VISUAL INFORMATION:
The birth of Astelia was a...peculiarity, to say the least. Her mother, Shireina, a valuable Saivalthar diplomat, was captured by the Oscithar, and was applied the Sols'tirc Solstice Curse by a Solsithar who took pity on her. The two of them slowly grew closer and closer, until eventually, a beautiful child was born from their union.
But the forces of the Dread Empire, fearing that Astelia's mother could reveal any sensitive information, and aided by her parents, two rich merchants, send out a squadron to infiltrate the Oschitar Kaahl where the diplomat resided, and retrive her. And so, by the rising of the sun, the Solsithar woke up in an empty bed, his partner and daughter gone.
Back on Paärthalaär, as her curse was lifted, Shireina nearly killed her newborn daughter out of disgust, seeing her as nothing but a mistake that should be erased. But perhaps some sort of semblance of true love remained for the child, or perhaps the curse wasn't fully purged. Whatever the case may be, Shireina decided to take care of the child, and to raise her.
As Astelia grew up, she was a child of silence, always observing the people that surrounded her, but never stating her mind, her eyes always showing some sort of desdain and melancholy. From very little, the girl developed a terrifying ability to mask her emotions, with others never being able to understand what crossed her mind.
Shireina mostly homeschooled the girl, afraid of what others would say if it was a widespread fact that the girl was born out of a Solsithar, teaching the girl about management and geopolitics, as well as instructing the girl in the languages of Atlatar, both Modern and Middle.
But on her fifteen birthday, Astelia revaled to her mother the reason she was always focused on small talk, she could understand the emotions of others, and even comprehend what they hid. And she knew, despite any affection Shireina showed her, that her mother hated her, with every fiber of her body. Shireina had Astelia be beaten down, and informed her that the Half-Mixture would no longer be welcomed into her house.
Astelia then traveled to the house of her grandparents, who despite disliking her origin, actually saw an oportunity in her abilities. They enrolled to a local sorcery school, where Astelia shocked everyone with her ability to comprehend the rest. Being able to understand the true emotions of others, it meant that she could manipulate others, using and discarding them as if her classmates were mere puppets. Her ambition led her forth, and she quickly got enrolled to a Sorcery School of a higher status, further located towards the center of Paärthalaär, where even members of Zolathar and Saivalthar nobility attended.
Astelia was humiliated by her classmates and teachers many, many years, due to her coming from a lower status, and the matter of her being a half mix. But at night, she would sneak from her bedroom into the forbidden areas of the schhol, only reserved by instructors. There, she learned about Artifacts, and other magical creations.
One day, a stranger arrived at the academy, who Astelia learned from the excited whispers of her companions to be a powerful regional Zikiel Vampire. Many trials and combats were celebrated in honor of such individual, who was searching for a worthy individual to call his apprentice.
Astelia's was brutal. She had always held back, against her oponents, but her words were venom, and her magic ruthless. She insulted her adversaries, being able to sense their insecurity of being in front of the Zikiel, yet she didn't mind. She exploited their weaknesses, sliced with her dagger, striked from the shadows and diseapering in them as well.
But once the final Henate duel was about to begin, the Zikiel rose, and indicated Astelia to speak with him in private. During their conversation, she understood what was the matter with the Zikiel, it simply saw the Kathar as a tool. And she remarked on the fact. The moment she saw the inner, unrecognizable emotion of surprise, Astelia knew she had won him. That same night, she did the Void Zikiel Ritual, and left Paärthalaär. Before leaving, though, Astelia made sure to spend one last night in the forbidden section of the Academy, and absorbed every single piece of knowledge on those books, which caused her to learn the Allorn languages of old. And so, they both parted for Teled Methen.
What happened during the next 45 years is unknown, except for her Master and Astelia herself. She dabled in the dark arts, learning everything about other Vampires and their bloodlines, using her shift state, high stealth and ability to lie to infiltrate facilities of knowledge to absorb it's knowledge. And unknown to the Apprentice, she made sure to make him speak as much as he could about his knowledge, using Quarrelsome Quill in secret to write down everything he could say.
Eventually, Astelia felt like her master could not teach her anything more, so during his sleep, she slit his throat, and slowly killed the Shadowbroods that favoured the Zikiel over her, seeing them as nothing but inferior bugs that should be purged to honor Anu. Those that didn't oppose her, she allowed them to leave, and to spread chaos all over Aloria. After that, she absorbed every piece of written knowledge her master had kept from her, gaining an incredible understanding of the Arken. Before leaving, she thanked to Anu, the Trickster Lord, and Ythennos, as she felt empowered by them, having fullfilled their goals. But Astelia knew that this wasn't enough. And so, Astelia left towards the capital, in her eternal puruit for knowledge and power.

When Astelia enters her Lich Form, her flesh slowly crumbles into dust and rotten paper. On her skull, a third eye emerges, centered in her forhead. The eye is red, with several indescriptable writings surrounding it, symbolising Anu. Her skull darkens and shapes into one of a cat, to symbolise the Trickster Lord, and lastly several tendrils of void emerge from the skull, resembling fluctuating hair, to honor Ythennos. The rest of the body remains as the one of a normal skeleton, while leaving behind a trail of Void Energy wisps that die in a matter of seconds.
Sveral whispers, akin to the whispers caused by the Aesthetic Ritualist Ghostmutter can also be heard. While they still remain aesthtic, the mutters of the dead reveal different types of emotions, fear, happiness, anger, sadness,... Some whisps resembling shapeless faces may also emerge from Astelia, while the air around her may cool down, though not to un uncomfortable degree. Her height also reachs 6'10, but this gives Astelia no aditional advantages, with her clothes only adapting to the change in height.
