the particulars !
At first glance, Astoria comes off as a quiet, vulnerable girl who has no clues about protecting herself or the others around her. She looks like she wouldn't harm a fly, much less a walker, but taking another look, you'll see a hard, aggressive young woman who has had far too much taken from her. Twenty-six-years-old and she has already lost so much and the thought of losing another close to her is almost unbearable. However, with all that loss means Astoria is rather well adjusted to hiding her emotions and acting like things don't bother her. This makes her a little mentally unstable and something like a time bomb of emotions and unpredictability. When she isn't a total mess or a vengeful walker slayer, she is a relatively nice girl. She is a friendly girl and has made a habit of getting attached rather quickly. She knows that she shouldn't let people get too close because there is always that chance that they'll be gone tomorrow. She knows that no matter how true it is, it has always been like that, but she also thinks that she might be a harbinger of death. After all, most of her family has died and left her all alone in this world, so how could she not think of such a thing. So to counteract her "harbinger" status, she works twice, if not three times as hard to protect them. AJ is extremely loyal and dedicated, so it may be in your best interest to get her on your side.
Now, just because she is a sweet girl who just loves to be friends with everyone, she has her bad points too. She is rather aggressive and sometimes doesn't know when to call it quits. She is known to take it far and if it comes down to it, she isn't afraid to kill another living human to survive. The difference between her two "modes" are like night 'n' day and it is best to just avoid her when she is in a bad mood. Anyone and everyone who crosses her while she is in her bad mood is like her enemies. She won't forgive them for a long time, if ever and she feels that they should just be happy to be alive. Now the one thing that is known to calm the beast is love. She has had a few flings with passing strangers that she had a connection with and that almost makes her forget everything and forgive everyone.

the history !
BEFORE THE OUTBREAK
Astoria Jean Reinhardt was born to James and Emma in Olympia, Washington, twenty-six years ago. She is the third of five children and a twin to number four. She has an older sister and brother and a younger brother and sister. As a child, Astoria was goofy, bubbly and just your all around cute little blond twister. A lot of people, legitimately, though she had ADHD or something like it, because she was just everywhere, bouncing off of everything. It was hard for her mother and older sister to convince her to sit still and be ladylike, especially since her closest siblings were her brothers. From a young age, it was clear that AJ wasn't going to be the girly girl type, she was much more of a tomboy.
When Astoria stated into elementary school, there wasn't a day she wasn't covered in mud or bruised from falling off the jungle gym. Middle school, she was in all the sports she could be a part of. It was around the start of her sixth-grade year that she convinced her parents to let her take a variety of martial arts classes, archery, and rifle lessons. Of course, by the time she got into high school, she left most of the sports, with the exception of track, to the other students. If her mother, a little bit of a worry wort, would have allowed it, AJ would have signed up for the military like her brothers.
Unfortunately, the summer after Astoria's senior year, her little sister was hit and killed by a drunk driver. Of course, it was hard for the entire family, but it was harder still on Astoria. Not only had she found her sister and called for the ambulance, but she held the twelve-year-old girl in her arms as she turned cold. The tragedy caused AJ to take the next year off from school, her athletics keeping her sane. However, tragedy wasn't done striking the Reinhardt family. Five years later, her oldest brother was killed in action over in the middle east. A short while later, the outbreak happened.
AFTER THE OUTBREAK
Astoria and her parents were the last of the Reinhardt family to leave for California to join up with her older sister and her twin. They were just a couple miles outside of Disneyland when they'd be ambushed by a small hand full of zombies. Astoria and her father were able to get away unscathed from the tussle, but her mother was bitten. Knowing what it meant, she waited for her family to sleep before taking off. The next morning, Astoria was woken up by her father's screams. Her mother hadn't gone far enough and she was back. She killed her mother and with her father in the shape he was, they agree she'd be granting him mercy.
Astoria didn't rest for the next two days. She couldn't stop, at least not until she reached the compound. When she did arrive at Disneyland, she nearly collapsed into the guards arms. These days, she works as one of the main raiders running out for supplies and zombie hunts. She sees her brother at least once a day and her sister, well they're not on speaking terms.
