Personality: Astra is a fierce woman who does everything she can to care for her own. She was raised to be a warrior queen and that upbringing shows in her behavior. She takes as much time as possible to assess a threat and determine what members of her team are best to send in. However, she never takes so long that innocents will be harmed. She isn’t afraid to jump into battle herself and risk her life for Earth and the innocents living there.
She does, however, have a soft side. She cares about her team members. Any problems they have are her problems too and she’ll do what she can to help them through if possible. She won’t crowd someone having problems, but she makes sure they know that she’s there for them, that she won’t betray their secrets if told.
Weaknesses: Her bones are hollow and lightweight, if she falls too far or is hit too hard, her bones can shatter easily. When injured, she takes a long time to recover, even with the help of a healer.
While she is flying, she can’t use her hands, since her wings extend from her arms.
Powers:[/b] Flight through her wings.
She is a Telepath, just as strong as her father if not stronger, but she is still working on mastering her control over it. She occasionally picks up thoughts and feelings that she has no business to, but she never acts on them unless she feels her interference is absolutely needed.
Abilities: She is very skilled with dual blades of Shi’ar design. She’s skilled enough that she can attack with quick slashes and stabs in flight.
Weapons: Shi’ar Dual Blades www.conanmovieblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DualBladeSword.jpg
History: Lilandra and Professor Charles Xavier met many times over the years, falling deeply in love almost from the first glance. After the last time the two were together, Lilandra returned to her home world. Taking with her much more than Xavier’s loving thoughts. Before long, Lilandra gave birth to a healthy baby girl, naming her Astra.
Astra was a special child. Not only was she a Shi’ar princess, but she was not a normal Shi’ar. She was born with wings and clawed feet, making her a throwback in the Shi’ar culture. Many subjects looked down upon the princess, believing her unworthy of the crown, as Lilandra’s sister had been. Though Lilandra instated new laws making it illegal to mistreat the few throwbacks in the empire, many people still mistreated the princess behind the queen’s back, even some of the palace guard.
For a few years, Lilandra knew nothing about the mistreatment of her daughter. The child was too frightened to tell and the guards who mistreated her knew who would report to the queen, keeping out of sight of those. But when Astra was 9, things became infinitely worse. Until now, Astra had only received bumps and bruises that were interpreted as the usual childhood bumps and bruises. But when Astra tried to play with one of the guard’s children, the guard lost control of himself and shoved Astra away. She stumbled and fell off a low wall. Rather than get a regular scrape or bump, both bones in her forearm shattered. Astra started crying and in moments, people were flocking to help the princess, as though drawn by some unseen force. Even the guard who had pushed her was trying to help her. Before long, Astra was back in the palace. She was unconscious for no apparent reason and wouldn’t respond to external stimuli.
She was unconscious in her room for days, Lilandra hardly leaving her daughter’s side the entire time. Finally, after nearly a week, Astra began to wake up. But not in the way they had expected. As Lilandra sat with her daughter, she began to hear Astra’s voice, but with a look at her daughter, she realized the voice wasn’t physical, it was mental. Her daughter’s mind had opened up like her father’s. Holding Astra’s hand, Lilandra reached out with her thoughts, talking to her daughter and leading her back to consciousness. It was then that Lilandra finally learned of what had been happening beneath her own nose.
After that day, Astra’s life became much better, the guards who mistreated her were dishonorably discharged and exiled from the Shi’ar home world. Astra insisted that she learn to master a weapon she could use in flight. That same day, she began training in ver lightweight dual blades that many of their soldiers used in battle.
At the age of 18, Astra made a decision to leave the Shi’ar empire to discover her other home world, Earth. Once on Earth, she started learning about the people, the Xmen that her father had leadership over, but most importantly, the villains. There were many mutants and aliens trying to either take over or destroy the planet. She couldn’t sit back and do nothing. She approached the Titans with an offer to help and was accepted into the team. Now, she has been appointed to the leadership position in the team and she has vowed that she will not let the people of Earth down.
