Detailed Information
Appearance🎐 Astra is precisely 5 feet long and she weighs 110 pounds. Her build is medium slim but not scrawny - while she isn't toned, she does have a bit of muscle.
Her eyes are large and dark, but when light hits them, it's like staring into the night sky. Astra gets sometimes mistaken for a boy because of her short, soot coloured hair that got cut when during a mission she was shot with a blast of very sticky goo that wouldn't get off her hair. The girl's eyebrows are bushy, her nose is round, and her lips are plump. In addition to a myriad of freckles dotting across her face, Astra has very prominent dimples that come out whenever she smiles or frowns.
Hero Appearance🎐 Astra's hero suit is rather plain in terms of shape. She designed the outfit with practicality in mind. The form-fitting clothes are designed to both massage Astra's pressure points and to prevent blood clots she might get from overusing her power. She wears a light, long-sleeved turtleneck and dark gray leggings that loop under the soles of her feet. The material resembles that of a yoga fabric. In addition she has a general yellow backpack she uses to store equipment.
For colder environments, Astra has a puffy overcoat in the colours of an ugly 80's wind jacket and gloves that leave the fingertips open for her power to work.
Personality🎐 Astra is pretty often found in a good mood. That's because even though she wouldn't describe herself as an optimist, she always finds a way to trick herself to feel positive. Astra loves messing around, and you might find she doesn't seem to take many things that seriously. At least she doesn't take herself all that seriously, and she tries to spread that mentality to the more uptight people of the academy.
Astra isn't seen all that interested in being famous. She simply enjoys helping people and maybe occassionally showing off, but big crowds have never been her thing.
You shouldn't mistake Astra for an extraordinarily kind person, however. She values honesty over tactfulness and sometimes trips and falls into the trap of hiding behind "just being honest" when really she is being a little unnecessarily mean.
One of Astra's many shortcomings is her poor cooperativeness. You'd think with an ability like hers, she'd love to work with people. And she does - so long as they follow her plan. Astra is often reluctant or uninterested in following someone else's instructions, often doing so only after some wasted time used trying to convince her.
She isn't one of the Venture students who brag about their awesome ability aloud, but Astra is clearly confident in herself. Sometimes she tries pushing too far, however, and ends up having to take the consequences of her reckless behaviour.
Notable Relations🎐 Her parents. They exchange letters regularly, although nowadays Astra tends to forget to write with all the training and missions she does.
Everyday Skills🎐 Creative writing
🎐 Novel reading
🎐 Astronomy
🎐 Brain puzzles
🎐 Videogames
Combat
Fighting Style🎐 Astra relies on strategy and wits rather than brute force. She prefers teaming up with people she can utilize well with her power. Her fighting style involves a lot of careful calculating of distances and taking advantage of her surroundings, because her energy goes only so far before she runs herself to the ground. The forementioned is also the reason Astra's fighting style could be described as very rythmical. Her power is medium-range, so both long-range and close combat are out of the question for her.
Strengths🎐 Creative solutions to problems, unpredictability
🎐 Adapting and utilizing the environment available
Weaknesses🎐 Astra's power might seem too unpredictable at first, but it's flaws and limitations show themselves pretty early on. Besides the fact that Astras ability can only work when physical touch is made, she becomes vulnerable after every transition as there is a brief charge period after every relocation.
🎐 Astra isn't good at weapon combat, especially close combat.
🎐 Astra isn't a physical fighter, and the only solo offensive move she can perform is teleporting someone (or a heavy object) into the air and relying on gravity to do the rest.
Equipment🎐 A set of weights, rope, first-aid kit, swiss army knife
Power
Blinking
Strengths🎐 Astra's power is reality warping by type. She is able to - for the lack of a better word - teleport things by touching them, even herself. The teleportation happens in the blink of an eye, hence the name for her power.
Weaknesses/Limitations🎐 Astra cannot relocate people or objects out of her field of vision (this includes blind spots such as behind herself). Generally she relocates on a three dimensional cone-like radius, her safe reach being approx. 95ft (abt. 30 meters) horizontally and 30ft (abt. 10 meters) vertically*. The distance varies greatly on the weight of the teleported.
*The estimates are based on Astra's own body weight.🎐 The heavier the target, the less distance and times Astra can relocate them, as it takes more strength.
🎐 She is unable to relocate multiple people at the same time. This includes relocating herself and another person/object.
🎐 If someone living is relocated, be it Astra herself or another person, they will suffer from light-headedness or nausea. This effect is almost nonexistent at first, but if Astra keeps relocating herself, she becomes increasingly dizzy.
🎐 If used too many times consecutively, Astra becomes too exhausted to move, as every blink can be counted as a shortcut for the energy it takes to move around. If she continues to relocate after becoming too weak to move, Astra starts vomiting from the dizziness and nausea she is experiencing, unable to maintain balance.
Cosmetics
🎐 Astra has stars in her eyes, quite literally. Or at least it's an illusion that resembles a starry sky whenever light hits her eyes the right way. This is how she got her name.
Extra
🎐 Astra has over-bending joints. Bending her fingers beyond what's considered normal is her favourite gross party trick.
🎐 Astra listens to music almost constantly.
