Shally as a Sandpoint Cathedral initiate:

Originally a refugee from an Ulfen clan that found itself on the wrong side of the Witchwars, Shally found her way to Sandpoint over 12 years ago to study as an initiate of Sarenrae. After completing her training, she decided to engage in active ministry by spreading the Mother of Fire's warmth by adventuring. Thus began a career in the Pathfinder Society that included journeys to elemental planes. Later in her career she served as the Chief Priestess of a small duchy on the Stolen Lands, helping to reestablish holdings on the frontier for the Kingdom of Brevoy. If her family had remained in Ulfen lands, she'd have probably become a Druid or Winter Witch - the fact that she's one of the preeminent priestesses of Sarenrae in the entire Inner Sea region hasn't escaped some wags in Absalom.

Having received word from her old friends and mentors at the Cathedral of Sandpoint, she's rapidly made her way back to where she first became a Cleric. Terrible tidings and darknesses afflict Sandpoint, and the purifying flame of the Angel Mother is needed.

Shally herself is called by some in the church "The Dancing Saint", as she has brought the Fire Dance back from the Empire of Kelesh and has spread Sarenrite Fire Dancing and Dervish practices throughout the Church in the Inner Sea. She's also well known in the Silver Crusade faction within the Pathfinder Society.

Despite her harrowing adventures and accomplishments, Priestess Valestar has no interest in church politics, except to say that slavery is anathema to the Goddess and a sin against her will. This rankles some Keleshite clergy but none have dared move against one of the most powerful Clerics of Sarenrae in a generation.

Shally appears to be a cheerful, attractive red head in her early 20s (although she is a bit older.) While favoring red, white and gold, she dresses in practical adventure fashion, and looks no different from a wandering Sarenrite healer. What coin she gets from adventuring that isn't used for gear gets plowed back into communities she visits.  "The Angel Mother's creed is not always physically confronting evil - it's doing good." She is humble and kind, and defers to Clerics who are older or more experienced in terms of years, even if she is more powerful than them.

Valestar is also a battle hardened, experience adventuring Cleric. An Ecclesitheurge who can mount up fire spells on par with the best sorcerers, she identifies the leader in an adventuring group and defers to them, staying in the back lines and either using fire spells offensively or providing healing support (of which she has great power) by spells or channeling. She is a terror to forces of darkness or evil, as her channels burn not just undead but all those who carry darkness in their hearts.

Valestar is also a master crafter of magic items, bringing with her family lore in the creation of wands and staves.
