Name: Masaharu Niou, Witch of Illusions
Age: Around 600 (appears as 15)
Species: Voyager Witch
Personality: Prank-loving and constantly looking to get a reaction from others, Niou can be hard to get along with sometimes. However, his attitude is usually fairly affable and he takes a casual tone with pretty much everyone. Niou can be very fickle in his affections and often times will seem to have warmed considerably to someone, only to ignore them entirely the next moment. Since he bores easily, the constant threat of death looms over him and he will go to great lengths to combat it. While most of his pranks are relatively harmless, there have been times where he's caused physical harm or strong emotional distress to the victims of his tricks. Even so, he shows few signs of remorse beyond the initial "I didn't mean for that to happen." While he likes being able to get a rise out of people, he tires quickly of those who rile too easily and has the longest relationships with those who manage to play his game as well as he does.
Backstory: Niou was born to a well-off family but mostly ignored by his parents. He started doing things to intentionally surprise and draw reactions from people as a way to get more attention from them, but they eventually got tired of his antics and started spending more time away from the house. In retaliation, he also started spending more time away from the house, often staying out very late at night, occasionally not even returning home and instead staying with friends until their parents kicked him out. It was during this period of his life that he discovered magic at a late night show he had managed to sneak into. As he read about magic, he realized that it could be so much more than simple tricks and he began practicing it himself. His magic was ultimately unable to produce the happiness that he desired however, and so he continued to practice more and grow stronger until he was able to leave the Fragment he lived in behind as a Voyager and search the vast Sea of Fragments for an exciting life where he could forget about his old human life. It was in this vast Sea of Fragments that he came across Eli's Game...
Connection to Ayashima: Niou came to observe the Game Board Ayashima. He will seek the Golden Witch's permission, of course.
Magical abilities, if any: Niou has the ability to create vivid illusions to deceive people. However, he cannot create illusions of impossible things and the more people are around, the less elaborate he can make his illusions. He can also take on the form and voice of anyone he has met. This illusion will be broken if he acts in a way that the person he's imitating never would, so it limits the actions he can take while disguised.
Love interest, if any: Unplayed Character (We'll say he has a lover who does not appear in this Fragment. Therefore, I will not ship him with anyone in this RP.)
