Powers
Minor Mask - Trickery may need to look like many creatures, objects or people in order to successfully pull pranks. As this power stands so far, Tien can take a general form of anything she wants (it can’t be a specific individual to be impersonating them). It doesn’t have to follow physics, the mask allows her to be small as a mouse or big as a house…but it only lasts a handful of hours if she pushes it. The less similar to her own shape, the more energy it takes her to maintain it. Close scrutiny also reveals that all is not as it may seem with the see creature. The mask doesn’t affect smells, tracks left, or other tells that have given away pranksters over the millennia.
Simple Prop - When playing tricks, a trickster might need some supplies. Tien can summon to her any one, simple item for her tricks (ex: a bucket for her to fill with water, a bunch of bananas for the peels, a length of rope to be a trip line) The item exists until the trick/prank is sprung, and then it vanishes.

Morgan Elizabeth Grant was eighteen years old when she fell through the portal to Gaia from Earth on the way home from a gaming session. She was in a rush and decided to take a short cut home through the alleyways, which she thought she knew well. After a day of wandering lost in a village on Gaia she was found by Crispin and his Dragon King, Shaiming. Like a knight in shining armor (albeit in training) he brought to the pantheon to stay with them until they could find a way home for her.She fell in love with Crispin, despite his attempts to dissuade her against the notion (even though he loved her too) because he might not be around much longer. Shaiming made a promise to her one night while Crispin slept: to do what he could to preserve the boy once the time had come but he could make no guarantees. When the time finally came Morgan spent several frightening hours in her room while she waited to see the outcome. Her heart skipped a beat when Tian Yue showed up at her door and she silently thanked Shaiming for what he had done.
They were able to spend quite a bit of time together before the shoe ended up on the other foot so to speak. One day Morgan wandered downstairs to find Harmodius on the couch in the guise of a handsome youth. He pressed Trickery's gem to her arm and began her trip down the rabbit hole.

Asherah, the Black Cat Aoide; The Black Cat was the only aoide in the Commedia Dell'Arte's service before the Fading. She fell asleep and woke up in the body of a plushie, which she proceeded to 'hatch' from. Asherah once masqueraded as Nebula, entering into the service of Tian Yue to be close to her mistress before her rebirth.She is less catlike than some of the other aoide who share her face, but she will fall back into more feline behavior when upset or angered. Otherwise she is rather outspoken and forward, unless ettiquette dictates otherwise.
Gul, the Faun Aoide; The goat girl was found among the troupe that Tien stayed with during the time she slept. Apparently she had come to live among the group in earlier days and had spent her life as a wanderer, learning the ways bard and dancer. She discovered her true purpose when Asherah sighted her as another of her kind. Gul tended to the sleeping Tien in Asherah's absense.
She has a very fair voice, but rarely uses when she is not singing; preferring to let her body language do the talking instead.
Kaulu, the Serpent; The fox colored serpent is Tien's constant companion. She was a gift from another divine log ago, though she does not recall who. Kaulu obeys the Trickster's commands and protects her in times when her blades are of no use.
She is nearly always on the Tien's person and if not she is usually found somewhere very close by. The serpent has the uncanny ability to blend in with her surroundings, often appearing only out of necessity.

Plots & To Do List!
Youth
A "youth", the third stage of the Edelsteine, is the deity reborn. This means that everything is now the deity's, it is their mind, their body, their soul now.
-the original host character, provided they have not been destroyed by the deity, only exists as a whisper, a conscience, or a voice in the mind of the deity. None of their powers remain. They cannot control the body. They were sacrificed for the rebirth of the deity, and if they still exist in that smallest sense, it was only at the desire of the immortal whom is beyond their puny mortal comprehension. Maybe a mannerism of the host, such as sucking on their hair, or liking the color blue, is still apparent. But not much beyond that.
-These creatures have minor powers associated with their fields of influence.
-These creatures are NOT AT THEIR FULL STRENGTH. A youth deity is a deity with no followers, no believers, no influx of any human regard to return them to their full glory and power. Just as lack of followers or cult is what made them forgotten and killed them, it is what keeps them from becoming great and powerful again.
-Certifications include powers to avoid excessive God-modding.
Requirements:
morph to youth
