The Darrow Traits
Personable -
At a very young age, Astrid learned how to sink into the background and go unnoticed. It was that chameleon aspect that honed her ability to read the people and situations around her. She can walk into a room and know exactly who would need their ego stroked in order to maintain the flow of the event, who would need to be coaxed out of their shell, and who would need to be distracted from the bar. More than just those skills, Astrid can relate to people and uses her genuine connections to put the people around her at ease.
Sarcastic -
Astrid's mind works quickly, and growing up with brothers made it necessary for her to be able to stand on her own. Neither of them, or later Valerik, were cruel. Her brother's never went out of their way to poke fun at her but teasing was a normal part of life in the Darrow household. Being able to physically overpower anyone was not really an option so she made sure that she was able talk her way through any situation. While she does use sarcasm in humor, when frustration and irritation overwhelm her she can just as easily wield it like a weapon.
