Asta is depicted as a hyperbolically sloppy and disorganized character. This trait is reflected in his appearance and behavior, forming the basis for his character's appearance and actions.[4] Asta fears that he does not live up to the expectations of others.[5] He believes that everyone either avoids him or ridicules him.[6] This causes him to be timid, fearful, and nervous. Although Asta is hardly withdrawn, he rarely appears in the company of students and prefers to be alone or with the teachers.

Aster is a diligent and friendly young man, capable of showing concern and sympathy[7], and also worrying about the safety of his acquaintances[8], despite his aloofness. When he is appointed to replace a departed professor, he does not try to be strict, displays loyalty, and does not prevent teenagers from leaving class. However, in reality, all this is just acting[9] and a manifestation of Aster's hypocrisy, because behind the feigned good nature lies his evil side. The graduate student admires idealized images of powerful magicians and warriors, but is far from ideal himself[10]. He strives to correct this by any means possible and finds a way out of the current situation in his own hatred of Dark fairy tales[11]. He decides to gain fame and recognition from others by inciting a conflict between the Light and Dark, during which he would be able to portray the Dark as dangerous and evil, and himself as a good hero and savior of the Light. To do this, the graduate student comes up with a special villainous plan that reveals the negative traits of his character.

As he puts his secret plan into action, Aster becomes a little more collected, serious, and confident.[9] He tries to act covertly and avoid revealing himself, not hesitating to use his image to the detriment of others.[12] He shamelessly steals other people's things, lies, and frames others. Although he initially tries to leave the dirty work to other characters, Aster begins to act independently.

Aster is a young man around 18 years old[3], standing 183 cm tall, with a slim build and dark skin. He has tousled white hair with pale blue bangs, an oval face covered in freckles, blue eyes hidden behind large, gold-rimmed glasses with clear lenses, dark, willow-shaped eyebrows overhanging them, short eyelashes, a small, curved nose, and thin, flesh-colored lips.

Aster wears a peach-colored shirt, over which he wears a dark blue vest with light blue buttons, two emerald-green pockets, and a pattern of yellow stars. A burgundy bow tie is pinned to the collar of the shirt, almost at the neck. He wears beige socks with purple stripes, brown buckled shoes, and pants with legs of different lengths and a red belt. Both legs are rolled up, their ends decorated with dark green inserts with yellow trim. Aster also wears a turquoise bead bracelet on his left wrist.

During his evil deeds, Aster dresses in a long gray coat with a high collar and a cosmic pattern on the lining, puts on a gray hat with a striped ribbon, ties a black business tie around his neck instead of a bow tie, straightens his pant legs, getting rid of the cuffs, and changes his shoes for shoes with burgundy laces.

When Asta absorbs the magical power of the crystal, he assumes his mage form. In this form, he wears clothing similar to the one he wears while stealing the scroll: a long, high-collared coat, a wide-brimmed wizard's hat with a striped ribbon and a curled tip, a shirt, a vest, and a formal tie. However, all of these garments lose their original dark tones and become white and violet, with purple accents and frills, and the coat gains a purple pattern depicting various fairytale characters. Asta's glasses and hairstyle also transform: the frames become pink, and his hair becomes violet. In this form, the graduate student
