## At a Glance
Always wears an intricately carved mask depicting a sinister, smiling face with hollow eyes. Dark, form-fitting clothing with subtle silvery thread patterns. Moves with fluid, dancer-like grace.
Effortlessly switches between personas. Hums a haunting, melancholy tune when deep in thought. Maintains an air of charm and sophistication even when threatening.
## Personality
Consummate performer. Cunning and resourceful. Ruthlessly driven by desire for power and control. Views the world as a stage where the most skilled can make others dance to their tune.
