She was dropped off at an orphanage as a baby the day after the Winter Solstice. She grew up in a rough environment that beat discipline into her. The other children disliked her because of "gross" scar over her eye. At the age of 15, she was sent off to Eternia Academy to study sorcery. She became close with a girl named Eirlys, and the two eventually slid into a romantic relationship. About a year after Aster started her classes, the Praetors' Guild showed up at the school - they had come to arrest a child that had been born on the Solstice under a New Moon. Children like this were called Solluna, and were incredibly powerful. Because of this, the kingdom was wary of them, and the Praetors' Guild was tasked with keeping them confined and controlled. Eirlys managed to find out that the child the Praetors were looking for was Aster. She helped Aster escape and later made up a story about a secret date gone wrong that had led to Aster mysteriously disappearing. Eirlys made a habit of sneaking away from the Academy to visit and take care of Aster. While on her own, Aster discovered that she had the ability to shape-shift into animals and insects. She was also able to communicate with other creatures. She befriended a butterfly that she named 'Do' (pronounced like dough), and Do decided to rest over her scarred eye, since he could tell that Aster didn't like it. Eirlys eventually found Aster again, and told her that she wanted to go on a journey and try to stop the Praetors' Guild from hurting the Solluna. Aster agreed to go with her, and the two set out. They eventually met Damian Lupin and Ajax Bryony, and the two joined their party. They also met and befriended a man named Casimir Delray. Despite the fact that he was a Praetor, he was trying to help the Solluna. Aster admired this, and the two became fast friends. Casimir wasn't able to join their journey because of his job, but he supported them from behind the scenes and tried to change the Guild from within. Eventually, with the help of a group of travelers led by two of Eirlys's friends from Eternia Academy, Eirlys and Aster succeeded in reforming the Praetors' Guild, and they were able to live in relative peace. ═════════════ ∘◦ ✾ ◦∘ ═══════════════ Art Pieces: ➳ 1: Humanoid Form Ref ➳ 2: Humanoid Form Ref (Shaded) ➳ 3: I'm not entirely sure what this one is, but I thought it looked cool :) ➳ 4: Lil' sillies <3 ➳ waa I would've added more art, but I ended up spending a lot more time on the animatic than I expected haha ═════════════ ∘◦ ✾ ◦∘ ═══════════════ Credits: ➳ Art: Me () ➳ DTA Host: ➳ Original Design (Cat Form): + ➳ Human Design: Me (), based on original design ➳ Other Characters: Eirlys, Ponyo (Design by - I think?
