Pokémon OC Profile

Astrea - 30 - She/Her - Noivern

(Originally drawn December 2020)

Once a curious and excitable regular Noibat, she soon found herself life up-heaved when her tribe proclaimed as “The Star Child” . When she evolved, parts of her body were made of the cosmos, and she found that could weave stars! But everyone began to treat her differently. She was “special” now. If there weren’t kissing up to her, they were insulting her behind closed doors. No one was honest anymore. Moreover, the prophecy laid out by the tribe demanded that she be sacrificed to the “red canyon” -- an empty max den.

She was stuck for what seemed to an eternity in a pit with naught but a suffocating crimson aura that began to consume her. Her loneliness became anger, and her anger turned into a rampage. For several years, any pokemon that wandered in from the bottom were soundly swept, until she was finally defeated - and freed from the dynamax curse.

She was taken in by the residents of Iyounari Village - treated not as a monster or an oracle, but as an equal. She felt accepted like she was before she was discovered to be the Star Child, and she clutched onto that feeling as tightly as she could. She adopted the village’s traditions: harmony through meditation, poise, and careful study. Through this, she created her new persona: a wise, pristine lady whose motherly attitude towards those around her is matched only by her love of reading.

But if you look past all of that, you may find that there’s more to her than meets the eye. During the rare times she is allowed to open up, her true childhood self comes back into play and she starts getting that enthusiasm again - often in the form of long un-paused rambles or in the way her eyes are practically glowing when she's star-weaving. Perhaps one day, she can share the stars with all around her once more.
