Thal Ringling is a shapeshifting jester made of rubber, who can turn into any carnivoran mammal. They love making people laugh or impressing them, and uses their skills and limited magic powers in comedy, balancing, juggling, ribbon dancing, pyrotechnics, and escape artistry to do this. They're generally pretty goofy, but are also perfectly capable of being rude, witty, or serious. They've got a sweet tooth and a habit of dancing from place to place and striking poses, even when nobody is around. They sometimes have intrusive thoughts, but performing puts them into a really calm headspace, in addition, they try to listen to guided meditation recordings. Often when they're practicing their escape artistry, they'll get tied up and listen to a guided meditation or a podcast, and then ease themself out of the headspace while escaping, but sometimes when they can't escape they're too stoic to admit it, and won't let their assistant untie them until they're hungry or they've passed out. The few times they've gotten in a fight, they've used their magic to tie the opponent up and escape, since they're a big softy. They say they like spicy food but they can't actually handle it. They watch lets plays more often than they play video games.
they've got a kinda skinny athletic build, like an acrobat
they can only change color and species while sleeping, so they can't just do that to cheat at escape artistry
