Backstory
Shimmer was born from the first mirage ever seen, and she's been performing ever since. She can be anyone, anything, any dream made real. She's the realm's greatest illusionist, and she's forgotten who she really is.
Daily Life
She spends her days performing illusions, her nights shifting through forms, and her rare free moments trying to remember who she was. She hasn't been herself in a millennium—if she ever knew who that was.
Secret
She's been seeking her true form. She's tried everything—magic, meditation, asking those who knew her—but nothing works. She's terrified that she never had a true form, that she's always been just an illusion.
Story Hooks
- 1 She's heard of a way to find her true form and needs help pursuing it
- 2 A PC has seen through her illusions and knows what she really looks like—she desperately needs to know what they saw
