Name: Mimic
Name Meaning(s): "to imitate", matching her personality and the power she would have.
Gender: Female
Prompt:
Mimic would, unironically, be a shape-shifter. The ability to physically transform one's self into the form of another. The potential is endless. It could be used to travel, steal, get away with anything, pull pranks or start a whole new life. However, there's only one thing Mimic would do with the power, and it's something she already does.
You see, Mimic lives inside her imagination. She's a pretender. Since she was a pup, the collie has been fascinated with the creatures in their world and the lives they may live. Thought her life she's been through a phase of pretending to be almost every animal.
Birds, with their dream like power of flight, right on their wingtips. Wolves, with their deadly teeth and packs to protect. Cats, with their stealth, skill and hunting abilities. Horses, with fields to gallop and gravity defying jumps.
Mimic would play games as pets or wild creatures, show horses or ones escaping capture. The majority of times she competes in agility, it wasn't as a dog, but as a horse.
If the power of shape-shifting were rightly placed into her paws, Mimic would use it to play. Her games would become real, and the sensations she'd chased all her life would finally be in her heart. Soaring through the air as an eagle, stalking the undergrowth as a wild cat, or racing the wind as a horse.
Because Mimic has never seen life as endless opportunities to chase and trap, fighting to keep them slipping through her paws. She's not striving for power or fame or greatness. Mimic just wants to live in the stories she spins in her head. Life is a game, waiting to be played.
