Full Name: Astarael Atanamir
Race:: Shade
Side: Empire
Birthplace: Gil'ead
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Birthday: Winter solstice, the ultimate time for evil on earth (or it's equivalent)
Eyes: Amber green with slitted pupils
Hair: long flowing brilliantly white hair that is held back by an obsidian clasp. her hair goes all the way down to her waist
Weight: 130
Height: 5' 11"
Magic User: Yes, she learned a few things from her former father, but most from the spirit that inhabits her
Clothing: A white and opal combat outfit that looks like it was made for formal occasions, but actually is made for combat at close quarters
Preferred Weapon(s): Two curved long swords and many throwing knives. All of them are poisoned. The long swords are made from the finest white gold and silver steel, as are the knives. The poison is a rarity of her own invention, and she has the only antidote, for those who are willing to tell her what she wants to hear..
Personality: Cruel, heartless, sarcastic, and cunning, Astarael has a love of bloodshed and, oddly, anything white.This affinity is obviously a remainder of the other self's influence on the spirit. At times, her other self, the one that her spirit took over, surfaces and sometimes is strong enough to share her mind with the spirit.
Likes/Dislikes: Likes: other Shades, power, blood
Dislikes: weak sorcerers, elves
Family: Father: Saran (deceased)
Mother: Ranna (in hiding)
Brief History: Astarael was born into a family of sorcerers, and as such, were given special privileges because of their services to Galbatorix over the years, hence the affinity for expensive things. At age 14, her father, and accmplished sorcerer in the army, started to teach her to how to control and summon relatively weak spirits to do menial tasks, such as cleaning and cooking. Astarael learned rapidly, sometimes without her father's knowledge, out of a rare book she had found in an abandoned warehouse that bore the signs of a ferocious wizards' duel. The spirit that overcame her was an old, corrupted spirit of an elf who died in the Dragon Wars, hence the pointed ears. At age 18, Astarael summoned that spirit and it overwhelmed her, forcing her to kill her weak father in the process. She let her mother go for reasons unknown and proceeded to Uru'Baen, where she swore fealty to Galbatorix and began to carry out a series of missions over the next 3 years that made her stronger and all the more deadly. Before she turned 23, she destroyed a Varden outpost and intercepted a letter meant for Tronjhiem saying that a large caravan of elves was headed for Surda to aid the Varden. Astarael ambushed them in the night and killed all but the best fighter, who committed suicide before she could "interrogate" him. Because of this, Astarael created her own poison and slathered it on all of her blades. She keeps the only antidote with her at all times in a magically reinforced bottle to taunt her enemies with if they are captured.
Anything extra: Not really.
