Name: Astéri

Age: 18/19
Occupation: Monk/Mercenary/Freelance Adventurer
Appearance: Her coat is a pale blue colour, her mane a deep, dark aqua that is short and choppy, and poofs upward. 2 Braids pulled back. Her hooves are a dark lavender, and her eyes a dark bluish purple. She is somewhat taller and leaner then other Earth Ponies.. Her Ears are slightly larger, as well as her hind legs/hooves. Her shoulders and chest slightly more pronounced. Her marking, The North Star, is found on her shoulder.
Her tail extends slightly longer, The non hair portion.
Cutie Mark: The North Star
Personality: Her most common aspect will be casual, a sassy countenance with a hard confidence in herself. Not to be mistaken as Hubris but a confidence that she will be able to stand up to whatever stands in her way, even if that means she will fail, over and over again. Her biggest fear is not of failure, or even death, but that she will one day lose faith in herself, in those around her, and the world itself.
During battle, her sassy countenance does not waver, continuing in a smirking grimace of the thrill and adrenaline rush of battle. (Adrenaline Junky)
She really, really, really hates boredom, boring situations, or sitting still for long periods of time.
Background:
She was raised in confinement. Not in a jail or in a cage. In a valley. A small valley with mountains at all sides. The rocks too steep to climb, and the only exits guarded by the soldiers of a vengeful figurehead, who had some horrific, long lasting grudge on some long dead secondary figure head living there, and wished to bring pain upon the descendants of him and his followers.
She itched for a way out as she grew, and trained with the monks at the temple, hewn into the mountain rocks. Learning how to fight without need of weapons, and with a few of the simpler ones. It was her way of scratching that itch, dampening it so she wouldn’t lash out and get into trouble. Although, of course, she did, finding herself and others with bruises and scratches. At 16, her name day, she chose Astéri, which meant Star. It was her quiet way of promising herself she was guide herself out of that hole. Hoping to be the guiding light of her home, and find her way in this world. It was also the day she gained her Marking, the North Star. A note, of this mark. The ponies of this place were slightly different, where they gained this mark in the region of the shoulder, the shoulder blade, or the Lower neck. Perhaps a magical effect of this place, or its past.
At 17 and 6 moons(months), she finally made the escape. In the night, she dressed in dark cloth and cloaking, with bare items with her. It would not due to be heavy. She went with 3 others. 3 other disciples. To her knowledge, she was the only one to escape, and refuses to speak of that bloody night. An alarm had gone off, and placed it all under an even higher level of surveillance, Cutting her off from entering again, without a whole lot of help. She would not be returning, and it was, and is, one of her greatest regrets.
She would find the outside world fascinating and dangerous. Filled with ponies and creatures of different types. She had never expected it to be like this. Dragons, Giant dogs, wooden wolves, tiny sprites, merfolk, and ponies with horns and wings aplenty, and those with horns able to do magic beyond her wildest dreams. And two, no, 3 Mares, princesses who attained both wings and horns!
Slowly she would adjust (And still is adjusting), and after a year and another few moons, she had found a decent way of life. Adventuring. Exploring. And beating the heck out of other horses for Bits, the currency in this world apparently. Another interesting aspect, and more lovely things to discover!
However, she still has much to learn of this place.
Note: Where she used to live was nestled into the mountains southeast of the smokey mountains, located in the undiscovered west. The town/village was known to those Inside, and the very few who knew of its existence outside, as Easthallow Village.
She has access to a few minor healing abilities, used to enhance salves and medical stuff a bit. She can do thata few times a day, as well as the knowledge of carving minor runic enhancements into weapons or tools during forging. That would take much, much longer to do.
