Backstory
Mirror was born during a moment when multiple realities briefly touched. She discovered she could read prophecies in reflections—not just literal mirrors, but any parallel or reflection of reality. She's become the foremost mirror-seer in Mystara, consulted by those seeking to understand alternate possibilities and parallel paths.
Daily Life
She maintains the Palace, reads mirror-prophecies for visitors, and trains apprentices in mirror-divination. She spends her days surrounded by reflective surfaces, seeking visions in parallel possibilities. She rarely leaves the Palace, as the outside world has too few mirrors for her comfort.
Secret
Mirror has seen a mirror-prophecy suggesting that all possible realities are converging on a single point, and she's terrified of what will happen when infinite possibilities collapse into one.
