Background
A native of the Grimdark Universe, Astoria was born on that universe's planet Expel. Life was hard, and though she had an insanely high level of magical ability, her skills were mainly used to keep herself alive, as her family lived in an area constantly under siege by horrific beasts. Her entire family was killed and her family farm destroyed when she was very young, forcing her to fend for herself by becoming a thief. After she was caught stealing from the mob, she was forced into offering her healing services to the Twilight crime syndicate as a 'mob doctor'.
Her association with the Twilight Syndicate taught her to be a fierce and formidable fighter, killer, and skilled healer. It also honed her survival instinct in the process.
Life for her was a constantly adrenalin rush and knife-edged fight for survival. However, as these things always go, the crimefamily eventually decided to betray her, and she had to flee Expel, making her way to the HOTEL of that world, where she had to subsist on scraps, a far cry from the opulence provided by the Syndicate.
She led a mostly aimless and selfish life, just looking to fill her belly, until the day she found a crashed rocket pod in the middle of an Akihabara street, containing a young, helpless Noriko Marianna-Xadium, fresh from the [Mango-chan and the Four Hundred Babies|400 Baby Project]].
Suddenly confronted with a kindred spirit all alone in the world, she raised the baby to adulthood, loving her dearly but always but always feeling insecure since the young Noriko was always obsessed about finding her birth parents.
Eventually, after Noriko seemingly was killed after being "spirited away" by the Kaelyn P. Peinforte of that universe, and that Noriko's child Vermellia killed herself during an accident involving the creation of her Sniper-Scythe, Astoria fell into a deep depression and just resolved to spend the rest of her days rotting in the HOTEL.
This changed after a brief visit from The Intern, Haruka, Michiru, Cressida and Hotaru from Earth-1337, whose revelation that Noriko and Vermellia were still alive in their universe convinced her to give life a second try, and she secretly decided to tag along to their universe...
