Original Character Bio Alert! Character Bio Alert!

Also, music to listen to! [link]

Name: Astra

Age: ??? (Well, if she aged by human years, she'd be roughly 26)

Fandom: Hoshi No Kaabii (Kirby Of The Stars)

Home Planet: Crescent Soul Moon (Made Up Planet )

Looks: She is a Black (um...what species is Kirby and Meta Knight...as well as half of the GSA? ) with four fuchsia star birthmarks underneath her right eye as well as a fuchsia sideways crescent moon with a reddish outline. Her eyes are a dark purple with gold flecks here and there. Her shoulder pads are purple and gold mixed together with a silver trim. As for her cape, it's made of camlet (strong waterproof silk or wool fabric) fuchsia with silver trim. Her mask is made of steel and is very durable. And, last but not least, her Star Warrior medal.

Weapons/Abilities: She is very nimble on her feet, allowing her run at high speeds. Very stealthy too, as shown when she keeps her eye on Dedede and his actions from the shadows. She not only keeps an eye on him though, she makes sure to listen to every word that is said, with her special hearing which she trained herself to have through meditation.
She is also able to float, though, not in the same way as Kirby, but more, kind of, in the way of Meta Knight. Her cape allows her to float slowly to the ground, because of four hidden straps that are unseeable to the naked eye. Two at the bottom for her feet and two for her hands. She wields a sword which she DOES know how to use, so watch yourself around her, especially if you are her enemy!

Personality: She is fun-loving and a little bit childish, but she knows her goals and she will do anything to achieve those goals. She is a little bit of a hot-head when it comes to being around idiots, but, she has gotten used to suppressing it until she is alone. She tends to fear for her friends safety, even going so far as to wanting to intervene with something that could blow her, Meta, Sword, and Blade's covers. Meta Knight is usually the one that has to reason with her. She also tends to be a bit cheeky and sarcastic at times.

Story: After spending years of training to be a Star Warrior, she was finally able to become one. Ecstatic about this fact, she returned home to tell her family the news. Unfortunately, she forgot one of the most important things when she got there. She forgot to make sure she wasn't being followed.

The night she returned, Yamikage invaded her home planet with a legion of Demon Beasts right behind him. Astra threw herself into the fray, slaying beast after beast. She eventually managed to get herself to Yamikage and she engaged into combat with him. She was unsuccessfully able to hold herself against him and she was soon knocked unconscious.

When she awoke, her entire home lay in ruins, her family slaughtered at her feet. She wearily pushed herself up, and she started to trudge back to her star ship, tears stinging her eyes.

'How could I have been so stupid?!' she asked herself, 'This is all my fault!'

As she arrived at the location of her ship, her dismay increased tenfold. Yamikage had thought of everything. She had no way to get off of Crescent Soul now, not with her ship destroyed beyond repair. And, to make matters worse, the beast, Fire Lion, was still there, waiting for her.

She weakly pulled out her sword, willing herself to fight it, even though she was still badly injured from her fight with Yamikage. She may have just been deemed a Star Warrior, but, she was still a novice compared to all the other Knights she knew and admired. This situation only seemed to prove that further. She fought her hardest, dodging the flames the beast continually fired at her. Every once in a while, the monster would try to pounce her and claw her, but she blocked each attempt with her sword.

Her luck soon ran out though. The monster was able to figure out what she was going to do as it pounced and it nimbly rebounded from it's landing onto her, pinning her to the ground. From here, the beast clawed and bit at her, delivering one painful blow after another.

It all seemed lost for the young Star Warrior, but, help arrived in the form of one of the Star Knights and his Knaves. Sir Meta Knight, along with Sword and Blade had seen the small distress signal Astra's ship had sent out when it had been attacked and they quickly landed their own ship to investigate.

When they found Astra, she was lying in a bloody heap at the mercy of the Demon Beast that had attacked her. They quickly set out into action, Meta Knight ordering Sword and Blade to take Astra back to their Star Ship while he took care of the fiery monster before them.

In just a few short swipes of Galaxia, Meta Knight had taken out the beast and hurried back to the ship, where Blade was tending to Astra's wounds while Sword stood guard outside the ship. He entered in to see Astra unconscious (again) and asked Blade if she had said anything since they'd gotten back to the ship. Unluckily, she was already out cold when they had gotten there.

Seeing as how he wasn't going to get answers from her anytime soon, Meta Knight went out looking for answers himself. When he arrived at the location of Astra's old home, he began to put two and two together. Dismayed about his discovery, Meta Knight headed back to the ship, telling Sword and Blade to buckle themselves and Astra up.

A couple of days later, Astra finally woke up, though, abeit sore. She quickly introduced herself before starting recollecting what had happened on her planet. In turn, Meta Knight explained what had taken place while she'd been knocked out. After he explained, Astra spoke up.

"So...what now?" Astra asked.

"We're heading to Popstar." Meta replied as he continued to drive.

Astra cocked herself to the side, "Popstar? Why there?"

"Sir Arthur said there was something there for us."

Astra's eyes widened when he said this. "Sir Arthur?! Oh My Stars!"

"You are welcome to come with us, if you want to." Sword offered.

Astra was taken aback by this. "Are...are you sure?"

"Of course!" Blade spoke up. "We could use all the help we can get! With another Star Warrior on our side, we'd be in good shape for what is to come!"

"Well, ok. If you say it's alright." Astra smiled. "I'd love to.

(Back to description mode instead of story mode...)

From this point on, Astra joins Meta, Blade, and Sword on their mission on Popstar, using her stealth to keep an eye on Dedede and making sure to bring her reports back to MK. Throughout the story, Astra starts to acquire feelings for Meta Knight, and, towards the end of the first story, Meta reveals that he feels the same way. The first story ends when Nightmare is defeated by Kirby.

Aaaannnnddd...That is Astra's profile. Sorry for going into Story mode there during her story. I only wanted to do a brief history, but it turned out longer than that. Oh well.

So, what do you think? Do you like Astra? And, if you do, should I write a fanfiction with her in it? Please let me know in the comments below! ^_^
