Astarte

Nicknamed Asche. She is responsible and has, as Touwa describes, an “adult face”. Astarte is agile enough to fight grown men and carries a small pistol with her at all times for defense. She is beautiful, strict, cold, always in dark clothing, and is very mysterious; practically nothing is known about her past. Based on her mature behavior, beauty, and knowledge of families and lineages of the nobility, she might have been born in high society. She says she is not a virgin. Despite her coldness, she occasionally shows concern and care for Touwa. Astarte was the one who first picked up Touwa and brought her to the Cradle Last Trust. Apparently, she is searching for someone called the “Thorn Witch”. There are heavy hints that Astarte was somehow involved with Towa’s past, but in a bad way.
