Personality:
Astrid is long known for being the epitome of childlike innocence and naiveté. The sixteen year old has always had a sunny disposition and an inherent sweetness. This also means that Astrid is prone to being taken advantage of and being teased although being mean to Astrid doesn’t result in her thinking any less of you. She hurts for a moment then her inherent good nature takes over and she moves on.

The teen doesn’t often contemplate the consequences of her actions and will often be seen as reckless or ignorant. It’s not that she doesn’t care it’s that she’s just not able to make that connection of cause and effect as readily as most of her peers. Though she may cause strife or make others feel uncomfortable with her often extreme behavior Astrid never feels much culpability or guilt unless it’s explained to her.

Typical Attire:
Astrid has never been allowed to pick out her own clothes due to her outrageous view on what’s appropriate. She was usually kept in pretty white dresses that emphasized her childishness and would be severely punished if caught dirtying up her nice clothes. Now that she’s been away at school her taste is finally making an appearance. Astrid still prefers lighter color and tends to gravitate toward garments that are soft and floaty. She rarely wears trousers and never jeans finding them to be a bit restrictive.

Keepsakes: A ratty old stuffed bear that she's had since she was two. His name is Lucky and Astrid would be bereft without him.

History:
Astrid’s entrance into the world was well timed and much planned out just as her older brother’s had been. With her arrival she made her family complete and for a few years after that quite happy at least from her perspective. Of course Astrid had always been off in her own world, full of imagination and pretend. She adored her brother Alasdair and would follow him around and occasionally play with other children but she always made her way back to her imaginary friends. Something which began to concern her parents as she got older.

They’d always assumed she’d outgrow her childishness but it seemed as she grew older it only became more pronounced and she only became more peculiar. It was shaming for Regina and Gregory Crane, her parents, who had only envisioned a perfect life for their perfect family. Now they were being told that might never happen by doctors who charged them exorbitantly.

To Astrid life seemed just fine to her and besides the fact that she never got to wear what she wanted to and never go to touch her massive doll collection she was quite happy. Of course in the meantime the rest of the family was falling apart. Her father sank into a deep depression which he would never come out of, her mother took to drinking and completely zoned out while her older brother closed himself off from the rest of the world.

It was when she was nearly twelve that things changed in her life forever. After coming home from a trip that she took with her mother and brother, Astrid’s father committed suicide in front of Alasdair. Astrid was frightened and confused and there was no one left to comfort her or ease her though what was happening. Regina had checked out emotionally and Alasdair’s psyche had been scarred forever. Bereft, Astrid slipped further into her childlike delusions.

It was soon after the funeral that the siblings were sent to the academy where Astrid has been quite happy. She does her best not to dwell or think about what happened not only for her sake but for her traumatized brother’s sake as well.


Other: Astrid's brother, Alisdair is quite protective of her. If you mess with Astrid you mess with him and he's not nearly as kind or forgiving as Astrid is.
