Astrid

the Bloodlust Sprite · Assistant Manager of the Desperado Club

A tiny, tuxedoed, terrifyingly high-level Bloodlust Sprite who runs the Desperado Club's floor with cardiovascular magic.

Story so far

Astrid is the Desperado Club's assistant manager, a hand-sized fairy of shocking power who descends after Princess Donut's self-defense killing on the dance floor. A Bloodlust Sprite wielding cardiovascular magic — able to make a heart beat until it bursts into flame — she is level 125 and, tellingly, carries no "non-combatant" tag. She apologizes for security's failure, refunds and comps the party's guards, and grants Carl's odd request to spare and re-hire the two disgraced cretin bodyguards.

Cold, competent, and quietly lethal.

Appearance

A hand-sized female fairy with raven hair in a severe bun, wearing a tiny tuxedo like the bouncers, trailing tiny red sparkles; a deep, serious voice at odds with her size.

Role

The Desperado Club's powerful, order-keeping assistant manager.

Relationships

Desperado Club — The nightclub whose floor she commands.
Carl — Grants his request to spare the cretin bodyguards.
The Sledge — One of the bouncers she nearly punishes before Carl intervenes.
