Your talents can make you the star of any show. You can make even the smallest, most brief window of time feel spectacular and brilliant to any viewer. Many people can remember you with ease because of this. Which can be a blessing and a curse as well. You may have someone following you along your journey, but it’s almost impossible to hide you from the world without someone noticing.
Suggested Characteristics
A performer can be a person of any origin. But each origin shapes the performer. Perhaps they act in plays to escape their reality. They write and sing folk songs about their species history to show their pride in their heritage. Or they just love the pretty makeup and costumes.
