Rather than being terrified at the news of a failed changeling invasion, Trixie was intrigued by the idea of a race of illusionists. If there was one thing she could respect, it was a convincing illusion. As soon as she heard they made their home in the Badlands, her path was clear.

Days later, she hasn't learned any magic. Strangely, she's found that she doesn't mind.

(The OC tag refers to a changeling.)
