At some point she ran into a tall man with black hair, dark hazel eyes, and a light purple robe with a black cloak shrouding it. He introduced himself as Lord Alyn Sloane from the Reach. After a few months spent bonding with the newfound friend, they were engaged then soon wedded in King's Landing.

As time passed by a Targaryen approached her, introducing himself as Prince Valerion Targaryen and asking if she would be interested in wedding his son, Ayrmidon Sunfyre. She spent a day thinking on it before reapproaching the pair. Ayrmidon suggested they be betrothed first; this way, he could court her for a time and get to know her more. She took to that idea and they attended a ball together, with the night ending in the two pouring their hearts out to each other and comforting each other throughout their emotional tribulations. They had their wedding hosted by the High Septon and both their families attended, with Astrid and Godrick talking about how they're glad the former could finally move forward in life.

### Death

Astrid received a summoning from Aemond Targaryen, leader of the Drake Knights, as she had once been a more active part of the organization. This was due to the fact that her younger brother, Godwyn Sloane, was spotted in the forests with hidden, dangerous agendas. After the court, already complicated matters took a turn for the worse when she was confronted by Aemond about a fight he wished to ensue on her family. She wished to remain neutral in the whole ordeal.

Astrid sought counsel from her family and made an attempt to permanently leave Drake Knights. However, she was taken prisoner for her betrayal and was publicly executed where she took her final stand. Her mind was only on her family, and she spoke one last sentence before she was executed.

“The last of the Rowans has come to its end," she said before the sword met its mark, having taken her final breath as her body dropped to the ground.
