asta is a woman who is very skinny because she is poor, the worst part is that the villagers had shunned her even when she had died. :) <3
Crispin was called Asta's Son. He was called this because he had no father. In the beginning Asta, ( Crispin's mother) dies. So he had no mother or father. Which brought him to the conclusion that he was a nobody. Note: Asta is pronounced like aster. And Crispin is pronounced like Crisp-in. Think "crisp" and then "in" .
Crispin's father is known as "Asta's Son." His father's true identity is revealed later in the book as Lord Furnival.
