Profile[]
"I'm Rina Astera, a noble lady from a long lineage of angels, and this meeting was preordained."
As a noble lady of House Astera descending from the Gelus race, Rina Astera secretly leads a rebellion in the city of Liberios. Her four comrades include an idol pigeon, a mafia boss, a popular talk show host, and an android. Together, they look to upset the status quo and free the people from a tyrannical government. Although since going independent she has said she plans to update her lore, she just hasn't found a medium to do so yet.
Appearance[]
Rina has a rotating purple and orange halo angled over the right side of her head, with long purple hair containing a pink underglow tied into a single knot at her shoulder level, further splitting into twin-tails that end in a spiral and reach her lower calf in length with pink accents all the way down. She wears a large cloth headband on her forehead that lays over top her bangs and a purple knee length jacket with a red ribbon tied around her waist right above where her wings are, which sit on her lower back around her hips. Her eyes are light blue with pinkish purple highlights
