Physical Description
Technically, Never doesn't really have a physical description.

Their seemingly unique ability as a shapeshifter is that they are not actually a shapeshifter-- they just appear to be.

Every person who sees Never sees them differently, and what they see is their ideal version of a human being, whatever they are most aesthetically attracted to: tall, willowy, blonde; short and stocky with russet red hair and bright green eyes; broad-shouldered and lean-muscled, black hair and tanned skin-- anything. Whatever that particular person wants to see.

Never maintains that they don't actually change anything about themselves; and really how could they, when two people could be looking at them at the same time and both would see an entirely different person?

When Never looks in the mirror-- well. If they see something specific, they're not telling.

Personality
Form shapes nature, as the saying goes. Just as Never's physical appearance is different to everyone who sees it, they tend to be a personality-chameleon. Whatever the situation calls for they can adapt themselves to with very little effort.

If simply left to their own devices, they're quick with a joke and slow to anger, if they choose to speak at all.

Magic/Abilities
Other than their "shapeshifting", Never has no magical ability to speak of.

They tend to be very good with people, if that can be considered its own skill, and like most members of Cirque du Fantasma they know their way around a number of weapons--mostly small blades.

Relationships
The members of the circus are all a family.

Of particular note to Never is the Ringmaster, who sometimes seems to see something... something particular when he looks at shapeshifter.

History
Nevari Catralist was born somewhere in the slums of Reajh. They have no idea if the brothel where they were raised was actually their birthplace, but it was home enough until they were nearly fourteen. Their foster family was always relatively open minded about their odd "quirk", but it was a struggle to keep it hidden from clients.

Eventually, they were exposed, and of course it was assumed that the ability was a magical gift in practice, no matter how vehemently Never protested that they had no control over it. Terrified of being sent to a mage camp, or even killed outright, they ran.

Lucky for them, the circus happened to be set up not too far outside of the city. They more or less blundered onto the fairgrounds, where Viserian took one look at them and offered a new home with Fantasma, for as long as they wanted it.
