So a while back I posted what basically amounted to Astrid's entire backstory. But there are some little details that I didn't really clarify in my first go-around, and I didn't know where exactly to put them. So I'm gonna put them here.

• Her patches are fused to her skin - they cannot be removed. If she has an arm or leg mod that doesn't have patches just pretend they do.

• Her hearing aids function as normal, though. She can take them off to look “normal” but she can’t hear without them.

• She’s immune to the G-Virus. All the zygotes were. That was part of their design.

• Astrid will admit that adopting Moo Moo started out as an experiment but she has really stepped into the role of mother over the years. No, Moo Moo is not an experiment. He is her son and you will treat him as such.

• She’s fluent in German and English. She’s never been able to get the Zurg language quite down as it tends to change rapidly and without warning. She’s told Moo Moo will have an easier time when he grows up.

• She sleeps approximately two hours a night.

• Diedrich’s book “How to Win Friends and NOT FAIL” is her go-to guide for social interaction. Her success rate is about what you’d expect.

• Big-headed, bug-eyed, cup size: sad. Some body image issues.

• She’s an honorary Zurg Planet citizen – she can’t do much there at the moment outside of tourist stuff (and she's never actually been there) but if she ever acquires property she’ll be granted full residential rights and privileges (and a full-ride scholarship for Moo Moo no matter how young he is).

• The Nacht Family
• Moo Moo is her adopted Zurg baby son. He's a sweet lil snugglebug and loves to smile and laugh. His name is Moo Moo because that's all the English he knows.
• Beaker is her experiment / tentacle monster. Astrid thinks Beaker's a boy but honestly there's really no way to tell. He doesn't bark or anything but he acts like a very happy and loving lap dog for the most part. He has no consistent shape, he's just tentacles and red eyes and sometimes teeth and maybe a beak sometimes.
• Delilah is her grunny, bequeathed to her by Johnny K. Gambino himself for her 15th birthday, or so it said on the mass-printed birthday card Delilah was chewing on. She's pretty skittish and surprisingly strong for her size. Be careful; she bites if she doesn't like you. Or if she likes you. Or if she's indifferent towards you.
• G-BOT is her lifeline. It's a robot who speaks with a slight German accent and it's basically a walking talking smartphone times a billion. It's very much a treasured member of the family because Astrid is fairly certain she'd be dead without it. Emoticon faces, and a winning smile. =]
