An Entertainer's Despair

[SleepyDemon]

Within the tribes of Moxtli lies a showy little Lapine with an overabundance of vigor, a distant spotlight in her eyes illuminating the path forward to her lofty dreams of Essharian stardom, and a distinct penchant for stirring up absurd mischief in the midst of her impromptu performances. She treads as freely as the wind itself with a spring in her gait and doesn’t seem to be physically capable of staying still for long. As a result, many of the locals have likely caught a glance of the unusual child absorbed in her exuberant shenanigans attempting to steal a smile or two while showcasing a dazzling one of her own.

 

Hand in hand with her cheerful laughter, it isn’t unlikely that they’ve witnessed her calling out her stage name of  with some overly enthusiastic, flashy gesture and a splendorous toss of confetti. It’s hard to say where exactly she came from, yet not a single soul appears safe from the risk of her approach. Rumor has it that she dabbles in alchemy as well!

★ Within the leather bound diary stuffed away in her room, the latest passage reads as follows:★

“You know, I’ve been thinking about it a bunch lately… the fact that they say some folks aren't one bit cut out for the stage before they’ve even stepped foot on it. Sure we've all got our dreams and ambitions and stuff, but apparently some people can't do it! It's totally the exact same in nature, isn't it? No matter who you ask, they almost always say the rabbit's going to be the prey out of any two animals. And I mean who can blame them? You've got wolves and all sorts of super scary animals out there waiting to tear them to ribbons! I'm shivering just writing this!

But that’s what makes it fun, isn’t it?

Even if the odds are stacked crazy high, life would be awfully boring if people really knew what was going to happen before it happened! A farmer works night and day tending to their crops while not knowing if any of them are going to make it through a harsh, unforgiving winter, a hunter sets a mountain load of traps when food is scarce around their home while not knowing whether or not they’ll actually catch anything, and some weirdo entertainer puts on the greatest shows they can while not knowing just how amazing or poorly they’re going to turn out. Will they screw up? Will they be forgotten the very next morning? Who knows! No matter the scenario, it's all about having the guts to survive!

That’s why I’m going to be a terrifying predator and the best entertainer— a legend to be remembered in history till the end of time!

That’s why I’m Shining Sparkle, not ////////!

The me of tomorrow will shine and sparkle even more than the me of today!

So watch out Esshar… here I come!”
