XXXXXXXXXX███ █ ❖ ▋▎B A S I C SXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXName: AstraeaXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXNicknames: TBAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXTitle: Lesser Deity of Innocence and PurityXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXTemper: PatientXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXEye Color: OpalXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXMane Color: WhiteXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXHeight: 14.5 HandsXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXOrientation: Heterosexual◆__◆__❖__◆__◆ XXXXXXXXXX███ █ ❖ ▋▎H O P E SXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXA main focus of Astraeas is to guide new Azrein in this realm who fear it and their existence here, those who would otherwise turn to The Six that would like to see their fear and hatred grow. She feels that if she could just have the chance to speak with them before The Six got their hooves dug into them, she could get them to see the peace and harmony this land has to offer, as well as the joy a bonding can bring to both Azrein and human alike.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAstraeas other hope is to help shelter and protect the pure and the innocent and keep them from harm, as well as those with troubled pasts like her own. She often appears before foals and children, offering them her aid. She enjoys their company so much so that she often can be found around them. Their carefree laughter and games, purity of mind, and easy ways sooth her.◆__◆__❖__◆__◆ XXXXXXXXXX███ █ ❖ ▋▎F E A R SXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAbove all else, Astraea fears the hearts and minds of foals and children falling into the hands of those seeking to corrupt.She worries and fears for young ones born to mothers who do not love them, as she was born to her own mother. It is a fear that goes back before even this time and place, and if she ever saw such a thing would never be able to stand by idle and witness. Because of this, she is known to adopt and care for foals and human children alike, giving them her gentle love and care.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAstraea also fears that she herself will be corrupted. She practices her virtues and clings to them. She bravely faces this fear every time she uses her Cleanse ability, but is always afraid, unsure if she will be herself, if the negativity will completely leave her soul. She fears a day where it may not.◆__◆__❖__◆__◆ XXXXXXXXXX███ █ ❖ ▋▎H O B B I E SXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAstraea loves to play simple games like hide and seek, red rover, anything a child might play.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXIn the warm seasons, Astraea likes to pick flowers and practices ikebana.◆__◆__❖__◆__◆

XXXXXXXXXX███ █ ❖ ▋▎P E R S O N A L I T YXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXP A T I E N C EXXXXXAstraea is very patient. She very rarely gets angry. She spent years living with and enduring her mother's abuse in her mortal life before she finally snapped. She retained this virtue when she was reborn as a deity. Her patience should not be mistaken for neutrality, as she will fearlessly protect good from evil, but she would rather resolve issues through peaceful means than violence. Astraea is quick to forgive due to her patience. She feels that if an apology is offered, no matter the wrong doing, forgiveness should be given.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXC H A S T I T YXXXXXBeing a deity of purity, Astraea practices celibacy. She would rather not fill herself with impure thoughts and feelings such as lust. It would be very rare, but possible, that if she felt a genuine, pure, love for another Azrein that she would find a Lifemate in, that she would. In such a case carnal interactions would be purely for reproduction.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXU N I V E R S A L I T YXXXXXAstraea shows tolerance, love, and respect to all beings. Even if she were to happen across an Azrein aligned with The Six, she would present them with the same respect as any other Azrein unless she were given a reason to behave differently towards them. From the tiniest little bug, to the largest, most fearsome creature in the land. She also respects the world into which she was born, taking nothing for granted.◆__◆__❖__◆__◆

XXXXXXXXXX███ █ ❖ ▋▎P O W E R SXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXC L E A N S EXXXXXIf one is tortured or haunted by impure thoughts or feelings (violence, lust, jealousy, etc) Astraea can attempt to eradicate them. The suffering party must be willing to accept Astraea's aid or the power is useless. The cause of such thoughts or feelings must be new, fresh, to be completely cleansed away. A party who has been suffering long term from such thoughts/feelings can only have the pain/suffering lessened. All memories are kept, but the root cause/memory does not bother the suffering party anymore, or bothers them less. This power cannot affect such strong feelings as hatred, love, obsession, or fear. Astraea does not take this power lightly. Such negative and potent emotions and thoughts cannot simply "disappear". Instead, Astraea absorbs them into herself. Her pure white pelt will be tainted with black, and she herself will suffer from them until over time they fade. The length of time it takes them to fade depends on how strong they were.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXA M N E S I AXXXXXWhere calm words and the power of cleanse would fail, Astraea can cause a short period of Amnesia. This lasts for a short time, and is used to try and influence a corrupt or evil being into becoming good. Her aim being that, if they experience the world with fresh eyes, uninfluenced by their past memories, choices, or opinions, even whe their memories came back they may choose not to walk down such a dark path anymore. Astraea only uses this in extreme situations, when she or others are in danger or may be put in danger by the being she would use it on.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL U C I D I T YXXXXXDue to her clarity, purity of thought, and strong desire to protect from evil and wrongdoing, Astraea is able to detect words that are untrue. She hears lies differently than the truth. Lies will leave a bad sound ringing in her ears, like nails on chalkboard. She cannot distinguish between half-lies or half-truths, and will not be able to tell that she is only being told part of the truth or that true words were twisted. Also, if the speaker truly believes that what they say is the truth, it will sound true to Astraea.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX T O R M E N TXXXXXAstraea's torment is that she feels the pain and suffering, physical and emotional, of the innocent. It is her punishment for the hateful and brutal murder of her own mother so very long ago. It is not limited to just Azrein. The suffering of pure and innocent humanoids pains her as well. The effect is localized in that the suffering being must be within five miles or less, but when there are multiple beings suffering in range it is a lot of pain to bear. Sometimes she finds all she can do is lay there and remember how to breathe. When there are two or fewer nearby, she can manage it much better and remain strong. This is due to the fact that as just a child she suffered as well. Depending on how much emotion is behind the physical suffering, scars, bruises, and welts may appear on Astraea's body and pain her just as much as the one suffering.◆__◆__❖__◆__◆ XXXXXXXXXX███ █ ❖ ▋▎H I S T O R YXXXXXNothing is born evil. Nothing is born tainted or corrupt. Astraea was, like all newborns of any species or race, born pure and innocent. The first time she opened her eyes, the blurry image she saw was that of her mother. She felt a bond, a connection, to this image. So strong and pure, but the blurry image seemed to move farther away. Astraea want to follow, and her instincts kicked in. She rose to her feet, unsteady, imbalanced, as all newborn Azrein were. But something was not quite right. She looked at her legs, and couldn't see what her mother could see. The little Azrein was deformed, her legs were crooked. All she knew was that it hurt to stand, and took a wobbly step forward, but tumbled down.
Determined, she rose again. Took her time adjusting and gaining her balance, then wobbled forward towards her mother. It hurt a lot, but she could do it. She knew the blurry image was her mother, who cared for her, birthed her. Her love for her mother was so strong, she endured the pain to get closer to her. But with every step closer, the image simply moved farther away again. Then it quickly darted out of her view. The little foal stood, bewildered. And then she felt sharp pain in her neck as she was snatched up by her mother's maw. She was shaken violently back and forth. Afraid, she cried out for her mother. Wordless cries of fear and pain filled the air around her. Then her mother tossed her to the ground like trash. "I hate you." her mother said. Astraea could only cry. What did it mean? What was hate? The bond was cracked.
Despite the mother's lack of love or care for Astraea, the deformed foal, the slow foal, both in mind and body, she continued to grow. She survived her mother's abuse and endured. She didn't understand why she could not make her mother happy or proud, she couldn't make her smile. Her mother repeated those words constantly, "I hate you." But what was hate? The abuse was endless, the crack in the bond splintered out like a spider web.
Astraea with the crooked legs, slow, simple, Astraea. She grew to fear her mother. Slowly the pieces fit together. Growing up, she saw other mothers did not treat their babies so cruelly. She saw that other foals could run and play, not hobble about as she did. Other foals were quick to learn, not slow and simple like she. But hate, she could not grasp. What was hate? The bond was shattering.
She grew more and more, and the fear consumed her. Astraea began to feel foul and misplaced. She began to feel anger. Anger at other mothers and foals who loved each other, while she was beaten, spat upon, and cursed. Then anger and fear pulled her in, until every trace of innocence she was born with was erased, and she grew bigger every day. She was almost as big as her mother now. "I hate you!" her mother screamed every day. Until that day, that final day. The bond was broken.
Angry and afraid, consumed, twisted, Astraea lashed back at her mother, knocked her down. Then stomped. Crunch. Her mother cried in pain, but Astraea couldn't hear it. Her anger deafened her ears, her fear distorted her vision. What was hate? She stomped and stomped, as hard as she could, the white fur on her crooked legs covered in red. "I hate you. I hate you! I HATE YOU!" She screamed at her mother, who now lay dead. She stopped. What was hate? And now she knew. Where was the bond?
She ran away. Little Astraea, slow Astraea, simple Astraea. She felt tainted, dirty... evil. She ran to the river nearby. "I loved you. Why couldn't you love me?" She stepped into the river. "Clean me, please. Clean me." The river tugged at her weak legs. She walked deeper into the river. "Clean me!" She begged. The river pulled harder, until she lost her footing, and sunk below the surface, unable to swim. Her lungs burned, such great pain. But no pain was greater than that of her mother's hate.
Then she felt peace. For years and years, a blissful state. A state of wholeness. She didn't quite know where she was, but she felt pure, untainted. It seemed eons had passed when it finally happened, a great darkness swept over the land. The Six appeared and war soon followed. The death of The Fallen filled many innocent and pure hearts with grief and pain. Astraea was born from such pain. After such a long time in another plane of existence, she finally awoke in a bed of water, a pond, surrounded by beautiful lotus flowers floating upon the surface.
