Astra is Boudica (or vice versa)!

[JH]

According to Wikipedia:

'Tacitus and Dio agree that Boudica was of royal descent. Dio says that she was "possessed of greater intelligence than often belongs to women", that she was tall, had long red hair down to her hips, a harsh voice and a piercing glare, and habitually wore a large golden necklace (perhaps a torc), a many-coloured tunic, and a thick cloak fastened by a brooch.'

[Hi! My name is Ib!]

Our own Astra is thrice the woman this 'Boudica' was or is.

Our Astra is a woman among women.

I can honestly admit I could not handle her.
