I am going to play a Cheliaxian born champion of Calistria. She has the bellflower agent background and will be smuggling halflings from Cheliax to Andorran. I used acp to get her into the Eagle Knights as well. Having trouble coming up with a good reason for a champion of Calistria to be helping these halflings. Please help me come up with a good in world lore reason for her mission to free the halflings.

One of Calistria's major tenets is "take revenge," and it is anathema to "let a slight go unanswered." Calistria is not an evil goddess, but she is not very forgiving. If your character is a halfling, perhaps she was herself a former slave, or her family were enslaved, until she escaped and is now trying to get others out of Cheliax ala Harriet Tubman in plate armour? That could also serve as a good ongoing character goal through the campaign, to find out what happened to other family members and help who they can? Such a backstory still works in a 2e status quo, where Cheliax has phased out chattel slavery in favour of debt peonage.

She's a bellflower agent who wants to help halflings b/c she doesn't think that their forced servitude is right.
Boom.
Don't overcomplicate things. The calistrian part can play into her being a bit tricksy with stuff.
