Personality: Astaro hangs on like a leech to those who appreciate her. It was this clingy personality that held back her painting career. She is a very good compulsive liar and kleptomaniac.

History: Astaro was born into a poor family. Growing up, she dreamt of becoming a Cleric, to bring honor to her family’s name. When she came of age, she applied for a position with her town's local guard, looking to work her way up via merit and eventually become a Cleric in service of a powerful lord somewhere. Her parents died when she was young, and she was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Astaro grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Astaro. She used her abilities to trick people and travel the world for free.
