Day 30: Dawn (Trail) "My time in Tural is slowly coming to an end... but what an adventure it was." And with that, another month of Au Ra April has been completed! :D #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Au Ra April (2025)
by @3dsknight.bsky.social
AuRa April Post from 2025
Day 29: Promise "I don't know what the future will have in store for me nor how difficult it'll be. But that won't stop me from fulfilling the promises I've made." #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 28: Festival "Hey you made it! I was worried something happened but I guess I worry too much. Anyways, come on! Lets go have some fun!" #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 27: Heartbreak "To be alone... I forgot how awful this feeling is." The last time Astra was on her own was when she arrived in Eorzea. To be in that same position again... brings back a feeling she wishes to never experience again. #AstralTide #AuRaApril
Day 26: Free Day She t chowing down on that bucket. Just hope Alpha isn't around to see it #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 25: End (Walker) "So this is what the world looks like... I wonder what I did?" #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 24: Knowledge #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 23: Darkness You never know what can be hiding within it... #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 22: Sin This one was a bit of a hard one since Astra has never really done anything sinful in that way. The only thing that comes to mind that I think would be a sin was during the royal menagerie where she was really going in to end Zenos #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 21: Light "Ahh... the light over here is so blinding...!" #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 20: Shadow (Bringers) "Have I...been here before...?" SHB was where Astra struggled the most. With all the light contained inside her, she could barely stand or think. Yet despite that, She feels like she has been here before. #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 19: Rebellion "I'm so sorry... *but the surface calls.*" Because leaving the Ruby Sea would mean being banished. Astra, with a heavy heart knew she had to do this. The day she left, she cast repose on the guards before leaving to Kugane. #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 18: Touch Returning home after being away for so long. Astra worried about what would transpire by her sudden return, especially from her parents All it took was a single hug from them to discard any and all worries and let out the waterworks #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 17: Sci-Fi Something shrimple #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 16: Free Day "Flames, gather around my blade!" #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 15: Storm (blood) "Its finally...over..." The expansion to push Astra the most. Learning to become a samurai as well as learn about her lineage. Someone who she often prays to when the going gets tough. She's a descendant of the Sea Maiden. #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 14: Twilight TwIlight is probably my favorite time of day. Something about it invokes a strange sense of comfort #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 13: Crystal #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 12: Idol "Let me hear your voices~" #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 11: Rain "While rain can be harsh, there are some days where you'd just want to go out and dance in it" #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 10: Heavens (Ward) Exploring was something Astra enjoy, despite how scary it can be sometimes. With everything that transpired after the banquet however. Astra only felt dread and fear when coming into Ishgard. #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 9: Melancholy "Rain can be comforting. But there are some days where it feels much harsher" #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 8: Stars Beneath the sea of stars lies one in Etheirys #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 7: Blade "Through this blade, passed down from my mother. I'll use it to protect those I care for." Astra's mother (Aki) passed her blade down to Astra post-endwalker. The journey she went on more than enough proven that she was ready to wield it. #AstralTide #AuRaApril #LoreStra
Day 6: Free Day! Sipping some tea in the morning~ #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 5: Realm (Reborn) "This place is so big... feels like one wrong turn and I'll be lost." Astra came to Eorzea by stowing away on a ship which eventually lead her to Gridania. To the locals, this is nothing new. To Astra, her entire world has expanded #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 4: Blossom Another simple one! Nothing like relaxing under a cherry tree! #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 3: Portrait Wanted to go with something simple with this one! I like to think her mothers took this one of her and has it on a small portrait back home 🥹 #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 2: Horns "My horns? I got them from Mom's side!" Astra horns are from one of her mom's (Koharu) and she adores them! Even if she sometimes get mistaken as a fish. #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
Day 1: Introduction "Hello there! I'm Astra. Astra Kawanami!" Its that time again! 2nd time I'm doing Au Ra April and I can't wait to do them all! As such, this is Astra Kawanami! An Au Ra who left home to explore the world beyond the surface! #AstralTide #AuRaApril2026
#AuRaApril Day 30 - Free Day (Conclusion) "And thus, our journey has come to a close! I hope you enjoyed learning more about myself!" And I hope everyone enjoyed both the gposes and extra lore about Astra! This was really fun to do and I'm glad to have take part of it! #AstralTide
#AuRaApril Day 29 - Element "Just like water. I can be gentle or just as rough." Even though White Mage is all elements, the Sui-No-Sato is different in being that it's all water-based in both healing and attacking #AstralTide #LoreStra
#AuRaApril Day 28 - City "Kugane... a sight that never gets old." When she left for Eorzea, Astra stopped by Kugane since that's where the boat dock at. Though she was in a hurry at the time, she was enamored by its sights. #AstralTide #LoreStra
#AuRaApril Day 27 - Gemstones "Sapphire is a beautiful gem..." Nothing more to say other than out of all the kinds of gemstones, I think Astra would like Sapphire the most cause it reminds her of herself. #AstralTide #LoreStra
#AuRaApril Day 26 - Legacy "With this cane and katana, both from my two mothers' families line, I'll carry on both their legacy" "And this crystal. It belonged to me once... or what I was before. Even if we haven't met, I'll carry her legacy alongside. For the world we love" #AstralTide #LoreStra
#AuRaApril Day 25 - Celestial "*I'd like to name her...Astra.* "*Astra... It has a nice ring to it. What made you choose the name?*" "*Because in a sea of stars, there will always be one that shine the brightest. Our little Astra.*" #AstralTide #LoreStra
#AuRaApril Day 24 - Deity "Oh Sea Maiden...give me strength..." When she was young, she would praise to the Sea Maiden to give her some strength for that day. Knowing who she is as well as being next in line, she still pray to her out of habit. #AstralTide #LoreStra
#AuRaApril Day 23 - Tail "Its nice to look at... Just don't grab it!" Astra hates having her tail grabbed cause it ends up paralyzing her...which was what a lot of the kids in the Sui-No-Sato do. In battle, she does her best to make sure her tail is out of reach. #AstralTide #LoreStra
#AuRaApril Day 22 - Flowers No lore on this one, just a simple gpose. #AstralTide
