Castor Smythe
Astraea was extremely close to her father, as her main caretaker and primary parent. Shortly after she was born, Astraea was left on the doorstep of the Smythe household, with Castor learning he was a father.

Even though he was a scientist for Altea, he made sure to have time with Astraea and tried not to leave her long periods of time with his older brother, Coran. Astraea learned much about Altean technology from him and later, the Voltron Lions, as he helped design them. Even though her father helped design them, Astraea has no desire to ever fly one. Castor affectionately called her Astra. When Castor died giving up his life to make sure Astraea could make it to the Castle of Lions, she was heartbroken. Waking up 10,000 years later and remembering her father giving up his life for her, caused her to cry for many nights.

When she marries Keith, and they have a son, she names him after her father.

Coran Smythe
Coran is Astraea's paternal uncle, her father's elder brother, and her legal guardian.

Growing up, while her father was working, Astraea was often left in the care of her Uncle Coran. Their relationship is more of a father-daughter one than uncle-niece, which Castor is fine with. Astraea loves her uncle very much, even though she finds his overdramatic displays a bit strange and sometimes annoying, she still loves him dearly. Coran helped Astraea get through her first nights in the Castle of Lions after waking up 10,000 years later, and remembering her father risking his own life to make sure she made it. Astraea goes to him for advice, especially when she starts developing feelings for Keith.

Mother
Astraea is unaware of anything involving her mother. She was left on the doorstep of the house Castor and Coran were sharing when she was a few days old.

Nyx
Nyx is Astraea's pet feline who she got as a gift from her father for her birthday, which was months before Zarkon first attacked. Nyx means everything to her as she is the last thing she got from her father. Nyx usually resides with Astraea riding on her shoulders, though she does enjoy chasing the Space Mice.

Future children
A couple of years after helping the Blade of Mamora, Astraea goes to marry Keith, and together they have three children: Stella Allura, Calypso Cathrine, and Castor Korane.

Keith
Keith was the first one Astraea saw after falling out of the cryo-pod. Since meeting him, something about Keith drew Astraea to him. His stubborn attitude? Or just personality, Astraea wasn't sure. Until she could figure it out herself, she just formed a bond with Keith. They were able to bond because of both lost parents. They also bonded with their swords and could train together.

[More Coming Soon]

With the end of Honvera, and Allura's sacrifice, and the revival of New Altea, rather than stay with her Uncle, Astraea opted to join Keith with the Blade and help them. Eventually, she married Keith.

Zuri
Prior to the destruction of Altea and the war between herself and Daibazaal, Astraea was best friends with a teenage Galra, named Zuri. The two did everything together, whenever she wasn't with her Uncle or Allura. Zuri even gave Nyx to Astraea as a gift.

When the war between Altea and Daibazaal began, Zuri stood against her former king, finding him insane and crazy. She was one of the few Galra to stay with the Alteans.

Zuri would later sacrifice herself to make sure Astraea made it to the Castle of Lions. Astraea kept her memory of Zuri close to her.

When Allura starts talking about how all Galra is evil, Astraea snaps asking if Zuri was evil then. Astraea then reveals to the new Paladins that Zuri was her best friend and was a Galra, one of the few that stayed sided with the Alteans.

Princess Allura
Allura is Astraea's childhood friend. With her Uncle being the Royal Adviser and often taking care of Astraea, with Castor being busy, the two girls formed a strong friendship. Astraea wouldn't count Allura as her best friend, but a close friend nevertheless. Astraea doesn't treat Allura differently and doesn't bother with her title half the time.

Their friendship hits a snag during and after the time Ulaz sneaks onto their Ship, and after when she begins neglecting Keith due to his half-Galra heritage. Astraea finds it stupid and annoying to the point she refuses to even speak to Allura. It was only after Allura apologized to Keith due their friendship return to somewhat normal

Their friendship hit another rift when Lotor allied himself with Voltron. Something set Astraea off and she didn't like it, so she remained away from Lotor as much as she could. Allura tried to talk to Astraea, but Astraea wouldn't talk more about it. Only after Lotor's true intentions were revealed did they actually speak again and on better terms.

When Allura sacrificed herself, Astraea was upset, since she was her childhood friend. Despite her friend being gone, Astraea pushed through but does remember her friend fondly. In fact, she names her firstborn daughter after Allura: Stella Allura Kogane.

Hunk
Astraea forms a friendship with Hunk, especially regarding his and Pidge's ideas involving Earth technology. She also enjoys spending time in the kitchen learning how to cook and trying new things (it does get tiring eating Space Gloop for a while).

Lance
Astraea was put off by Lance mostly due to his flirting, and not knowing what he was doing. They eventually became friends but not buddy-buddy. Their friendship strengthens when Lotor "joins" the team and both are unsure about him. They end up forming a brother-sister bond, one that Astraea did wish she had with her brother, and look after one another. With Allura's Sacrifice, Astraea does what she can to help Lance, even if he never moves on, she wants him to be happy.

Katie "Pidge" Holt
As the youngest of the team, Astraea and Pidge quickly became friends. Astraea grew interested in humans and also in Pidge and their knowledge of Earth technology. They often spent time just talking about the differences between Altean and Earth technology and try to figure out a way to join the two. She and Pidge also shared a moment with losing their family, though, in Pidge's case, they were just missing, but Astraea understood and tried to help her find them. Another thing that had them get closer, was that neither were into dresses and things that Allura liked.

Their friendship did become distant when Lotor joined the team since she was on the side that maybe Lotor did change. They made up after learning the truth about Lotor and both told each other to forget about the past and move forward.

Takashi "Shiro" Shirogane
Astraea looks up to Shiro as an older brother and sees him as the Leader of Voltron. She cares about him and does worry when ends up waking up from nightmares. Astraea is working on something that could help him sleep a little better.

Acxa
At their first meeting, Astraea wasn't too sure, mostly because she was allied with Lotor. The two mostly stayed away from each other.

Following Acxa's changing sides, Astraea saw her as an alley. She often worked with Acxa and helping her with various things. She later helped the Galra hybrid confess her feelings to Veronica.

Blade of Marmora
Astraea doesn't judge someone based on their species. As such she is more open to the Blade, and more willing to work with them. She has come to terms that not all Galra are bad, only those aligned with Zarkon. Astraea admires their skill and combat fighting and is very impressed that they were able to remain hidden from Zarkon for years.

She gets a little closer to the Blade following her and Keith dating since they are kinda like his third family. Even though they did make Keith fight, Astraea got over it since she learned why Keith had his knife and he had wanted answers.

Following the end of Honerva and the sacrifice of Allura, Astraea joined the Blades and helped them help.

Resistance
With the alliance with the Resistance, Astraea helped out however she could. Be it delivering supplies or healing them.

Zarkon and the Galra Empire
Astraea holds a great hatred towards Zarkon and the Galra Empire for the destruction of her home planet and the death of her parents. She understands that not all Galra are evil, just the ones that align themselves with Zarkon.

Lotor
Following Lotor coming out as a new threat to her and the Paladins, Astraea treated him like any other enemy. When he intervened at the battle for Naxzela, allowing the Voltron Coalition to win and saving Keith's life, Astraea was thankful for him doing that, she continued to remain skeptical about him. She refused to do anything with him, even though Allura's growing trust in him.
