narrative...

silent as the dead, a deep winter night tore in two the night the umber house was blessed with twins - a baby girl startlingly quiet in the passing minuted after her brothers first breath. and that was how astriss continued on; silent, contemplative, a steeled strength woven in amongs the stark's bannermen that carried as much heart and ice as the rest of them. an odd little thing, the fascination with the darkest corners of the last hearth, astriss quickly became the apple of their fathers eye, a quck witted, curious little child that seemed to constantly leave him speechless - be it upon the proclamation of things she shouldn't know, or those that he'd never heard before. the fascination with insects, animal carcasses, life beyond death, astriss and her practice in her belief of the old gods became a stringent piece of who she was, behind closed doors however, astriss heard whispers of the darker strains of religion, of magic and arts that weren't filled with reproach and curiosity drove her to seek knowledge of the unspoken.

in decades to come, and the volatile loss of the youngest umber in what remains to be a harrowing ordeal of broken bones and a burning infection, astriss simply turned inward. those of last hearth all claimed that she'd always been a little strange - a little different, but in truth, grief peeled the very flesh from her bones. the turn of tides as the starks further sought to solidify their standing with the dragons left a bitter taste upon her tongue; something about the rulers turned her stomach and her own formerly ironclad loyalty to the starks began to crack. Dragonflamw would surely offer a reigning promise of victory over what lay to the north but there had to be more - they couldn't solely believe the dragons would be their savior. A folly alliance in this game when the real threat would always come from beyond.

# wanted  connections.

former betrothed: obvious; this didn't work out, for whatever reason, astriss was likely very open about why - whether that suits the former betrothed or has ruffled feathers.  

closest friend: undoubtedly someone from the north and someone that has never questioned her... differences rather encouraged them almost . this person is well aware that the umber family are not super thrilled about the weight being put being the stark/dragon alliance
