Donau is my player character for a City of Mist campaign. She is a theatre actress who lives in a late 19th century flying steampunk city. From the magical Mist residing in this city, she gained the powers to shape-shift any material she touches, including herself. After getting to know her new abilities a bit more, she now uses them in her theatric performances; be it turning into a whole another character or changing her costumes on the go. As crazy as these may sound, luckily the Mist alters how normal people perceive her magical show, leaving Donau only the fame of it. ̶M̶a̶y̶ ̶h̶a̶u̶n̶t̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶b̶y̶ ̶t̶u̶r̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶ ̶f̶l̶e̶s̶h̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ Fun fact: Donauwelle is a German cake. (Castella was a cake as well) cake

Stage actress Maude Adams, the LGBTQ icon who (allegedly) was the inspiration for Peter Pan. Though she was never publicly “out”, she never married, and had many close female friendships throughout her life. Including Ethel Barrymore (Yes from the illustrious Barrymore family—the most recent being Drew).
Maude was very popular with female audiences, and due to her disinterest in men, her chastity helped her to maintain a pristine reputation throughout her life. She was often rumored to be engaged to men as an effective “smokescreen” to shield her from rumors of lesbianism. None of these relationships were anything more than just that—rumors.
After playing Peter Pan on stage, Maude reached monumental levels of stardom for the time, which made having a private life very challenging. She lived with her “secretary” until she died, and both were buried on the same plot.
Maude was a serious actress, who claimed she would never marry due to her dedication to her craft. This was a common excuse for closeted gays in the Victorian era. Her fearlessness, and paradoxically childlike innocence are inspiring to me. She lived a colorful life, and is definitely worth looking into.
