GHOST AGE: 27. CANON: Original! CANON POINT: Around ten years after her involuntary exile into the fantasy universe Ennalore.
ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER:
The fast and dirty shorthand is: Essentially, she's a little bit Chosen One, a little bit isekai protagonist, and a little bit Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, all in one sassy redheaded package.
Ghost is a technical orphan who was "recruited" by an extradimensional organization called The Agency in her very early childhood because she possesses a unique talent — essentially, the ability to warp reality by writing about it in a book. Having personnel on staff who possess this talent is foundational to the functioning of The Agency, and predictably, it's also incredibly rare, hence their, uh...investment in picking her up. Ghost has no memories of life before The Agency and was essentially raised there happily, assuming she'd live out her life learning the art of writing and eventually taking over for her mentor Nym, with her fellow trainee and close friend Meta at her side.
BUT EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN THE FIRE NATION A REALLY DUMB CONSTRUCT THAT META WROTE INTO BEING ATTACKED
In order to escape certain death at the hands of the rampaging creation that Meta had written into being — without including adequate controls such that he could, y'know, control it — Ghost ended up yeeting herself into another universe (long story, pun intended) which turned out to be the fantasy realm of Ennalore. And because she was seventeen with no life skills except being an extremely genre-savvy author in training, she immediately began Connecticut Yankee-ing her way through the fantasy bullshit, breaking curses and solving problems until now, ten years later, she's established herself as the resident authority and subject matter expert of Fantasy Legal Bullshit™. Because I've always thought the idea of a fantasy lawyer is incredibly funny.
Also, everything about her original canon is puns. Her name is a pun. Her friends' names are puns. If there's an opportunity for a pun, you better believe I'm going to take it. I regret nothing.
OF NOTE: One of Ghost's "abilities" is the fact that she carries what I've been shorthanding as Fantasy Diplomatic Immunity™ — it's possible that supernatural creatures might notice that she has a variety of wards, blessings, and protection magics on her, as handed out by the various fantasy races she frequently deals with.

EVENT PLOTTING:
★ PRIZES — Ghost is going to be more than a little obsessed with getting one (or many) of the carnival prizes because they'll remind her of the sorts of toys she had as a child — long story — but she's not any more or less skilled at these types of games than the average everyday carnivalgoer soooo...want to instantly get on her good side? Win her some dumb carnival shit. The more kitschy the better.
★ RIDES — This will actually be the first time she's ever physically been to this type of carnival (despite being aware of them in theory) which means she's going to spend an absolutely ridiculous amount of time on the rides, mostly the merry-go-round. She will probably not ride the extremely rickety Gravitron unless someone cute holds her hand or she's dared to, and even if she does she'll probably ramble the entire time about how it's a liability deathtrap waiting to happen.
★ D...ATES...? — If for some reason you want access to the dank lore that Ghost has a soft spot for True Love™ in the fairytale sense, drag her onto the Tunnel of Love with you and you might get to hear some of her thoughts about it.
★ SHENANIGANS — Like with Thancred, I'm really here for CR-building in general! Carnivals are fun venues for silly threads so let's come up with something!
OTHER PLANS:
★ GETTING ESTABLISHED — Ghost is still new so I'd love to shop for CR for her in general! Her major interests are detailed above but like, in a nutshell, if you're supernatural or like books and/or folklore you've probably got some stuff in common with her.
★ BOOKS — She's going to begin writing stories again in short order! People who are looking for books and/or legal documentation, she's open for business.
