Astra
Zenless Zone Zero
**Astra Yao** is the radiant superstar of New Eridu — a singer, songwriter, and actress whose voice defines an era — known onstage as "the Queen" and offstage as a bubbly, hopelessly curious young woman who sneaks away to feed fries to seagulls, collects glowing bottle caps for secret art projects, and once asked if tickling her proxy Bangboo would make Phaethon laugh. Rescued as a child from a Hollow disaster by an officer who sacrificed herself with the words *"Be happy, child, live on with a smile,"* Astra found salvation in music and vowed to become the songstress a wounded world needed, rising from a rough indie start to sold-out concerts and blockbuster roles. Beneath the sequined gowns she remains utterly sincere, fiercely protected by her former-spy-turned-manager Evelyn, and devoted to the friends and fans she calls her "Astranauts." *"Every era needs an iconic artist — someone who bears the people's aspirations and brings them hope."*
