Astra Longbow

Astra Longbow, (Asytra Longbow or Istrian: Астра длинный лук) was a powerful Herbal Mage from Istra during the golden ages of Ieshia, and the golden ages of Istra. She was the mother of Philip I king of Ieshia, and Grandmother to Philip II of Ieshia. Astra is notably known for her role in the down fall of the Ieshian empire, and for her role in the cause of the Ieshian civil war. A powerful mage, she was trained in the Istrian arts of magic. She was also a product of the Power titan Corous.

Astra was most notably known for her role as Queen Regent of Istra when her first cousin Queen Lagamasha fell ill. She assumed this role from the years of 575 to 645. A peaceful ruler, she ruled with compassion and strength. Astra was known for fighting off rebel invaders, and Scaptian enemies.

in 598, Astra took a trip to Ieshia where her son Philip had been ruling as King. In that year, Astra had met her grandson Philip II for the first time. Him being a grown man, Astra couldn't use her charm. Philip had heard horrible things of Astra, their relationship never became more than acquaintances.

Astra had learned of the dark elves of Clifspire, also known as the Vatican. Astra being the Queen Regent, she negotiated with the dark elves, making them an ally of Istra. Being so far away the Dark Elves couldn't help in most affairs but what they could help with was spy's. Astra hired spies from the Vatican to spy in Ieshia.

In the After Ages (after her time as queen regent) Astra found her true heritage. Her "father" is Corous, the titan of power, this makes her a celestial-Istrian hybrid. This also gave her immense powers and abilities, although being immensely powerful, her abilities are often outmatched by characters such as Gabriel, Comakath, and even Corous, she is considered to be one of the most powerful characters do to her being a herbal mage and having the power Vahilementen + her powers from her father Corous. These powers remained unknown to her until Lagamashas altered timeline.

Astra had romantic relations with Pelous until his death, she considered him to be her other half, When Pelous died from Comakath she vowed to bring him back and murder Comakath, however all her attempts to kill him would fail. Pelous was her heart and soul, to him she was unbreakable glass. Her powers completely outweigh his in terms of strength, her powers are unique, while his are somewhat common.

History
Astra was born into a very powerful family in Istra during the 4th century. Astras' mother was a very powerful and noble woman, she was very well versed in the arts of herbal magics. Astras family also competed with Queen Lagamashas family for the crown of Istra, many times a queen would die heirless, therefore the crown would pass to the next in line. This competition started back in the second century.

Astra and Lagamasha come from the same family line, the house of Istra. It eventually split into the House of Longbow (Astras line) and the Lagamasha branch. As the crown passed back and forth between each family, Lagamashas' mother Queen Eleanor had a child before she died. This finally ended the 'Crown Referral' eleven years into Lagamashas' reign she fell ill, having her cousin Astra take power as the Queen Regent of Istra.

Astras' time as Queen Regent
Once Astra took power in 575, she immediately started changing things, Lagamshas Istra was completely different from Astras. Astras Istra was filled with deceit and lies. While Lagamashas was filled with peace and happiness. Astras' branch of the family was connected to many parts of the world. Her son Philip ruled Ieshia, and her daughter ruled Sentia Venercia. Within the 1st year of her reign, Astras' reforms brought Istra out of economic crisis, she brought upon a golden age for Istra, however, her jealousy of her cousin and everyone around her made her paranoid. This caused a ripple affect, Astra paid spies to spy in Ieshia, this would go on for the 120 years, Astra became so paranoid, she aligned herself with the Dark of Elves of Clifspire. Directly going against her son and her grandson. This only got worse as Astra aged

Once Astras' time as Queen Regent came to end, Astra left a thriving Istra to Lagamasha, however, the court of Istra was corrupt, even more so than before. No one could trust anyone anymore, murders became a regular.

Powers
Astra's powers are broken into two categories; her powers from the original timeline, and her powers from the altered timeline.

Original Timeline:

 * Istrian Herbal Magics: Being a Herbal Mage, Astra was granted a plethora of powers. she was able to manipulate nature in all aspects, Astra used a staff that harnessed and helped her control her powers.
 * Biokinetic florakinesis: Astra was able to manipulate all things living, although she could not control their direct actions, she could control their thoughts. In other words she was able to manipulate their thoughts, and mind. she was able to manipulate plants. As a powerful mage, Astra had a wooden staff that allowed her to manipulate nature around her, even allowing her to create new plants from the ground with a simple tap. Her staff granted her many powers this was by far the most powerful and most important.
 * Longevity: being both Istrian and a mage both granted her a longer life. Istrians are a subsection of elves, making her not mortal. However, she wasn't completely immune to death, she could still pass due to disease, age, wounds, and overextension of magic. Her powers granted her a longer lifespan. However, it is a possibility that Astra passed due to her age.

Altered Timeline:
Being a child from a celestial being Astra has a plethora of powers and abilities that she uses to her aid. Her abilities are much more powerful due to the fact that she is a celestain hybrid. Her abilities are enhanced with her Istrian powers. In the original timeline Astra was never attune to her abilities. Astras powers consist of extreme energy blast/wielding, geode manipulation, enhanced strength, speed, and durability, density manipulation, allowing her to fall through floors, etc. flight,


 * Celestial-Istrian Physiology: Being a child born from Corous and the power vahilementen, Astra is incredibly powerful, both physically and mentally. Her powers are unlike anything the Angels have seen. She also has incredibly powerful mind compulsion. Stronger than any enhancement from a vahilementen. Because she is born from Corous, she is connected mentally with the Angels, this gives her the upper hand in many battles. Her strength is also physically enhanced. However she is mainly stronger with her powers, not physical strength.
 * Enhanced Strength: Although Astra isn't that stronger her strength is somewhat augmented. She however cannot win in a battle against a angel if she was to rely on her strength.
 * Enhanced Durability: Astras' durability is incredible. During the final battle Astra was able to protect Pelous and fight off harpies. Once he was injured in the final battle, Astra flew him through the air, while she was flying Comakath blasted her and split them apart, where she landed far away from Pelous. After falling over two hundred feet, Astra got back up almost instantly and continued to fight.
 * Density Manipulation: Astra is able to manipulate her density, allowing her to travel through walls, bodies, floors, and virtually anything, she can also make herself completely weightless. Allowing her to fly with ease.
 * Intangibility: Astras' control over her density, weight and mass give her the ability to phase through solid objects. As she does so, an aura of purple/plum light envelopes the part of her body that is phased through matter. When phasing, Astra can increase her density to destroy the object she phases through from the inside.
 * Energy/power Manipulation: Astra can manipulate energy in all forms, with the Vahilementen her powers are tripled. She is able to create shockwaves of purple energy, and even create large energy blast's. Astra can project energy blasts, streams, waves and bolts of her own psionic and telekinetic energy, allowing her to hit, push/pull or blow away her targets, potentially exerting enough force to destroy them. This energy manifests in any shape or form, outlining her telekinetic spheres of influence, as the energy is visible in a purple color. This power does not come from the Power Vahilementen, but these powers can be enhanced with the use of it.
 * Force-field generation: Astra s is able to create and manipulate energy to create force-fields. She most notably used a force-field against Corous, but, She was easily able to overpower him.
 * Reality Manipulation: Astra is able to manipulate and change reality. Astra was to send a stream of power into the ground cracking it. Astra really never used this ability
