A shining name in neon lights, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn't heard the name of Lux Silvers.
Love them or hate them, you'd be hard-pressed to find a city where no one knows the name of Lux Silvers.
A performer that made their debut on the popular reality TV show 'rising stars', Lux quickly rose to stardom with their quick wit and enchanting performances.
But the most alluring thing about Lux is neither their looks nor their personality- but the seemingly endless layers of mystery surrounding them.
Layers of lies surround Lux, trapping people like flies stuck in a spider's web. As Lux spins their webs, it seems like they become more and more irresistible with every thread of silk.
But the question remains: is Lux spinning a cocoon, or a prison? And what will Lux do when the ghosts of their past finally come to hunt them down?

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?”
Education
extensive training in all aspects of showmanship.
Knowledge about child care (though she hates to use it)
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.
Lux also has and array of merchandise, ranging from clothing and makeup to plushies.
The makeup line is the most popular, advertising that it can give you the ability to change your face, just like a changeling could. There's a conspiracy that the product turns your bones to goo, which lets you reshape your face, but there's nothing conclusive yet.

Personality
Savvies & Ineptitudes
SAVVIES
Social chameleon: Able to seamlessly adapt to the social environment of any given group or place, from snobbish millionaires to street urchins.
Entertainer: Knows how to keep people's attention, one way or another.
INEPTITUDES
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.

Mannerisms
habitually fixing small details about their appearance:
When Lux was starting out their career, the producers had several assistants constantly hovering around them to keep Lux looking pristine.
Lux absolutely despised this, every single imperfection in his appearance causing someone to dive in like a harpy to fix it without any warning.
Lux is averse to touch, especially when taken by surprise, so this was not a great combo.
Over time, Lux figured out how to keep themself looking immaculate at all times, and it's developed into a habit.

- Calls basically everyone by pet names. Only calls people they're really close with by name
