Physical
Height: 25in
Weight: 60lbs
Appearance: Astrid is a wolf of mixtures, her under body is a light grey-white colour and it advances all the way up through greys and browns to the top of her body where black develops. There is a long thin line of black down the middle of her body like a racing stripe but from this line greys and browns evolve. Her nose and pads are a matching black while her eyes are a glowing gold.

Her fur is rough to the touch but it is always well groomed and never tangled. Occasionally she will weave flowers and sweet-smelling herbs into her fur so she always has a healing and earthy smell. Of course her reason for doing this is so that she smells and looks nice not so that others can identify.

Her body itself is petite and fragile, which is mirror through her soft and high-pitched voice. She never stutters but her words are often so soft that one cannot hear them. She is an elegant walker with every step looking like a dance, her movements are similar with many of them being reserved yet also submissive.

Her daemon is a mallard drake, with a green head and a brown body. Similarly to her he is lighter on his underside that on his upper side. His belly and wings are a lighter brown than his chest and back. He has matching gold eyes with her.

Personality:Astrid is a very timid wolf with a rather depressive attitude towards life, it could be said that she enjoys being as sad as she always is because by feeling sorry for herself the whole time she also feels important in a strange and twisted way. She would much rather be the submissive creature in any situation and fights would not end with her fighting back or running away but rather her lying down on her back with her legs in the air and hoping for the best.

She hates large crowds and can get quite claustrophobic in them while small spaces pose no problem on the other hand and actually make her feel quite comforted. She hates it when places are too noisy or too quiet and will actually go in pursuit of the perfect place to be noise-wise.

She is neither good nor bad, her negative attitude affecting more than just herself. She believes herself to be a realist and so her heart does not break for every death nor can she find it in herself to be happy or sad for others. Her only emotion is the emotion she has for herself.

She loves telling stories and she is a talented healer, her favorite part about healing is bring new life into the world simply because she finds it impossible to believe that life came from nothing.

She never talks about her history and happens to make herself appear to be a very magical and mystical wolf. Dai even helps it.

Dai on the other hand enjoys the company of others yet most times he is content with Astrid’s company, after all they are much friendlier with each other than with any other creatures. Dai never has the problem of claustrophobia in crowds but he is just as timid as Astrid is.

History: Astrid’s parents were both Myou but her grandmother on her mother’s side was a daja. Of course her parents where quite surprised when she was born that Dai appeared magically in thin air next to her. They were tempted to eat the duckling at first and even her sibling tested a little nibble but every time anyone but herself tried at the duckling Astrid would cry out. It was soon learned that Dai was only for Astrid to touch.

She was naturally quite different and closed out from the family for most of her young life, this was where she developed her negative outlook. He differences made her siblings find her strange and weird while she despised what she was in many ways. She even tried to draw away from Dai yet no matter how much she ignored him he always knew how she felt. When she was a year old her mother took her to her grandmother.

When she met another who was like her, her depressive state resided somewhat yet her negative attitude never fully left her. Her grandmother looked exactly like, if a little bit old, and had a white ferret as a companion. She taught her the truth about Dai being her second soul and helped her develop a closer relationship. Her grandmother also taught her how to heal and how to tell stories and became an overall mentor. Her grandmother taught Astrid everything she knew, even the mysterious aura-like attitude that she held.

Unfortunately age caught up with the wolf and she died, leaving Astrid heart-broken. She returned to her small family pack and her grown-up siblings. The teasing and taunting was of course much less yet she still received stares. She left her family pack, not because of that, but rather to find a place where her skills would be put to better use.
