unleash Yato and his forces upon The United to get the upper hand. She tells him that she gave him his abilities for a reason and that he should be ready to prove his worth.

### Strengths/Abilities

* Incredible Physical Strength and Speed: Astrea has been shown to have a large sum of physical strength, even without Draconite. She has been shown to stab her sword through a Grunt body and the wooden podium in front of him, as well as counter attack Shinobi (one of the fastest characters) by grabbing him by the leg and slamming his body into the ground like a whip.
* Strategy and Intelligence: Astrea appears to be very intelligent and quick on her feet. Not only has she been pulling strings in the background for years, but she also was able to fend off two Sharingan-wielding Shinobi by herself.
* Draconite: Astrea knows a lot about and wields Draconite often. It makes her far more powerful and allows her to teleport short distances and control minds briefly. Draconite also has many other unknown properties.
* Durability and Pain Tolerance: Astrea can take a hit, definitely, but she is incredibly durable and can hyper-armor through certain attacks.
* Syphilis: Astrea has the ability to transfer a highly-volatile and temporary form of Syphilis to her enemies via her blade. If they go near any of their allies, they will damage them as well.

### Fun Facts and Trivia
