Personality
Trick takes their job as a guide very seriously, although it had a tendency to bring people where they ought to be, rather than where they want to be. Trick has an innate prescience for knowing "right place, right time", one it doesn't rightly understand itself. The desire to make things happen often overrides Trick's ability to think through a situation logically, which has occasionally left it vulnerable to bad review when a client isn't inclined to follow it off the beaten path. Trick also has an awry sense of humor and enjoys playing pranks (mostly harmless) on fellow Mwari station residents. Its appearance can be unnerving - Trick tends to pop in the strangest places with no sign or warning. It loves hanging out in dark corners where it has no right to be. This, accompanied by its inability to speak (telepathically or verbally) makes it a spooky fellow to encounter on a dark night. But Trick bares no ill-intentions toward anyone and is relatively harmless.Despite its limitations for communication, Trick has expressive body language and finds a way to get its point across. It's playful and whimsical, often bouncing merrily around its friends and chasing after its own lantern light. It loves attention and affection and has no qualms against demanding it when the fancy strikes. It collects shiny baubles and will do just about anything for a rare bit of fairy glass or interesting trinket.
Background

It was just there one day and presented itself as a tour guide.It's not even certain how anyone knows its name is Trick. The knowledge just pops into people's heads when they meet it.
