I am trying to create a character who is elven nobility (preferably astral elf), but I can't find much about where she might be from. There seems to be one empire of evil astral elves and other than that I can't even find any place names where astral elves live, let alone if they would have nobility. Am I missing something in the lore of the astral sea or is it all just really vague?
I can't speak for prior editions in regards to elves in the Astral Sea, but 5e tries really hard to avoid lore a lot of the time. You might benefit from either consulting earlier editions, or from taking known astral Sea lore for another race and making your own based off that.

I know what you're thinking: "In that flurry of blows, did he use all his ki points, or save one?" Well, are ya feeling lucky, punk?

Speak to your DM - they may have some lore already established for Astral Elves, or they may build lore around Astral Elves, based on discussions with you.
In earlier editions one of the big players in the astral sea was the elven navy with members from many elven worlds. These were regular elves but you could probably start there as they had their own bases and realms in the astral.
