PERSONALITY
DESCRIPTION:
Heartless - Astrid is cold, she knows it and welcomes it. The reason she has such an aptitude for elimination makes her even colder. She doesn't give a damn about most of human society beyond her own little 'family' in the Dark Brotherhood. She doesn't really give a damn about much, and couldn't care less about the war that rages on around Skyrim. She will kill anyone outside of her own family and not think twice about it. The exception is her 'family' of the Dark Brotherhood, especially her husband, who she loves deeply.
Cunning - Astrid relies on her own cunning much of the time in her life. Whatever she does, she usually doesn't let anyone, unless in the Brotherhood, know what she's doing, and sometimes not even then. To say that she doesn't trust them...well she does trust her family, she just doesn't trust the devil inside of them. And Cicero...well, she'd trust him as far as he could go without cackling.
Sexual - She's not so sexual in the form of actually showing off or purposefully using her body to her advantage, nothing like that. Astrid simply knows her own appeal, sexuality, and has an air of confidence that breathes that she has an appeal this way. Fortunately for her husband, she only has eyes for him.
Power-Hungry - Despite the power she has, Astrid does have a hunger for power, and this can be seen in that she doesn't like to be questioned by anyone. She's extremely attracted to power itself, which is one reason she was originally attracted to her husband.
Confident - There's nothing about Astrid that is self-doubt in any form. She's completely confident in herself, her abilities as a leader, and her prowess in battle, and shows it in everything she does. The way she acts, talks, walks, even breathes. Along with this, can be stubbornness, as she doesn't like to take orders from anyone else and often stubbornly sticks to any decision she makes.
HISTORY
History: Astrid's life started out somewhat normal, with her early years having nothing much to tell about, or so she says. Her journey to her current life started with her uncle. Her uncle started to make unwanted sexual advanced toward her when she was just a young teenage woman. Very...very unwanted. Astrid rejected him many times, but to no avail, as he just seemed to try harder, his mind corrupted.
Her family wouldn't believe her when she tried to tell them what was happening, and so Astrid took things into her own hands. Because she felt she needed to do something, Astrid came up with a plan to kill him. After all, she couldn't seem to escape these advances, and so the next step in the harsh life of Skyrim was to eliminate your problem with whatever means necessary.
She told her uncle that she would give him what he wanted if he would come to a secluded area late one night, and of course, being the man that he was, he eagerly jumped at the option, thinking that she had finally 'come to her senses' and wanted his attention. Things didn't work out quite as he had hoped, fortunately for her. Astrid had nothing more than a dagger she had stolen off her brother. She lay in waiting for him. When he did come, she...disposed of him, letting his body lay where she had killed him. It was then she learned her 'aptitude for elimination'.
And so she did it again. And again. Eventually the Dark Brotherhood contacted her, and she willingly joined the 'family'. Astrid has been there ever since. Over the years, she met her husband Arnbjorn, a previous Companion and Nord werewolf. She was attracted to him at first because of the power he had, and they married. Though she does love him, though perhaps in her own way, Astrid tends to not claim him first off to people that join the Dark Brotherhood, as a way to say that she doesn't play favorites. She quickly rose in power with her cunning and prowess, and now enjoys being the leader of the Dark Brotherhood.
WEAPONS, ABILITIES AND MAGIC
WEAPON(S): Blade of Woe - A unique dagger that absorbs 10 points of HP along with dealing damage.
Daedric Bow - Well this would be expected. The Daedric bow she bought is her second weapon when she cannot use her own unique dagger to get the job done. Astrid likes the bow as well as it's still silent and can kill from faraway.
MAJOR SKILLS: One Handed - Most of her work is completed with her Blade of Woe, a unique dagger she keeps on her hip at all times. Though she can use bulkier weapons, Astrid will always stick to one handed, finding the two handed clumsy and much too heavy for swift use. She kills quickly and silently, and so for this she is an expert with one handed, in particular the use of daggers, and finds it easy to either fight in close proximity, or throw her dagger with expert marksmanship.
Sneak - To say that she relies on this is the truth. Astrid is extremely quiet, and moves like a ghost. She won't be seen if she doesn't want to be, and has become a master at hiding herself and getting into nearly any position or place that she needs to be. She comes, she strikes, and she leaves.
Archery - Sometimes you cannot be close to your target. For this, Astrid relies heavily on her archery skills, and is just as much a master in this skill as she is with her dagger.
Leadership - Astrid is a confident and competent leader. She takes her position seriously, as she does her 'family', and is constantly attempting to make life better for the Dark Brotherhood. What she says goes, and no one questions her ability to make decisions.
Intelligence/Cunning - Astrid didn't become leader simply by being a bully. Despite her prowess, she acclaims her rise to power much on her own intelligence. The reason the big jobs are planned out by her is that she doesn't trust anyone else to look at all the other angles and actually make the best decision in the end. She will exploit anything or anyone in order for the Dark Brotherhood to rise.
MAGIC: None
ARMOR AND BELONGINGS
ARMOR: Shrouded Armor - Dressed up in the typical Dark Brotherhood assassin, Astrid keeps the red and black shrouded armor on herself. This armor gives her more resistance to poison, muffled footsteps, easier lock picking, and more stealth.
BELONGINGS:Shadowmere - Shadowmere is no normal horse, and is a very dark brown horse with glowing red eyes. He has very high heal points, and is a very aggressive mount, often helping in battle if needed. He's part of the brotherhood, and is well respected among them.
