Physical Description
Born with albinism, Asta has very pale skin, white hair, and pale blue eyes. Though tall, her frame is a bit on the slender side- which can be deceptive, because she's actually covered in lean muscle. Her face is rounded but full of sharp lines from her blade of a nose and slightly angular eyes. The only real softness in her face come from her full lips.

Personality
Asta is skittish. Years of living on her own like a hunted animal has taught her to act very much as any prey creature would, constantly wary and ready to flee. In moments of calm, however, she is quiet and contemplative, smiling easily but rarely laughing, frowning but never getting truly angry.

Magic/Abilities
Aside from her survival skills, Asta has the ability to change her form from human to animal--any animal she wishes, within reason (nothing like a dragon or a manticore). While she can technically stay in whichever form she likes for as long as she likes, each shape of course comes with its own advantages and drawbacks. Additionally, she is only able to take the shape of animals that she is familiar with.

Relationships
Zephyr, her recently discovered father

Abigail Blythe, mother; deceased(ish)

History
To Asta's people, a reclusive strain of shapeshifters supposedly descended from the more heavily fae-influenced line of the people who had once been of Fell, being born albino is a curse. She was cast out from her clan as a baby, expected to die within a few days. However, she was found by a dryad who took pity on her, bringing her food and keeping her warm--or at least, that is what the dryad told her.

She grew up raised by the animals and spirits of the wild. Though she avoids human contact whenever possible, her coloring makes it nearly impossible for her to be completely hidden. She tends to lurk around Draconi Forest and Niahi Woods, and the people who occasionally glimpse a pale white figure slipping between the trees have dubbed her simply "Ghost".

She didn't learn until she was an adult that she was not, in fact, born of a reclusive strain of shifters, but instead of a mortal woman and an elemental spirit; as her mother was Connlaothian, unwed, and of a high enough station that it mattered; she was taken from her mother as a baby and left to die.
