A member of the Masked Fools. Inscrutable and unscrupulous.
A dangerous maestro of theatrics, utterly engrossed in the art of performance. Adorned with innumerable masks, she is the hero with a thousand faces.
Wealth, status, power… None of those matter to Sparkle. The only thing that can get her attention is “amusement.”

The girl, an abandoned orphan, lived without knowledge of her origins or destination until she encountered a passing troupe. From a distance, she watched a black-haired lady with a double ponytail, gracefully moving across the stage like a fish. Despite donning various masks, they did not hinder her laughs and cries during her performance, captivating the audience ever from afar. The fish leaped in front of her, then dove back down, creating ripples in the surface of the water.

Gradually, she realized she was watching performance from beneath the stage.

Intrigued, she continued to watch the performances for countless days, but she remained an audience member, never stepping into the spotlight. After one of the shows ended, she went backstage, where the black-haired lady handed her a mask.
“Can I perform, too?”
“Why not? If others believe you are 'Sparkle', then you are. Go, it's time for your show.”

As the curtain, serving as the fourth wall, was drawn, the stage remained dimly lit, revealing an unsettling black void. Though wearing a mask, she knew the audience could see and hear her. She kept recalling Sparkle's performance, imitating her movements, voice, and demeanor.

“You've done very well for your first time.”
“But my imitation… Was not perfect.”
“That is a minor hiccup, but not a problem as long as nobody notices the difference… By the way, we are leaving tomorrow, so for as long as you want, you are the true Sparkle here, and you can make her whoever you want her to be.”
Sparkle wanted to say something, but the lady affectionately rubbed her head.
“Not many people come to see us, except for you. We're just a small troupe, and we don't have grand aspirations of becoming famous in the cosmos… It brings me joy to meet someone like you who will remember an insignificant character named Sparkle… Don't cry, you can keep this mask. Now it's yours.”
Sparkle nodded.
“When you don this mask, you have the power to become anyone and no one… If you truly aspire to be an actor, don't limit yourself to this small stage. Set your sights on the larger world and explore new horizons.”
