Aces Micro-Site Description

Idolized by musicians the world over, Starlet has ushered in a new generation of song and sound in Erinn. Though she may seem shy and waifish upon meeting her for the first time, when Starlet takes the stage her performances are pure magic. But can her music truly change the world, and what effect will her power to inspire have on Erinn and the Aces? Erinn is a world full of music, but never before has an individual been able to channel voice into pure, unbridled power. Starlet's arrival spurred a cultural explosion, and she sings in the hopes that her music can inspire all Milletians.

However, off the stage she has the innocence and naivety of a child, and would be in a tough spot without the support of her fellow Aces. There's no denying she's destined for the spotlight, but with so many eyes on her, she needs friends to watch her back. Unwinding is an important part of preparing for the next performance, but without someone to carefully manage her lifestyle, does Starlet risk completely falling apart?^[1]

Description

Whisper soft eyes peer out from under a mane of artfully messy black locks. Her posture, her demeanor, her outfit; all speak to a bottomless well of charisma. And when she hums, you feel like you could take on the world.

A highly skilled musician and part of the Aces. Her real name is unknown and simply goes by Starlet. She is widely praised for her Songs that come from her heart and soul as well as being the creator of the Fantastic Chorus, and many wish to hear her Encores. Starlet loves spreading joy and happiness throughout the world, but is also very naive and child-like, such as dancing under Cherry Blossom Trees as they sprinkle their leaves over her.

Merlin seems to be infatuated Starlet, and enjoys spending his time with and being noticed by her. Professor J admires Starlet's work, but feels that Merlin is bothering her too much. Starlet's opinion on her male companions is currently unknown, and appears to be oblivious to Merlin's infatuation.

Past

Mainstream Story

The Saga: Iria II (Spoilers)

Prologue - Aces

Starlet is entrusted by Berched to look after the Young Tarlach; Merlin only agrees to help after hearing her name.

Tarlach, upset with Merlin's arrogant personality, asks the Milletian to play with him. After they arrive, Starlet's gentle personality quells the issue when she promises to cook for the young child, however her poor cooking skills only worsen things as it puts Tarlach at unease. Starlet decides to try again only for Merlin to stop her, claiming that he does not want her to dirty her hands again and that they'd best let a professional chef handle things. Tarlach is left in Starlet's care as the Milletian and Merlin leave to find the chef. The plan eventually works and the group enjoys themselves to a feast.

Episode 1 - Merlin

Culinary Artist requests the group to deliver some ingredients to Glenis before flying off. The group then takes a walk to Dunbarton by cutting through Abb Neagh, where they find themselves forced to take shelter at the nearby Bard Camp after it begins it rain. Yvona reluctantly allows the group to stay and during camp, Starlet catches a cold. The group quickly push their way to Dunbarton once the night clears.

As they arrive at Dunbarton, Tarlach gets separated from the group only to wind up right next to Kristell. Due to Tarlach's wish to stay with the priestess, the group decides to do her errands. She then sends the Aces deliver donations to Emain Macha's cathedral while the Milletian delivers a package to Ascon.

When the Milletian reunites with the Aces, Merlin and J argue about losing the donations to Emain Macha's cathedral. James forgives them and asks them to help the people in Emain Macha. Afterwards, the group decides to play music at the stage, but Starlet refuses to play in the concert. Merlin, J, and the Milletian miserably fail as Starlet quietly looks on.

Episode 2 - The Missing

As Merlin and Professor J argue, Starlet reluctantly agrees to sing. J is concerned for her health, explaining to the Milletian that she formerly had a Border Collie pet that served as her bodyguard from people who tried to interfere with her concerts. One uneventful day resulted in the dog pushing her out of the way from a bomb, thus sacrificing itself, and since then Starlet has been afraid to perform. During the concert, Starlet loses her confidence. However, the Milletian manages to raise her confidence, further allowing her to perform again. The group raises more than enough money for the donations to the cathedral.

With everything finished in Emain Macha, Merlin and the Milletian head back to Dunbarton to pick up Young Tarlach after they lose to Starlet and J in rock-paper-scissors. Starlet and J then take their leave.

Trivia
