Mental characteristics
Personal history
Lux was born the only child to one of the few changeling families outside of the core settlement of the fey. Born into wealth, Lux had always dreamed of becoming a star one day.
All her days were spent practicing, practicing, practicing. Soon enough, her moment came: She was accepted onto the TV show rising stars!
Across the continent, another young changeling named Adrien had auditioned for the show. When Lux heard about the other talented changeling from across the sea, she was ecstatic.
Originally, the show producers weren't going to let Adrien on the show. Going overseas for a single participant was too expensive, even for a promising talent.
But Lux begged her father, and he managed to pull some strings to send a ship to pick Adrien up.
The idol show put all of the contestants through grueling work schedules. Every inch of time not spent preforming or training for preformances was used for photo shoots, media appearances and interviews.
Meanwhile, Lux and Adrien became close friends, both on and off the camera. They'd often play pranks on the staff, working together to distract them for long enough to sneak extra ice cream or hide in the costume closet to try on outfits.
Lux quickly became a fan favorite, due to her confident and outgoing personality. Adrien also had a healthy fan base, charming people with their mischievous antics.
As more and more contestants were sent home, tensions started to rise. Many fans started to pit Lux and Adrien against each other, and the producers leaned into the drama.
As the finale drew closer, their relationship grew more and more strained. Adrien grew more competitive, doing whatever they could to secure the win.
In the end, Lux just barely won out. Adrien had a mental breakdown onstage, before running away in tears.
Shortly after the finale concluded, Adrien attacked Lux backstage, locking them both in the dressing room. Luckily, Lux made it out with only some minor wounds, managing to pin Adrien underneath a clothes rack.
The authorities arrested Adrien soon after, and ended up sending them to a secluded mental ward.
Lux went on to become a dazzling star, despite the ongoing controversies around them and the conspiracy theories around their rise to fame.
That's all the cameras know for sure, anyway.
Every time Lux is asked about her past, they spin a brand new story, each one wilder than the last. She's claimed to be an orphan her parents took in, a magic puppet, resurrected ancient royalty, and a myriad of other things.
Despite being such a popular celebrity, Lux is very secretive about their personal details, answers to the smallest things about them constantly changing.
When asked about why they do this, Lux always answers the same: “What's the fun in just telling you all the answers? Getting handed all the answers is dreadfully boring, don't you think?”

Employment
Works as an Idol, putting on shows and making TV appearances. Lux is a solo act, and her popularity is steadily growing each day.

Habitual Liar: Finds it uncomfortable to be fully honest, especially if it leaves them in a vulnerable position
Likes & Dislikes
LIKES:
- Theater: Has an everlasting love for theater.
- Glitz and glitter: Lux is an absolute sparkle gremlin. If it's glittery, they want it. Tends to hoard small trinkets.
- Their fans: Lux is always happy to see their fans!
- Mocktails: Drinks them religiously.
DISLIKES:
- Snowmen.
- Severe aversion to touch, especially when taken by surprise and/or by unfamiliar people
- Alcohol. People tend to get a little touchy when Lux got drunk, thinking that they wouldn't mind when they're drunk.
After one too many uncomfortable situations, they made up a story in an interview about swearing off drinking after a dear friend recently died to alcohol poisoning. It's complete bullshit, but it did the trick.
Also, beer is just glorified wheat juice.
Vices & Personality flaws
Habitual liar: To keep up their alluring mystique, Lux has made a habit of dodging questions and lying about themselves. Also willing to lie to get what they want.
They lie constantly, both on and off the air, to the point where they have trouble actually telling the truth. Lux feels uncomfortable when telling the truth, which (ironically) makes people suspect they're lying.
Hygiene
Extremely clean and hygienic. Although they can adjust their features at will, changeling skin requires a lot of upkeep to stay healthy and maleable, and ensure seamless transitions with no ill effects.
Due to this, Lux has an extremely complicated skincare routine that consists of 26 steps and takes around 45 minutes to complete. Although skincare is a normal thing among changelings, Lux's is definitely on the extreme side.
Social
Family Ties
Her mother and father live in a lavish manor off in the contryside. Lux visits them regularly.
Religious Views
Mannerisms
Speech
- has a flamboyant and animated way of speaking
- Calls basically everyone by pet names. Only calls people they're really close with by name
Wealth & Financial state
has a substantial amount of money, but most of the funds are locked behind the producers of the game show. They managed to smuggle a sizeable chunk of it, though.
A shining name in neon lights, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn't heard the name of Lux Silvers.
