### Kepribadian

— Astra (Round Start)

Astra adalah agen energik dan ceria yang tidak menahan apa yang ingin dia katakan. Dia cukup lugas dalam hal mengekspresikan dirinya dan olok-olok ramah jelas merupakan gayanya. Dia tampaknya memiliki ketertarikan pada keaktifan, dan tidak suka jika orang dan tempat tidak memiliki 'warna' atau 'kepribadian' pada mereka.

Dia telah menyatakan bahwa rencana dan idenya terkadang terdengar tidak rasional, tetapi ini hanya karena dia dapat melihat apa yang paling tidak dapat dilihat karena kekuatan kosmiknya.

### Penampilan

Astra adalah keturunan Ghana dan memiliki warna kulit gelap. Rambutnya, yang menampilkan gaya mohawk yang dikepang, dihiasi dengan beberapa manik-manik emas yang cocok dengan lebih banyak perhiasan emas seperti cincin hidung, beberapa anting-anting di telinga kirinya, dan sepasang lingkaran besar. Pakaian Astra terdiri dari biru cerah, ungu dan emas menggabungkan desain asli dari budayanya. Dia memiliki hoodie ungu, dan dia menarik tudungnya ketika dia berada dalam Bentuk Astralnya . Dia mengenakan kemeja biru di samping rompi tanpa lengan cokelat, mengenakan lengan emas mekanis di sisi kiri orangnya, sementara lengan kanannya terbuka dengan gelang emas di pergelangan tangannya dan tangannya ditutupi oleh sarung tangan ungu tanpa jari. Dia memakai celana jins ungu dengan tempurung lutut metalik, dengan sepatu dengan warna yang sama.

## Trivia

**Development**

* Astra was leaked early on the *VALORANT* Russia Youtube channel.
* A now-removed article from a company that worked with Riot Games on Astra's reveal video said that Astra received her Radiant powers from a spirit in Lake Bosumtwi.
	+ Because this info didn't come from an official Riot or *VALORANT* source, it should not be taken as canon. However, there are still links between the info shown and info about Astra that is canon, such as the appearance of a lake in her player card.

**Lore**

* Astra is from Accra, the capital of Ghana.
* Astra's favorite food is Jollof.
* She often doodles in a little sketchbook to help her process her thoughts.
* Her golden arm contains her radiant powers.
* She refers to herself as an "astral guardian."
	+ Berkas:AstraAstralFormReminder2.mp3*"BYB, fam. Go into astral to do them astral guardian things I do?"*

**Relations**

* Astra has been observing many of VALORANT's agents from afar, being able to uncover some of their secrets.
	+ One such agent is Cypher, with Astra implying that she knows who he is.
		- Berkas:AstraAllyCypherMatchStart.mp3 *"Why, Cypher, like, you think I don't see you. I know who you are, man!"*
* Astra is wary and concerned about Reyna, with Astra referring to her as a "creature."
	+ Berkas:AstraAllyReynaRoundStart.mp3 *"Reyna, just stay in your lane, yawa girl"*
	+ Berkas:AstraEnemyReynaMatchStart.mp3 *"Waste that Reyna creature. End her!"*
	+ Berkas:AstraEnemyReynaKill.mp3 *"That creature is dead"*
