Margot

Description
Margot performs in the circus as an acrobat, doing acts from the tightrope to the trapeze. If she isn’t practicing, she can be found either stealing small things or pulling pranks on her companions. She loves creating a bit of chaos, and finds she can laugh in almost any situation. Despite being surrounded by friends of all shapes and sizes, Margot refuses to show her true form and only uses her shifting if it is absolutely necessary.

Background
Margot was born from unusual circumstances. Her mother the barren wife of a poor sheep farmer wished for a child. So she went to the fairies and pleaded with them for a child. The fairies took pity on her and gifted Margot’s mother with a changeling child. Though he was different, Margot was raised with all the love a child could want. Her parents sheltered her from the world, in fear that her odd nature would endanger her. And so, on the peaceful sheep farm, Margot grew up. That is until in her young adulthood, she found herself yearning for the outside world. So, one day, she slipped away to explore the world outside the farm. The nearby town of Luskan seemed huge compared to her home, and it entranced her. It was on this day that Margot met Ebuc’eci as he performed in the streets for coin. Something about the magic and the prestige of the performance drew her in. After some haggling and endless annoying of the Ice mage, Margot was allowed to perform with him. And so, every day she would finish her chores and slip away so she could do so. This taught her many skills, like acrobatics, acting, illusion, and of course, thievery. Something about the sparkling treasures that others wore always drew her in. It was exactly these sticky fingers that allowed her to meet Odysseus, or ‘Od’. After getting caught trying to swipe his coin purse, Od introduced them to the circus, and a more stable way of life. After talking with Ebuc’ice about it, Margot decided to join. And so she snuck away one last time, with not one goodbye to the parents she loved so much.
