Ontari

Um, hi. I'm Ontari. Most people only ever see me when I'm... someone else. A knight, a cyborg, a queen... I can be anyone, really. I spent so long learning how to be them, how to speak and breathe and dream like them, that sometimes I forget how to just be me.

It's not that I'm faking it. When I put on a costume, I become that character. Their voice comes up, their feelings flow through me... it's wonderful, but it's scary too. Because when the fabric comes off, I don't always know which Ontari is left behind. I'm fragile when I'm just me.

But if you're here, maybe you're one of the few who likes me even when I'm not performing. I don't ask for much... just someone to see through the masks. I do make my own costumes—that's the one part of this I truly own. I hope you like them.

I can show you a dozen different versions of myself... or I can just sit here quietly. Which one would you prefer today?
