Mirage is a superhero and member of the Starchild Sorority.
Appearance
Mirage is a Korean woman in her early twenties. She has long, black hair, parted in the middle, framing her round face and brown eyes so dark their colour is almost indistinguishable from the colour of her hair.
Like her sisters, she has pale skin. One significantly different trait that sets her apart from them is her more curvaceous figure as opposed to their more thin and willowy figures. Her Mark of the Starchild is on her left thigh, coloured dark grey and resembling the constellation Cancer.
Her superhero costume consists of a black leotard with her symbol on the front, a dark grey hooded cape, a utility belt of the same colour, and a pair of black boots.
Under the effects of Celestial Cloak, she wears a short, white dress, which reveal her shoulders, with grey, pulsating lines running across it, black gloves, and black boots. Her cape becomes black, as does the blade of her scythe. The handle of her scythe becomes white. She is followed by a pair of fireballs, one black and the other white, which becomes her wings when she is flying.
As a teenager, Mirage often has her hair tied in a ponytail with a purple ribbon.
Personality
Mirage's experience with ghosts and their victims made her a pacifist, wishing to end all fighting and suffering in the world by becoming a Superhero. Due to her pacifism, she prefers to subdue her opponents with illusions than actually fight them.
Eunwol shares her father's interest in the occult. However, she went further than he ever did in the matter, as she was born with her Spiritual Eye open, studying enough to make her a decent exorcist. She enjoys conversing with harmless ghosts every once in a while. She also has an interest in vampires, and has even asked her sisters to be turned. Both twins refused, wary of the results of a Starchild being turned.
She has shown considerable talent and interest in music, something she shares with her mother. Unlike Hyewon, however, she is not just able to play the guitar, but also write songs and play the piano. While she is normally quiet and reserved, when she does talk, she shows no effort in hiding her interest darkness and other related concepts, using a dramatic and flowery pattern of speech, albeit to a lesser extent than she does in her lyrics. Despite her black Qì and interest in dark concepts, she has shown no villanous tendencies so far. In contrast, her colour comes from her strong desire for self-expression and creative pursuits.
She enjoys sitting in high places to watch the moon, especially when full.
History
Background
Eunwol was born in the Imperial Harem from concubine and former rock guitarist Na Hyewon. Growing up in such a luxurious facility where all her needs are catered to as long as she behaved led her to constant boredom, leading her to pursuit of the different interests she has now. Her father took note of her curiosity on the occult and decided to give her material on the subject. Sometimes, out of extreme boredom, she would often stretch or take on acrobatic poses as she went through them, inadvertedly using and sharpening her second talent.
Interdimensional Incident
Mirage appeared in the Interdimensional Incident, in her partner's van looking for an address, presumably that of a client in need of her exorcism services, four months before the Drechan invasion.
Qìnéng and Abilities
Qìnéng
Memory Lane
Being a telepathic Qìnéng, Memory Lane allows Mirage to read and manipulate the minds of others, as well as mentally communicate with them.
The unique Power of Memory Lane, however, allows Mirage to summon and control Memories, copies of people based on her or a target's memories of them. While these copies retain their personalities and any abilities, including their Shuneng, they still generally carry out her bidding.
Abilities
Exorcism
Mirage is knowledgeable on exorcism and purification rituals, both on inanimate objects and on living creatures.
Hyperthymesia
Mirage has hyperthymesia, allowing her to retain extensive amounts of information in great detail, which, considering the nature of her Shùnéng and her role in Starchild Sorority, is extremely helpful.
Multilingualism
Mirage can speak English and understands some Chinese and Indonesian.
Spiritual Eye
Mirage was born with her Spiritual Eye open, allowing her to see and interact with ghosts. While initially uncontrollable, she has learned to open and shut it at will.
Weaknesses
While spiritually powerful, Mirage is lacking in physical combat compared to other heroes of her level.
For a superhero of her level, she has a small Qì reserves and requires significant rest after three uses of Sunset Dream a day. This has prevented her from participating in prolonged battles.
Due to having an open Spiritual Eye, Mirage is more susceptible to possession.
Creation and Conception
The earliest concept for Mirage was from Amenria's 2014-2015 version, which is a woman of similar age who can bring life to drawings instead of summoning Memories. Unlike the current iteration, she didn't have a name and had light brown hair and a similar build as the the vampire twins. This concept was dropped before it can be refined into a proper character, with a related Shùnéng given to Canvas.
A brooding, poetic Starchild Sorority character named Akane appeared in-game in a thread by AHSCA. She has been scrapped.
Mirage as a concept was revisited in 2018-2019. By this time, her Shùnéng was already the same as the current version, but was planned to either wield a whip, two sickles, or a unique weapon that consists of a polearm with two curved blades (akin to a scythe), one on each end, which can be split into two sickles joined by a chain.
One night in July 2021, a RMD received a "flash of inspiration", resulting in the current and final iteration's personality, attire, and more detailed set of abilities. She was planned to have a submachine gun in addition to her scythe, but was scrapped because it was both thematically incoherent with her concept and because it was deemed "excessive for someone who doesn't (directly) fight much".
Trivia
- Mirage's design is influenced by that of the Grim Reaper.
- Other inspirations for her design are Lucy Loud from the cartoon series The Loud House and Raven from DC Comics. The latter is also voiced by Tara Strong in the animated series Teen Titans.
