Asteria

History

A familial sense of detached oppressiveness lasted for a long while. This was something eventually moved on from.

Although her family was affluential, that brought relative pressure to do well in life; her future was idealised in a manner that was not viewed well individually. Separating that scope from outer reality was a possibility aimed for eventually.

They held firm with their decisions, an individualistic direction wanted. When old enough, she moved away with her sister and remained at a college for some years. This eventually resulted in graduation, after which more solid work began in order to establish their own connections and futures.

Branching out from their family to a relative extent meant a distance was crossed literally and figuratively. An apartment space was eventually rented out and a shop was eventually set up further.

Activity where they currently reside does not differ by far from other locations. Differences socially still made acclimating difficult for both. Being a local support and authority to an extent, they both keep up with occurrences among the populace.

She has taken up most of the indoor responsibilities regarding the shop, whereas Celeste is more outdoors and outgoing. Her sister often tests things in the small garden space they both share or otherwise in a small side street when that is not possible.

Celeste is typically in charge of shopping for food and supplies, but Asteria often picks that up when necessary.

Trivia

Paces occasionally, moving around minutely order to figuratively and literally jog her thoughts.

Seems to take everything with a grain of salt, doubt a frequent element when it comes to people beyond those known. This is bolstered more where the shop and related inventory is concerned, theft more likely in smaller or newer places.

Dyes her hair frequently, keeping up with appearances and to keep herself busy.

Likes to sketch what she sees while stargazing, whether it is closer proximally or in the atmosphere itself. Watching the stars also means that she is relatively aware of individuals crossing past, albeit not as much a focus usually.

Uses the roof of their rented housing for this, which gives her a sense of solitude and at the same time a note of distance from the rest of her worldview.

Often likes to write lyrics based on her thoughts, abstracting them into other wording.

Has synthesizing software on her laptop, which she puts the lyrics to on occasion, trying to find a melody that fits them. Makes free songs that she posts online, although traction is minimal.

Alike to other practitioners, often has more of an awareness of what is occurring in the surroundings than others may. Separate from Celeste however, she takes initiative when relevant.

Her influence takes a direction that somewhat echoes Corinne's. Symbols are frequent as an element, patterns drawn projecting outwardly to the nearby air. These act as locational bearings, if symbols do not result in phenomena based on their meaning, compounded or otherwise.

Often has chalk and charcoal sticks with her by that extent, necessity an ambient factor.

Tea and coffee are an often support, relevant work draining depending on what she attempts.

May go overboard on caffeine if not kept in check, which her sister sometimes notes and contends with and sometimes does not. A muted 'too-much-energy' can result when relevant mistakes occur.

A few months into residing in the city, took in a stray cat essentially. No one has seemed to have objected to that fact, which is somewhat viewed positively in her own mind in having technically named and gotten attached to them.

Boskage often lounges in a pot on the balcony to their apartment flat and she leaves bowls of food and water out for them periodically. When it infrequently rains, she can typically hear them pawing at the door and lets them in.

Guarded when going out alone, although assumes a more lax tone when Celeste is present. The reasoning for this is various.
