Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: Her replacement costume for Aria does makes sense, as standing out would definitely help Aria's game. Aria privately admits that Astra has a point.
-->'''Astra:''' I only did it to help you. Your hero costume is supposed to enhance your Quirk, not hide it... Your Quirk isn't supposed to blend into the background, sweetie. The costume you designed made me think you didn't want ''anyone'' looking at you, but you know as well as I do that that's impossible. The very nature of your Quirk ''demands'' attention, so I worked with that angle instead.\\
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A different version from her daughter, at least. While Astra may seem insensitive and neglectful, she at least does care for her daughter. Not that it excuses her actions, of course.
* LadyDrunk: Sorta. She definitely has the class and alcohol to go along with the trope.
