Appear to be middle eastern and around the late 20s to early 30s, Astarte took the procedure to enhance herself by injecting prototype Australium-power serum following her father's heroic death fighting against the Cult of Undead as one of the seven heroes. After her father's death, Astarte visits her father's monument in Egypt for the last time before taking her mantle after him. Before taking her father's mantle, she was trained alongside her friend/rival, Con under her father for both archery and close combat.

She wields custom Huntsman made with Australium allow her to fire heavier arrows from full steel to platinum for her Platinum Australium Compound, the arrows that can kill supernatural beings.

## Personality & Behaviors

Golden Archer shares her father's trait as being noble and honourable. Unlike her father, she's more competitive seeking her thrill of a challenge even if she had a chance to kill a power monster. While she's a good friend with Con as they trained under the same mentor, she constantly holds her rivalry against Con through clashing their philosophy of hunting freaks and monsters in different methods.

## Powers & Abilities

Golden Archer is a superb archer alongside Con. Trained under her father, Golden Archer inherits her father's precise shot and accuracy with her Huntsman. Unlike most snipers, Golden Archer relies solely on her archery learned through the Arab manuscript as she relies on trick arrows and rapid-fire shots through the right side of the bow. Despite she still carries her quiver on her back, Golden Archer carries two to five arrows before shooting her targets. While Golden Archer is an expert archer, she is also skilled in hand to hand combat specifically rely on her knives made of Australium. As her other weapon of choices besides her trusty custom Hunstman, she wields jambiya and kris knives made in Australium in combat. While she has normal arrows, Golden Archer also equip with fully steel arrows and Platinum Australium Compound arrows, also known as Platinum arrows for short, the type of unusual arrows that specifically designed to kill any supernatural beings including demons. Although she wields her right tools to slay any monsters, freaks, and demons, Astarte needs more than her skills to even the plain field even to her rivals. After taking her prototype Australium-power serum, her physical fitness increase a thousandfold. This enhanced her strength, speed, durability, and endurance. Despite the only possess enhanced physical condition, Golden Archer still can lift and throw landscape boulder with ease, ran as fast as a cheetah, and survive taking Con's nuclear warhead/sticky bomb arrow specifically design to kill Vagineer. Outside of her skills, Golden Archer has high knowledge of freaks and monsters like her rivals. She's also a skilled tactician and knowledge in archery as she can easily pull off turning arrows as oppose to Con's ricochet arrows.

## Faults & Weakness

Even with her weapons and skills, she has her inferiority as she struggles to be on the same level or even surpassing her father. Despite inheriting her father's skill and mantle, she still butthead with Con as they both compete for the prize to determine the winner while clashing their philosophies of archery. While she enhances her fitness, she still can feel hurt from taking high calibre rounds, electroshock and taking the fall from a skyscraper. Despite sharing the same knowledge of monster hunter, Golden Archer resorts to killing by any means rather than alternatives as several monsters have other weaknesses besides Australium weapons and Platinum arrows.
