Background: Asterakhé Nephthara is a Chthonic tiefling who chose sacred devotion and discipline rather than allowing her fiendish heritage to dictate her fate. Her twin brother, Nyserakhé, instead pursued the truth of their shared bloodline through an infernal pact. Though his methods worry her, she remains fiercely protective of him and believes he can master the bargain without becoming its servant.

Appearance: Asterakhé is tall and imposing, with deep blue-black skin, long golden hair, swept-back black horns, molten gold eyes, and fine golden markings beneath them. She wears dark plate armour trimmed in gold and carries herself with solemn dignity, creating a striking contrast to Nyserakhé’s white hair, red eyes, living sigils, and elegant unarmoured clothing.

Personality: Calm, protective, and quietly compassionate, Asterakhé instinctively places herself between danger and those unable to defend themselves. She values mercy, honesty, and freely chosen devotion, but carries a deep hatred for fiends and the suffering they inflict. She trusts Nyserakhé more than anyone, even when she disagrees with his secrecy, deception, or willingness to bargain with infernal powers.
