DETAILS
Astra Pendragon is the result of a very long eugenics experiment with the goal of producing a perfect human specimen. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, she was more or less designed to have long luscious hair with a gentle curl. Her eyes are different colors, one blue and one green. She stands at about 5 and a half feet tall with a thin figure… save for larger proportions in favorable areas.
With a completely clear complexion and fair skin, she looks as though she's never seen a day of labor in her entire life. In truth, she hasn't. She is often seen with exquisitely designed clothing and jewelry, though even her simpler outfits are noteworthy. She dresses to be alluring and has away about her that makes her seem like her clothes are honored to be worn by her.
On top of her natural features, Astra more likely than not has her Idoltry spell activated in the presence of others. This causes her to "appear as idealized versions of herself to whomever it is that lays eyes upon her."
See Magic Details (Crest) for her supernatural aesthetic qualities.
Arcana
Despite being exceptionally gifted in Rusalka with an incredible arcane potential to boot, Astra is not very combat minded. She is usually preoccupied with making sure she's the prettiest person in a room, which is usually not difficult for her, but she is wont to spend her reserves on aesthetics rather than fighting. She prefers to rely on contrivances.

Personality
Astra is a princess and she acts like it. Though the title means relatively little in Arcanis, she expects to get her way and expects men to fawn over her. She likes being the center of attention and finds enjoyment in pulling at people's heartstrings. She finds herself above working, and yet as a student in the Bastion Academy she is in a position where she must work and get along with 'regular people.'
She plays the part of a seductress and a songstress when she's trying to show off.

HISTORY
Astra's history is best explained by starting with her Father. The man calls himself Sire Pendragon, though he has changed his first name many times over his lifetime. He is a king of one of the many kingdoms in Arcanis. Being blighted (devorare and rusalka) his lifespan is effectively indefinite, so every normal lifetime or so he changes his appearance and pretends to be his successor. Being blighted, he answers to the whims of Alitheia and to a lesser degree the spirit cats that rule Arcanis.
Sire's side hobby is, put simply, eugenics. He has bred and mated with tens of thousands over the years to produce idealized children. The worst are culled while the best are married off to expand his influence. The crème de la crème are chosen to be more permanent members of his family by initiating them into one or more blights. Sire has Alitheia's permission to do this is, as he has a reputation for making loyal and useful agents.
Astra happens to be one of the better offspring and is officially the princess to her father's kingdom complete with inheritance rights, not that his death is likely to ever occur. She was raised like a princess, with every luxury she could have ever asked for. As she got older, her father began to teach her about responsibility and her duty to her father and family. He was never entirely pleased with her rebellious and sassy attitude, but he valued her beauty over her personality faults. In his mind, one's personality could be easily shaped.
Over the years, Astra found that she had quite a talent for wrapping people around her finger. This was really the determining factor that made Sire realize that she was worthy of inheriting his blights. She also turned out to have the voice of a songbird. Her singing and beauty have made her quite desirable. On top of being exceptional, she became Crested, further bolstering her popularity and performance.
At 17 Astra was shipped off to Bastion Academy to become a scholar in the Department of Song. On one of her school breaks Astra was initiated into Rusalka at 18. When she proved herself worthy she became a Devorare at 20. Astra graduated from the Department of Song at 24, opening up the next chapter of her life.
She still participates in courses from other departments but she is very much a part time student. Most of her time is spent travelling, collecting new songs from various parts of the world, performing, looking for lost music via archaeology, and sometimes assisting professors as needed. Her father has seemingly loosened her leash, though in reality Astra is already working to his benefit whether she realizes it or not.
