Background
Heritage, Faith, and the Echoes of the Starsong
Elara Petite was born into a practical halfling family on Absalom Station, where many of her relatives lived and worked in the bustling district of Drifter’s End. Like most halflings, the Petites led simple, industrious lives—working as merchants, entertainers, artisans, and taking on whatever roles the station offered. Among the family, however, there was a shared musical aptitude—a gift they believed came from Desna, the Starsong herself.
The Petite family held tight to a quiet legend, passed down through generations. It was said that their lineage did not begin on Golarion, but in a distant, dread realm—a land of mists and shadows. According to family lore, their ancestor had been brought to Golarion by Desna herself, who had guided her to safety and blessed her descendants with a natural gift for music. The details of that journey were lost to the Gap, but the belief remained: their musical talents were a blessing from Desna.
For most of the Petites, music was a gift, something they did for joy, livelihood, or simply fun. But once in a while, a member of the family would be touched by something more—a pull they could not ignore, a feeling that their voice was meant for something greater. This was rare, but it was cherished when it happened, as it signaled that Desna herself was calling upon the chosen individual to follow a path that would take them beyond the ordinary, toward the stars.
Elara’s Early Life
Elara Petite, for most of her early life, seemed destined for a normal existence like the rest of her family. Growing up in the lively and crowded streets of Drifter’s End, she was a bright, talented girl with a natural gift for singing—something that came as no surprise to her family. She spent her days doing what most halflings in her community did: scraping by, working small jobs, and performing at local bars and nightclubs, singing to humble crowds who appreciated her warm, uplifting voice.
Though Elara had always felt a certain pull toward music, it wasn’t until her later years that she would feel the calling in full force. As a teenager, Elara would sing in various small venues, building a quiet reputation as a talented entertainer, but it was simply a way to make ends meet, not a life’s purpose. She lived a simple life, one rooted in practicality, community, and the love for music that her family had always fostered.
Everything changed when the Bloodfangs came into her life. A notorious gang that terrorized parts of Absalom Station, the Bloodfangs preyed on local businesses and exploited the people Elara cared about. The turning point came when a close family friend, who ran a small food stall near one of the venues where Elara sang, was viciously beaten for refusing to pay the gang’s protection fees. Elara, finding him broken and barely conscious on the street, felt a rage and helplessness unlike anything she had ever known.
In that moment, Elara felt the Echoes of the Starsong—a deep, almost overwhelming pull that resonated through her very soul. She realized that music wasn’t just something she loved, or even something she was good at. It was something more—it was her destiny, a divine calling passed down through her bloodline, something that could be used as a weapon to fight against injustice.
The Discovery of the Book
Elara felt compelled to follow the Echoes of the Starsong, and her journey led her to something extraordinary. While exploring a forgotten part of Absalom Station, deep in the underlevels, she stumbled upon an ancient, forgotten archive. Buried within the archives, she found an impossibly preserved digital record—a scan of an ancient, handwritten diary.
The diary belonged to someone named Dominique Petite, and as Elara began to read, her heart raced. Dominique, it turned out, was her ancestor, a halfling who had lived on Golarion before the Gap. The diary told of Dominique's escape from a world of mists and dread, and how she had been guided by Desna to Golarion, where she had used her voice to inspire hope and bring freedom to the oppressed—especially children. Dominique’s songs spoke of love, freedom, and the willingness to risk her life to protect others from the darkness.
The diary also recounted tales of the Bellflower Network, a secret Halfling underground on pre-Gap Golarion that worked to smuggle Halfling slaves out of Cheliax and guide them to freedom in Andoran. Dominique had been inspired by their work, seeing them as heroes who risked everything to bring hope to those in the darkest of circumstances.
As Elara read Dominique’s words, she felt a profound sense of connection to her ancestor and her mission. The Starsong had led her to this moment, and Elara knew now that she had to embrace her heritage and follow in Dominique’s footsteps, bringing hope, love, and freedom to those in need.
Becoming Dominique Starheart
With the knowledge of her ancestor’s legacy, Elara sought out the Starsingers, the secretive group of warriors who, like her ancestor, combined music and combat in service to Desna. Elara began her training, learning how to use her music as a weapon and a beacon of hope, honing both her voice and her fighting skills.
As she grew in power and confidence, Elara decided to honor her ancestor by taking the name Dominique Starheart, a tribute to the woman who had started it all.
Her first song, “Echoes Across the Stars,” was inspired by the diary, and it told the story of her ancestor’s journey from the Land of Mists to Golarion. The song became an instant hit, launching Dominique into super-stardom. She quickly became one of the most famous singers in the Pact Worlds, her voice reaching millions and spreading a message of hope and resilience.
The Bloodfangs and Dominique’s Rise to Power
As Dominique Starheart gained fame, she began to use her influence to fight back against the Bloodfangs. Inspired by her ancestor’s willingness to risk her life to bring hope and freedom, and by the tales of the Bellflower Network who freed Halfling slaves in Cheliax, Dominique set up her own Bellflower network of allies and spies. Her goal was to undermine the Bloodfangs from within, just as the Bellflower Network had worked in secret to bring freedom to the enslaved.
The Bloodfangs, seeing Dominique as just another celebrity, underestimated her power. But Dominique had the diary’s wisdom and the support of the Starsingers behind her. She used her network to gather information, outmaneuvering the gang at every turn. When the time was right, she led them into a trap that ended with their downfall.
With the Bloodfangs defeated, Dominique cemented her legacy—not just as a galactic Icon, but as a protector of the people, someone who would fight for justice using both her voice and her strength.
Current Picture
Today, Dominique Starheart is known throughout the Pact Worlds as a musical Icon, but to those who know her true story, she is much more—a Starsinger, a beacon of hope who fights in the shadows, following the Echoes of the Starsong that have guided her family for generations.
