Asteria

**Warning: This page contains spoilers! Proceed with caution.**

Asteria is the lover of Morpheus and the mother of Korina in Korina’s Origin. For much of the series, her identity has been a mystery and finding her has been one of Korina's main goals.

## Appearance

In the episode “A Visit From Mother”, only her eyes are shown. She has pink eyes with pink sclera, and her eyelashes are purple with stars in them. In the episode "Asteria", we finally see her fully in person. She is a tall, dark-skinned woman with multicolored hair and pink eyes. Light-colored spots like freckles can be seen all over her skin. Her hair has galaxy patterns much like Korina's, though unlike Korina her hair is predominantly purple with blue accents. She has a pair of large white wings on her back. In a similar vein to Thanatos, she is much taller than the average person, though it is currently unclear whether she has a much larger form like he does.

On her head is a silver circlet with dark beads that loop around and connect to each other and a small crescent moon charm in the front. Embedded in the circlet are many small round fuchsia beads and a large fuchsia gem shaped like a four-pointed star, though the white triangles behind it give it the appearance of an eight-pointed star. On both of her arms are silver cuff bracelets with beads dangling off of them and silver forearm cuffs with swirly patterns. Silver greaves with similar patterns are around both of her calves and there is a silver garter on her left thigh with a similar style. She wears a purpureus colored crop halter top with lilac accents and a double split maxi skirt of the same color. Around the collar and bottom hem of her top is silver armor with fuchsia gems. Attached to the armor are strings of beads and gems and a magenta sash that wraps around the skirt.

## Lore

Asteria met Morpheus at a party on Olympus, and the two fell deeply in love with each other. Their relationship was described to be like that of a fairy tale romance, though it did not last. Asteria became aware of a threat to the stars and left to resolve it, leaving the newly born Korina with Morpheus and breaking both of their hearts. She would continuously fight this threat for over two decades, only briefly being able to visit Korina a few times in her dreams, and later in person.

### Personality

Many of the interactions we see with Asteria involve her daughter, Korina. With Korina, Asteria is sweet and doting, offering advice and being protective when she feels it is necessary. When it comes to other people, though, Asteria seems to get a bit of an edge to her personality that isn't as present when speaking to Korina. So far we have not seen too much to her personality outside of this.

### Relationships

#### Morpheus

Asteria and Morpheus were deeply in love. Though not much is known about their relationship as of right now, what is known is that they gave each other pet names and that Morpheus was devastated when Asteria left. Though she speaks fondly of him, she expresses disappointment towards him for leaving Korina.

#### Korina

Asteria cares for Korina as her mother and on the very few occassions that they are able to speak, she expresses how much she loves her and misses her and gives what advice she can. She is also the one granting more power onto Korina, though it is without much forewarning. Once Asteria finally gets the chance to see her again, she is invested in learning everything she can about her and becomes somewhat overprotective of her.

#### Thanatos

It seems that Thanatos and Asteria were friendly acquaintances on account of both of them being close with Morpheus.

#### Hera

Asteria is aware of the deal between Korina and Hera and knows that she has something malicious planned, but is unable to do anything about it.

#### Stella

Stella was sent to Purgatory by Asteria to be a companion for Korina. Other than that, not much is known about their relationship.

### Mors

Asteria was suspicious of Mors at first, being unsure of his intentions with Korina. After realizing that he truly wants to protect Korina, she becomes more friendly towards him.

## Skills/Abilities

### Light Magic

Asteria can control light magic, and is apparently more proficient with it than Morpheus.

### Dream Magic

Asteria communicates with Korina through her dreams and Korina is unable to interfere with the dream while she is in it, so it can be assumed that she is able to manipulate dreams to some degree.

### Flight

Asteria is shown to have wings and flight capabilities in the episode "Star Destroyer".

### "Seeing Through Stars"

Thanatos states that Asteria had the ability to "see through the stars", which seems to be the ability to see from a star's perspective.
