Astro Willowflight

The sun breaks through the branches above Astro as he flits
from branch to branch with laughter following in his wake. He balances a warm
apple pie in one hand as he makes his way deep in the old oak grove to a
favorite spot. Finding his usual comfortable spot in the crook of a large oak
branch he sits down with his prize in his lap and a smile on his face. “That
grumpy old cook probably won’t miss this fresh pie for hours” Astro thinks with
a chuckle. “I have plenty of time to bring it back unnoticed… or at least half
of it back unnoticed.”

Astro dips his hand into the middle of the pie and eats it
with relish while carefully avoiding any of the crust. Soon, he has eaten the
entire center of the pie and finds himself quite full. As usual, Astro begins
to feel his own energy fade after all the fun has passed. He lazily sets the
demolished pie beside himself on the oak branch and makes a halfhearted attempt
to wipe the stickiness off his hands onto some nearby tree bark. Having mostly
failed in the attempt, he shrugs and finds a comfortable hollow where the
branch meets the tree. The sunlight above him fades as he closes his eyes.
“Just a short nap and then I will return the pie” are his last thoughts before
sleep overtakes him.

Character Name

Astro is an Itsi through and through. He appears as either a
small winged Fae or as a light-skinned male elf standing just below the Sano
average. He has a slender build, dark hair, and green eyes in the larger of the
two forms. His features and hair often change with whatever glamour that he
chooses to cast. Astro is tough but not necessarily strong, generally relying
on skill and cunning rather than muscle.

Astro’s past is nothing more to him than images and
emotional impressions. He spent his time mostly at play but will extend the
effort to work… for a good enough reason. He does remember taking what was
supposed to be a short nap in the branches of a favorite oak tree and waking up
under a different tree altogether in Kullinzios.

Generally curious and a bit flirty. Happy and energetic
times are often followed by a sour attitude and lethargic actions. While he
likes being around others, he can get overwhelmed by crowds and busy places
especially if they are strangers. When overwhelmed he will either run away or
find a corner to hide in until he feels comfortable again. Astro is a trickster
and has a snarky streak and may say and do more than he intended in the heat of
the moment. This is usually followed by a sincere apology; however, the damage
has already been done. He is a bit of a thief as well but mostly as a trick. He
generally gives back whatever he has stolen in the end for a laugh. What is the
use of stealing something unless the one you took it from knows who was clever
enough to pull it off?

Astro is also a poet, musician, and singer when he puts his
mind to it. He tends to come off as lazy when speaking to others because… well,
he is lazy. If something or someone captures his mind and imagination, he will
put in the effort to write a song or ink a poem.

beautiful Itsi and she has given him hers back in return. They are often seen together,
share a home in the Itsi Circle, and rest their heads on a single pillow in the
same bush. Astro does everything that he can to protect her while trying to
keep up with her. That isn’t always an easy thing to do. In his own words to
her,  “I can dream while I am awake when
I look at you.”

Jewel- Astro looks up to this pretty and skilled Itsi. Both
for her wisdom and her ability to be so strong while keeping a tender heart. Jewel
welcomed him to the Itsi Circle when he first found it. He considers her a
close friend and would do anything that he can to make her happy and repay her
for all that she has done for him.

Pretty Wolf, Oda - Astro is fond of this Sdyr and considers
her a friend and protector of the Itsi Circle. He feels safer with her nearby
and loves the little Itsi loft that she made for them under her stairs in the
nearby cabin.

Papa Hyperion, Hyperion - Astro respects Hyperion and is
thankful that he protects the Circle in general and Breeze in particular. He is
happy that Hyperion has chosen to move closer to the Circle and stay in the
nearby cabin with Oda. More than anything else, he wants Hyperion to help
Breeze get better. Close behind that is his strong desire to see Hyperion smile.
Since the May Festival, he has a new goal as well. He wonders what it will take
to get Hyperion to dance.

Ivory Wolf, Mocean - Mocean is another protector of the Itsi
Circle that Astro is fond of. Like Pretty Wolf, he feels safer when she is around.
Mocean is quiet and reserved so he doesn't know much about her. He has to resist
the urge to pull her tail just to find out what will happen.

Dribs- He doesn’t see his old mate from the before the last calamitous
much anymore, but he has fond memories of his time spent in Dribs’ Tavern. Occasionally,
he thinks about opening the door to door sales gig with Dribs again. The thought
usually flutters away with the shake of his head. That sounds a little too much
like work.
