Personality:
Dedicated: Astra is exceptionally dedicated to anything which she feels deserves her attention. The three primary things to which she devotes herself are her family, her work, and her self-education. After the death of her father, her mother's fragile mental health was severely damaged, leaving Astra as the major breadwinner for her family. She shoulders this burden without vocal resentment, though she does feel it to a degree. In spite of what resentment she feels, she would never stop working to support her family. Luckily for her, her work as a seamstress is something that she truly enjoys, and she is constantly striving to maintain knowledge of the latest fashions and sewing techniques. In spite of her own preference for simplicity in dress, she is quite good at sewing even the most complicated garments. She is an exceptionally hard worker and will occasionally work unceasingly at the expense of her own health. She has suffered some illnesses as the result of sleep deprivation as well as a degree of anxiety. Though she cannot afford to go to school, Astra spends most of what money she can spare on books. Her free time is generally spent trying to learn about the world around her as well as the world of the past. She has a great deal of interest in ancient literature and collects as many reproductions of ancient books as she can get her hands on. Though she will always put her family's well-being ahead of her own leisure, she is determined to be a well-educated woman, regardless of whether or not she can afford schooling. It can be quite difficult to grow close to Astra, but when someone does, through helping her, wheedling her, or just being there for her, she is an exceptionally devoted friend
Passionate: Astra is a hot-blooded woman, for better or for worse. While her passion for life and culture can be infectious or even inspirational to some people, it may be somewhat overbearing. Her passion carries over to nearly every aspect of her life. When she devotes herself to something, she throws herself into it with the same fire with which she approaches every other aspect of her life. When she enjoys something, such as her sewing, she will talk about little else, which some people find irritating, particularly if they aren't as passionate on the subject as she is. This passion manifests in her personal relationships as well, she can be overbearing in the degree to which she puts herself these relationships. This can and has scared people off. Her passion also exhibits herself in an impressive temper, which flares up when she feels that she or someone or something that she loves has been insulted. Whether the insults were real or imagined matters little once her anger has emerged, and though her fits of temper don't last long, they can do lasting damage to her relationships. It is rare that she will hold a grudge, these are usually the result of insulting or hurting a family member, but when she does hold a grudge it is very long lasting and cannot be removed through a simple apology, like most issues she has with people. It must be resolved by a genuine demonstration of apology, not begging but simply by proving that you really do respect her and her family.
Cultured: Astra is quite a cultured individual. She prides herself on being exceptionally well-read and at least somewhat familiar with classical art, literature, and music. She has done her best to educate her younger siblings in what she deems as culturally important, with varying results. While she does come off as intelligent to many people, to others she may seem a bit snobbish, particularly as she tends to get frustrated with people who she believes don't put enough effort into learning.
Reliable: Astra will always be there when you need her, whether you need work done or just need a friend to listen to. Though she will never aid a friend in hurting anyone or otherwise committing a crime, she would do just about anything up to that point. She has been taken advantage of by people, friends and otherwise, and as a result of this is considerably less trusting. However, for those people who she does trust, as well as for her customers,she is exceptionally reliable. She will always get a job done on time, without cutting corners, regardless of how she may feel at the time. She may become exhausted by constantly trying to meet everyone's needs before her own, but she is unlikely to stop, even temporarily, unless debilitatingly ill or injured.
Cynical: In spite of her dedication and reliability, Astra expects very little from people in return. She expects very little from them in general, in fact. She believes that this is the best way to keep herself from being further hurt or disappointed by them. She is fairly firmly entrenched in the belief that most people are out for themselves and themselves alone, and holds herself on a "moral high ground" when compared to them, striving to be as selfless as possible while trusting very few. This cynicism makes getting truly close to her difficult, and may give the impression that she believes herself to be better than others.
Inflexible: Astra is extremely set in her ways. She finds it very difficult to make changes in her routine or lifestyle and is frustrated by change. She is most comfortable in the setting of rigid rules that are difficult to break and finds people who don't adhere to rules with which she is comfortable to be frustrating or immature. That being said, if someone else's rules don't fit with the ones she has developed in her head, she is unlikely to obey them. She is generally law-abiding as her personal rules rarely fall outside the law but she has gotten in many arguments with other authority figures over what conflicts did arise between their rules.
Insecure: Astra is generally a fairly insecure person, in spite of what talents and convictions she has she is constantly in doubt of herself and her abilities. She has an urge to please people, and often puts others before herself out of fear of losing the few people to whom she is close, believing that this is the only way that she will keep them near her. She can be self-effacing, deflecting compliments that she has difficulty accepting. Some people find her insecurity off-putting, and some even believe that the modesty she presents is a means of fishing for compliments and become annoyed with her. Her insecurity stems at least in part from the fact that her mother very rarely expresses satisfaction or gratitude for the things that Astra does for her and their family. Her confidence may increase through RP.
Critical: A trait that Astra shares with her mother is that she is very critical. Of others as well as herself. Nothing can ever be perfect in her eyes, and no matter how happy she is with work she has produced she is always bothered by the minor flaws in the finished product. She realizes that this isn't always rational, and as such generally lets the smallest flaws go. This isn't the case with what she perceives as major flaws, and she will lose sleep over trying to fix something she believes is wrong. In terms of other people, Astra has a difficult time giving compliments and has to restrain herself to keep from outright pointing out the flaws in someone else's work. This tendency has cost her several relationships, and many people find her hard to get along with because of it.
Family:
Terrence Howard: Astra's father was a coal miner who died in a mineshaft collapse when Astra was 16. He was the backbone of their family both emotionally and financially and his death threw them into disarray. Astra is the only one of his children old enough to have solid memories of him and remembers him fondly.
Maren Howard: Astra's mother is a rather unsettled woman. She can be a loving mother when not in one of her deep depressions, but she more often than not is incapacitated by her lows. She was never particularly stable but when her husband died she sank into herself and has never been quite the same since.
Asher Howard: Astra's brother is five years younger than her. To his mother's horror, he has gone into the same mine in which his father died to help his sister support their family. He often tells Astra that she is more of a mother to him than Maren has ever been.
Quinn Howard: Astra's younger sister, eight years her junior. Astra has taken her as an apprentice of sorts, teaching her her trade and letting her do minor alterations on clothing while she works on larger orders. They are very close and Astra is extremely protective of Quinn, even more than she is of their brother.

Super Senshi Transformation Call: Kassandra Asteroid Power, Makeup!
Eternal Senshi Transformation Call: Kassandra Eternal, Makeup!
Normal Senshi Attack: Visions of Madness: The orb on Sailor Kassandra's staff glows brightly, enveloping a single target in its sinister light. They are subjected to visions of untold horror, rendering them paralyzed with fear and unable to attack.
Uses: 3
Duration: 1 minute
Cooldown: 1.5 minutes
Range: Single target, within 15 feet of Sailor Kassandra
Weakness: Targets at a higher level than her may be able to free themselves of the visions through force of will before the end of the minute.
Super Senshi Attack: Trust No One: The orb on Sailor Kassandra's staff glows, enveloping up to three enemies. They are overwhelmed with paranoia and believe that their allies have become corrupted, attacking them until the duration of the effect ends.
Uses: 3
Duration: 1.5 minutes
Cooldown: 2 minutes

Weakness: Targets at a higher level than her may be able to shake themselves of the impression that their allies are enemies before the end of the attack's duration.
Eternal Senshi Attack: From the Abyss: Sailor Kassandra strikes her staff into the ground, causing a green light to radiate from the orb. The ground cracks beneath it and visions of unspeakable horror similar to those seen in her normal attack emerge, attacking everyone within the radius of the attack. They cause a great deal of pain in addition to the irrational terror experienced in the first attack. Though it is not a direct effect of the attack, more sensitive individuals might be quite traumatized by this.
Uses: 3
Duration: 1.5 minutes
Cooldown: 3 minutes
Range: A 30 ft circle around Sailor Kassandra
Weakness: Enemies and allies alike are affected by this attack. There is nothing holding someone within the radius of this attack, so if someone could manage to move out of the range of the attack they would recover.
