Hi there!

A sentient Star Sapphire Ring. What could go wrong?

Early in the campaign, the party fought a Star Sapphire who ended up getting killed by The Spectre. Her ring survived and came back to Z'onn Z'orr with us. It started off as cheery and happy to be included in our group. We promised we'd take her places with her and allow her to scan for a suitable person for her to bond with and turn someone into a Star Sapphire. She charmingly mispronounced names and bonded with Patch, quickly developing a love of playing hide and seek with the little rat.

In our travels so far, the best match we found is Wonder Woman. ...but an equated Wonder Woman. What would happen if we let Starsa bond with her? Would it break the equation and free Wonder Woman in addition to making her a Star Sapphire? Or would we take one of the most dangerous equated in the world and give them even more power? We're not sure and don't want to find out the hard way and are waiting and hoping that we find another suitable host that doesn't come with all that baggage attached to it.

But in the course of our travels and our scans, we learned that Starsa was dying. Her battery was depleting and she had no way to recharge here on Earth without a host. We would need to find a way to space, to return her to the Star Sapphire planet and get her a new battery, essentially. Even in the face of impending death, Starsa tended to stay cheery and optimistic, even more so when we recharged her energy briefly by setting up a meeting with the long deceased Juliet Capulet, who was destined to be Starsa's host before she died.

The party made it to space and after a brief detour being arrested by Green Lanterns and having to attain their own ship, a party took her to her home planet and recharged her, saving her life. But there's been some differences in Starsa since then. The Star Sapphires are... unsettling. Their view on love are simplistic and they won't listen to any other perspectives. And Starsa, being a Star Sapphire Ring, fully buys into their perspective. The party isn't sure about how closely to ally with Starsa's people. Starsa doesn't seem fully aware of the hesitance yet, but she's picked up on some of it and she's confused. Where does her loyalty lie? With Carol and the rest of the Star Sapphires or with the people who saved her life and have bonded with her?

There's also been some talk about the possibility that Starsa herself might be a potential host for a Star Sapphire Ring. I think this idea is fascinating, but Starsa is fully opposed to it. She doesn't want to elevate herself above other Star Sapphire Rings. The one time this topic was approached, she shut it down, but part of me hopes that it gets brought up again. The idea of a ring being a ring wielder... I would love to see what could come from that.

Hint for #30: A character that has been guessed for previous hints more than once.
