- Astra (Round Start)

Astra is an energetic and joyful agent who doesn't hold back what she wants to say. She is fairly straightforward when it comes to expressing herself and friendly banter is definitely her go-to style. She seems to have an affinity for liveliness, and doesn't like it when people and places have no 'color' or 'personality' to them.

She has stated that her plans and ideas may sometimes sound irrational, but this is only because she can see what most cannot due to her cosmic powers.

Appearance
Astra is from Ghanaian descent and has a dark skin tone. Her hair, which sports a braided mohawk style, is adorned with multiple gold beads that match with more golden jewelry as a nose ring, multiple earrings on her left ear, and a pair of big hoops. Astra's outfit comprises of bright blues, purples and gold incorporating native designs from her culture. She has a purple hoodie, and she pulls up the hood when she is in her Astral Form. She wears a blue shirt alongside a brown sleeveless vest, donning a mechanical golden arm on the left side of her person, while her right arm is exposed with a gold bracelet on her wrist and her hand being covered by a fingerless purple glove. She wears a pair of purple jeans with metallic kneecaps, with shoes of the same color.
