## Background

Born Astrid Elizabeth Duvain, in early 1996, she is the youngest child of Charles & Monica Duvain. She has two older siblings, Maya and Devin. She learned at a young age that her elder brother, Devin, was the perfect child. As a child, Astrid struggled with living in her older brother's shadow, but proved to be a driven, ambitious girl. She studied hard in school, devoted countless hours volunteering in her local community, participated in competitive gymnastics & the arts- always striving to prove that she was worthy of recognition by her family, who only ever praised the triumphs of her brother. Her studies lead her to university where she discovered her true passion- the law. Having dealt with being on the wrong side of power imbalances her whole life, and with her strong sense of empathy and desire to uplift marginalized voices, Astrid devoted her life to criminal justice.

## Work

Astrid is employed with the DOJ (Department of Justice) as the State Attorney General and is a member of the **San Andreas Chamber of Oversight and Reform**.

She also owns the **Good Vibes Taco Hut** with her husband, Tim Dangle.

## Personality

Astrid is generally very friendly and helpful to new people. Her empathetic nature makes her extremely helpful to new people that she meets and useful to her clients. A beacon of patience, Astrid has a high tolerance for nonsense, however, once crossed she makes a mean enemy.

Great at holding grudges, as well as being a petty queen, she uses her time, energy, influence, and money to bring head and heart ache to those she feels have wronged her or her loved ones.

## Appearance

Astrid is quite small in stature, standing at only 150 cm tall. She has piercing blue eyes, thin eyebrows, and is rarely seen without her signature dark eye makeup.
