She is a member of the Crimean Royal Knights, and a former member of Begnion's noble House Damiel. Astrid was engaged to Duke Lekain of Gaddos, a sinister man and the main antagonist of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, against her wishes. In order to avoid being put through such misery, she left home to seek her fortunes elsewhere. In Path of Radiance, she is also able to befriend Sothe, Gatrie or Makalov via supports, the latter of whom she is infamous for giving undeserved praise in Radiant Dawn.
