Astrid was a complex person to say the least. She was a goddess turned mortal for causing chaos in Ithaca, now or at least was a princess in Troy during the Troy and Ithaca war. Odysseus sensed there was something g different about her so he took her with him on the last ten years of his journey. Which she got blinded at some point during. When he returned home to Penelope and Odysseus, Penelope and her just clicked. Penelope took care of Astrid as best she could, and Astrid do the best she could to repay Penelope. With Penelope Astrid usually tends to act very loving and respectful as she has always liked Spartans, yet knowing Penelope’s ties with Ithaca especially with Odysseus, she can’t actually enjoy Penelope’s affection and presence. Penelope’s began to notice this more and more.
