Personality: A seeker of knowledge, a hunter, if you will. To her, knowledge is something that can not be gained with ethics and morals. To find out how a body reacts, you must have a body, no? To find out how a man screams when you rip off his toenail, it can not be replicated with a goat. Astrephia is someone who had long since abandoned her morality in order to find the secrets that lie within the world.

Astrephia is a gentle person, and even calm most of the time. She speaks softly, and almost sweetly. Her voice never reaches a yell, and most of the time, it is barely above a whisper. Astrephia keeps herself well-groomed, and takes good care of her silver hair. She doesn't let anyone touch it, and will disintegrate the hand of anyone who does—barring they are not an Espada or Fraccion of another Espada. Astrephia does not use her Fraccion for experiments. They are too valuable for that. In fact, Astrephia takes good care of her Fraccion. She treats them to dinner, and will even buy them presents on special occasions. All she asks in return is for them to bring in a test subject whenever she asks for one.

Astrephia keeps herself in her tower most of the time, and has reinforced it to allow her to use her own abilities without damaging anything outside of her own territory. When she does get out, she is the woman described above. In her lab, Astrephia might not even hear someone talking to her if she's not wanting to be talked to. She doesn't allow many people into her lab, and thus, not many know the true extent of her experiments. Astrephia is not beneath the pleasures of the body, of course. She has urges, and she does fulfill them whenever she wishes.

Character Background: Although Astrephia is on the older side, she was never one to go out and acquire power on her own. Astrephia was born in the height of the Roman Empire. From birth, she heard voices in her head. She was able to tell the secrets of men and women just by looking at them. She was taken to an oracle who saw her 'gift,' as he called it, as a calling to the deity Jana—the Goddess of secrets, mysteries, and hidden things. Astrephia was raised as an oracle would be, and gave what advice she could. She listened to her voices constantly, and if there was a dispute among truths, then Astrephia would be the mediator.

Astrephia's life was filled with knowing the secrets of others. She would know what man was sleeping with whom, what woman had stolen an apple. There were many secrets Astrephia knew, and she wanted to know more. She wanted to know them all. So Astrephia's services as a mediator grew, and she would listen to any wild claim to learn more of what that person had to say. Astrephia made many enemies this way, and she died to one of their hands. After exposing a lecherous man for what he was, he killed her the following night. Astrephia's desire to know was still not satisfied, and she quickly Hollowfied out of regret of not knowing more.

As a Hollow, Astrephia did not fight much. She ate when she had to, but she mostly watched over humans and learned more about them. She knows much of the history of the Roman Emperors, and she once knew the location of many treasured artifacts that time has now lost. She tracked such things, and found their locations. She once could tell you where the Ark of the Covenant was, but such a thing is just 'not important enough' for her to remember.

Astrephia grew slowly compared to most Hollows. Had she been more aggressive, she would have been a Vasto Lorde before turning. But Astrephia saw no want in that, and instead, she just wanted to learn more. Astrephia joined up with the Espada so she could experiment on Shinigami—something she rarely got to do—as well as for the chance to look at their libraries once the war was won.
