Astrid Nolle

Physical Description
Standing at only about 4 ' 10'', Astrid is extremely underweight and malnourished. Her skin is dark from being overly exposed to the sun, and she has short, ragged blonde hair. Her eyes are brown, and she has long lashes. Her back is heavily scarred, and she also has a scar from the top of her ear to her jaw on the right side of her face.

Personality
Astrid is incredibly jumpy, and very easily startled. She shies away from any and all physical contact, and doesn't ever look people in the eyes. She has trouble talking to people in general. Around any person of rank, she gets more nervous than she already is, and obeys any command immediately, no matter what she's doing already. She has trouble forming relationships with anyone, and just because she talks to you once doesn't mean that she'll do it again.

Backstory
Astrid was more or less sold into slavery by her parents at a young age. They were a poor family as it was, and needed the money to support their older son, Nox.

The dragon racing 'business', questionable as it was, offered a decent sum of money, so the deal was made. Astrid grew up learning to be one of the jockeys for the races, not being treated very well. None of the people who had been sold into the racing business were treated well.

Eventually, Astrid bonded with one of the dragons she rode, Spitfire.
