PERSONALITY
Positives
• Determined
• Adaptive
• Sociable
• Calm
• Level-Headed
Astrellea is very much like people would expect her to be: determined, calm, and level-headed. She rarely shows any sign of a temper, even in stressful situations and is also able to prevent her emotions from leaking out in times of trouble. She is also quite social, able to interact with various people and do it well. She is also quite adaptive, able to switch into whatever role she needs to take depending on the circumstances. This has proven to be an advantageous trait of her personality.
Negatives
• Prideful
• Busy
• Stubborn
• Merciless
• To-the-Point
Though she is a bundle of many positive traits, there are some issues with her being as well. She is prideful, not willing to admit her mistakes or seeing herself as higher than the average individual. Unlike many others, she keeps herself extremely busy. This prevents her from doing anything not related to her job, unless she is on vacation that is (which is almost never). In this regard, she can also be very “To-the-Point”, telling what needs to be said without giving any cushion or sugar coating. Astrea is not someone to beat around the bush. She also has a competitive side, which leads her to be quite Merciless in a variety of situations, especially when paired with her prideful personality.

History
Everyone in the Shimon Famiglia knows that the Tenth Generation Desert Guardian, Julie Katou, had a bad habit of chasing women. Something that few people know, however, is that one of his encounters with a young woman led to her becoming pregnant.
The child born was a young woman who possessed Julie's desert flame. She was taken in and raised by Julie and his wife as one of their own. This young woman was named Gracie Katou, a calm and quiet girl who enjoyed spending time with her siblings. She had a natural aptitude for not just the desert flame, but also a secondary flame. She was originally told she would become the next generation's desert guardian. However, upon her sixteenth birthday, she discovered her origins, and felt absolutely hateful towards her parents. She fled her home, knowing full well what would happen if she stayed.
It wasn't long before she herself became married to man in Germany and bore him a beautiful and healthy baby girl. They named her Astrellea Rosaline. The should-have-been-guardian felt the strong presence of her father's desert flame in her daughter. Even though she still held a dislike for her parents, she decided to send a letter to her father and inform him of the grand news. The letter she received back, however, was not comforting.
Her father warned her to keep Astrellea's presence a secret- he feared that the worst would come to pass should any of her siblings discover the strength of the infant's flame. As such, Gracie immediately proceeded to seal her daughter's flame, deciding that only at the most opportune time would she unseal it and allow her daughter to meet her true family. Her father had even hinted at Astrea being the heir to her position in the family. Gracie decided it would be her daughter's choice to accept or deny it.
However, that time never came to pass- after the raid by Saverio, Gracie was targeted to prevent a new heir to the position she should have claimed. Her father, who had Astrea at the time of the attack, decided to move to a Berlin in order to protect his daughter, fearing that it was someone who he had made an enemy attack his wife.

~~Years Later~~
Astrellea has little knowledge of her past experiences due to a severe head trauma she suffered at the age of thirteen. She had always been proficient at the cello, the instrument her father paid for her to practice. Besides that, her father also instructed her in swordplay, teaching her a variety of sword styles. She had a particular interest in snake swords.The first time her desert flame manifested itself was when she was playing a concert for a a high school performance. She was performing solo, but she imagined that there was a whole orchestra playing with her. She felt a strange sensation run from her body into the air, but kept playing on. After the performance, people came up to her and asked where she found such amazing instrument players to perform with her. At first, she didn't know what they were talking about, but then it dawned on her that her imagination had taken reality to the individuals of the audience. She tested this theoretical gift out at two other instances, where she first experienced the sensation of the desert flame.
She spent the following year and a half honing her cello, flame, and swordplay skills. She could only get so far with her flame abilities, since she didn't have a medium that could apparently handle her gift. Six months ago, she decided her skills were good enough to face most things that might await her in Japan. Two weeks ago, she stepped into town after riding the train in. Before she left, however, her father gave her a letter from her mother telling her to find a man named Salvatore, who her mother called her "boss" or a man named Julie Katou, who was supposedly her grandfather. Either way, she hoped to find them in the town as she stepped off the train. Her first thoughts were:
Hello Destiny.
BOX INFORMATION
Alias: Earthen Muse
Affiliation: Shimon – True Desert Guardian
Alignment: Neutral Good
Flame Attribute & Abilities:
Desert Flame
>>Percezione Polveroso: This debuffing illusion starts off by summoning a fine mist of dust that envelops the entire area (surrounding 400m). The illusion harshly affects the perception of her foes, causing them to often misjudge various traits of their target, such as distance, size, number, etc. She can use her cello to further the strength of the illusion.
Duration: 1 post Charge(Cover Area) / 7 posts Illusions / 2 posts Cool Down
>>Armi Misericordioso: This offensive illusion is extremely useful, especially when Astrellea is caught without her weapon. Using this illusion, she can utilize her desert flame to produce a weapon. Although this illusion does not have any tangible force behind it, whatever wounds are inflicted by the desert weapons is felt, due to the body and mind believing that a weapon has struck them. The desert guardian often uses this illusion to disable her opponents long enough for her to get away, since she cannot kill a foe with this illusion.

N/A
Equipment:
Queen's Reins: A snake sword designed to compliment Astrea's fighting style. The sword appears to as a light violet long sword. She was trained in the art of sword fighting by her father, who taught swordplay for for a living. She is proficient in close-range combat, but she really excels in the usage of the chainwhip function. To activate it, she presses a small trigger where her thumb is. The sword quickly lengthens, allowing her blade to fly and strike her foes with a series of whiplashes. Often hidden in her cello case.
