Overview
Astria Stanier is an Ishgardian lancer, and one of the heiresses to her family's fortune, along with her cousin and sister-by-adoption, Elisa. She has gained renown- or rather infamy- in some circles for her short temper and tendency to lash out at those who cross her.
Biography
Early Life & Childhood
Astria Stanier was born in the city of Ishgard to Godric and Cordelia Stanier. Her mother, Cordelia, was a talented seamstress and her father, Godric, was a soldier-turned-bounty-hunter known for his skill at arms. The family was quite wealthy as a result of the combined fortunes of their ancestors, most of whom were craftsmen or merchants. When Astria was 2 years of age, her parents adopted her cousin, Elisa, after her parents passed away. The children were nearly inseparable throughout childhood, though they were almost always at odds. The children gained a reputation with those who knew them for being troublemakers, often gaining their entertainment at the expense of others. What time Astria didn't spend with Elisa was spent with her father, from whom she received the majority of her martial training. Her father insisted she master archery, but she quickly gave up the bow, forcing her father to acquiesce to her demands to learn lancing instead.
Adolescence
Around the age of 12, Astria and Elisa started becoming more aware of what the world had to offer. They both developed a passion for reading and learning new things, though most often different subjects. Where Elisa was more interested in subjects like alchemy, Astria developed a particular interest in history. Since the family was wealthy, their love of books was no issue. Astria soon found a friend in Cathryn Blacke, the daughter of a much poorer family on hard times. After introducing Cathryn to Elisa, the trio became extremely close, and convinced Godric and Cordelia to hire Cathryn as a maidservant.
Adulthood and Present
As time went on, Cordelia's health began deteriorating. Astria began spending more time with her mother, knowing the inevitable end was near. She was often joined by Elisa and Cathryn. By this time, Cathryn had become, for the most part, a member of the family, and had been given her own quarters within the family's home. After a few months, Cordelia finally passed away, and Godric who was elderly for a man of his occupation joined her a few months later. Astria was not saddened by this, though, as she had come to terms with the fact that her mother and father would eventually pass away. Elisa, on the other hand, was devastated by the loss, and much of Astria's time in the coming days was dedicated to comforting her. After the fog of mourning was finally lifted from the household, Astria returned to what she enjoyed; reading, and practicing lancing. However, she and Elisa soon discovered a love for traveling and decided to take a trip to Limsa Lominsa. It was on this trip that Astria discovered a new hobby: Solving people's problems for money. Though she never became a full-time mercenary, she enjoyed the work well enough. She and Elisa continued taking trips to different locales in Eorzea, mostly in the Black Shroud which they had decided was their favorite place to visit. Eventually, the traveling became more seldom, but still retained its charm. The duo did not travel together as often, but would buy various gifts to compensate. Eventually, on one of her solo trips to Ul'Dah, Astria met an Auri man named Jenkshi Kagon, who would become her next employer. The man was the operator of a courier service known as the Veiled Ravens. The couriers were interesting enough, though a only select few stood out to Astria. The courier service, however, did not last long for Astria, as deliveries became fewer and farther between and more dangerous than she liked. The couriers ended up going their separate ways, and Astria and Elisa returned to their lives of reading and traveling.
