Character[]
Background[]
Astranova is an inhabitant from outer space, not originally from Earth. From a family of monsters who she claims to have a special relationship with Ancient Egypt somewhere in time, Astranova came in contact with Earth when she got lost in open space (most likely due to being caught in an Asteroid belt perhaps) in her comet spaceship, and was magically pulled towards Earth by an unknown force, fulfilling the prophecy of the Comet, that stated that every 1,300 years a comet will come to Earth, allowing for whoever witnesses to make a promise that shall last forever.
Currently, Astranova is planning on attending Monster High, until her parents come to Earth to take her back home. In the end of Boo York, Boo York, she is seen in Monster High going to put her books in her locker. She starts talking to Raven Queen and Apple White on her iCoffin, informing them that Monster High is real. This implied that she may have some sort of connection with Ever After High.
Her background is synonymous with aliens that have been spotted by theorists on earth known as Blue Avians, a.k.a the Space Alliance. These extraterrestrial beings with blue skin and bird-like features were known for having early contact with the Ancient Egyptian civilization and aiding the Egyptians in constructing some of their architecture, and providing enlightenment on improving society.
Personality[]
Astranova is a complete alien, both literally and figuratively. Recently she has landed on Earth, where she has become stranded and is learning the Earth's ways; however, this task can be challenging for her, as she will most of the time misinterpret or completely misunderstand expressions and idioms from her fellow students.
She always keeps a calm and collected demeanor, mostly quiet, and when she speaks, it's usually as monotone and stoic as one can be, lacking a clear expression of emotion and giving her voice a more mature tone. Despite this behavior, the way she acts also has a hint of constant amazement and curiosity. She is easily impressed and a literal starry-eyed girl who's willing to learn and fit in the culture of Earth. She is also a tad lazy and will fall asleep easily, for long periods, whether she's in stasis from her spaceship or not.
Appearance[]
Astranova has dark blue skin with faceted crystal texture, dark blue starry eyes, and blackish blue-purplish hair with silver highlights evoking stars. She has markings of stars on her face. Astranova only has four long, needle-thin fingers on each hand. Her head is quite large. She also has long black hair with purple streaks.
Abilities[]
Astranova holds some capacities due to her comet alien heritage, including:
- Floating: Astranova is able to translocate from place to place by floating.
- Psychokinesis: She can move objects using her mind or hand gestures.
- Gravity Control: She can control gravity, causing everyone to float and feel weightless.
Relationships[]
Family[]
Astranova has a mother, a father, and a grandmother in her household; they're both from the same alien species as her. Her grandmother seems to have a close relationship with her, and she seems to have quite a chill personality, so much that when Astranova accidentally crashed into her Granny's spaceship, she claimed that the dents gave it more personality.
