Small headcanon / Astra canon: I like to think she acts as the Saint of Nymeia for the kids of the Sui-no-Sato

Day 7: Blade

"Through this blade, passed down from my mother. I'll use it to protect those I care for."

Astra's mother (Aki) passed her blade down to Astra post-endwalker. The journey she went on more than enough proven that she was ready to wield it.

Figure I'd try again and give this another shot! I'd imagine people would want to know more about her!

(Repost cause I forgot to include a pic of her. Whoops)

#AuRaApril Day 12 - Melody

"Nothing like a good melody to get your foot tapping."

Nothing much to say here. Astra likes music and would take the time to sit and listen!

#AuRaApril Day 1: Introduction

"You wish to know who I am? Well, for starters I'm Astra! Astra Kawanami!"

An adventurer to most, the Warrior of Light close to her, and the Ruby Sea Maiden back home.

Left to explore the surface and since then learned more about herself.

#AuRaApril Day 29 - Element

"Just like water. I can be gentle or just as rough."

Even though White Mage is all elements, the Sui-No-Sato is different in being that it's all water-based in both healing and attacking

#AuRaApril Day 27 - Gemstones

"Sapphire is a beautiful gem..."

Nothing more to say other than out of all the kinds of gemstones, I think Astra would like Sapphire the most cause it reminds her of herself.

#AuRaApril Day 4 - Family

"Hm? Is having two mothers a surprise?"

Koharu (Left) and Mayumi (Right), Astra's biological mothers. Koharu is one of the Shisui Palace's best healers while Mayumi used to be one the palace's captains. Astra loves them both dearly.

#AuRaApril Day 9 - Spring

"I can never get tired of this feeling..."

While not her favorite, Astra loves spring! Her favorite thing to do is to go somewhere secluded and just either lie down or swing to her hearts content.

#AuRaApril Day 10 - Vacation (Free Day)

"After a long journey, I needed this..."

Astra, at this point of her journey, was long overdue for a vacation and the end of main DT, she takes like...at least a week or two to relax.

#AuRaApril Day 7 - Friendship

"Come on! There's a shop I want to show you!"

Kurenai and Hisui are Astra's best friends since childhood. Although bound by their duties as adults, they still take the time to hang out together like old times when the opportunity is available.

#AuRaApril Day 25 - Celestial

"*I'd like to name her...Astra.*

"*Astra... It has a nice ring to it. What made you choose the name?*"

"*Because in a sea of stars, there will always be one that shine the brightest. Our little Astra.*"

#AuRaApril Day 8 - Memory

"This bridge holds...two crucial memories of my life."

Astra remembers crossing this bridge, specifically during two points of her life. The day she ran from home to Eorzea (Right), and the day she came back in Stormblood (Left).

#AuRaApril Day 2 - Scales

"My...scales? I haven't thought about them..."

Astra doesn't have any real opinion on her scales. Unintentionally, because of her wardrobe, she tends to hide them a lot, only letting them out when at the beach.

#AuRaApril Day 26 - Legacy

"With this cane and katana, both from my two mothers' families line, I'll carry on both their legacy"

"And this crystal. It belonged to me once... or what I was before. Even if we haven't met, I'll carry her legacy alongside. For the world we love"

#AuRaApril Day 23 - Tail

"Its nice to look at... Just don't grab it!"

Astra hates having her tail grabbed cause it ends up paralyzing her...which was what a lot of the kids in the Sui-No-Sato do. In battle, she does her best to make sure her tail is out of reach.

#AuRaApril Day 17 - Sky

"The sky at night...its a sight I never get tired of."

Astra loves the night sky so much. Seeing all the stars glowing and the moon shine feels nice. Just... don't make her go into the air or she'll never let go of you. (She hates being airborne)

#AuRaApril Day 28 - City

"Kugane... a sight that never gets old."

When she left for Eorzea, Astra stopped by Kugane since that's where the boat dock at. Though she was in a hurry at the time, she was enamored by its sights.

#AuRaApril Day 15 - Royal

"I'm not of royalty but I am of high status around here!"

Astra's a descendant of Umi Kawanami, the Ruby Sea Maiden told from legends. Her family has close ties with the Shisui family and is treated with the same amount of respect.

#AuRaApril Day 6 - Sorrow

"Is this truly still me...or am I still there?"

In From The Cold messed Astra up badly. For a while, she had nightmares running through the streets of Garlemald or being too late to stop Zenos. She couldn't even look at a mirror without seeing him

#AuRaApril Day 24 - Deity

"Oh Sea Maiden...give me strength..."

When she was young, she would praise to the Sea Maiden to give her some strength for that day.

Knowing who she is as well as being next in line, she still pray to her out of habit.

#AuRaApril Day 16 - Magic

"I still have a long way to go but my healing magic is nothing to scoff at!"

Astra's a white mage and a really strong one at that. Due to being a descendant of Sea Maiden, her magic was already strong enough at a young age.

#AuRaApril Day 20 - Free Day

"Nothing beats being at home eating Mom's cooking..."

Astra often goes back home once she returns in Stormblood. Part of it is out of habit while the other is that she truly missed home. Her room remains the same, much to her delight.

#AuRaApril Day 5 - Home

"No matter how far I go, the sea is where I truly belong."

Astra's home is the Sui-No-Sato and with that, The Ruby Sea. She knows the place like the back of her hand and would aimlessly swim without a care in the world and a smile on her face.
