To The Ends Of Faêrun : Chapter Twelve: Binding

This series is book two of a fanfic I have already written called Astarion Epilogue: An Adventure in Making Life

Master List Here for Books One, and Two

*List includes a prequel that is essentially one-shots of their adventures over the fifty years after the battle at the end of the game*

Warnings: Blood, Sex, Violence, NSFW 18+, Smut

Summary: Tav, Astarion, and Apple all come face-to-face with the goddess Angharrad about little Apple’s binding contract and what happens if they refuse to answer the call of adventure.

Comments are always appreciated! I always think my writing is shit.

Tav and Astarion pounded their way upstairs, Apple in his arms. She cried into his chest, not fully knowing why she was in so much trouble but just knowing that she had done something wrong. Confusion and fear rattled through her while Astarion and Tav only felt fear and anger at what had been done to their child. She had been used to satisfy Angharradh’s cruel ends and get Tav to submit to the deal by forcing her child to accept.

How Anagharradh found out what Tav’s answer would be was easy enough to guess. The tattoo acted as a conduit between her and Tav. Linking them together and allowing her to listen in on anything she wanted a lot, like the eye Wyll once wore when Mizora was his patron. She had probably been listening to Astarion and Tav's whole conversation about the deal.

They cleared the top of the stairs and made their way to the master bedroom. Not stopping, they flung open the glass doors leading out into the cool night air, and Tav held out her forearm to the moonlight. There was a hum of power as the moon's light kissed her skin, and another wave of anger washed through her.

“Angharradh!” Tav screamed her name. “Come out from wherever you are hiding!” Her chest heaved as her white-hot rage took over.

In a flash of blinding light, Angharradh appeared with a coy smirk on her face. She glanced over the three of them, taking in the rage that was flowing from Astarion and Tav. Frowning at the sobbing Apple in Astarion’s arms. Her eyes locked with Tav’s as a smile appeared back on her face.

“What have you done to sweet little Asteria?” Angharradh chided. “When I saw her earlier, she was beaming with happiness; now look at her.” She motioned towards her. “She’s a sobbing mess.”

“You son of a bitch.” Astarion put down Apple and charged towards Angharradh, stopping a few steps in front of Tav. “Let her out of whatever deal you made with her! She is too young to understand what it is that you asked of her.”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that.” Angharradh let an innocent smile spread across her face. “She already signed the contract.”

Sparks danced between Astarion’s fingers as he flexed and then closed his fist tight into a fist. “If you do not let her out of the deal this instant, I will add you to my slain gods!” His eyes darkened as he bared his fangs, ready to strike.

“A vampire, Tav?” She clicked her tongue. “Such disgusting pests.”

Astraion lunged at her, fist cocked back, ready to spring forward. Angharradh rolled her eyes at his temper getting the better of him as she raised a shield. His fist hit solid air, stopping him in place as he screamed and fought the invisible force that prevented him from connecting. With a flip of her wrist, Astarion was sent flying back his body, only stopping once it made contact with Tav’s. Knocking the wind out of her. Tav caught him before he hit the ground, his body shaking with barely contained rage. She stood behind him, as Astarion crouched, trying to get a handle on the fury that ripped through him.

“And you want to make more children with such a beast.” Angharradh looked down her nose at him. “It’s a wonder how young Astaria came out such a polite little girl.”

“Daddy!” Apple ran to Astarion, pressing her face to his chest.

“I’m alright.” He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her gently against her soft white curls.

Tav moved in front of Apple and Astarion, using her body as a shield. “She’s six.” Tav ground out. “You made a deal with a six-year-old.”

“She seemed more than happy to help her mother, and after what I heard last night, I’m glad I came to her when I did.” Her eyes darkened. “Before you did something you would later come to regret.”

Apple sobbed into Astarion’s chest as Angharradh fixed Tav with a cool stare. She scoffed and rolled her eyes as she took in the sight of the three of them. Tav could feel Astarion’s rage building as Apple continued to cry against him, and the goddess looked at them with disgust.

Tav’s jaw ticked with anger. “Let my daughter out of the deal.”

“No.” She gave Tav a cruel smile. “What’s done is done; the only way out of the deal is to finish it.” Angharradh looked annoyed. “Find my daughter and bring her home.”

“And what if we refuse?” Tav grasped at something to get her out of the deal. “What stops us from staying at home where we are?”

“If my request is not fulfilled, then your daughter belongs to me.”

Tav’s blood turned to ice in her veins at the Goddess's words. “What does that mean exactly?”

Astarion picked Apple up off the ground and pulled her closer to his chest, turning away slightly from the goddess. His eyes dared her to try and take Apple away from him. Eyes full of hate and murderous intent if she so much as tried.

“I mean just that.” She sounded like she was suggesting something as simple as a change in the weather. “I will take Astaria and raise her as if she was my own.” She looked to Astarion, who was glaring at her. “She signed the contract.”

Angharradh produced a scroll that glowed just as she did and unfurled it. At the bottom of the parchment was a signature written as if a child had done it. Apple’s full legal name sprawled out on the paper. Tav felt like someone had kicked her in the stomach. As far as she could tell, this was binding, and Apple had sealed hers and their fates to the quest.

“What if we kill you?” Astarion spat. “Would that break the contract?”

“You could certainly try.” Angharradh leveled him with a challenging stare. “I wouldn’t recommend it, however, based on what just happened to you. I could still wipe you from the face of this planet like the leech you are.” Her voice dripped with venom as she produced a piece of parchment.

Tav shook with fury as she read the contract that was in front of her. Apple had signed her life away in order to fix her. Her sweet girl was just trying to help, and this Goddess had taken advantage of her to get what she wanted in the end. If they tried to break the deal, Apple would be taken away from them. Bile rose in Tav’s throat as she stared at her little girl's unsure signature.

I, Asteria Ancunin, hereby swear my life in service to this quest to find and return the Goddess Mielikki to her mother and, in doing so, reap the rewards requested of the Goddess Angharradh, queen of the Arvandor. These rewards are the ability to lift the limitations bestowed upon elven kind for my mother, Tav Ancunin. To produce new elven souls from her womb. If I fail in my duties, I will return to Arvandor with the Goddess Angharradh and serve her until my dying breath.

Astarion furiously read the contract, looking for any loopholes, cursing as he read every line. Reaching deep within his mind to pull out every scrap of knowledge he could remember about contracts and law from his time as a magistrate. From what he could tell, it was binding and could only be broken if the quest was completed or one of the two listed in the contract died in some way, shape, or form. Undiluted loathing bubbled up, filling Astarion with more rage than he had felt in recent years. Angharradh had trapped his child in a contract she didn’t fully understand, and he couldn’t help but remember when his old master, Cazador, had asked him to become one of his spawn. He, too, had omitted many details that, if he had known, Astarion would have never agreed.

“I’ll rip your throat out, witch.” Astarion took a step forward, and Tav stopped him. “What are you doing? We can’t let her do this?”

“We can’t win against her Astarion, not when it’s just the two of us.” Tav felt powerless. “We are unarmed.”

“We can certainly try!” Astarion snarled, leveling Angharradh with a look that could kill. “I’m not just going to lie down and submit.” Astarion snarled. ”I’m not giving up our child.”

“I never said we were going to!” Tav shouted back. “There's only one thing we can do, and I know you’re not going to like it, but if we want to get Apple out of this deal, it is our only option at the moment.”

“I know what you’re going to say, and you’re right. I don’t like it.” Astarion cradled the back of Apple’s head and kissed her on the side of the face.

“Astaria is going either on the quest or with me. The choice is yours.” Angharradh was starting to sound impatient. “Give me your answer.”

“Shut up!” Tav rolled her eyes and spat at her. “You will have your answer in a moment.” Tav took a few steps towards Astarion and closed the distance. “We have to.”

“I read the contract, and it’s binding.” Astarion blew out a breath in frustration.

“We’ll need Gale and at least Shadowheart.” Astarion frowned. “Wyll and Karlach are too old to go on adventures, and bringing Gale is pushing it.”

“He’s at least an archmage, so time works for him a bit differently.” Tav let out a heavy sigh. “So we have no choice.” She looked at him with desperation in her eyes. “Are we doing this?”

“Yes.” Astarion bit his bottom lip. “I guess we are.”

“I look forward to Mielikki's safe return.” Angharradh smiled.

“Fuck off.” Astarion cursed her.

“And with that, I will depart.” Angharradh bowed and then vanished.

They all stood in silence for several moments, processing what just happened. What Apple had just bound herself to? Tav started to think about what their next move would be where they would start with their search for Mielikki. While Astarion thought about all the ways he was going to kill Angharradh for what she had done. Apple just held her face against Astarion, waiting for the punishment she knew would be coming.

“Apple, you won’t be going to school for a while.” Tav broke the silence.

“How long?” Apple’s voice was horse as she spoke.

“Probably not for a few months,” Astarion answered. “And we are going to have a nice long chat about not accepting contracts from gods, goddesses, demons, or devils.”

“I know you were just trying to help, honey, but this is not how we help.” Tav walked over and patted her back. “Next time, maybe just do the dishes or show Mommy some magic.”

“Okay…” Apple pouted as all her tears had dried up.

“We’ll need a few days to gather supplies and ask the others to join us.” Astarion started to make his way back inside.

Tav followed close behind. “Right, let's finish dinner and then head over to Gale’s; we’ll need to tell him right away that Apple won’t be in school for a while anyway.”

“Why don’t you go talk to the old wizard while I finish dinner and talk to this one.” Astarion continued down the stairs.

“Are you sure you don’t want to go?” Tav looked at him with a puzzled look.

“I’m sure.” Astarion seethed. “I’m already in a foul mood, and listening to Gale prattle on is not going to help matters.” He stopped at the bottom of the stairs and placed a kiss on Tav’s lips before continuing. “It will just lead to one dead wizard.”

“I can talk to him tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow is a Monday, and he will be busy with whatever he does regarding running that school.” He cut her off. “Go now and come back as soon as you're done. We'll be here when you get back.”

“As long as you are okay with that.” She gave him a sad smile.

“Can I go with Mom to see Uncle Gale?”

“No.” Tav and Astarion spoke at the same time.

Apple shrank down as small as she could get in Astarion’s arms. This was the first time in her life that she had indeed done something that landed her in trouble, and she had no idea what for. She didn’t understand what she had done wrong, and Tav could see that in her sad eyes. She thought she had done the right thing in accepting the quest because it would help Tav.

“Listen, honey, I know you thought you were doing the right thing, but sometimes doing the right thing and what we think is right are two completely different things.” Tav patted her on the head before waiting for her to respond.

“I don’t get it.”

“Well, you’re six, so that’s understandable.” Tav gave Astarion a kiss before moving past him towards the linen closet. “I’ll be no more than an hour any longer than that, and please come and save me from Gale’s ramblings.”

“Will do, Darling.”

Astarion carried Apple towards the kitchen, stopping to watch as Tav opened the door to Waterdeep, and purple tendrils of the weave enveloped her. Drawing her in and swallowing her into the void.

“Now, my sweet Apple.” Astarion shifted his attention towards Apple. “We are going to have a long chat about all things we do not agree to without a parent present, at least until you are no longer living under my roof.”

Apple swallowed hard as Astarion started his lecture.

[basic ID in alt, detailed ID below]

i love them more than words can say. already i wish i could listen to the children's adventure for the first time all over again.

[ID: 1. A height chart lineup showing the main characters of The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One side-by-side in the main campaign and the Children's Adventure. In order it is Eursulon, Suvi, Ame & Cool Dog, and Grandmother Wren & Taro.

Eursulon is a huge bear-like creature standing bipedal on digitigrade legs. As an adult (left) he stands to a height of 220cm. His fur around his ears and forehead resembles the plumage of a horned owl. He has an ursine nose and large tusks, and big, hazel eyes. He has white freckles on his face. He is wearing a long green cloak and beige and brown traveller's garb, and a golden pauldron is partially hidden by his cloak on his shoulder. It has a small dent in it but is well polished. In his right hand (viewer's left) he holds a round wooden shield, and in his left hand he holds an unsheathed sword, Wavebreaker, with pale blue silk lining wrapped around the hilt. He has a neutral expression.

As a child, he was still large at about 145cm tall, but had a rounder face, smaller fangs, and shorter feet. He is unclothed except for his golden pauldron, undented, and instead of a sword he is clutching a broom handle with both paws. He is smiling.

Suvi is a Black human girl who stands at around 183cm as an adult. She has a turquoise afro which is pulled back neatly into a bun and decorated with fine gold chains as well as a round golden censer hanging from the back. She is dressed in a smart Imperial blue uniform with gold and silver trim, and wields in her right hand a crystal staff decorated with the Imperial sigil and wings made of floating shards. In her left hand she holds a book bound in dark blue leather. Instead of wearing glasses, her brown eyes are magically treated, which causes a teal sheen to be visible over her pupils. She is smiling confidently.

As a child, she was about 120cm tall and her hair was still dark brown and not tied back. She has yellow asteria flowers in her hair as well as a pencil and a cool leaf, and wore huge round glasses. She wears a red button-up dress with pockets, stripey white tights, and smart indigo shoes. She clutches a brown canvas-bound book to her chest and looks wide-eyed.

Ame is an East Asian girl who stands at around 150cm as an adult. She has long, dark straight hair and dark brown eyes. She has her right hand on her hip while her left hand adjusts her giant red witch's hat. The hat has a white underside and there is a gold censer attached to the pointed tip. She is wearing a white wrap top patterned with pink petals, and the long flowy sleeves have been buttoned back. She has two bracelets around her left wrist, one is woven lilac and green, and the other is small pink flowers chained together. She has red skirt that resembles a toadstool, with white spots on the cap and pink ruffles under the rim. She also has a white half-apron with several pockets tied to her waist by dark pink cord, which also holds a light brown pouch. She has one skinned knee showing above her flowery pink-and-white socks, and red stompy boots. She is smiling out of the corner of her mouth. Wrapping around her legs is Cool Dog, her fox familiar, eyeing the viewer suspiciously.

As a child, she was extremely small at 100cm. She has a bowl cut and dimples. She wears an oversized yellow shirt with white stripes, the sleeves pushed up past her elbows, and orange dungarees. She has muddy red welly boots, and is wearing the lilac and green bracelet. She is grinning broadly with her eyes shut and holding her fists up near her chest.

Grandmother Wren is an old witch standing at about 155cm with light brown skin and frizzy grey-and-white-streaked hair and brown eyes. She is wearing a dark purple witch's hat with a golden buckle and a curling tip, a knitted lilac shawl around her shoulders, and a cable-knit yellow sweater. She is wearing a stripy half-apron over a floor-length patchwork skirt, and is leaning on a gnarled wooden cane with both hands. She is smiling ruefully. Taro, her rooster familiar, is standing on the brim of her hat.

2. A cropped version of the same drawing, this time including Eursulon's glamoured forms. His glamoured form is a Black human, resembling Suvi as if he were her brother, although his eyes remain hazel and his hair is ginger instead of dark brown. He has dark brown freckles on his face and a gap in his front teeth, although the gap can only be seen in his childhood glamour as he is smiling. As an adult, the glamour is dressed identically to the unglamoured form although he's shorter by about 25cm, and his hair is braided back neatly into a bun. He also has some facial hair on his sideburns. As a child, his hair is shorter and styled into mini locs, and he is wearing a white shirt and green shorts, though still barefoot. He is about 15cm shorter than his unglamoured form.

3. A cropped version of the remaining lineup, showing Suvi, Ame & Cool Dog, and Grandmother Wren & Taro. /end ID]

Fang in Tales of Asteria (credit+dl)

[frostythefrostedfox]

Guess what, if I can use my mouse to model and pick up a pen to modify textures, how hard can it be to draw?

Actually is pretty hard, but there is nothing you can't learn by staring at a million tutorials, so I did this, and I'll be putting it on the fridge with the orange magnet.

And since I'm already here, why not infodump some more about this goofy goober.

The neon-coloured parts of his fur glow in the dark, including the teeth and claws.

His long fangs make him drag any letter that is pronounced with the lips so he doesn't cuts his lower lip, like the F, V, P, W and a few more

Despite being younger than his sister, he appears older, this is because normally Foxes live less than Eagles.

For his species, he is on the taller and nimbler side

Although he has more than enough money to repaint his equipment, he prefers to leave the dents and scratches.

A side effect of his tracheal implant is his 'autotune', best way to describe it is if someone was constantly speaking the way Laura Les sings

Left Handed

His favourite colour is Red

His favourite food is Ice Cream Cereal, just let any icecream melt on any cereal and eat it.

He prefers to ingest his Reactive Fluid in the shape of lollipops, preferably mint flavoured.

His hardware and augments only become active above 90bpm, and the overdive only triggers above 150bpm (basically just play K/DA or asteria)

A brief summary of Asteria - Recollections of Eden (Part Four)

So it’s been a couple of years since I did any translation work on this but with the news of Tales of Asteria shutting down I wanted to finally finish my summary of Recollections of Eden (aka the White Lions) arc.

You can start from Part One here

Let’s finish this! The final summary;

With all three barriers surrounding Shangrace now disabled the core group head into the city and fight to the top of the tower to reach Van and Lazaris.

As they climb the tower and break further barriers they can hear Lazaris’ voice.

The dragon monster from the shrine priestess trials appears and though they manage to injure one dragon, another shows up and blocks the path;

In their final appearance the White Lions show up to take over the fight which allows the others to move on and confront Van and Lazaris. Farewell to these amazing outfits!

Letting the White Lions do their thing the group continues on. At the top of the tower is a ball of light and Mikleo realises its’ the same as the one he saw in the ruins which helped him regain his memories of their original world.

Lazaris arrives and says that with the disappearance of that last ball of light this new world is complete.

Lazaris then attacks them but Colette still struggles to understand why they must fight and why she can feel Lazaris is hurting still. (As a side note anyone who has their original memory is referred to as a ‘sinner’ in this story. I didn’t know that when I was translating previously)

We finally get some backstory on Lazaris. Describing events in a previous Asteria arc (or possibly alluding to Radiant Mythology 3) Lazaris tells how the appearance of Kanonno (the descender) started everything. 

How they came into existence at that time and how since then they’ve became exhausted watching how humans fought and killed each other, living creatures and even the world itself.

We briefly fight Lazaris and it looks like the group will be overwhelmed when Colette awakens again to her power and uses it to stop everyone from becoming crystals.

But she doesn’t want to hurt Lazaris, Colette has finally worked out that Lazaris was born as a collection of human consciousness and is not their enemy.

She wants to work with Lazaris to return the world to its former state and make a better future. Lazaris repeatedly denies Colette’s help and that’s when the big cheese himself appears and to everyone’s surprise Van attacks Lazaris.

The group cannot believe Van is now trying to kill Lazaris but we get a little more backstory on why the two were working together in the first place.

Still in Van’s eyes Lazaris’ role is now over and he wants to destroy them to finally complete this new ‘perfect’ world.

The group step in to defend Lazaris and Van tries to reason and bring them round to his way of thinking.

Sorey and the others take responsibility as humans for how their world became and promise if things return to normal that they’ll make the world right again.

None of them want to live in this new fake perfect world and leave their old ones behind because Van’s ultimate wish is to destroy everything and start again.

As they prepare to fight Van, Colette once again offers Lazaris her protection and assurance that they will make the world a better place.

We push Van back once but he comes back stronger than ever.

However Lazaris will not be taken down and musters enough strength to fight back.

I had a very difficult boss fight with Van to get to this point and it didn’t seem like we would be able to defeat him when Lazaris finally steps in.

Lazaris crystallise both themself and Van, Colette and the rest of the group’s words seem to have finally won them over.

The world starts to return to normal, all the traces of crystals disappear.

A few of the group we haven’t seen for awhile show up and tell us the world outside is returning to normal. 

They are sad hearing what happened but Colette knows Lazaris is still with them and watching over to make sure they keep their promise to make a better world.

Raven asks Ludger and the others if they saw the White Lions on their way up but Ludger tells them no. It seems they have already disappeared from this world along with the crystals.

One by one they are engulfed by a bright light and start to disappear. Everyone is worried they won’t remember these events later on and all say their goodbyes now.

Still, despite everything they are finally returning home.

Epilogue!!

Back in the regular world the various groups discuss what happened. It seems like only a select few people remember what happened.

Raven explains it here but people who remembered the original world are the ones who now retain their memories of Lazaris and Van’s world.

I didn’t see this in my reading earlier but there were some stone mouments which also appeared with Lazaris’ world. I asked @sekaiki-honey​ about this as well as why Colette had ‘the will of the world’ inside her and they said;

Colette, Lloyd, Zelos vow to keep their promise to Lazaris and make a better world.

The end!

Thanks to everyone who read this far. I know I summarised it heavily and probably missed a lot of stuff but there’s still a couple of months til the game shuts down and I encourage you to read it yourself if you want info on a particular character’s journey or more backstory. 

I am also sorry for the poor quality of the photos and translations as well as how long this took to finish but I don’t speak Japanese or have much free time so this is the best I could do. I wanted to record the story somewhere for people who were as curious as me before the game shut down and I’m happy I could finally do that.

Thank you again!

Chance to get Bond Awakening enabled 5☆ Orie [Kimono], Zelos [Kimono], Sync [Kimono] and Yuna [Kimono].

The already-running awakening partners Hasta, Seles, Van and Kanata can be used to awaken Orie, Zelos, Sync and Yuna respectively.

✶ This gacha features a 7 Step Up gacha, where you pay a discounted rate to draw 10 characters and continuously raise your chances of pulling a 5☆. The fourth step is free, and with the seventh step a Bond Awakening enabled 5☆ character is guaranteed. Steps will not be resetted even if you get a Bond Awakening enabled 5☆ character before the seventh step.

✶You will also get rewards after a certain number of steps, and with the 21st you will be able to choose one of the featured characters (you need a total of 810 Asteria Stones to reach the 21st step.)

In this gacha will also reappear other Bond Awakening enabled 5☆ characters. The rates of this gacha’s featured characters will be higher than other 5☆.

A special pick up event will be held, where one of the featured characters will have the summon rate higher than the others on certain days:

Orie: from 1/2 (Mon) 16:00 to 1/5 (Thu) 15:59

Zelos: from 1/5 (Thu) 16:00 to 1/8 (Sun) 15:59

Yuna: from 1/11 (Wed) 16:00 to 1/14 (Sat) 15:59

For the event, the single daily pull will cost 3 Asteria Stones instead of 5.

There’s also the paid option to get a 5☆ character with a multi gacha.

Number 2: Asteria

Asteria is a menace. She'll bite anyone with those lovely fangs she inherited from her father. She is Rash by nature.

Number 3: Flan

Flan is one of my adoptive kids! Her broken front horn makes her upset, so she covers it up with cardboard. Poor thing... she's Docile by nature.

Aster TV Tropes

Warning, this tropes will contain spoilers for the future fanfic adaptation of The Cuphead Show done by @akluthor1998, @nataliepthatsme and myself. Please read with care and enjoy.

A young Aurora Sprigon and Kaichi’s potential girlfriend. Shockingly, the Devil originally created her to spy on the Dreamstones and to contain any information he could use against them or to lure them into a trap. Unfortunately for the Devil, Aster has a heart unlike the rest of his creations and she eventually turns against him and defects to the heroes as their closest friend.

Action Girl: While nowhere near the extant of any of the Dreamstones, Asteria does developed some Take a Level in Hardcore by using her magic against the baddies when push comes to shove.

Actually Pretty: She visibly smiled and muffled a giggle when Henchman promptly mentioned “Head!” when the Devil referred Cuphead as “that cup”, while responding in mild annoyance, “Thank you, Henchman!”

Adorable Evil Minion: Averted on the evil part since she’s more reluctant and has more morals than the Devil had let on, but Aster is still really cute.

Adorable Fluffy Tail:

All-Loving Hero:

Beauty Equals Goodness: By a Sprigon’s standards, she’s as purely good as she’s lovely.

Beauty is Never Tarnished: While the Devil’s twisted demonstration of Ms. Chalice turning into a pile of dust was unnecessarily graphic as Henchman would put it mildly, how Aster was erased was more tamed but more heartbreaking as she is turned into glass and slowly shatters into oblivion… in a devastated Kaichi’s no less, while still retaining her cuteness.

Because You Were Nice to Me:

Becoming the Mask: She truly came to enjoy the company of Kaichi, the five humans and the Cups, though she was still the Devil’s minion at the time before her Heel-Face Turn.

Beware the Nice One:

Blue is Heroic: She has Innocent Blue Eyes. The tips of her wing as well as her hair scrunchie ribbon are dark blue. Even her scarf is icy blue and she is among the good guys.

The Cutie:

Cute Little Fangs:

Damsel in Distress:

Defecting for Love:

Disney Death:

Does Not Like Spam:

Concerning mushrooms, she certainly takes more after Katie.

She really doesn’t like anything overly spicy.

She can agree that pineapple pizza’s too weird.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: With his constant threats of unmaking Aster should she fail or defy him to the point of frightening her into submission, the Devil’s relationship with her screams Abusive Parents or legal guardian bullying and threatening the abused child to stay silent so they can easily elude suspicion of the authorities and social services.

Easily Forgiven: No one bare any grudges when she told them that the Devil made her and she was more reluctant than willing to go along with his schemes of using her as a spy. They also sympathised the fact that the Devil was cruel enough to threaten to unmake her should she either fail, question or even dare so defy him with the snap of his fingers.

Embarrassing Nickname: Implied. Her “sister”, Cyra calls her “cotton candy” based on the colour of her hair on certain occasions and visibly unamused by it,

Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: As sweet as she is, even Aster can’t stand King Dice and Anubis coming onto Lexie and Natty. And the disdain also extends to the Devil, not just because of personal grudges but for all the times he tries to come in between Katie and Validor.

Everyone Has Standards:

Expressive Ears:

Expy:

Aster was inspired by Smurfette from The Smurfs, thus the Devil being Aster’s Gargamel.

She was also inspired by the character, NiGHTS from the game, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. They are both characters associated with the night as well as stars, have pink and purple colours, have blue eyes and were created by the main antagonists, only to betray them and defect to the side of good for personal and very good reasons.

She might also have a bit of inspiration from Cynder from The Legend of Spyro Trilogy as they are both used by both the Big Bad against their will.

Extreme Doormat: She started out as this under the Devil’s command, reluctantly going along with his schemes to manipulate and lure the Dreamstones and Cup Brothers into his trap and easily submits by the threats of him erasing her out of existence as he easily had created her.

Fairy Dragon:

Fell Asleep Crying:

Flower Motifs: Is often associated with her namesakes.

Foil:

In some ways, Aster and Ms. Chalice are somewhat alike but still different from one another. They are both forced to betray their friends while the Devil blackmails and threatens them. Chalice. an orphan using her talents to charm the people into giving her free stuff to survive and she rashly made a deal with the Devil to give her the ability to switch between her ghost and living forms at will in return of a favour at a later date. While Aster was created by the Devil to be his spy.

Aster and Henchman are both the Token Good Teammate, are very nice in general, purple and display some Everyone Has Some Standards, however, while Henchman is completely loyal to the Devil, Aster pulls a Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal when the Devil pushed her to betray the Dreamstones and the Cup Brothers too far by constantly threatening to unmake her should she either fail or question him.

To King Dice, the only things close to what Aster can relate to is that they’re both associated with the colour purple and they both work for the Devil. But while Dice is loyal to the Devil and is a sleazy Smug Snake about it, Aster is a Nice Girl and is more reluctant and regretful of her role, terrified of the Devil’s constant threats to her existence.

Friendship Trinket:

Hardcore Adorable:

Heel-Face Turn:

Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak:

Graceful Ladies Like Purple: She’s a very feminine and graceful young Sprigon and her fur is purely purple.

Grew a Spine:

Guilt-Ridden Accomplice: To the Devil.

Happily Adopted: By the Dreamstones and their friends after they had successfully restored her back into existence when the Devil erased her in retaliation of her defection.

Heroic Sacrifice:

Hidden Depths:

Innocent Blue Eyes: To represent her youthful and docile nature.

Karmic Jackpot: She was restored back into existence by the combination of Katie’s imagination and Lexie’s paintbrush, given a Friendship Trinket as well as a new hairstyle and is happily accepted into the girls’ friendship circle and extended family as a true Sprigon.

Let’s Get Dangerous:

Like a Duck Takes to Water:

Light is Good: She has some white in her colouring and she is on the side of good.

Long Hair is Feminine: One if instinctive features that differs her from Kaichi is her long rosy pink mane and she is very girly.

The Love Interest: If any Ship Tease between her and Kaichi is of any indication.

Meaningful Name:

Aster means “star” in Greek and her magic specialises in stars and auroras.

Aster is also the name of a flower and her she has some colours of some of her namesakes.

Mistreated-Induced Betrayal: Part of the motivation for her Heel-Face and Defection for Love. She had put up enough the Devil’s constant threats of erasing her and seeing her only as a tool of discord and deception for the heroes, thus putting her foot down and assisted the girls in rescuing Kaichi.

The Mole:

My God, What Have I Done?:

Nice Girl:

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished:

Not Afraid of You Anymore:

Nice, Mean and In-Between: Aster is the Nice while Cyra is mildly the Mean and Kaichi is the In-Bewteen.

Official Couple: With Kaichi later on in the series.

Pink Girl, Blue Boy: The Pink Girl to Kaichi’s Blue Boy.

Pink Means Feminine: Her mane, spines and wings are bright, rosy pink to show off her feminine side.

The Power of Friendship:

Puppy-Dog Eyes: She has her share of mastery of that technique.

Ridiculously Cute Critter: Just look at her!

Rose-Haired Sweetie: She has a head full of long, rosy pink hair and she is as sweet as can be.

Ship Tease: With Kaichi. The girls imply that he obviously has a crush on Aster upon seeing him blush, which he hastily denies. Which is to be expected since they technically still kids.

Silk Hiding Steel: While she is cute and feminine, she can be mildly a Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak as well as Hidden Depths such as she definitely bites the Devil’s hand to escape his grip. She also took a Level in Hardcore while under the Dreamstones’ wings.

Single Woman Seek Good Man: Her obvious attraction to Kaichi since their friendship had bloomed even before her defection.

The Six Ranger: Basically the second Sprigon and fifth Animal Companion.

Sweet Tooth: A shared trait in the Sprigon lore. She could certainly give Kaichi a run for his money.

Tears of Remorse: She had shed these when she remorsefully confessed to the Dreamstones about her backstory and how the Devil captured Kaichi. She also explains the Devil had made her and threatened to unmake her if she doesn’t do what he says. Luckily, the girls were more sympathetic and understanding.

Tender Tears: She can be just as emotional when upset.

Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to Cyra’s Tomboy.

Tomboyish Ponytail: Subverted. She wears her mane in a low ponytail and she’s a Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak.

Took a Level in Hardcore:

Trademark Favourite Food:

Red velvet cookies.

She also enjoys strawberries.

Macarons, especially the pink ones.

True Blue Femininity: Her eyes, wing tips and accessories are blue and she is a Girly Girl.

Undying Loyalty: Despite her time as the Devil’s spy, Aster has grown to care deeply the Dreamstones and their friends, most especially Kaichi, which motivated her to have the courage to stand up to the Devil and join the heroes.
