Rhearn is, relatively speaking, a genius of her own trade. With her it's all pop pop pop, like shooting guns in a range for the first time. An exileration that comes from finding your passion and holding it between your hands, molding the features of the future into sentient form.

She likes to evade notice while all eyes are on her, tempting the slightest trick of hand right before an audiences eyes, there and so ever omnipresent yet so blindly out of clear focus. It's easy to lie to people when all they're looking for is wonder, splendor... The art of trickery and the way to find weird things, that's what drew her in. Booming lights surrounded by expressive eyes kept her there.
was the exploitive // her attention there.

Name:Sapphira. Often goes by Sapph, Sapphie or of course, Sapphie the great.

Gender:Demigirl. She/Her, They/Them pronouns.

|Why Do They Love To Perform
|Sapphira loves to perform, really! Why, exactly? It's actually, simply to impress the girls. She loves to hear their giggles as she presents
|them with a extravagant bouquet of flowers that have protruded from her wand, seemingly like magic. Of course, Sapphira knows
|her magic tricks aren't truly real-but she likes that her fans think so. Sapphira loves the awed looks on their pretty faces as a dove
|emerges from the smoke, or when she... 'disappears' into the shadows. Often, people think Sapphira is selfish because she
|does it to impress girls she likes-but she shrugs it off. Because quite frankly, Sapphira would much prefer that the girls like her,
|than the girls not like her-while Sapphira becomes a better person by not doing it for attention. Sapphira had always been a sucker
|for any type of positive attention, so when heaps of it was offered at once-and just because she could make herself disappear, she
|started her passion for performing her tricks. Sapphira does get rather jealous if someone else impresses her fans,
| and will constantly be a little bit of an upstager. If her competition can saw a lady in half-well Sapphira can saw herself in half! Is it
| dangerous? very. But will it get people hyped for her shows, and she'll get more chance of a bigger fan base? Most definitely.

| Known as Sapphie the great, she often claims that the girls (And others, of course. It's most directed towards the girls, though.)
| Can call her Saph. And quite often, they do. Part of the reason she loves her job is because she gets so much love-
| when she's performing, and when she's not. Often fan-mail will come through, and no matter who it is, Sapphira treasures it.
| She'll read it over and over again until she can recite the words perfectly, and she'll make each letter a custom stamp before
| putting it in her treasure chest beside her bed. Whenever she gets hate, she'll always read a letter from her chest, and then
| well, Sapphira just forgets it. because she knows for every one person who hates her, there are ten who love her-and she
| makes sure they know that they are appreciated.
XxxxxxxxXXXXXXxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxXXXXXXxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxXXXXXXxxxxxxxxXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|Sapphira is often known for randomly approaching fans who have been having bad days and starting to talk to them like they are old friends. |Sapphira can do it because they're fans-and they know her. This is actually a big part of why she enjoys her job-all the new friends, and the |possibility that she could meet the one while doing this. Sapphira is actually quite uncomfortable talking face to face with strangers, but now |she sees it as they're not strangers-just potential fans. So her job has done a lot for her. Really, Sapphira couldnt love her job more, after all |it does for her-and no matter how much money she is offered, Sapphira never plans to change her job. As a magician at 'Seashores magic |and meals', she couldn't be happier.

Favorite Magic Trick:Sapphira's favourite magic trick is making flowers sprout from the end of her wand. It was one of the first ones she had learnt- And was taught it by her friend. Magic was a faze throughout the school, so when she came and showed the class it, they praised her, and soon, Sapphira became very popular. So she paraded around, showing the trick over and over again-nobody seemed to get tired of it. It's always been a classic with her since then, and she always starts each show with that exact trick-giving it to one lucky person it the crowd. If there's a kid she can see, she makes sure it's that kid exactly-especially if they seem upset. Sapphira knows it often cheers people up, just with how simple it is-it's refreshing after seeing the other acts-they're usually all full on, and not much interaction. Sapphira makes sure it's got some rests, but some extremely dangerous parts. And, most of it requires assistants, and she often gives gifts to the crowd. Really, Sapphira makes sure you get your moneys worth for her show-although it's actually quite cheap, she makes sure-well, travelling to it was worth it. But still, her classic always stays-the flower from the wand trick. How she does it? A magician never reveals their secrets, do they? Especially not about their favourite acts.

◯ favorite magic trick;
Cups and orbs is considered to truly be 'the oldest trick in the
book'. This trick involves making three balls pass through the
sides and bottoms of three cups having them jump from
cup to cup, so that they disappear and reappear. Tek enjoys
this trick because the routine involves some of magic’s
most fundamental effects and skills. It's a simple trick,
but is sometimes considered hard to master. However,
mastering it is considered a good education in magic
or a rite of passage for a performer, since it includes
many needed elements that need to be learned before
one begins in magic, such as misdirection, dexterity,
transpositions and vanishes. She's obsessed with classic
tricks, intrigued by their simplistic but tricky nature.
Even her most often used costume is a classical witch
facade. Tek often starts her acts by quietly performing
this trick, rapidly switching cups before lifting them all
up to reveal it's no longer on the table; but in her hat
instead. Cracking open the orb, she finds her wand inside
despite it being much larger than the ball. Tapping it on
the table, the cups are gone with a flash of smoke,
and the show begins!

◯ why does she love to perform;
It was the science behind it that got Tek involved with magic. It amazed her how others would watch so carefully, determined to spot the secret, yet were left without answers no matter how hard they focused. Even with the old, classical performances, the tricks would weave into believable lies. She watched shows with awe, intrigued as to how they so easily tricked the mind into thinking something that seemed so obviously false. So, with curiosity intact, she decided to try it for herself to see how difficult it actually was.
Tek loves the technicality of her acts. No two magicians perform exactly the same way, and she loves that. She enjoys learning how different performers do the same trick, but in slightly differing ways so that it's truly their own. Being able to try new things in front of an audience to gauge their reactions lets her know what works and what doesn't, so that she can move on to a newer technique if needed, like a scientist. She has a horrible habit of needing to perfect things, which ties into her favorite trick. Knowing that it was fundamental starting point, she worked to master it as soon as possible before she moved on, wondered by how malleable even the oldest tricks were. Performing in front of others allows her to teach in a very fun way, explaining her motions without the use of words.
Watching puzzled viewers search for her when she vanishes from sight always makes her laugh, hopping from place to place without any time in between, almost as if she teleported there. Strangers eagerly awaiting for her to begin puts a smile on Tek’s face every time, the feeling of being able to tease out joy, fear and anticipation in her crowd making her feel confident. A master of manipulation and misdirection, she plays with the emotions of her audience. Nothing makes Tek happier than watching people exit her performances with confusion plastered over their face, gushing about her magic and struggling to figure out how in the world she did it.
She often incorporates her costumes into her shows as well. Throughout the seasons, she’ll change up her outfit so that she looks her best for the current aesthetic that her stage has. Just as she loves the science behind magic, she loves the psychology behind aesthetics, planning her facade changes so she can create the mood she wants for certain acts. Knowing she made a memorable impression with her own character and charm is what truly keeps Tek anchored in her career.
