Star Poplarsong

== Star Poplarsong ==
Younger sister of Elmar Poplarsong, Star is a younger tinkerer and inventor, apprenticed to an unknown veteran of Shimmerhand Association to help her harness her magical abilities into her creations. She's proficient in just about any and all tools of an artificer, and specializes magical item crafting, with minor focuses of firearm design and blacksmithing. It is unknown if Star is her real name as that is just what Elmar always called her to the press.
==== Early Life ====
Star grew up in Rotentor, and had more siblings than just Elmar, siblings which both very rarely speak of. She did very well in school, always being near or at the top of her classes for math and science, while being more than proficient with imperial and history. When she was around 10 years old, she ran away from home with Elmar and his girlfriend, Melody, after Elmar and their father got into an argument over Elmar's pursuit of music. 
==== Music ====
Star, before becoming an artificer, tried her hand at music, and was even credited by Elmar for a few of his melodies, and helped him make a rift which they would call The Storm Rift. She played the lyre and modified hers to have a higher and lower string, increasing the range of it significantly. She also help developed a system for Elmar to compose music down on paper so he could remember it for later, calling it Star Sheet Music. As she got older into her teen years, she began to help as stage crew while Elmar played, helping with lights, illusions, sounds, and anything else to enhance the show. This is where she began to drift away from music and more into tinkering and invention. She made a magical light which Elmar could put onto his viola which could light up a certain color in a certain way depending on the note being played.
==== Apprenticeship ====
At age 16, Star officially wished to pursuit invention, and Elmar paid an unknown veteran mage of The Shimmerhand Association to help teach Star how to channel her magic. The two's whereabouts are currently unknown, except to Elmar and Melody. For awhile, the two were in Rotentor, simply staying close to home and working from there, before they went to Badenbach so Star could learn more of magic and how to harness it. They left the city far before the Siege of Badenbach to an unknown location, though some reports suggest they may be in Rittersdamm.
It is also believed that Star was the one who infused magic into the wedding rings of Elmar and Melody, allowing the two to find each other even if they're separated far from each other. She also helped with the design, coming up with the idea of the musical references, and then helping to metalwork the rings. She was there the night Elmar proposed, and shortly after began her apprenticeship, marking the first time in her life without constantly being close to her big brother. It is believed the two still often communicate via letters, though.
