Age: 20
Bio:
Selestra was born and raised in a family of travelling musicians who moved from town to town, entertaining the crowds for whatever they would pay them. However, it all changed for her one night when her family stopped their caravan on a path through some woods. A bunch of bandits attacked without warning, catching them completely off guard. Although the bandits only intended to rob them, the lives of her parents were not spared. Selestra would have been killed as well, if she had not managed to escape on time. The then teenage girl was left to wander by herself, using the skills she had learned to get by. She continued to stick to her performances, though, she would at times resort to betting games and petty scams to get her hands on some extra coin.
Eventually stumbling upon the little colony, she decided to stay in the cozy settlement and get acquainted with the people there. Many adored her and enjoyed her performances, though, there were still some who mistrusted the outwardly-charming and charismatic young woman, seeing that she could at times be rather devious. After the event involving the mysterious melody and the disappearances of several of the town's inhabitants, those who disliked Selestra began spreading rumors that she somehow had something to do with the tragic occurrence. Unfortunately for her, this was believable because of the abilities she possessed. Wanting to prove her innocence, she set out to discover the person, or people, who were truly responsible for what had happened.
