About

Aster grew up in the town of Secomber. She was raised in a small orphanage and despite not knowing her parents, was a happy child. Aster learned her purpose in life at the age of 7. While doing chores with other children in the garden, she found an injured bunny with a broken leg. Using powers she didn't know she had, she was able to heal the broken leg and watched it hop away. It was the first time she realized she could be useful and make a difference.

Loss

Tragedy struck the orphanage when Aster was only 11. The building caught fire late at night with everyone sound asleep. Try as she might, she couldn't harness the power to heal those she watched dying around her. Aster was the sole survivor that night. Cruel rumors eventually spread in town that blamed Aster for the fire. How was she the one that survived? She must have had something to do with it. Maybe her parents gave her up for being a menace. While most of the townsfolk didn't actually believe these rumors, it hurt Aster to hear them nonetheless. Between losing the only home she had ever known and the rumors swirling about Secomber, Aster left town to find a new family. Being only 11 however, she didn't last long and returned to Secomber within a few months time.

Hope

During those months she met Flaph! A strange old lady who lived in the woods but knew a lot about magic. Aster was fascinated by her. She had also seen a Ki'rin in the woods, but when she told Flaph, Flaph just laughed in her face. Through a series of events, Aster creates a pact with the Ki'rin of Star Mounts to be of more use in aiding others. Upon returning to Secomber, clerics from the Temple of Ilmater took her in to house and raise her. Aster practiced healing and caring for others at the temple through her innate abilities. But those powers alone could not keep up with the cleric's skills. She yearned to be more useful. Aster's real adventure begins when there is hearsay of a man needing help in a nearby town. Aster recruits Flaph to journey with her.
