**Stellaluna Silverleaf** is a drow performer, rogue, and mage as well as the twin sister of Solaris Silverleaf.

## Early Life

Solaris and Stellaluna were born in 475 AC to Luxanna Silverleaf. A few months prior to their birth, Luxanna and her husband Noctaris were traveling near the Faewood when they were attacked by Kithvoni slavers. Noctaris was injured, while Luxanna was taken captive and sold to a human family.

Seven months pregnant and intending to flee back to the Faewood, Luxanna escaped. However, the twins came earlier than she anticipated. Knowing that she would be recaptured and that her captors would look for one child, but not for two, Luxanna hid Stellaluna in a basket on a riverbank, and Luxanna and Solaris were recaptured.

Stellaluna was then found by a pair of human performers, Diego and Durkheim. The two men, part of a traveling circus group, adopted her. They took her name from a locket that she bore, and adopted her elven surname themselves to pay homage to their daughter's heritage.

Raised by two fathers, with all of the other children of the circus as her siblings, Stellaluna had an unconventional but happy childhood. Each of the circus members had suffered their own difficulties and misfortunes, but had come together as a strange sort of family - one where an orphaned drow girl could feel at home. Nevertheless, Stellaluna had a growing sense of curiosity about the outside world.

One night in a new town, riots erupted, forcing the circus to leave in a hurry. Unfortunately, they left without Diego and Durkheim, who had been caught up in the chaos while trying to protect some of the townsfolk. While the two were presumed dead, Stellaluna believed in her heart that they were still alive, but didn't know how to even begin looking for them. Instead, she decided to leave the circus, no longer anchored to it by her fathers. Following her sense of curiosity and adventure, she bid farewell to her best friend and her circus family in the city of Seaspire Keep.

In Seaspire Keep, Stellaluna waited tables and performed in a tavern, but found that her new companions were not as willing to accept a drow among them as the circus had been. She was drawn next to the Mayakara college, where she worked for a time to hone the magical skills that Diego had taught her. While she enjoyed magic, she found the academic setting stifling, and eventually set off again. Her path now led her southwest, to the Falkenried province and the borderlands of Suldura, a part of the country she had never explored. While taverns and inns to perform in were more scattered in this land, her sense of adventure drove her forward in search of new friends and new possibilities.

## Birchfield and Saltshore

While traveling to Birchfield, a town where she hoped to see a crate of Kithvoni spices she had won in a card game, Stellaluna met a new motley assortment of companions - the elven bard Liluth, the half orcs Kaersk and Zarine, and the dragonborn blacksmith Nylax. Quickly feeling at home in this strange mix of people, Stellaluna agreed to travel with them to Birchfield, where they were bringing Mayor Hester Ormond for trial by Baron Lokar. On the way, they joined forces with two more companions: the tiefling smuggler Fate and the faerie dragon Peila.

In Birchfield, the group held off on the decision of whether to turn Ormond over to the baron, unsure if they agreed with the form of justice that the baron doled out. In the interim, they decided to join forces with Fate to help her carry out a job for Fate's contact, Naomi Starling: breaking three of Naomi's lieutenants out of the baron's dungeons. During the course of this mission, Naomi's lieutenant and lover Quinn LeMarque was captured by the Consortium of Shadows, and the three women agreed to take on a new job for Naomi, infiltrating the Consortium and freeing Quinn. Nylax continued with them, while Zarine and Kaersk returned to Cairnhold.

Stellaluna and her companions then traveled to Saltshore, where they parted ways with Nylax and began to travel with a drow mercenary who identified himself as Laris Didymus. The four sailed to Deep Harbor aboard the Fiend's Daughter and carried out a brief mission for the tiefling ship's captain Song.

In Deep Harbor, the mercenary Laris revealed himself to be Solaris Silverleaf, Stellaluna's long-lost twin brother. Reunited, the two twins chose to continue to travel with the party.

## Barovia

Stellaluna and her companions learned that in order to join the Consortium, they must carry out a mission in Barovia. Along with the kenku child Daisy, the four entered the mysterious land of Barovia on a mission to deliver a letter to Burgomaster Kolyan Indirovich. Once in Barovia, however, the party accepted a different quest: to keep the now-deceased burgomaster's daughter Ireena Kolyana out of the clutches of the vampire Strahd von Zarovich.

After contending with the hags of Old Bonegrinder, Fate, Lilluth, and Stellaluna dined with Strahd at Castle Ravenloft, where Stellaluna rebuked Strahd for allowing his people to suffer. With the help of the wereravens Dagmara and Fyodor Martikov, they then fled the castle and escorted Ireena to the town of Vallaki. Betrayed by their supposed ally Vasili von Holz, they realized that Vallaki was not safe, and so continued on, traveling to Krezk, the Abbey of St. Markovia, the Wizard of Wines Winery, Yester Hill, Berez, and the Amber Temple.
