Backstory:
Mesmerelda had always loved the theatre. Ever since she was young she had dreamt of becoming a stage performer at the Skylands Theatre. She pushed and pushed until one day she got her audition. She went on that stage and she nailed it. She was so good they gave her the leading role. Her dream had come true.

And so, for the next couple of months the cast worked their hardest to bring the play to life. Everything was going well leading up to the premiere until part of the stage collapsed on Mesmerelda, injuring her and keeping her from the play. Her understudy went on and crushed it, all of Skylands praised her performance, making Mesmerelda jealous. They should have been praising her!

Desperate to have her injury heal early she looked for short cuts, eventually coming upon a book of dark magic. She used that magic and healed her leg early. She went back to the producer, ready to take on the part again, but he decided to keep the understudy on. Mesmerelda was furious and confronted the new lead of the play. Upon hearing the news, she taunted Mesmerelda saying that she sabotaged the stage to get the part.

In anger, Mesmerelda went back to the book of dark magic to get her revenge. She came upon a form of dark magic known as puppeteering. It involved soul stealing, zombification, and possession. She picked up the dark art quickly and turned to use it on the lead actress.

Using her magic she took her over and forced her to do terrible during her performances. The plays ratings fell hard and the actress lost all her credibility, yet Mesmerelda wasn't satisfied enough yet. Taking her powers, she led an all out assault on the play and destroyed the entire thing.

Kaossandra, a dark portal master, heard of this rising dark sorceress and hired Mesmerelda as her enforcer. Mesmerelda prospered in this position and served there for many years until one mission in the Frostfest Mountains went bad, leading to her capture and eventual imprisonment in Cloudcracker prison. After some rehabilitation she was brought back around to seeing goodness and joined the Shrink Squad.

Personality:
A bit of a narcissist that is absolutely in love with the theatre. Can come across as pretentious sometimes. Is currently writing a script for Spyro's Adventure from Kaos' perspective, making him out to be a tragic hero... it's an interesting call.
