Mira of Many Faces 7

Mira had an uneventful childhood until her acting and acrobatic talents got her a position in a prestigious troupe. Her family were a little unsure about letting her leave, but her passion for the way of life helped persuade them - along with the difficulty they were having supporting her as well as their younger son. Living with the theatre, she first discovered her powers by mimicking the pose of a haughty noblewoman sitting in a box above perfectly, recreating effortlessly her utter, inbuilt dominance.

Since then, she's gotten involved in several minor disasters, helping out with the light-born power she now possesses. Both she and those who know her have a healthy respect for the dark side of her nature.

Description
In her own form, Mira has silver hair, and eyes of grey. Her outfit is a small blue top, and a knee-length skirt of blue and white. She wears a headband of noble azure, and matching pins keep the hair from her eyes.

She rarely stays in her own form.

Mostly, the aspects she assumes merely shift her colours - the emperor turns her hair and clothes black and royal purple, and her eyes a piercing green, as well as making her top cover her stomach. The empress, meanwhile, gives her a 'pure' appearance, with white-blonde hair, pale blue eyes, and a long dress of sky blue. The lovers, meanwhile, cast her outfit as a pale pink, her hair a bright red and eyes a chocolate brown. Her top is reduced to a tube top.

Personality
As herself, Mira is friendly, easily distracted, and fond of performing. However, since getting a place in a great theatre, she's been herself far less often.

The Emperor is cool, intelligent, and a little cruel. The Empress, of course, is the reverse - warm, wise, and caring. The lover is free, affectionate and lovable.

Sample encounters
-While out for a night of entertainment, the theatre is attacked by a pair of furious, barbaric ogres. Before the party can swing into actions, one of the performers shimmers into a simple, slightly revealing pink outfit and attacks first, with odd shards of glass.

-A nobleman employs the party to capture a bandit who stole several items of importance from her. When they track the bandits group down, they find the leader was killed by a smiling, black haired girl - and they'll show the viciously perforated body, if pressed. The party must track down the girl, and recover the items, assuming they can.

-On the run from the law, the injured party hides in a theatre. A blue-hued girl tends their wounds and helps to disguise them - but is interrupted by the arrival of the guards. What now?
