Nia Songbird

About

Starlight etches itself into every sketch in Nia's wilderness journal, her delicate fairy hands mapping celestial patterns with an obsessive precision that betrays her wild elven heart. Where most see random constellations, she perceives intricate stories written across the night sky, each drawn line a whispered secret waiting to be decoded.

Backstory

Three drops of starlight fell from Nia's fingertips the night her mother died—not tears, but actual celestial essence that had somehow crystallized in her grief. Elara Moonshadow, the village's most gifted astronomer, had been teaching Nia to weave constellations into physical form when a cosmic anomaly tore through their observatory, claiming her life but awakening something extraordinary in her daughter. The star maps Elara left behind weren't mere charts but living documents that shifted and breathed, revealing that Nia's missing father Orion hadn't abandoned them—he had been pulled into the space between stars, trapped in the very melodies he once sang. Now sixteen and able to touch starlight itself, Nia uses her art not just to map the heavens but to forge a bridge between worlds, humming the ancient songs that might one day guide her father home while the trees around her pulse with the rhythm of distant suns.
