What kind of music does your OC listen to? Are they fans of any particular genres?
Astoria is a metal head. Nobody was prepared to find out this information, but that's her overall favorite. She's been around and has heard a lot of genres, so she's okay with largely everything.
As long as you're not blaring it in her ears at 6am. THEN There were be Problems.
(Conversely, her son Osen is into Eurobeat and EDM. He's a fast bnu)

What's Astoria's fondest memory of home?
It was a meteor shower - she grew up in territory that the Paleroche family controls in modern Kjerag, and her village was in the northern mountains. It was shortly before she was taken in as a priestess, and she was just coming back from a long hunt with her father. hearing him point out the names of stars, and telling her to say a prayer for each one that fell, resonated with her; it's why she associates the stars with her fallen friends and family so heavily.
She was the oldest of seven, and that was one of the rare times she got with him one on one. The blanket in her memory box is the one he made for her when she left for the temple.

What does your OC's name mean? Why did you choose it? If they have a codename, why did they chose that codename?
I have reasons for all of them, but I'll start with "Astoria" - originally, I went into Arknights completely blind and put in my usual nickname of "Tori". I wanted to make it sound a bit more 'professional' after getting full context, and my usual name choice of Victoria was spoken for. So I spat out the name Astoria instead, which turned out to be an Old English name meaning 'hawk'. So it stuck for the hilarious irony. Her surname of "Frostulf" is similar; it's "Ice Wolf" in Nordic, and felt even funnier to attach to a character based off of a rabbit.
Astoria's actual birthname of Shanti is a Hindi word meaning "Tranquility", and is a stealth pun on her being a moon rabbit; she's technically named for the Mare Tranquilitas-

if your oc could pick somewhere to vacation to, where would they go, and what would they do?
Honestly, Astoria would take a chance to go back to somewhere remote, like the more isolated villages of Sami. She hasn't been there in a few centuries, and would mostly just sight see to see what's changed from the last time she was there.
Maybe stay for a festival of some sort, depending on the time of year the visit happens. Her dialect when speaking Sami could use a bit of work, though; she's rusty!
