changeling Luxuria [Ready]

[RarityDash]

Name: Luxuria

Gender: female

Age: adult

Species: changeling

Eye colour: soft pink in color; solid, no irises as per most changelings

Character colour: same dark, black-ish gray as most changelings. The area along her back is a dark red.

Mane/Tail/Other: Has a long and surprisingly lush bright pink mane and tail. She makes use of a lot of mane styles, typically chosen to suit her purposes. By default, it's worn in lose twintails tied with two small black bows. Her tail is also full and styled into a large single curl. Small holes are visible toward the ends in both the mane and tail

Physique: Luxuria's shape is comparable to a queen, with long thin legs and similarly shaped body. She is not quite as tall as a queen though, and, tellingly, her horn is much shorter, similar in size to any other changeling, though slightly straighter. Her translucent wings are just slightly above average in size, to make up for her taller frame and are a similar pink to her mane. The holes in her legs are smaller but more frequent than average and go all the way up her legs but become less common toward her torso.

Residence: The Kingdom of Changelings

Occupation: Entertainer, agent of the Hive.

Cutie Mark: N/A

Unique Traits: Luxuria though not a queen and far less powerful than one, has a similar figure, making her quite attractive by changeling standards. This, along with her cunning and playful personality, gives her an uncanny ability to excite and entice others in the hive, something she is not shy to use to her advantage.

While about average when it comes to offensive magics, few can match her when it comes to shape shifting. She can change quickly and with great detail to her disguises, able to even mimic fancy clothing on sight.

History: Luxuria had a fairly average upbringing in the changelings' kingdom. Throughout her youth, she didn't stand out much, either in looks or personality. She was just another changeling, only notable for being perhaps too mild-mannered, having no real desire to drain other creatures of their love.

As she approached adulthood, a sudden growth spurt ended Luxuria's days of not standing out from the hive. Suddenly she had a figure comparable to a changeling queen, which brought with it a lot of attention she hadn't gotten before. Noticing how easy it now was to get others to do as she wanted, Luxuria's genial nature also quickly corroded under the weight of her quickly ballooning ego. The young Luxuria came to the all important realization that she adored the attention of others, which lead to increasing vanity and sense of entitlement.

Entering adulthood, increasingly convinced of her own greatness, but bored of the dull and predictable changelings of the kingdom, Luxuria decided to journey and see the world beyond. Over the course of a few years, she traveled throughout Aquellia and Equestria learning how to use her shape shifting practically while also learning much of their cultures, and of course, how to acquire as much love as possible to feast upon. It was a fascinating and useful experience for her, and one that honed her gifts in numerable ways. Learning of Equestrian high fashion while in Canterlot, Luxuria found exciting new ways to customize her look while a pair of luxurious black bows she picked up then became her favorite accessories.

Luxuria in her travels, eventually heard tell of the invasion of Canterlot perpetrated by her Queen. Impressed by the bold act, she decided it was time to return home and rejoin the hive, though she brought back with her much of what she learned in her travels. She has since set herself up in the kingdom as an entertainer of sorts at a sort of changeling lounge, singing to crowds while using her shape shifting skills to create many different looks and outfits.

In time, she participated in an invasion attempt of her own under her queen, when the order was given to invade the small town of Ponyville. Through a stroke of bad luck and the perseverance of her opponents, she was overwhelmed, defeated and ultimately repelled from the town by powerful magic.

Character Summary: Luxuria is a very passionate changeling. She is not one to hesitate more than is necessary, and is good at throwing her very all into whatever it is she does. She is a cunning and intelligent changeling who is very adept at figuring out how to get what she wants and also a fairly effective leader when in a group.

Luxuria is, however, best described as a narcissist. She is overly concerned with vanity and seems to believe the world revolves around her getting her way. She is, in short, exceedingly entitled and egotistical. She has little concern for others, including and especially other changelings. In her mind, others exist only as a source to feed her ravenous hunger for love and attention.

This makes her somewhat fickle in terms of loyalty. She respects the Queen to an extent, but she resents the idea that she is just some lower changeling and at times sees herself as an equal to her. She's the type to stay loyal to the hive when it's to her benefit and flake off when things go poorly or she starts to get bored.

She is a manipulative changeling, who expects others to listen to her and do as she says. She is not normally especially violent, but being defied can cause her to become quite temperamental and vicious. Should anyone challenge her for the limelight, she is prone to intense envy and is liable to lash out relentlessly in an attempt to destroy the opposition.

Luxuria has an interest in other lands, species and cultures. She is particularly interested in clothing and fashion and other ways to make herself appear more striking and beautiful. She spends a lot of time honing her shape shifting ability so as she can quickly and accurately mimic her favorite trends and styles. She enjoys learning whatever it is she can so as to turn as many heads as possible.

As changelings go, Luxuria can also be considered fairly spirited. She hates being downcast, and seldom gets moody, going to anger and other big emotions far, far quicker than she ever goes to glum and sadness. She likes to see others having a good time too, especially if it's a result of her. She has a fondness for music due to the effects it can have on mood, and is proud of her warm singing voice.
