Template:Infobox Character

Astarte (アスタルテ, Asutarute) was a homunculus servant of Rudolf Eustach until Kojou and Yukina defeated him. Since then she has been sentenced to 3 years probation and is currently entrusted to Natsuki.

Appearance

Astarte F 2

Astarte has blue eyes and blue hair. Because she is a homunculus, her face is expressionless most of the time. She is shown wearing a white cloth in the first arc. In the second arc she starts wearing a maid outfit.

Personality

Because Astarte is a homunculus, she expresses little, to no emotion and has no particular likes or dislikes. She is not talkative and always says "Accept" in a dull, robotic tone whenever her master commands her. In the anime, after Astarte was under the supervision of Natsuki, she gradually displayed emotions with her interactions with the other characters. In Volume 8 of the LN, she is showing indication of independent thought and emotion.

History

Abilities

Rhododactylos Unlike other homunculus, Astarte has a familiar named "Rhododactylos". At its first appearance, it appears at the back of Astarte as two arms. The arms of Rhododactylos can absorb magic from other familiars to increase its power and provide Astarte supernatural strength. At the second fight of Rudolf and Himeragi, it is shown as a white humanoid-like familiar having Astarte inside a green orb in its chest. It is also capable of using divine vibrations to negate magic and it also gives Astarte supernatural durability. Rhododactylos
