Bio:
Born to the greek goddess, Athena, and a Greek general Julius Kleinias, Astrid was brought up aware that she was different than the other children her age. Whispers always seemed to greet her when she turned around and she did not understand why her "mother's" eyes would flare with such hatred every time she looked upon her. Her fathers wife doted on the other children but every time she looked upon Astrids face, her eyes would grow cold and remote.
It wasn't until the age of six that the young girl finally understood why. While trying to hide away in her normal manner, Astrid found herself confronted by her older brother and sister. Their identical sneers made her proudly raise her chin even as they hurdled insults at her. It was then that she discovered she was not their mothers child and that she was a "bastard". When she would not cower before them, the pair yanked her from the house and shoved her into a well.
It was only by luck that a kindly soldier happened to over see the actions of the children and rescue her from a watery death.
Within moments of seeing the beautiful child, the soldier knew who she belonged to and secreted her away from the villiage in an effort to keep her survival a secret. Since her father was away waging war on the borders of their lands, he took her with him to a neighboring city where he and his childless wife looked after her. Soon, the child became beloved to them both and any attempt to return her to her true family was forgotten.
As the years past, her "adopted" father doted on her and taught her how to fight as if she were a boy. A devoted student, the girl excelled far beyond most young boys her age and she often times went about in disguise when she heard of soldiers training in the area just to learn even more so that she could surprise her father in their sparring. Her "mother" chuckled and laughed at the pair of them but as their only child, Astrid was pampered and spoiled almost to the point of rotten. However, she never took her good fortune for granted because night time always brought memories of her former life to mind.
This continued until the summer of Astrid's fourteenth year, when the armies of the king returned from their years abroad and celebration lit the streets of Athens. During that time, the soldiers held mock battles in the street and Astrid found herself in the middle of one in particular.
During an unwitting dare by a friend, Astrid found herself confronted with a stunningly handsome young captain. In a brash move, he pulled her from the crowd and challenged "him" to a sword fight. Finding herself corner, the young girl was forced to spar with him and much to both their surprise, she managed to disarm him. While staring into her crystal blue eyes in bemusement, the young soldier found himself in the awkward position of being defeated by what he suddenly knew as a GIRL!
Before he could prove that though, the crowd swelled around them and she slipped off into the mass.
Overcome with the excitement of the city, the pretty blond attended a banquet where she caught the eye of one young solider in particular and the die was cast. It was the same young man she'd defeated in the streets and he found himself intralled by the beauty of the young imp. For weeks, she and Kyrian met on the sly when they could and he obtained permission from his father to court her. Unfortunately, before her young suitor could ask for her hand, her true father, General Kleinias, discovered her and her true identity came to light.
In a rage, the general ordered the deaths of her beloved "parents" and took her back to the home she hated. Grief stricken and disillusioned, Astrid found herself promised in marriage to a man of her father's ilk and desperately tried to escape the snare enfolding her.
In a desperate bid for freedom, she and her beloved soldier drugged her guard and fleed into the night. Unfortunately, they were discovered before they could make good their escape and Kyrian was mortally injured in the fight. Unwilling to leave him behind like he asked, Astrid held him as his life blood flowed upon the sands and cried out for vengeance from the gods.
And much to her surprise... It was answered.
From out of the mists rose the figure of a goddess dressed all in white. Recognizing her as the goddess Athena, Astrid pleaded for justice but recieved so much more. Having watched her daughter from afar for so many years, Athena refused to let her suffer any longer. As clearly as she could, she revealed the truth of her daughters paternity and then offered her a place at her side. A place where she would be able to offer justice to those in need and never suffer the will of others. Nor feel the sting of loves bitter kiss if she did not wish.
Agreeing blindly, Astrid took the deal her mother offered and has been her hand of swift justice ever since. In todays modern world, she bears the badge of a US Marshall but serves no one but her mother.
