NAME: Astri Falkanger
[PTabbedContent][PTab=APPEARANCE]
Astri could easily be described as a fashionista, the sort of woman who keeps up with the latest trends and as such she takes pride in her appearance. Her skin is quite pale, her eyes a green and her hair a similar colour to match—for a woman of European descent those features aren’t particularly remarkable. However her hair is rather long, reaching to her lower back. She could be considered fairly attractive, a pretty face and all that—but of course it’d depend on a person’s type.
Tall for the average woman she stands at around 5’10’’, she doesn’t know if it runs in her family considering she’s adopted but she assumes that it must be. While some would be insecure at such a height, she refuses to be forced into boring flat shoes. If the dress she’s wearing looks better in heels, she’ll wear heels. If she wants to show off how great her legs look in a certain pair of jeans then damn it, she will wear those boots that make her taller than most of her male friends. She’s much more comfortable when she looks nice.
Her style ranges from casual to far too dressy, if it looks good she’s going to wear it. However she always wears clothes that have some sort of vibrant colouring to them. The idea of not being noticed is the worst thing possible to her. She has a small tattoo of her name on her thigh after a particular incident concerning a side effect of her ability and a few runes on her forearm, for no particular reason other than the fact that she thinks they look cool.

[PTab=PERSONALITY]
To some Astri may seem headstrong, overconfident and a daredevil. The sort to find enjoyment in taking the greatest risks—she’s a lover of skydiving, skiing and any extreme sport that will give her an adrenaline rush. Anything to make her feel alive. To some, she's the best friend who's able to influence them to do the dumbest things, to others she's an idiot who's going to get herself killed early and others with a more sympathetic view may see her as the type who just wants her damn freedom. This is tied to the fact that her power can be considered to be a wiping of her existence, she puts a lot of stock on the things that are easily forgotten in life, names are things she tries to memorize, she takes a lot of pictures when she can and the permanence of something as simple as a tattoo is more of a reason to get one rather than a reason not to. She appears to have some sort of fashion addiction and a problem with keeping up with the amount of money she spends, if there's something she likes she will buy it. You don't live forever after all.
She wants to make an impact and be remembered, for no other reason than her knowledge of life's lack of permanence. She's talkative, and likes to memorize random facts because the world's a really cool place and not enough people appreciate that. Astri doesn't respond well to authority, while she may be cooperative, to be forceful with pushing regulations on her is asking for trouble and a bad attitude with her. It ties to her origin of 'defiance', her very existence seems to be in defiance of the power she has. And provided someone doesn't take an authoritarian role with her, she's rather amicable--why make enemies with everyone with that headstrong nature of hers?
She has a lot of trouble communicating her feelings with other people, because she believes that people won't fully understand which stems from issues with her adopted parents. This sort of baseless assumption of her not being understood keeps her from being close to too many people.
Say what you will about her personality, her reasons and whatever but she's definitely chaotic something.

[PTab=HISTORY]
Born in Norway to a single mother that she knows nothing about and adopted as a baby by Cecile and Matthias Falkanger Astri has always been well aware of the fact that she was adopted. Her parents (and she would still consider them her parents knowing they weren’t biologically related because they raised her damn it) were an older couple with fertility problems and so doted on her from a young age. Perhaps because of this, Astri had trouble adjusting to not getting everything she wanted later in life by other people.
Astri would say her childhood was fairly normal, she went to school and unfortunately she got bullied about this time and her powers surfaced properly. Bookish, spoiled and the sort to cause arguments she was more or less the perfect target for some. It started with people tugging on her pigtails or calling her names and the worst things that happened ended with her getting a little bit injured. Scrapes, minor cuts and the like. When she was locked in the bathroom at the age of seven her powers emerged properly. While this happened, Astri willed herself to disappear, wishing that she had never gone to this school, that she had never been born. It was then her abilities activated and literally slipped right through the door of the bathroom stall.
Obviously she was frightened by such a power, however it seemed to be something cool as well, like a superhero or something! Later that night she tried again with little success, ramming into a door and thoroughly startling her parents. It wasn’t until later that night when she was dwelling on what happened that day that she thought again about denying her own existence (for lack of better words), thinking hard about that again she found herself quite literally sinking into the bed.
Her ability was never something that she used liberally, rather something that she seemed to use unconsciously while she was terribly upset and because of the negative connotations of her power she grew to resent it. But it wasn’t until she was twelve and she had her first, big fight with her mother and father that she learned the full extent of her powers. She quite literally disappeared for a few hours, only to find it harder to (for lack of a better word) dephase herself, she lost sensation and it took every ounce of her willpower to get herself back to her usual state. A week later she woke up with her memories of the past month completely wiped and unable to remember the basics such as her name at first.
This was the turning point for her, Astri began to hate the idea that despite being gifted this gift was nothing more than an ability to deny her own existence. While it came in handy, the feeling connected to it was the complete opposite of her personality. And the incident when she was twelve seemed to scar her to the point that she began to do anything to make her feel alive, noticed and solid. Her love of extreme sports developed around this time, as did her need to fill some sort of unidentifiable hollow feeling in the pit of her stomach with constant spending (particularly on bright, noticeable clothing). She was considered a bad girl stereotype by some, someone who was just free by others and she didn’t care. When she was old enough she learned to ride a motorcycle instead of a car (just for the rush, she still had a preference for angrily biking down the streets of Oslo instead) and she got tattoos without her parents knowing quite early.
By the time she had finished education, she decided to say no to more institutionalized learning and instead of going to university she spent a year working so that she could go travelling (this was of course subsidized by her parents).
Despite having no history (to her knowledge) of magi in her family, she was contacted by Chaldea when she returned from her year of mountain climbing, ziplining, bungee jumping and god knows what else. Seeing it as an opportunity to find out more. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Astri's not sure of what she is and due to the fact that she does have magical circuits with a low number and output, neither is anyone else. As mentioned before Astri is not a magus in the traditional sense, and may in fact 'only' be a psychic with the ability to become intangible (and due to the nature of her power invisible).

Magecraft
Astri's not sure of what she is and due to the fact that she does have magical circuits with a low number and output, neither is anyone else. As mentioned before Astri is not a magus in the traditional sense, and may in fact 'only' be a psychic with the ability to become intangible (and due to the nature of her power invisible).
Name: Insubstantiality Phenomenon
Spell Rank:B
Effects: This power can be described as a total denial of the self, she becomes invisible, intangible and her presence becomes impossible to detect, however a very skilled magus may be able to detect an anomaly in the area. This is not without its limitations,as the longer she remains in this state the more she is at risk, the longer she is in this state, the harder it is to return to her usual form, after a two hours she may start losing feeling, after a few more she starts to actually disappear,and there have been occasions where she's woken up after these occasions with little memory of recent events or even something as important as her own name. Large bursts of prana in her vicinity can also lead to a forced removal of this effect.
