Astrid Luzatto

## Description

Astrid is a soldier of the Hearth, she is an heir of House Luzatto, a family that's head of an organized syndicate of various industries. Her interests reside in managing information above all else. She is a lieutenant of the Syrnia, under Nyla's orders

## In Game Description

Lieutenant of the Syrnia unit and a member of House Luzatto.

She hosts weekly performances as a clown in Barrbourg.

Claims to have come to Sanctus for revenge.

## Appearance

Astrid is a girl of average height, with light blond hair that reaches her waist, and blue eyes. She is usually elegantly dressed, generally prefering blue tones. Notably she sometimes dresses as a clown for her performances when she will wear a marinière with white short-legged overalls and clown make-up

## Personality

Astrid is a mischevious, silver-tongued and loquacious girl. She's arguably the most verbose and eloquent character in the game. She usually behaves with flair and gives off the impressions to never take anything seriously. This is a facade though, as she can also show herself to be cold and cruel. Her main defining trait is that she can wear any mask she needs depending on her situation. Her duplicitous nature drives a wedge in all her interpersonal relationships, she professes that solitude is a prize but seems to suffer from loneliness

## Powers

Astrid admittedly struggles with magic, having a hard time performing feats that are considered basic. On top of that she does not seem to display particularly impressive athletical capabitlities. However, fighting skills are not where her strenght lies. She has above-average intellect and analytical skills, and where she shines is in her ability to procure, manage and spread information or *mis*information*.*
