Blaise and Polaris were star elves. Centuries of isolation befell their people, and the star elves are unfamiliar with other races. Having little faith in their society's ability to defend themselves alone, she is seeking help to combat the threat of the Nilshai, Polaris encounters a small tribe of goliaths. 

In this tribe, Gable was more gentle than the other goliaths and served a regular role as a dawncaller. This meant they were on shift at night, the night that Peesh encountered their tribe.

Under the advisory of Jean, Peesh attempts to stop their visits with the goliaths. Jean's fondness of Polaris roots back to their childhood, and they don't want to see harm befell them by that of another race they have no history with, a seemingly brutish and simpleminded tribe of goliath in the mountains.

Peesh is discovered by her peers, it's irregular for a star elf to leave their home so frequently. Gable is caught by his own tribe as well, and faces the threat of shunning or even banishment by his people, banishment being a near-lethal judgement in the harsh winter mountains.

Jean, desperately searching for protection under an archfey patron, made a pact with Lolth. Their patron was now Lolth the spider goddess. 

Lolth offered Jean quick access to power and protection. Exactly what they needed for survival.

Jean, Peesh, and Pow flee the clan under the protection of Lolth. And Jean is made to surrender their friends to the horrors of an attempt at an artificial fey, fusing Peesh with a praying mantis, and Pow with a weaver ant.

The first Métstique performance was incidental. The trio had been wandering between towns, and were even offered currency in exchange for them shedding their masks. Just for a view of their faces. Rumors spread about the fascinating fey duo and their leader.

With nothing else to do, Jean uses this to their advantage and creates the Métstique troupe.

(Insert big ass piece of bingus lore from the other page)

The fey energy in Peesh is slowly dissipating, and their memories of their life as a star elf are struggling to coexist with the instincts of the praying mantis they were fused with. 

Peesh has been showcasing large shifts in behavior. Their patience and strategy are enhanced, and they have been growing sharper over time. She has higher sensory awareness and less tolerance for incompetence than ever before. Everything in the circus must be clean, and stay clean. obsessive mantis-y behavior. She also has a weird craving to eat peopleeee eoh noooooo.

Peesh has been having heavy visions as her memory fades. They have urges to eat

Ka Boom is the hunter for Ka Peesh's cravings. Drip Drop occasionally has to help, and so does Queen. The whole circus is technically full of murderers. But all of them are tied to the ringmaster for one reason or another.

Ka Boom was previously a grugach and takes pride in hunting for her troupe. She was the first willing to kill, and started the troupe's long line of "disappearances" that seem to happen right after their festivals end, though going missing during a carnival as large as that isn't entirely weird

probably just drip drop stuff/her role
