It was the cloak that was left abandoned with her at birth.   Underneath that is often a light blue tunic adorned with simple embroidery, one of her sleeves always rolled up whilst the other is not. This is paired with dark brown pants that accentuate her legs which are tucked into short brown heeled boots below the knee. There is a dagger tucked on a strap on her leg, ready to be used at any time.   Their flute pokes out the edge of her rucksack, slung from her neck, resting on her left side.   Her left ear has an intricate silver jeweled earring whilst the right does not. On her right hand, she wears two simple banded rings, gold on her index and silver on the ring finger. They also have a circle stone pendant bracelet charmed by their mentor on their right wrist. On that wrist lies another bracelet and a hair tie.

Personal history

Aster was born with stunning platinum blonde hair. This deemed her cursed and unholy by the sun clerics, and thus, she was abandoned at birth in the woods and left to die. Instead, Aster was found by a moon elf adventurer, Siora Locklear, who took her in and taught her the ways of life and music. She raised her as her own child, giving her her last name na d teaching her the way of the bardic arts. As she grew up, she became more attuned to the wanderlust filled life of a bard. She now searches for her meaning in her melancholic life through her captivating tunes and travels.   As her proficiency grew she was recommended for a mission in the Arcane Order, to retrieve the sunstone. Stoic and cold towards her teammates, this was Aster's first time having to work as part of a unit. She developed a reputation amongst the group for being untrusting and difficult. However as the journey progressed, she slowly began to open up to her friends, eventually becoming the catalyst to save them from the indescribable power of the sun stone.    Her close proximity to a celestial object is was induced a vision, telling her of the need to collect the sun and moon artifacts. She was sworn to secrecy, and to protect those she cared about she left without a trace and hasn't been heard from since.
