History: They grew up in a small nomadic tribe that consisted of a few family groups. They are a child of a huntress mother and a healer father. They have six siblings, three older and three younger, consisting of four brothers and two sisters both of whom are older. They had a few close friends, but enjoyed being alone most of the time. Their eldest sibling was their main tormenter when they were younger, but they got along with the rest of their family quite well. 

Upon reaching maturity they felt drawn to the call of nature, more so than most of their family. Aster and their older brother Peturey both left their family to find their destiny in the womb of nature. They found themselves in a group of druids and rangers and joined them in their journeys. Somewhere along the way Peturey fell for one of the rangers and they got married. He had a permanent place in the group, and Aster felt a pull to something, somewhere else; and so they left. 

In the dead of their twenty-fifth winter Aster came across an injured worg pup, around the age of seven months. She seemed to have been injured in her first hunt and her pack lost her in the snow. Aster healed the pup and cared for her from then on. The two traveled from forest to forest, wildland to wildland. Aster still keeps in contact with their family with message scrolls carried either by their youngest brothers red-tailed hawk, their older sister’s great horned owl, or their older brother's golden eagle.

Shortly after Eira's (the pup's) first year celebration Aster and her came across her pack and rejoined them, the pack taking a while to get used to Aster and some even bonding with them as Eira had. Aster still wanders, sometimes with different worgs in tow, but always returns to the packs territory where they have set up a tent above the pack's main den.

It was during one of their solo travels that they met Ívar, a Raider from the Sanu Tribe. There first meeting ended in bloodshed as did the next. Each battle across the months ending in a less and less ciolent victory until one crossing of their paths lead to them fight only with words, and then not fighting at all. Slowly the two grew friendly, their furred companions having already bonded long before this point. Their friendship grew with moments of trust and even more arguements, the two having been raised in very different tribe lifes. Soon their friendship turned to something deeper, and within a year of their first civil conversation the two were officially courting. Their time split between their own personal wanders and duties to tribe and pack; but all the same they return to the cabin they built now sitting where Aster's tent once stood.
