Tia Dusk
Tia has multiple jobs at Philonius' Roaming Curiosities and they are in multiple acts due to her changeling abilities to change appearance and due to the fact that the carnival is lacking carnies.
They are generally a loner who keeps to themself but it has been increasingly difficult because of the low number of people who are now working at the carnival.
The only current carnie who has seen Tia’s true changeling form is Philonius and Madam Dusk the hag, and fortune teller.

Personal history
Something like 3-4 years ago Philonius was wandering around the carnival grounds during night time because he couldn’t sleep. He felt like he had heard something and decided to go around to check. They had camped near a small hill and at the bottom of the hill, next to one of the carnival carriages, he had found an almost lifeless body. It was Tia in their true form, albino white, red eyes, cuts and bruises everywhere, and unnatural scars all over her body. It looked like she had fallen and rolled down the hill. Phil was quick and woke up the medicine woman they had at the carnival named Werma. They patched up Tia and waited to see if they would wake up.
Eventually they did. Tia couldn’t remember anything, not even their own name. The medicine woman named them Tia after their own deceased daughter. The woman had a picture of their daughter and Tia adapted her appearance as a persona.
Tia has lost their memory and it has never fully returned to them. They still don’t know where they come from and what happened before that day on the hill.
They have an almost family connection with the old medicine woman and they feel most grateful for the life they got at the carnival. They’ve been working at the carnival ever since. They are curious about their past and definitely want to investigate it more, but they feel so committed to the carnival that they can’t leave it all behind, especially right now when it's struggling. Madam Dusk is old and sick and the days Madam Dusk is too sick to work at the fortune teller’s tent Tia will pose as Madam Dusk and cover for her. Philonius is aware of it but lets her do this because he can’t afford to lose both of them.
Phil has most likely also used Tia’s abilities to take on any form to do other tasks around the carnival or to impress people, etc. They can most likely imitate most of the other carnies if they were asked to.
Tia has nightmares and they usually evolve around either fire or water. They have no clue where they got their magic abilities from but have a feeling the nightmares are a clue.
