* Timeline of events

가나 아크라 출신의 에피아 단소(Efia Danso)는 황금색 Guardian 건틀릿에 담긴 우주 에너지와 관련된 힘을 지닌 Radiant입니다. 그녀는 이것을 별의 수호자로서의 역할에 사용하여 우주를 변화시키는 사건이 중대한 변화를 가져오지 않도록 합니다.

VALORANT Protocol의 16번째 agent아스트라로 채용된 그녀는 VP 임무 중간에 계속해서 별의 수호자 역할을 수행하지만 때로는 두 가지 역할을 맡기도 합니다. When the Protocol was keeping track of the fugitive Varun Batra whilst he was on the run from his former employer in Southern Asia, Astra discovered Batra was also in possession of a Guardian artifact, a set of five rings and a bracelet. Further compelled to bring him in, the VP was able to rescue and subsequently recruit Batra as agent "Harbor". With access to the bracelet, Astra was able to deduce from engravings left on it that it could function as a key to a lost Guardian city that she had never been able to find in her time as a Guardian. To her surprise however, Harbor revealed he had found it before; the "City of Flowers" was located in the Western Ghats of India, but Harbor had arrived there only to find it decimated and sabotaged.

Still hoping to salvage something from this situation, Astra's attention turned to Omega and the possibility for a counterpart of the city to also exist there. Further research revealed that it did indeed exist, but the Protocol wasn't the only group interested in it - so were their Omega counterparts, the VALORANT Legion, and with their motives unknown and Alpha's city in ruins, the possibility of Legion powering up their own city posed a catastrophic threat to millions of α-Indians. Together with Harbor and Skye, Astra crossed over to Omega to make the long journey from Lisbon to Southern India, all the while being pursued by Omega security forces. When they eventually arrived, the found Legion had gotten there first and was preparing to power up the city. Astra could only get a brief look around before the team needed to disable the city's ability to be powered up and then retreat from the site.

Having been able to prevent the worst for Alpha but unable to access the city under the control of Legion and Omega security, Astra still has much to learn about the Guardians and their history.

#### EFIA DANSO: Early Life

* Danso comes from Accra, Ghana.
* Danso journeys to a million-year-old crater containing a lake.
* Danso becomes an "astral guardian".

#### The Omega Project

* Astra takes time off between missions to attend to her astral guardian duties, ensuring that the construction and use of the Alpha-Omega teleporter won't have any major consequences.

#### First ventures into Omega

* Astra is assigned to keep track of a REALM convoy that is pursuing Varun Batra.
	+ She encourages Brimstone to hunt Batra down before the fugitive's former employer, REALM, gets to him first, as she believes Alpha Batra is the key to finding out what the VALORANT Legion and Batra's Omega counterpart are up to.
	+ There is further encouragement from her when she believes Batra is the one who possesses an artifact that the Protocol has been looking into.
	+ Using a link between Batra's artifact and her own gauntlet, the Protocol is able to narrow down Batra's location in order to carry out an extraction.

#### Journey into the City of Flowers

* Astra is involved with analysis of Harbor's bracelet and its links to the City of Flowers.
	+ She has a discussion with Harbor about his bracelet and the City of Flowers, confirming to him that his bracelet is a creation of the Guardians. She believes it to be a key they can use to activate the city on Alpha, but Harbor reveals to her his previous search for the city and the ruins he found there instead.
	+ Speculation then turns to what would happen if the city on Omega was activated instead, which they decide to investigate along with Killjoy. The trio conclude the Omega city is a multiverse nexus, but without its Alpha counterpart standing, activating it could have a catastrophic effect on Alpha that would cause millions to die.
* Astra is assigned to travel to Omega and go to its City of Flowers.
	+ The team arrives through Portugal but are quickly discovered by Atlas. Astra draws them away from the other agents on the mission as the team splits up.
	+ The team later reunites but then find themselves forced to split up again due to Atlas' pursuit slowing the team down, with Skye choosing to hold them back herself while Astra and Harbor continue on their journey.
	+ Astra and Harbor reach the city and use their relics to unlock an entrance. Upon entering, they are confronted by agents of the VALORANT Legion.
	+ The team is ultimately unable to prevent Omega from activating the nexus but their rapid response and resistance prevents the worst of cases from occurring.

### Personality

> 틀:AC "You can tell a person's character by their first action. Check me then, eh?"
>
> Astra (Round Start)

Astra is an energetic and joyful agent who doesn't hold back what she wants to say. She is fairly straightforward when it comes to expressing herself and friendly banter is definitely her go-to style. She seems to have an affinity for liveliness, and doesn't like it when people and places have no 'color' or 'personality' to them.

She has stated that her plans and ideas may sometimes sound irrational, but this is only because she can see what most cannot due to her cosmic powers.

### Appearance

Astra is of Ghanaian descent and has a dark skin tone. Her hair, which sports a braided mohawk style, is adorned with multiple gold beads that match with more golden jewelry as a nose ring, multiple earrings on her left ear, and a pair of big hoops. Astra's outfit comprises of bright blues, purples, and gold incorporating native designs from her culture. She wears a small, purple hooded shawl, and she pulls up the hood when she is in her Astral Form. She wears a blue shirt alongside a brown sleeveless vest, donning a mechanical golden arm on the left side of her person, while her right arm is exposed with a gold bracelet on her wrist and her hand is covered by a fingerless purple glove. She wears a pair of purple jeans with metallic kneecaps, with shoes of the same color.

### 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.
		- 틀:AC *"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."
	+ 파일:AstraAllyReynaRoundStart.mp3 *"Reyna, just stay in your lane, yawa girl."*
	+ 파일:AstraEnemyReynaMatchStart.mp3 *"Waste that Reyna creature. End her!"*
	+ 파일:AstraEnemyReynaKill.mp3 *"That creature is dead."*

### 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 and a lake being mentioned in a dossier about her.
