Astra, also known as the Nova Visionary is a mountain fox who relies on the power of the stars and galaxies to defeat her foes. Designed from the ground-up being easy to access hard to master, is a light and fast trap-setter type character with multiple playstyles in mind.

"Do you see the beauty in the stars? I wish to keep them. I wonder what it is happening down below, all my readings say a terrible future is about to come, should I help her?"

With the power of stars in her hands, this Nova Visionary uses her tarot cards to create destinies from the guiding stars! Beware of her 3 cards – Solar, Stardust and Nebula. All three can be used to both cast spells and create traps to turn the tide of the battle. As a defender of the Archai Mountains, she will not hesitate to move to protect her home.

– Her moves changes according to which card she has active

• Solar (Sun) – Procures sun bursts to explode and blow away enemies with a strong force
• Stardust (Star) – Procures multiple small bursts of stars to keep enemies at bay
• Nebula (Galaxy) – Procures a negative space or black hole to hold enemies in place near her grasp

The cards can be used as Spells (Forward Special) or Traps (Down Special)

To Switch Cards: Tap Special to switch cards fast, hold it to select a specific card.
To Return Cards: Hold Down Special for half a second.

There are much more unlisted tech, all of them revolve around her cards and aerials, all interacting in surprising ways.

Other things included in the character:

• Advanced AI, knowing most of the tricks Astra has (WIP)
• Her own stage for you to enjoy (WIP)
• An amazing character theme: https://youtu.be/gCJCDXU7cSc

Author’s Message:

After such a long time working on Astra, I am so happy to finally release her. After 5 gruelling months ever since she was started on July, and announced on August 26th (https://twitter.com/WishdreamStar/status/1165745047767093248) and after 3 complete revisions, she is finally done.

I worked so hard to finish her, making her fun and exciting to play as well as fun to discover what she has underneath.
I hope you all enjoy her and how she plays. She may be rough around the edges here and there but I hope we can work together to fix all of that.
