Name: Astryd Sorokin
Age: 83, looks mid-20's
Species: Fallen
Description/Appearance: Astryd stands at around 5'9", has very fair skin and golden-blond hair which she usually wears quite short. Her eyes change colour depending on her mood, ranging from green to brown to red and everything between, although they generally settle on green. She is very slim with a boyish figure, has no scars, piercing or tattoos and is not fussy about what clothes she wears as long as they are comfortable, although she does tend to wear a lot of white.
Like most angels, she has wings that can be hidden at will. Astryd's are grey in colour and functional more than nice to look at.
Faceclaim : Tilda Swinton
Alternative Forms: As well as her wings, Astryd is able to shapeshift, her favourite forms are a large snowy owl, a white cat and a fox.
Weapons: Astryd does not carry weapons, rejects guns entirely but can use a sword if pushed.
Skills: Astryd can play the violin and the piano and is a skilled painter and artist.
Special/Racial abilities: Astryd has fairly strong powers of healing, can teleport short distances and form a protective shield around others as long as she is in contact with them. She also has some minor control over wind, meaning that she can manipulate the air around her.
Personality: Because of her seclusion from an early age, Astryd is very shy around new people, but once she feels comfortable with them, she tends to be very warm and friendly. She is highly protective of her friends, to the point where she would consider violence to anyone that threatened them. She suffers from mild claustrophobia, and doesn't like being cooped up for too long, and loves animals and nature.
She often comes across as very timid, but if she feels threatened or intimidated, she can very easily lose control of herself and become very violent, possibly a side effect of living with two parents who were both ashamed of what they were and tended towards hermitism.
History: Astryd's parents were both Fallen, and both inmates of the Shadowford Institue. Fortunately, they were not there for very long, being two of the last to be brought in. They did, however, see and experience their share of horror before they escaped during the revolt. During the time they were there, Astryd's mother gave birth to a child, which was taken away from her immediatly after the birth and never seen again. Whether it lived or died is a mystery. After their escape, they fled the country and went into hiding.
Astryd was born and brought up in seclusion in America. Her parents were both killed in a fight with a gang of Demons who mistook them for true Angels, and since then she has lived alone. She has just come to Shadowford hoping to find some answers about her parents life before Shadowford, and maybe to meet some people that knew them or can give her some insight into the Institute as her parents refused to discuss anything with her. Mostly though, she hopes to meet the sibling she has never known.
