A child, that is not so innocent.
On the outside, she is much similar to a child – immature, playful and happy with no worries. Though she is not the explosively energetic type but takes on more of a cheerful serenity. Some consider her a pest because of her immature, sometimes quite bizarrely unpredictable acts, and occasionally she will verbally antagonise people with this composed yet dumb demeanour in a childish manner, while others may see her as a sweet youth with her innocent playfulness which may or may not attract trouble. Other times she is outright annoying with her incessant complaining about insignificant subjects, random acts of mischief and worst of all, she never learns from her troublesome behaviour even if it came to having a whole bunch of people wanting revenge on her.
But this is just a disguise or perhaps, one of her many disguises?
The consequences of her immaturity are never taken seriously because she is much too carefree and wants the freedom to do anything. With this she is unaffected by most others, keeping a firm composure or she might just be hiding behind a disguise, and while she may strongly be associated with society, she does not feel a connectedness to them in terms of emotionally, therefore she deems her relationships as not true bonds and instead manipulates them. Envie has somewhat lost her sense of true self, maybe due to her disconnectedness to people or her own deceit. Even if it’s not in or something of her nature, she acts out of her accordance for her own intentions of manipulation.
Envie could be the most comfortable person to talk to but maybe just be the worst person to trust because she is the puppet master controlling her puppet show for her own entertainment. In a subtle fashion, she deceives without attracting attention to herself and instead draws it to her puppets where the drama, or rather the chaos, is performed, thus her deceitful nature is often overlooked. What gives her the ability to draw up manipulative games could be explained by her complex intellect which is insightful and analytical, directing her to planned out manipulations though her predictions may never always come true but that just makes the show even more interesting, even more so if her puppets break.
It's all about the fun for a child.
__________________________________________________
She does not like or dislike anything in particular, she is simply in the neutral zone and does whatever she wants but she seems to have quite the curiosity to try anything. Well, just for the sake of it, she tends to like kid games, dress-ups, circus-related things such as juggling, and as for dislikes she is not fond of paperwork or having to put a lot of hard effort into something to put it generally.
Since she originated from a circus background, she has some acrobatic and other circus talents.
__________________________________________________
Tricksters can create illusions but her ability to do so has not developed far; she cannot produce illusions within dreams but only out of them and they are usually no bigger than the size of a book. Considering the extent of her power, she would only probably use it for playful or troublesome purposes.
__________________________________________________
From birth, she has been part of her travelling circus family who sacrificed everything and performed almost everyday but it was always very rewarding at the end of the day. The circus life was fun yet required hard hours of work and her family of a father and other older relatives were closely knitted but like all families, they had their stressful days and fights. Envie was home schooled while migrating from place to place, and with this frequent movement, it was never possible to make lasting friendships with outsiders. Maybe that's why she isn't devoted or feels connected to relationships and manipulates them.
In the performances, she was used for acrobatic acts and involved in scenes with the family's clown, the uncle - he was quite fun and primarily the one who she got her childishness from. As she was the youngest and only child of the troupe, she was often bored when the adults were well, behaving serious and all adult-like, so she became a bit mischievous and troublesome sometimes. Then it was discovered that she had illusionary powers and she started playing childish mind games with them.
Later, the circus travelling troupe were not receiving large crowds in their tents but even so, the show must go on! It didn’t though because they eventually could not sustain themselves without the incoming profit anymore and so the family separated to settle into different lifestyles, only occasionally visiting one another. Her father was born in Honey Tree Town when the circus troupe had passed by then a long while ago, and so he and Envie (aged 14) returned there to live. It was actually very confronting to transit from a nomadic circus life to a stationary town life.
She went to the school in that town and to be with strangers for more than a day was also a very different concept for her. It was slow at first but then she found some companions as they were interested in her acrobatic circus life. For her whole life since the beginning, she had only knew her family and could relate to them well but when it came to outsiders that suddenly came into her life, for some reason, it seemed harder to connect to them. She was often playfully teasing the people around her and was also the class clown which later turned into something else that marks her behaviour today. And she was definitely troublesome but usually escaped angry teachers with an innocent smile. With that, it grew into manipulative behaviour to achieve her intentions and when there were people who prevented that, she wouldn’t forfeit and always tried to find a way around it. She never stopped being manipulative because she was confident in it, and as she couldn't connect to people, they became her puppets.
There is only one person that she does not dare to manipulate and that is her father. Family are different to outsiders.
