I'm new to the party, tell us about Astrid

HI YES!!! HI!!!

so astrid is my commander (or one of them) and shes a norn engineer!

she's my youngest commander (excluding my sylvari comm who, you know, is 0) and she was about 15 when the personal story started, soon being the youngest member of the vigil to ever become warmaster. shes young and impulsive and maybe that shows in her early leadership, wanting much and not knowing anything. shes good at fighting and killing and winning, but she's also a child that never learned how to grief, thrown into a position of leadership. she forces herself into the role of the commander and adapts- pretends to adapt quickly.

but time goes on and the world gets closer to its end, you know it, the typical commander happenings. she loses more and more people that are dear to her as time goes on. both of her fathers died when she was really young, then it was the enxt father figure that died, forgal, then eir, who has pretty much raised her after the rest of her family died.

she finds comfort in dragons watch, especially taimi and braham, who are around the same age as her and, just like her, never really got to be children, instead being pushed into adventure and saving the world and losing everyone they loved.

shes tall :3 really big and huge :3 max height norn at the start of sthe story, and she keeps on growing. because of magic, mostly. shes big. by the time she hits soto she's honestly not much shorter than peitha

braham seeing astrid for the first time after PoF and he's still hurt and annoyed by her but also his heart begins to ache so terribly because she changed. her clothing and weapons and fighting style and her eyes changed. and her hair which she's always loved is cut short. and she's covered in burn scars.

and even though braham still wants to be angry and still wants to just Not Care about her, he cant help but think what happened to her when i wasnt there for her

he will try to guess what happened. based on the little information the others will give him. but they will never actually tell him, and he wont ask astrid. even a year or two later he still doesnt know. kas still tears up when he asks. rytlock sighs and shakes his head and says that it doesnt matter. taimi tells him to just ask for himself. but he never will. he just thinks up his own stories.

he'll never guess that she died though. maybe one day he will figure it out. years later when wounds have healed. when their friendship is as deep as it can be. maybe then he figures it out because astrid is willing to talk about it. maybe she mentions it on the side. like it isnt important anymore. its been years, and she is alive right now, so why does it matter. but it matters to braham, like really really matters to him.

his best friend died and he never knew
