Avery Astilor

Introduction
Avery ( Celestina) Astilor is the second biological offspring of Charles Astilor and his beloved wife, Revna Astilor (Hrafn). Avery was born after her brother, in her mother’s chambers at midnight, in the Astilor household’s residence. Avery’s physical appearance is odd—heterochromatic eyes and a piercing blue and amber-like brown set. She has multiple thick strands of hair, infused with the rest of her hair, that adorn a deep gray color, rich in the family history of the Astilors. She was given her middle name—Celestina—by her mother, who was inspired by French origins similar to that of the word “heavenly.” Avery currently has an older brother named Karl (Arthur) Astilor, who has aided in not only her studies but also her rise to becoming more influential in the Astilor household by using her gifted writing skills and empowering work effort.

Birth and Uprising
Avery was born many years after her older brother, Karl. She was quickly recognized as an intelligent girl and was entered into classes as soon as she was able to speak and read at a basic level. She became an idol of femininity for the House of Astilor, although she was rather... blunt. After many years in her educational developments and studies, she finally decided to take charge of what she though would be best for her family. And so, she turned her studies away from political and economical subjects, and instead focused on the cultures that brought together the great country of Valriege. She became interested in the lives of the people she led, and was often spotted sneaking out of the castle to roam the buzzing markets that surrounded the Astilor residence. Using her intelligence and previous studies, she began to produce stories and novellas that she would write during her free time and would read to the less fortunate whenever time allowed her. Her stories became known, branching off from a few families she read to and continuing to spread across the whole nation. Seeing her growth in popularity, her ambitious spirit, which she undoubtedly inherited from her father, Charles Astilor, led her to travel from town to town.

Port Haven
Avery took quite an interest in the beautiful, well-structured village of Port Haven, which was only a short trip away from Raghrena and later to her knowledge- Braunlande. The village was incredibly peaceful and warm. At the time, Port Haven was under the management of Tawny, the now ex-mayor. Tawny warmly invited her into the village and even offered her housing if she wished to stay for an extended period of time. Intrigued in this offer, Avery happily accepted, and moved out of the Astilor residence for the time being. In Port Haven, she met and became closer to her older brother, Arthur, a courageous and strategic man with humble beginnings who provided her with everything she could ever ask for. In response to seeing Tawny's inactivity and Arthur's kindness towards his sister, Karl took it into his own hands to make Arthur the new mayor of Port Haven. While the political change was being processed, Port Haven's diverse culture inspired Avery to once again use her Solaris-given gifts, and she turned a small, run-down building into a prosperous library, called "The Little Cabin" in reference to the famous novel "Tom's Cabin." With the assistance of Arthur, she was also able to aid in the cultural revolution of Port Haven by building a successful tavern, named "The Leaky Cauldron," which totally isn't in reference to the Harry Potter series. She was also able to establish a research facility where she solves criminal cases for anyone in need of justice or safety. However, even with all of this success, Avery still believed that her ambitions were being limited by the small outreach that Port Haven had.

The Present
Avery continues to reside in Port Haven. However, her brother Karl, with the help of Bruno and Robert, accepted her back into the family without hesitation even after such a long period of disconnection. She now serves the Astilor Household as the Chief of Staff, where she uses her writing abilities to produce historical and religious texts, write lore, and write down current events that she was in attendance of, such as the most recent downfall of Vix, Valriege's Emperor. She currently is in search of a person to share her passions with, and hopes to one day marry. However, who knows what her journey might bring?

Mr. Cheese Saga
Since Avery's discovery of Port Haven, she had a trusted friend named Mr. Cheese (MrCheese26). She was shown a tour of his town, named Dexterton, as well as getting an explanation of it's history and lore, and the culture that has blossomed because of it. In Mr. Cheese's lecture of Dexterton's history, he talked about a killer named the "Masked Man." This figure killed tens of people in Dexterton's early periods and wreaked havoc on the quaint town. Mr. Cheese acted incredibly sensitive about the topic, which provoked Avery to write down what she was told and what she saw on the tour. Going back to Port Haven, she created a small research facility and expanded her research to develop a case on Mr. Cheese, who she suspected to be the Masked Man. Weeks after gathering evidence, pictures, and written notes, she decided to bring him to court. With the help of Bruno Braun, Arthur Astilor, Winter, and her lawer Thora Braun, she was able to hold him for trial. Although Thora and Avery fought hard and long, Mr. Cheese was able to persuade the jury to believe his innocence. He walked out of the courtroom victorious. The following days, Avery found herself being stalked and threatened by none other than the Masked Man himself, who prophesied her death. "When night falls, blood rains. When day comes, you are safe." With the help of Thora, Avery was able to escape his tauntings by hiding within the basement of the Asu Tavern, owned by Thora. Avery continues to be hunted by Mr. Cheese at night, but her fear has been inconsistent due to Thora's aid.

Thora Braun
Thora Braun and Avery met shortly after she began to build her Mr. Cheese case. They began to work together on the case and expand not only their works but their personal connections. They began to exchange letters and spend time with each other more consistently outside of Avery's cases, and they eventually became best friends. After the Mr. Cheese trial, they retired back to Thora's tavern, the Asu Tavern, where Thora passed Avery a note confessing his feelings. They continue to exchange letters, now enjoying each other's company on a new level with their established relationship, from different houses yet united.
