She escaped in the chaos of her first childbirth through a faked death she ended up on the streets. Finding herself in a world where she knew how nothing worked she did the only thing she could to survive, she lied and she copied others.

Alignment Neutral Good
Orderliness She prefers to be in disorderly situations with lax laws and low oversight. It is critical for her that she is able to escape scrutiny and that she never feels that she has been captured or compelled to remain in one place. While she enjoys the comforts of stability she fears any type of connections which would obligate or entrap her in turn. This has changed with her re-connection to her daughter, though she still struggles to find safe connection.
Goodness She is not a naturally malicious person but always believes in putting herself over others, doing what she can to avoid confrontation in the process. In cases where she could enrich herself at the detriment of others she will skim what she can off the top so as to remain unnoticeable but never drive anyone to ruin. She is altruistic in situations where she perceives women are being sexually abused and will viciously attempt to murder any perpetrators of this type of abuse.
Locus of Motivation She is externally motivated and seeks the approval of others due to a very poorly developed sense of self and identity. She commoditized approval and sees herself as having value based on the response she gets to her paintings and her personal appearance. She has almost no education, and besides her intrinsic sexual value she only knows how to please others with entertainment and looks. While she resents being valued for this specifically she also craves approval and interaction, leaving her feeling used and cheap. She struggles to escape this cycle; after getting her daughter Lilu she finds her motivation in being a good mother in her daughter's eyes.
Social Investment She deeply enjoys society and values large safe societies as they are typically the best place for her to maneuver and ensure her own safety. By being capable of sliding into society and seeking attention and interaction through any number of identities she is able to fulfill her constant need for interaction to stave off loneliness. Despite this she doesn't meaningfully contribute to society as becoming a reliable part of the machine would mean surrendering her ability to disappear at any time. She struggles with her lack of connection due to this.

Appearance
Physical Description
Health & Fitness She is a trim and healthy woman with sun burnished skin quite unlike the average moon elf. Her elven features are deceptively thin and lithe as she is particularly athletic and well built for an elven woman. Her features are sharp and distinguished, with visible musculature and well carved abs. She appears exceptionally healthy and fit with an eye toward aesthetics and endurance.
Abnormalities & Illnesses As a moon elf she should have pale skin but she manages to always retain a surprisingly healthy tan. Despite her hard musculature her body is oddly soft to the touch. She has no body hair, even after traveling on the road for extended periods of time and her body has no visible scarring or blemishes.
Body Features
Body Shape She is well proportioned with a very trim waist and particularly powerful legs which are longer than her torso. Her posture is particularly strong, with her spinal curvature emphasizing her significant chest for an elven woman and developed rear. She is particularly proud of her waistline and eats a vegetarian diet as well as enages in exercises to maintain her fitness.
Body Features She is abnormally flexible, capable of feats of contortion and gymnastics with surprising steadiness. She is capable of getting comfortable in unusual positions and has no shame in how her body might be portrayed in a position.
Facial Features
Facial Features She has delicate facial features, with aquamarine to grey almond shaped eyes, a small narrow nose and glossy pink lips. Her ears are small for an elven woman, and pieced in multiple places. She has round cheeks which end in a a short round chin, giving her face a youthful appearance. Her features are commonly enhanced with cosmetics, particularly lip coloration, eyebrow enhancement, rouge and eyeliner and eyeshadow.
Hairstyle Her hair is a somewhat disorganized tumble of straight locks. She wears bangs over her forehead and has short locks framing the sides of her face. Much of her hair is kept thinned out and pulled around back where she forms a slim ponytail. Her hair often bears different colored streaks depending on her mood.
Facial Hair She has no facial hair.
Identifying Characteristics
Identifying Features She always looks slightly different as she changes her hair, her clothes, her make-up, among other characteristics. She is easily recognized to those familiar with her for her natural platinum blonde hair and sunkissed skin, an unusual combination in elven women.
Physical quirks
Physical Quirks Anyone who is around her for long enough and pays attention will realize she does not have a menstrual cycle. She moves and behaves in a way that is highly feminine and in some cases childish. She is easily confounded by tasks such as throwing a ball around, or in opening a bottle of champagne. Despite this she is entirely capable of wearing any manner of difficult clothing, applying cosmetics or painting delicate masterpieces.
Apparel & Accessories
Style She armors herself in intricate platemail that is tight-fitting and layered in the elven style. Despite the attempt to equip herself as a mobile fighter she rarely seems to utilize these advantages. She dresses in a way that shows off her body and her fitness. She enjoys low cut sundresses with open sides and tied waists to show off her waistline and curves. She also enjoys revealing swimwear and flashy costumes. She wears a lot of aquamarine blues and rich ceruleans.
Clothing She prefers sundresses, simple light shoes and other light airy clothing. She will often wear inappropriate clothing to highlight her body or draw attention when she can.
Identifiers She avoids identifying marks, symbols, or badges other than her B.A.S.E. issued badge.
Accessories She has an endless number of accessories, from a multitude of ribbons, sashes, necklaces, earrings or other bits of decoration. She combines and recombines these in dizzying arrays to create new looks. She is also happy to apply them to other women she travels with and enjoys dressing them up.
Casual Clothes She doesn't differentiate between casual clothes and other clothes. Whatever fits her mood at the time is what she will wear. If she is in the comfort of her own privacy she will lounge around naked, and will do this with women she is close to.
Specialized Equipment
Weapons She wields the Phantasmal Paintbrush, a roughly 4 foot long polearm which ends in tapered white bristles which are typically stiff and unmoving as they come to a fine chisel point. The haft is made of a strong wood and painted blue with a nearly opaque black lacquer laid on the haft. Brass filigree reinforces the haft and brackets attach to a finely embroidered cerulean silk strap. The bottom of the brush has a simple brass and steel buttcap with a point similar to an ink-pen nib. The bristle end of the brush has a fine brass and steel collar which reinforces the bristles. The bristles give an impression of the weapon being a spear but when her magical paint flows through the bristles they can soften and become pliant.
Armor She wears elven style layered platemail with layers of steel and burnished brass. Her armor is intricate and has the motif of a lion etched into the shoulderguards. Beneath the plates she wears a gambeson padded silk bodysuit and a silk skirt. She carries a kite shield of sturdy wood with a steel frame across which a canvas is stretched. The canvas is deeply enchanted and will shift to display scenes of all manner, including an animated face. This shield, the Phantasmal Palette diffuses and deflects magical energy.
Tools She always retains a set of painter's tools as well as a disguise kit and a forgery kit. She plies her trade using these tools and maintains her secrets by protecting her identity and deflecting suspicion.
Special Items She is fond of a particular cherry vanilla perfume which reshapes perceptions of her and has magical paint with which she is capable of reshaping reality itself. She is fond of a pair of oversized sunglasses which she often wears at inappropriate times, particularly with a sunhat and her sundress. She has a number of other trinkets and potions which help her, including a pair of heeled boots she is rather proud of and in which she is capable of surprising mobility.
Spellcasting Focus She uses two different spellcasting focuses; for her pact magic she uses her phantasmal paintbrush, for her divine magic she uses a holy symbol of a swirling triangle of mist on her shield.
Special abilities
Talents She is a talented painter owing to an exceptional eye for pointless detail, despite frequently misunderstanding the context and function of that which she observes. Her sense of aesthetics grant her an exceptional ability to attract and interact with individuals.
Physiological She is a changeling and is capable of significant changes to her shape and appearance. This grants her inexplicable levels of flexibility in her body, and she is happy to show her features off for the attention.
Social She is a talented social observer and her ability to flatter and please have been her primary method of self preservation. She is quick to recognize those in power and enter their good graces.
Spiritual Her original patron is, unknown to her, the falsely dead goddess of falsehood Leira. After learning that in truth her powers originated from her Cloud Giant Smiling One heritage she began a form of ancestor worship and has been exploring other spiritual opportunities. As a Paladin of Treachery she is capable of invoking a number of divine magics and blessings granted by Leira to confound and deceive others and leave them doubting.
Magical Her patron, Iallanis, grants her magical powers through her pact magic and also empowers her Tome of Canvases. She is not a particularly accomplished spellcaster but her pact magic is channeled entirely through her Phantasmal Paintbrush.
Mentality
Personal history
Childhood Her childhood situation is unknown. She believes she must have once belonged to a changeling commune but she was captured by slavers and spent much of her childhood being kept uneducated and servile. She learned only the most basic of skills and her head was filled with utter nonsense about the world and its functions, such that she believed that death was guaranteed outside of the walls of her prison and that her service was due her protectors. Her identity was constantly shoved down and eroded.
Teenager Her teenage years were filled with abuse and horror as her grooming was completed. Sold to a nobleman as a sex slave, well versed in her expected services. She was trained to become whatever woman her owner, Hugh, demanded of her, and was often forced to accompany her master to observe women who met his fancy. She was expected to take the form of those women and serve him. She was kept in an impossibly well sealed room under guard during these years, only called out when she was expected to serve. The only belongings she had being various outfits, cosmetics and a few mirrors, tools she had been provided to perfectly match her owner's specifications. She reinvented herself endlessly in the isolation, the only way she had to ease the boredom.
Adulthood At 18 she fell pregnant and forbidden from changing her form until the birth of the child. She soon realized that whatever child she had would be subjected to the same fate as her, taken as a child and raised slowly, groomed for a similar fate. What had been a grim ennui grew to black despair as she realized the fate of the child and herself. Too cowardly to kill herself she whimpered in the dark, wishing desperately for someone or something to take her and this child from the horrible fate. After escaping she tried to settle into a single persona, adopting Jacqui Beauclerc the moon-elven painter as her primary facade. She would do all she could to protect her secrets and survive in the greater world. She began a life of adventuring while trying to sell her paintings. In Flamerule of 1494 DR she recovered her daughter, Lilu.
Education
Education Level She is completely uneducated in any practical knowledge, only knowing what is necessary to serve a nobleman and the behaviors exhibited within a noble home. All other knowledge is road knowledge. She happily leans into being a know nothing as it causes others to disregard her or lower their guard around her.
Notable Masters She has copied the mannerisms of many people but has never been formally trained by anyone.
Employment
Employment History She has never been formally employed. She has done freelance painting for a number of clients, as well as having done mercenary adventuring work in the cities of Lerwick and Driftriver.
Current Work Freelance painter and agent of B.A.S.E. in the city of Driftriver.
Side Jobs She has done some work in entertainment, specifically working with Zug Zugger as a stage technician.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Accomplishments & Achievements She is an accomplished painter who has made a minor name for herself as a capable portrait artist. The majority of her work is kept very private by the nature of the employment and her purposes within it.
Greatest Memories She has very few happy memories. Her life has been one of utter panic and aimless vagrancy interspersed with bitterness and loneliness. She has made a few friends, but the relationships are never strong enough to last through difficulty. Recovering her daughter, Lilu.
Failures & Embarrassments
Failures & Embarrassments Almost all of her early attempts to blend into society went incredibly poorly. Her manners and knowledge was limited to noble social circles, and her behaviors were bizarre and alien. Only through Iallanis's blessings and a limited ability to detect the thoughts of others was she able to survive by absorbing knowledge and mimicking skills. Ultimately though her greatest failure was the abandonment of her daughter and in doing so abandoning a major part of herself. Since then she has lived a life sealed off from normal humanoid happiness.
Worst Memories Her teenage years, almost in entirety. The years blur together and she has no interest in picking it apart to remember any of it in particular.
Mental Trauma
Mental Trauma She has been mentally and sexually abused. She is also unaware of her parentage, lineage or even anything involving her identity. Her constructed identity is more of her persona than her actual self as lingering in her natural form or psyche causes her severe anxiety and discomfort. She dwells on a level of surface thoughts far from introspection as a manner of self defense.
Phobias She has a severe phobia of cages and enclosed spaces. It is critical that she has escape routes planned at any time. She strongly dislikes the use of force to grab and restrain others.
Intellectual Characteristics
Intellectual Characteristics She is naturally skittish, self-absorbed and emotionally driven. She always trusts her gut and the instincts she has from her heritage, in the form of whispers she receives from Iallanis, over anything else. With almost no intellectual understanding of the world she uses instinct and reaction to navigate the world.
Confidence She is confident in her body and in her own abilities; confidence is the name of the game when it comes to convincing others of a scheme or con. The only case where she gets particularly proud is her ability to paint as it is the only developed skill she has.
Morality & Philosophy
Philosophical views She has no comprehensive view on the world at large, other than you can trust nearly no one. In her views the concept of ideals, reality, philosophies and other things are meaningless. All things are ultimately immaterial except the bonds we make with each other.
Views on Religion She is intimately familiar with the concept of a higher power and being saved but is not someone who would ever try to convince someone to change their ways. She believes that wanting something like a spiritual connection has to come from very deep within.
Views on Magic She is a moderately skilled spellcaster, particularly in the realms of illusion and enchantment. She sees magic as a necessary part of life, as a tool to be used rather than viewing it with any sense of wonder or even analysis.
Views on Society She lives on the excess of large society but has minimal understanding of the social constructs and behaviors which allow it to operate with success. She is minimally invested in the success of others and is consciously aware that her greatest security is in the good graces of others while simultaneously being able to escape any harm.
person.sexuality
Sexuality She is bisexual and has experience with both men and women but has never thoroughly enjoyed the act. Sex is a very mercenary thing for her to partake in and is typically only done as an ends to a mean. Sex is not a means of self-love for her, and in her adulthood she has halted her menstrual cycle after coming to understand that it was what resulted in her pregnancy. She uses her abilities as a changeling to effectively suppress her sexual organs excluding the surface ones. She is extremely feminine in personality and sexuality but will not take a sexually submissive attitude due to a lack of trust and the trauma she has suffered.
Type Attracted To She is attracted to -STR +DEX --INT ++CHA. She has a strong hatred for people who ask too many questions or who are detail oriented while also disliking people who are stronger than her as they represent a physical danger which could lead to her capture. Jacqui likes people who are dexterous and good with their hands and those who have charms and social skills as she views them as kindred spirits.
Libido Her libido is nearly non-existent. She supresses her sex organs through the use of her changeling abilities. She does not masturbate or have recreational sex, even if she does enjoy touching others, particularly if she is doing the touching. She does not have a strong interest in being touched or pursued.
Promiscuity She is an irredeemable flirt and charmer and will use the suggestion or promise of sex to gain any benefit she can grasp. She almost never follows through with any sexual acts though, instead preferring to allow their imagination to suffice.
person.gender_identity
Gender Identity Bisexual, Feminine
Taboos
Taboos She views the eating of meat as a taboo. Having been raised on cheap vegetables while watching her previous owner, Hugh, and his greedy noble companions feast on meat she associates it with rapacious and selfish behavior. Having been effectively a prey animal for most of her life she also has a deep sympathy for animals who are caged and exploited. She views the caging of anyone or the sexual abuse of others as horrifically deplorable and will fly into a rage on seeing it. She views changelings who are public with their abilities as deeply dangerous and risky as their behavior sparks the imaginations of men like Hugh.
Enemies She views any slaver as a natural enemy and hates her previous owner, Hugh. She also hates anyone who asks too many questions or pries into her business.
Racial Friction She views race as an almost unnecessary line. As a changeling she is able to be a member of any race at will. To her races are just as different as an outfit.

Personality
Motivation
Reason for Becoming an Adventurer Money makes the world go around. If one thing was made clear to her doing her early years it was that she was owned. That she was bought and paid for. That all power and freedom comes out of a coin purse. She began adventuring due to the apparent wealth of those who participated. Her early adventuring career is where she ended up taking her armor and much of her figure on, when she scavenged her equipment from a fallen comrade.
Goals "Become a capable adult who is able to survive through her own honest means.
Make enough coin to live comfortably enough, ideally through the sale of paintings.
One day find the kid I left behind and reclaim her, and in doing so reclaim the parts of myself I left behind."
Positives, Ego Boosters Being complimented for things she did of her own skill and ability, particularly painting, make-up, fashion or other skills she genuinely believes she has. Fooling others into believing things, as it gives her a sense that she has an ever strengthening grasp on the true workings of the world.
Negatives, Fears Any type of containment or physical restraint. Going without comforts, food, or shelter. Loneliness. She is a survivor but lacks the hardened spirit to make it on her own, and if she spends too much time alone without stimulation her mind will return to the dark places and times of her life.
Guarded Secrets She is a changeling. She has a child. She is uneducated.
Desired Objects or Knowledge She would like to one day own a theater or art gallery. She finds great satisfaction in being adulated for her work in illusions and painting.
Quotes & Catchphrases
Quotes She has few quotes or favored words. Any type of common behaviors or traits can lead to identification so she struggles to maintain a neutral and unidentifiable vocabulary.
Catchphrases She has no catchphrases for the same reason she has no quotes or favored words.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Greatest Strengths Her greatest strength is her imagination. Locked in a room without stimulation her imagination and her deception were the only skills she could hone. These two were what drew the attention of Leira who granted her a great deal of additional strength. She has since learned that her power was always internal and has gained confidence from it.
Greatest Weaknesses She does very poorly at cultivating strong personal relationships. The intimacy of a close relationship is what she deeply craves and yet most deeply fears. To be truly known by another would mean giving up her secrets. She is deeply uncomfortable with this.
Natural Ineptitudes She lacks almost no skills involving critical thinking, analysis or education. She isn't particularly capable of creation of new things, instead relying almost entirely on what she knows being used in specific ways. Her creativity is limited by a lack of context and synthesis.
Likes & Dislikes
Favorite Color Cerulean blue, aquamarine, steel, brass.
Favorite Foods, Flavors She only eats vegetarian dishes and favors fruits and nuts for breakfasts and snacks. She often eats dishes comprised of beans, potatoes and others stewed vegetables for heavier meals. She tends to eat fairly lightly to maintain her figure.
Treasured Items She deeply treasures her Phantasmal Paintbrush and Phantasmal Palette. These were things borne out of her talent and imbued with the magic of her cloud giant smiling one heritage.
Other Favored Things She is fond of her small mirror which she keeps with her while traveling. She often looks at herself in the mirror to apply make-up and also to confirm that the person looking back in the mirror is her facade, Jacqui. This ritual helps her keep her psyche together and stay inside Jacqui Beauclerc's headspace.
Dislikes and Hates She dislikes dirt and grime as they besmirch her appearance. She also hates women who are clearly her superior in attractiveness, though these rivals are few and far between.
Virtues & Personality perks
Virtues She is creative, non-judgmental and is open-minded. She is willing to hear other ideas and be convinced of them within reason, as long as the alternative doesn't violate one of her phobias.
Perks She is known to be excellent company as well as an excellent artist. She is socially available and approachable, often working within the markets district of a city.
Vices & Personality flaws
Vices She is bad with money and tends to spend on distraction, entertainment and vanity items as quickly as she earns money. This makes it almost impossible for her to earn her way towards building a theater or even a home where her child could live in if she were to reclaim her.
Flaws She is horribly vain and craves attention and romantic approach despite having no intentions to draw a long or short term partner. She can frustrate those around her very quickly with her constant hot-cold attitude as she pushes and pulls at them.
Personality Quirks
Ticks & Quirks She constantly refreshes her make-up, looks at herself in the mirror, scribe-sends her friends and otherwise distracts herself as much as possible to reduce her boredom. In cases of travel she will often attempt to entertain others in exchange for their attention.
Comfort Items Her personal hand mirror is her greatest comfort item. It is one of the first things she bought in an effort to begin maintaining a static identity.
Hygiene
Hygiene & Grooming She is meticulously well kept, particularly with regards to her skin and clothing. The only area she permits any type of disorder in is her hair, which is a chosen effect. Her loose wavy hair is easily changed to a number of styles on the fly. She has no body hair as typical of elven women.
Vanity & Modesty She is extraordinarily vain to the point that it often dominates her personality. Maintaining control of her appearance is in a large way maintaining control of her identity. By showing the perfect form and always holding it without any deviation she rejects her past experiences where she was demanded to transform for the pleasure of others. Because her appearance is such a critical part of her concept of control she thoroughly enjoys showing off, and because it is a work of art to her and not actually her own body she has no qualms in displaying herself without hesitation or shame.
Tolerances She is judgmental of those who show disdain for their appearance and who lack a cultivated style. She views the disheveled and unkempt as lazy and less truthful as they put less effort into their personal appearance and self.

Social Aptitude
Personality Type ESFJ
Action Profile She is motivated by a constant need to gain the attention and approval of others. Very little is done that isn't done to be interesting or entertaining.

Mannerisms
Mannerisms She obsessively fusses over her appearance and does almost anything she can to keep herself occupied. She frequently runs her hands through her hair. She tries to avoid having common mannerisms.
