A young girl of around 12 opened her eyes only to see that she was in an unknown place. Even though everything around her was pitch black, she could still see her frail body and her long brown hair clearly, as if she was emanating light. Confused, she walked and walked again, to no avail. There was no entrance or exit to this strange space. Tired from walking so much, she decided to take a break. But as soon as the girl was about to sit, a mirror appeared in front of her. Curious, she stared at it, waiting for something to happen. Fortunately, her wish has been granted. Her reflection suddenly grinned and looked back at her with mocking blue eyes. Then, it said: "My, my! What might bring you here, my dear master?" "I... don't know. But that is of no matter for now. Just show me how to leave this place" answered the original, eager to get out of there. "I could tell you..." said the reflection, "... But that would be boring, wouldn't it? What to do, what to do? Oh! I know! Let's play a game!" The little girl cogitated for a bit, then said: "Fine. What is your game? And be quick, I don't want to stay here any longer." "All you have to do to win the game is to find the real you. In all of the reflections that is." It then snapped its fingers, which made appear a dozen of other mirrors. What was weird was that every mirror had a different expression on the reflection. "You have five minutes. Good luck, you'll need it!" said the one from the first mirror. Panicked, the girl did everything, but... she didn't find it. All of a sudden, all the mirrors disappeared but one. "Time's up! Too bad, you didn't find it, so you miserably lose." it said while holding back it's laugh. "Well, it was impossible for you anyway. After all, you lost your true self long ago." After having said that, white cracks appeared on the ground. The girl shouted in terror, only to feel the ground break under her feet, just like glass. "I can't wait to see how the next you is going to be, you little personality copycat." Those was the last thing she heard, while falling into everlasting darkness.

Hey! I hope you guys enjoyed this little OS I did for an English project. So, as you can see, this story is about a little girl who "copies" personalities. In other words, she's scared to be hated, so she adopts a personality that people will like, and as soon as that personality isn't "good" enough anymore, she switches to another one. You could say that she wears a mask (AKA the fake personality), explaining why there's a girl with a mask on the cover. Unfortunately, in the story, the girl had so many different personalities that she doesn't know how she is anymore.
I got inspired to write this by the song Copycat, sang by Gumi, explaining the very unoriginal title. I thought it was great as the first thing I post on this account, considering the fact that I'm still preparing for a Katsudeku fanfiction. Welp, that's all for me! Like I said before, I hope you enjoyed it and see you guys later!
