Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than everyone else here, and never, ever care about what anyone thinks. There are no friends in the long run. You’re on your own. So be on your own.
Astoria Vega Mortan (née Malfoy-Potter) (b. 13 December) is a half-blood witch of the Malfoy and Potter families, the eldest child born to the renowned Scorpius Malfoy and Lily Potter II. She is also the elder sister of Harry and Lattice, as well as the goddaughter of Pandora Thorn. She was named after her late paternal grandmother, Astoria Malfoy, who died many years prior to her birth. Being the eldest of her generation, her birth was the source of much attention from the media.

"Girls of your generation are graceless. It's an affront to nature. Mediocre witches will see you and feel themselves wilting in your shadow. Do not shrink to console them. Do not look for friends here. You won't find them. None of these people have the capacity to understand you. They never will. If you're lucky, one day when you're old and shriveled like me, you will find a young witch with little regard for anything but their craft. And you'll train them like I trained you. Until then, read a good book. You have greatness in you, Astoria. Don't disappoint."

"I'm terrified. Every time that you get on that train, every time that I owl you and you don't respond, my heart stops. But how am I supposed to protect the both of you when you go and spiral like this? And then you try and paint me to be the monster!"

Etymology[]
The name Astoria may be derived from the London Astoria, a music venue in London, England, or the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, a famously luxurious hotel in New York City. This hotel was named after the Astors, a very wealthy and influential American family. The name may also be related to Astraea, a daughter of Zeus in Greek mythology who personified justice, and the middle name of her daughter Wendy. Astraea is derived from Greek meaning "star-maiden". The name may also be spelled Asteria, as shown on the Weasley Family Tree. Like Hyperion — her father's middle name — Asteria is the name of one of the Titans of Greek mythology.
Vega is a Spanish feminine name, meaning "meadow" or "fertile plains". In Arabic it means "swooping eagle". Vega is also the fifth brightest star in the sky and the second brightest that can be seen in the northern hemisphere. It is a part of the constellation Lyra; in this way, both Astoria's first and middle name can be related to the Black family tradition of naming its members after stars and constellations.
The first part of her surname, Malfoy, in French (mal foi) means "bad faith."
Potter is a very common surname of English origin. It traditionally refers to the occupation of making pottery, the well-known English children's author Beatrix Potter, or Potter's Field: the name for a burial ground for the unknown or unclaimed dead, particularly soldiers and orphans; the Potter family had many members that fit that description.

Astoria: Expressing my opinion is not a terrorist action!
Astoria: You're either born simple, or you're born me.
Scorpius: Hello, Toria. Make anyone cry today? Astoria: Sadly, no, but it's only half past four.
Astoria: Oh, forget beautiful. I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain.
Astoria: Ah, the Yule Ball. Yet another classical antiquated mating ritual.
Astoria: Be a darling and fetch me some gin. Linus: Mother, it's breakfast. Astoria: Oh, and a piece of toast.
Astoria: This is occultism at its most ludicrous. Wendy: Mother! Astoria: But obviously I'm happy to be here.
Astoria: She thinks I'm too critical. That's another fault of hers.
Astoria: I don't want you hanging around with this little gang anymore. Linus: We're not a gang, mother, it's just a club. We're friends. Astoria: Club or not, Linus, I was educated alongside these children's parents, and I can assure you that they are far from your friends! The Thorns? Ruthless. The Jordans? Thugs. The Alders? Unstable. And I've never in all my years heard of a Damien Culvateur, but sweetheart, let me remind you of something: the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, especially not when there's a snake curled up in its limbs.
Astoria: By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.
Astoria: Many men remain spoiled boys that have never grown up. Women are prepared to raise them and take pain with patience, both as a contribution to supercilious compassion and as a proof of the eminence of their sense of worth. Learn from them.
