[hider=Appearance:][img=http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/083/b/1/The_Illusionist_by_lady_amarillis.jpg][/hider]

Age: 75, appears to be in her thirties

Personality:
One word: Showoff. Margot is an illusionist, and as such likes to make an impression on people and their senses. She loves the performing part of her job the most, and feasts on the sound of applause. This of course can go to her head, at times making her look rather self-important and boasting, although she most of the time is like that in joking manner. On personal level she is just looking for some appreciation.

Likes:
Being the center of attention, sweets, green tea, expensive items

Dislikes:
Loneliness, boredom, being overlooked, anything lower on evolutionary scale than a fish

Backstory/History:
Born as the only child in a filthy rich family, Margaret was expected to do great things like her ancestors. Unfortunately, she never quite managed to live up to her father's expectations of being a noblewoman, always being "good enough" but never great. 

When she reached the age when she could jsut leave on her own, she did. Initially she did common jobs such as being a maid, however during this part of her life she discovered her talent for making illusions. Initially being just able to alter the perception of things, she soon learned how to make someone believe something that isn't even there.

Realizing her power had some potential, she had enough moral integrity not to use it for crime, although it was indeed tempting. Longing for success and crowds liking her like her father never did, she started performing on the streets, eventually finding her way to the Troupe.
