--------------------------------------------------------------------------
PERSONALITY:
Lady deWinter was born the middle child of the large Dessel-deWinter family. She was a happy and protected child then a cheerful yet disciplined teenager who spent her teenage years and young adult life mimicking her main source of inspiration – her mother. Raised in a powerful family, though with little to none knowledge of the pasts of her two bloodline, she was given an untypical upbringing of a future Sith. However, it much had to do with blocked memories of her earliest child. At the age of three, the family had been attacked, and the eldest three had been harmed beyond repair. She was too young to remember at the time that she had been kidnapped and her captor had begun to brainwash her and when her parents had found her, she’d been mumbling I hate my mommy and daddy and I hate Morgie and Adam. Despite telekinesis being her first discovered power, Asteria grew with ice inside her blood, dictating the course of future unpredicted. As a young woman, her hatred was reserved solely for any siblings that were not pure of blood to her and the Mandalorians, as she had been raised by her Mother to despise the group. As a teenager, she fell in love to a man she hadn’t expected to meet. Angelo Cavataio wasn’t anything she’d imagined growing up yet her love for him was strong that it kept the ice at bay for longer than it should have been.
Descendant from the powerful ancient Family of Darkness of Endelaan, Asteria found her place among the warriors and sorceresses of the planet where she began to reside. Already lady and the owner of the Red Lady, with a political career behind her in her late twenties, she was beginning to grow into the woman she was meant to be with only love keeping away the true darkness and the ice of her heart. In her adulthood, she grew colder despite it though, judgemental and harsh to those beneath her. She will treat her subordinates well but she demands absolute loyalty and no less than that. In her early thirties, she had been put for a centuries’ long slumber, meant to preserve the bloodline in times of the Gulag Plague. A few of them had awakened from it once the darkness had deceased, thrusting Lady deWinter into a whole new age where she found home within the only group she saw promise in – the One Sith but they weren’t meant for long in this galaxy after all, despite their promise so Asteria ended redrawing into the shadows and building her business and growing her contacts quietly throughout the galaxy through the Red Lady until the gods had begun to rise.
or angry. Generally, if she's her normal-self, on any day, her hair will be done, even if somewhat decorated but it being pinned up, in a pony tail, something is wrong with her. Most people pick that up eventually about her.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
(+) Mind over Matter. Telekinesis was her first power, discovered at the age of ten. It is the most practiced and used, mastered beyond any other.
(+) Ageless. The age of the deWinter bloodline in unclear. While, her Dessel bloodline permits a century and some years to go on, there have been humans within her maternal family who have lived far longer. Asteria has only entered this phase herself.
(+) Mistress of Elements. While her first element is that of water and ice, Asteria has devoted her time to studying all the elements.
(+) Strong Telepathy. Though predominately human, Asteria pertains some traits of her other species, including a strong telepathy.
(+) Sorcery. Born in bloodlines of power, her strength relies within the Force rather than physical combat. She's trained in the latter but she will always choose her powers and spells over it.
(+) Languages: Ancient Sith (basics), Olys Corellsi (phrases), Binary (basics), Galactic Basic Standard, High Galactic, Kinetic Communication
(+) Other skills: archery, business, dancing (mostly ballet, ballroom dancing, modern), debate, etiquette, fencing, gymnastics (artistic, rhythmic, Low-g), Horse-back riding, Kickboxing (basics), Linguistics, Mechanics (basics), Piano lessons, Piloting (through Grant Knowledge from her father), Political sciences, Politics, Psychology of the Mind, Public Administration, Sociology, Violin lessons, Visual Arts
(+/-) Scarlett blood. Neither a strength nor weakness, Asteria's blood is lighter than the average humanoid's.
(-) Heart of ice. Asteria was born with a natural affinity towards the element of ice, it's potent enough that it interlopes with her entire being and can manifest through her emotions.
(-) Love. Asteria has been in love once, her love had built her a home on Endelaan. It had stalled the ice in her veins but at a much wiser and older state of mind, she knows all consuming love can be a weakness and thus lady deWinter now seeks for alliances rather than foolish sentiments.
(-) Lightsaber Combat. While Asteria has received training in two different forms, she is far more capable with her Powers than with lightsabers.
(-) Character Flaws: Arrogant, Bigot, Blunt, Callous, Cruel, Envious, Fierce, Finicky, Idealist, Judgmental, Murderer, Overambitious, Overprotective, Overconfident, Overzealous, Proud, Stubborn, Theatrical, Vain
(-) Phobias: Asthenophobia (fear of fainting), Atychiphobia (fear of failure), Dementophobia (fear of madness)

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:
At only five feet two inches and a slim built, lady deWinter makes up for her lack of height by numerous heels which aren't always visible due to her long gowns. Her hair is blond, a fact that had always set her apart from her siblings and her eyes at birth were turquoise, a combination of her Mother's green and father's blue, however, upon her growth of power, they came into the color known as deWinter green which is a strong emerald shade of green. Her fashion on the other hand is obviously taken from her mother. Asteria prefers expensive dresses and style, she won't often go for a combination that includes pants unless the whole attire can still demonstrate elegance altogether. Since her most basic residence is her Sith Infiltrator ship, she keeps most of her clothes there now so she'll often be dressed into something different.

BIOGRAPHY:
Act I: We are Family
Brainwashed three year old. When Asteria was barely even three, the deWinter/Starkiller mansion was attacked by Darth Gaius who wished to use the three children of Shery deWinter and Xander Starkiller against them. Morgaine was buried alive, Alistair was left unconscious and Asteria was taken aboard the man's ship where she was tortured, tazored and hurt until she started saying exactly what they wanted to hear - I hate my mommy and daddy and I hate Morgie and Alistair. The event was incredibly shocking to the girl, to the point where even after her parents saved her and the threat was dealt with, Asteria couldn't stop saying those words, taking hours of joined work from both her parents to calm her down, and days before she fully recovered from the event. Except, the true recovery was in suppressing the horrible night. Somehow, the three-year-old girl made herself forget that horrible event, replacing it with a normal and happy memory of the household.
Childhood on Spira. The blonde girl grew up on Spira in a safe environment and due to suppressing the memories of the one horrible night, she truly grew up believing such was life and her parents could always protect her, no matter what. She spent her days playing or studying what her parents did, later when she had learned to read, she spent a great deal of time reading various stories to late hours, sometimes from her mother's old books, sometimes from her datapad, quickly forming opinions on what she liked and what she could not stand when it came to book themes and characters.
Even though she had always known that her parents had other children before her, Asteria never took notice to such things, sometimes even forgetting that she had them unless her parents brought them up. On rare occasions, she would get jealous at them, particularly of her father's children before her pure siblings. She didn't like the fact that they were given attention which resulted in Morgaine, Alistair, her and Cordelia being left without him for that period. If given the chance, Asteria would have most likely felt the same about her mother if she behaved in such a manner or if her half-sister Brumhilda actually gave their mother the chance.
Animals and droids began to interest her quickly enough, somewhat taking her attention away from the dolls that used to claim her attention in the earlier years. She liked to watch as they moved, the way they sounded, the way they reacted to things. Sometimes, she'd spend hours in the kitchen, just watching their droids move around, do their business, other times she'd spend time in her room with a stray kitten she had brought home (though it was always one at a time), watching how it responded to the strange environment, how it would react to her own movements, sometimes good, sometimes somewhat bad simply to see the reaction in them. Eventually, she would grow bored with her pets and set them free, not taking much notice whether they would survive such a fate after being housebroken.
Manifestation of Telekinesis. Shortly after turning ten, Asteria's force sensitivity was discovered when she used telekinesis for the first time. The very first use of it was purely accidental, her mind connecting to the Force without her truly even realizing it as she wished for something that was near her but didn't want to put down her story to get it as the plot had become extremely interesting to the child.After it happened, she couldn't repeat the process for several days, ignoring her books and even studies for that time as she kept trying over and over, to prove to herself and to her family it had actually happened.Eventually, she managed it, moving a small rock on the beach. Once she had managed that, Asteria couldn't stop, she kept practicing over and over, the practice becoming somewhat of an addiction to the girl.
With the arrival of her first ability, the almost teenager felt herself growing with hunger to learn more and be able to accomplish more. Any chance she was given to see her parents use the powers, Asteria watched intensely and with pure curiosity, trying to figure out how they had done such a thing. Her own training hadn't actually started before some time after that but everything Asteria was given, she wanted more and at the same time, she constantly kept working on her telekinesis skill to further it as much as she possibly could.
Adventure on Hoth. Not long after her parents married, her mother was called to Hoth , enabling them to have their usual training session. Expect, instead of leaving her, Mom invited Asteria to come a long, making most of their two day travel to the ice planet a long session in training, as well as the girl's first lesson in Dreamwalking. During the trip, Asteria revealed to her mother how she saw that horrible night all those years ago as, despite knowing what actually had happened after which Mom showed Asteria exactly what happened to her, shaking the teenager to the core like never before in her life, at least not since that night. Having seen that she had somewhat fabricated a lie that unabled her from seeing that no matter what, her parents could not always protect her which only pushed Asteria to further want to train, making a deal with her mother never to refuse a lesson unless given just cause but unless that was the case, to always follow her instruction during training. On Hoth, however, the two deWinter females discovered a mystery waiting. First, the castle is hidden in ice, then the woman that invited Shery to Hoth was dead and cut into the pieces and finally, the castle was attacked by terrible creatures that end up kidnapping Asteria.
The intent of the kidnappers, the real-life Snowhite and her prince was to use Asteria in a ritual so they could have their own child. But things certainly didn't go as planned. While the Prince had to deal with her mother, Asteria noticed the girl's curiosity about Force Powers and the two began to show off each other's skills to one another before Asteria finally attacked the girl and they began their magical duel. In the end, Asteria won and Snowhite was frozen in the snow.
Pet Market Day. Having had their father lift an older ban on having pets and a Pet Market coming to Spira , Nessarose and Asteria set out to have their very own zoo and brought home a great deal of pets home.
Sith Knight Lady Asteria deWinter. In the morning of her eighteenth birthday, long before the festivities began, Asteria was given three gifts by her mother. First was a voice card for Simon, followed by the papers that make her a Lady and last but certainly not least was her ascension to knighthood. It was just about the most glorious day in the young woman's life and at that point, she didn't think she could ever want for more.

Act II: Ch-Ch-Changes
Angelo Cavataio. Being convinced by her friends to go out on Coruscant and enjoy an evening in a club wasn't exactly what Asteria had in mind when she thought of the night but it was most likely a good thing that they managed to drag her out of the penthouse because it was on that very night that Asteria met Angelo, a young man from Ferro. Even though she didn't know who the man really was at the time, her evening turned out for the better from that point on even though she didn't fully understand what exactly she was beginning to feel.
Several weeks after turning eighteen and meeting Angelo Cavataio, Asteria's mind and heart were filled with a desire to continue training so one morning while most of her family was still sound asleep, Asteria found her mother in the library and asked her to teach her more powers. Her request was granted at that very moment and the two began at the beach behind the mansion when Asteria learned to levitate herself, enhance her force sense, learned how to use Farsight, felt the effects of Torture by Chagrin and tapped into the element of Earth.
Power for Power's Sake. A month after training with her mother, Asteria takes a short break from practicing her new powers to finish a book she began reading some time ago and when she does, she seeks her droid and can't find him anywhere around the house or outside it until she remembered she hadn't looked in the basement. Not believing Simon would even want to be anywhere near that place considering it's her father's laboratory. Inside the lab, she finds her father working on a Human Republic Droid and learns it has the appearance of her grandmother Sophie and after her father lets out a bit of his history with his own parents, Asteria isn't able to let it go until she hears the story through which she learns that her grandmother didn't fight her father when he found them, stabbing her grandfather when he nearly overcome her father and, killed by Jax Starkiller with her final words to her Father that made a great deal of sense to the girl.
Through the story, Asteria accepted that Sophie Halcyon-Starkiller might have not been so bad, giving her a chance, though it didn't fully mean that she'd accepted her as a role model as she sees both her parents. Through the day, Asteria learned Force Empathy, Force Comprehension, Psychometry / Telemetry, Shatterpoint, Basic Technopathy and the Element of Fire.
No longer a Rogue. After spending most of her life as a Rogue Sith, Asteria suddenly found herself being part of the The Sith Imperium as her parents re-joined its ranks, after her father was re-commissioned as a Grand General. Her mother took an active role within as well, making the choice for the young woman quite clear at that point. Still, that decision did not alter things that much. Her loyalty still remains first to her famaily and her training continues. Time progressing on, her father initiated the campaign that would bring more planets to the Empire, only to become the Dark Lord and her mother the Dark Lady of the Sith Imperium.
First Apprentice. At the age of twenty four, Asteria obtained herself her very first apprentice which was her sister Nessarose . While the youngest deWinter had already began training with their parents and Alistair, the blonde felt it would only be fair if she too passed some of the knowledge she had been given on to the youngest of them. It didn't go quite right, in fact it went terrible, especially when using advanced telekinesis, Nessa managed to destroy her entire bedroom. But thankfully, Asteria managed to teach the girl skills she could later on use after all.
Procopia. At an odd request from the King of Procopia, William Carter, Asteria traveled to Spira for two days, curious to learn why it was she was even invited in the first place. While she knew of the Carter family thanks to her Godfather Cameron Centurion, Asteria herself had never actually met any of the family so she took the visit as a chance to learn as much as possible. At this time, her father was no longer the Grand General of the Empire but instead the Dark Lord and her mother the Dark Lady.
Mistress of Elements. Years after Asteria learned the element of Water and Ice on her own, on the adventure on Hoth, and shortly after embracing the element of Earth through her mother's teachings, Asteria was visited by her Godfather whom she asked for a single thing - to teach her the element of Air and Wind. But instead of just getting a lesson in how to do it, Cameron also kept testing and pushing her more than she had ever been pushed before, allowing the young woman to further her usage of her elements. The training given to her by Cameron had probably been the worst since she began so long ago. Her Godfather nearly brought her to the point of death while teaching her by creating a bubble in her lungs, preventing her from breathing and causing her pain. But when the day ended, her three elements (Air/Wind, Earth, Water/Ice) were all at an advanced level.
Half-brother in the Mansion. On what seemed like a completely ordinary day, Asteria came face to face with her half brother Coren when he came to visit Nessarose. It had never been a secret how the blonde felt about her half-siblings and it would certainly be shown that day and the young woman made sure that the man knew perfectly how little he was wanted there as far as Asteria was concerned. But the decision wouldn't really be up to her because the same man moved in shortly after and brought his own brat, his daughter Eri'Anya whose last name soon became Starkiller when it wasn't so from the beginning, much to Asteria's displeasure.
Battle of Eriadu. Much with the changes going on in the family and with members of it, Asteria always faithfully followed her mother on journeys when she was requested. As the Dark Lady traveled to Eriadu as the Sith Imperium, led by her Godfather took over the planet, Asteria tagged along and nearly was given the chance to deal with a Jedi but was pulled back from the duel before it truly even began. While the blonde might have wanted such a thing to happen, she was more loyal to her mother to disobey when she was ordered to pull back. Before the day was over, Asteria was sent to search for her sister Nessarose but ended up not needing to find her when the girl was found by their own people.
Jedi Stench fills the Sanctity of Home. Like it wasn't enough that Coren and his child moved into the mansion, Asteria simply hadn't had her share of annoyances for the century. Invited by Nessarose, into the house of the deWinter-Starkiller family, three Jedi arrived one day - Brumhilda deWinter, Jason Starkiller and Mark Starkiller. While all were in fact family, none of them were on the list of Asteria's family and for each moment of it, she made it perfectly clear, even so far as to suggest they were nothing but animals belonging in the Zoo.
Several weeks after turning eighteen and meeting Angelo Cavataio, Asteria's mind and heart were filled with a desire to continue training so one morning while most of her family was still sound asleep, Asteria found her mother in the library and asked her to teach her more powers.

While all were in fact family, none of them were on the list of Asteria's family and for each moment of it, she made it perfectly clear, even so far as to suggest they were nothing but animals belonging in the Zoo.
Act III: Chant down Babylon
Governess of Sector 2. Upon the death of her Godfather and the betrayal of his man (which included his former brother-in-law William Carter), her parents bestowed upon her the trust of naming her the Governess of Sector 2 (that used to belong to her Godfather) which put Asteria in charge of Bescane, Borosk, Dantooine, Dubrillion, Entralla, Jaemus, Muunilinst, Mygeeto, Ord Trasi and Yaga Minor and put her on the Imperial Ruling Council along with her brother Alistair, Sara Arkelion and Xaedrin Vondiranach.
Was it Really Worth it?. During a visit to Muunilinst due to her new appointed position, Asteria received a call from her brother who informed of her of the events that took place on Coruscant between Nessarose, Diomedes Antares, their father, mother and Alistair. Hearing about it, as well as the result of it to both her sister and father, Asteria was filled with worry and departed for Thule first when she waited for Nessa to arrive. She met Diomedes that day same day and while the two didn't exactly become the best of friends, the meeting didn't end with either of them wanting to kill the other. As soon as the meet between two sisters ended, she traveled to Spira to see how her father was doing.Spending time with her father, Asteria made sure he was getting better, learning a bit about how he sees himself and realized she had been right about certain things that she told Nessa while on Thule. Dad wanted to reward her for being so good but instead of actually asking for anything, she merely asked him to get some rest and get better so he could recover into the man she and the rest of the galaxy saw him it. That was all the woman needed at that point.
Red Sand. On her way to Coruscant, Asteria feels a nudge directing her further into the galaxy, and eventually leading her to Tatooine where she meets Sara Arkelion. Through out the training session, Sara extends her Enhanced and Mastered Telekinesis for which in return, she teaches her cousin Enhanced Force Sense, Alter Elements Air and Fire, as well as Alter Environment of the two.
Family of Darkness. While spending time on Muunlinst, Asteria receieved a visitor she did not expect, only to learn in talking to him that they were related. But it wasn't just that. This man, calling himself Ashmedai, told her about her maternal family, about her mother's grandmother, about how she was related to Cameron. While much of what she was told was plausible and there were several reasons for her to believe what Ashmedai revealed to her, since he was still nothing more than a stranger in her her eyes, Asteria would find out whether it was all the truth, from someone she trusted - her mother. Though that wasn't all. She learned that her sister knew about this heritage for as long as her Godfather did and that upset the blonde, deciding that after she saw her mother and confirmed the new found knowledge, she would speak to Nessarose as well. During his visit to Muunlinst, Ashmedai sought out to destroy the High Port.
While the subject was originally pushed aside thanks to the conversation of Asteria's roots, when returned to it, Asteria tried to convince him not to do it but when it failed, followed by a long lecture from the man about insects, lessons and gods, she departed from the High Port and safely in the orbit of the planet, recorded a message for the people: “Citizens of Muunlinst, you have little time to hear this so I shall be brief. The greed that stands high above your cities is about to come to a fall. Remember, High Port is a mere structure, a symbol with the wrong message so do not mourn it as you would a life” which was then had it broadcast across the cities of Muunlinst minutes before the event would actually take place.
The Moment of Truth. Asteria travels to Coruscant to speak to her mother about what Ashmedai revealed to her, to confirm whether it's true or not. Her new found knowledge is quickly confirmed by her mother, without even getting into what it is or who spoke it to her, Mom speaking Ashmedai's name first. But as the conversation continued, Asteria observed her mother's odd behavior and mentally, unintentionally, began to compile a list of things that she didn't understand such as her mother's altered posture, manic laughter that would end quickly, her concentration on something that took place years ago, her definition of time with the terms wibbly wobbly and the brash change of events. The rest of the conversation between the two was of the changes that would take place in the galaxy soon, with her mother's insistence on Asteria's plans for the future.
You kept Secrets from me, Little Sister. After discovering that what she learned on Muunlinst is indeed true, Asteria contacted Nessarose and traveled to Naboo where the two sisters spent the day together. First, they got the Ashmedai secret ouf of the way after which topics such as Asteria's feelings for outsiders, possibility of Nessa's wedding to Diomedes, mention of Darth Cerrabus and Nessa's apprentice. Once they were finished, Asteria and Nessarose spent the day together in various activities they both enjoyed.
Save me from the Dark. Three months after visiting her mother on Coruscant, Asteria is called back to the same planet by Nessarose where she meets her and Alistair and the three discuss their mother's health. Having recently seen her, Asteria had her own experience with the changes occuring to Shery deWinter though it was only when Nessarose called the sickness for what it was - dementia, that Asteria learned the name. In the brief conversation, Alistair supported their father's decision to clone their mother, Nessarose insisted on their mother's wishes and Asteria simply wanted her mother to get fixed and remain with them.
The Breakdown: A Day of Reckoning. Asteria is given a task by her father which entailed first of gathering all the finances of her section before departing it one last time to meet the Dark Lord and Alistair. Unfortunately, on her way to the core, she was struck by immense pain generated by her father's death. Managing to gather enough strength, she traveled on, visiting the Imperial Intelligence first and having a brief conversation with him of the future before finding Nessarose in the penthouse and ensuring her safety. Following both visits, Asteria traveled to Spira, to check up on Morgaine and Cordelia.
Alternative Universe. In an alternative world where following the events of The Breakdown where the Sith Imperium fell and Nessarose's Arduer completely took over, causing her to kill a great deal of family members, Asteria's pain was too mcuh for her, causing her to lose her mind. It reached the point where it went black, making her forget who she was.
Blank minded as she became, Angelo took it upon himself to look after her. To make sure nothing would trigger her memories, he refers to her as Arianna and she calls him Archangelo. Due to his connections, he even managed to make false documents so nobody would refer to her by her actual name. There are times when she remembers who she is, only to be given a small amount of time, five to ten minutes, where she is once again Asteria before feeling the pain she left behind all over again, causing her to shut down for her own mental protection.
The Red Lady. After having not seen her Godfather in so long, Asteria receives a visit in the Red Lady. It was the first time she saw him after his return, engaging in a quick conversation which included her future and Angelo before he once again would leave her. While she knew at this point they were related, it didn't matter much. The title that Cameron Centurion holds for Asteria takes far greater place to her heart. Before departing, he mentioned the desire to meet her chosen one in time.
Having been left the Red Lady in her care after her mother's disappearance, Asteria works out to on "starting it over". During one work day, she met Demetrius deWinter who wandered in out of curiosity. Having not known right away who the young man was, setting him up with her assistant Jessa. The encounter lasted briefly though for reasons she did not learn but she did find out he was one of Jonathan's children. The conversation between the two turned sour then and soon ended.
During an ordinary day at work, Amelia Chase arrives to the establishment to discuss a business idea.

Act IV: It's Too Late and it's Too Bad
Battle with Boadicea. Asteria goes home for the weekend and discovers her mother there, finding out about a secret room there that gets set on fire. The mother and daughter managed to have but a brief encounter before she learned that there was a spirit living inside the Lady deWinter, one that identified herself as Boadicea. The more the two talked, the worse it actually got, Boadicea insulting her breed and Asteria ignoring the woman she did not acknowledge as family before she was finally attacked by the older woman infesting her mother. Asteria managed to hold her own for a while, using her offense powers as defense before being distracted by the presence of Simon on the floor.
The young deWinter ended up with burn injuries on her arm and abdomen which required bacta packs in the days to come.

A thousand year sleep. Life was good. Asteria was rebuilding the Red Lady after her Godfather had brought Coruscant to its knees and infested with monsters. Her relationship with Angelo had been on track. And then, in a moment, everything changed. Asteria was kidnapped and subdued, drugged she managed to acknowledge the presence of a female with growing emerald green eyes - the only distinguishing mark of a distant relative. The figure spoke to her of dark ages to come and her inability to survive them. Because of this, she had taken her and would put her to a long slumber so she could awaken after all it had passed. While Asteria tried to protest and set free, she could not and at the simple use of the woman's powers, she was put to sleep.
Lost in Paradise. In her long slumber, Asteria's mind drifted into a long dream. The perfect world where all was just as she had always wanted. Her parents, his sisters and brothers and her Angelo. In this perfect world, Asteria was happy and complete. Her fears dissolved and her heart was at peace. There was no darkness or light, there was only love. In her own paradise, Asteria had a happy ending she had never imagined. With Angelo, she was complete and at peace. It had made her long slumber seems as though it had passed in a blink of an eye.
