Aster Saddler (Carpe Diem)

Aster Saddler is used by me - Muggleborn-Phoenix - in my Fanfiction story: Carpe Diem.

Aster Saddler was the mother of Rosie Saddler and grandmother of Anastasia and Rue Saddler, she is a former High Priestess of the Old Religion, and an Elder. She was residing in Camelot.

She took on the responsibility of looking after her granddaughters' after the death of her daughter by the hands of her king's soldiers, and tried to help them adjust to their new life in a new kingdom. Even though she knew many people within Camelot still practiced Magic, Aster did her best to keep both Anastasia and Rue away from it. Soon, she got suspicious of Ana's behaviour, and when Ana revealed that she knew of her true reason to be in Camelot, Aster wasn't really surprised.

After the return of her granddaughters' father, Jake Blackford. Aster tried to use an old family crystal to strip him of his powers, unfortunately Jake's dark magic was stronger than Aster had anticipated and he cast a curse over her. While under his control Aster very nearly convinced Ana that using her dark magic was for the best of both Camelot and Arthur's survival. She was foiled by Merlin and Thomas.

Aster was a member of the Saddler Family.

Notes and Trivia

 * The origin of the name 'Aster' is English and the meaning is Star.
 * Aster is an Elder.
