1, 2, 3 and 14!!
1. Astrid’s home stable is currently Moorland Stables. She likes it because of the relatively calm atmosphere, the fact that it’s in between Silverglade Village and Steves, and the nature surrounding the stable.
2. Astrid actually lives in Mistfall, but visits Moorland every day. She lives in Mistfall in order to get to her job as a Jorvik Ranger quickly.
3. Astrid’s favorite person is Linda. Astrid and Linda both adore Canterella and Knights of Unistria, and frequently have detailed discussions about the latest fanfics they’ve written or read, or any cool cosplays they’re planning. They also talk about druid stuff sometimes, but that’s rare.
14. Astrid makes her money by working as a Jorvik Ranger. She leads trail rides, clears the trails with Keema, and generally does anything that needs to be done in Mistfall.

Now, with the power of multiple accounts and a decrepit ten year old laptop that just won’t quit, Aspen and Stormsong can finally fist-bump as the lord intended

spoilers below the cut for catherine’s memories
so i was both happy and a little underwhelmed by the ending. I did like that justin came along for the last memory, because it added a nice touch into the narrative. i’m probably going to make a full length post soon elaborating, but I thought the conclusion of this story was beautiful, with some story elements a touch out of left field.
however, I do have an issue with one thing. i didn’t like the whole “everyone’s special and can conduct Aideen” angle they went for. The message is great out of game, but game-wise, it seems odd. @writingonjorvik made a good point, in that this reveal takes away the mc’s uniqueness amongst NPCs. there isn’t really a reason why we are the mc, since NPC’s can also accomplish what we can. like, i think this angle would work in a medium(movie, TV) that wasn’t so interactive, but i digress.
i do think that catherine has a limited understanding of Aideen, however. in the southern harvest counties memory, we see Evergray perform magic to draw out Aideen. this doesn’t work, and we see Catherine’s horse Nemo disappear into the light of Aideen, breaking their bond. It seems to be implied that Catherine also went too close, as she disappeared briefly. since Aideen had the bond between horse and rider, and Catherine lost that, I think her understanding of Aideen shattered. Since she got too close to both light and darkness, she only sees the parts of Aideen, not herself as Aideen. this is also sort of based on @writingonjorvik‘s post about Aideen’s gift, as I liked Amelia’s thoughts on catherine’s incomplete understanding of Aideen. I highly recommend you read the post, which I will link at the end.
overall, I thought the ending was great. I did like the implication at the end that the previous incarnations of Aideen are all in the light of Aideen, along with catherine. I still have some questions, but overall, I thought the ending fit.
