Age: 15, 18, 23, 27, or 35 (Age will vary depending on the RP)

Gender: Female

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: "Normal" Appearance: A Navy blue coat with a light pink mane, usually styled in the latest trend. She's of average height and keeps herself lean and in good shape. She puts great effort into her appearance. This is what most ponies will see. <br /><br />Actual Appearance: The above description is just an illusion that Mirror Image keeps up at all times. Her true appearance is not so different from the illusion, however the right side of her body is marred by a series of burn scars. If she can avoid it, she will never let anyone see her true self. If she can't maintain the illusion for whatever reason she dons a purple cloak and mask.

Cutie Mark: Her cutie mark is comprised of five arcane glyphs surrounding an eye, representing her skill at deceiving the five senses with her illusion magic.

Personality: Her personality will depend upon her age in the RP.<br /><br />Age 15: At age 15, Mirror Image has just been allowed to live by herself and has just earned her cutie mark. She isn't yet skilled enough to alter her appearance and will try to hide from others out of shame of her scars. She lacks confidence, is easily scared, shy, introverted, and fears being rejected because of her appearance. She practices her magic every day with the hope of one day hiding her scars.<br /><br />Age 18: At age 18, Mirror Image has become skilled enough to hide her scars temporarily, however she will generally focus on the scars on her face. She is more outgoing and slightly more confident. She usually wears a dark purple cloak to hide the scars on her body.<br /><br />Age 23: In her early twenties Mirror Image is fully capable of sustaining her appearance for a few hours time so long as she has gotten a full night's sleep. She is now much more confident in her appearance and strengths. She will actively socialize and make acquaintances even friends. However, she is still withdrawn and will not spend a great amount of time with anyone pony, in case they suspect her to be hiding something.<br /><br />Age 27: While acting much the same as she did in her early twenties, Mirror Image is now actively practicing her magic on other ponies with or without their consent. It's around this time that Mirror Image has begun to develop a darker streak in her personality. <br /><br />Age 35: Mirror Image has reached the height of her abilities and her hidden cruel streak. She acts like a proper unicorn noble should.

Backstory: As a foal Mirror Image lived in the countryside at the foot of the Canterlot Mountains with her parents. She had a happy foalhood and decided that she would follow in her parent's hoofsteps. Despite not being a potent mage, she decided to read and practice illusion magic every day while her parents taught her lessons. When she was around the age of twelve her house caught fire and burned down. The fire took her parent's lives and scarred her body. She spent the next three years of her life in a hospital before being allowed to live in an assisted living home. Mirror Image hid away in her apartment practicing illusion magic. She rarely left her home and only did so when it was absolutely necessary, usually at night.<br /><br />She stayed in the assisted living home until her parent's money was used up. After being asked to leave, she began to wander Equestria, performing illusion shows for money.
