Keywords
Ally
Our performer settles deeply into their chair. They take a deep breath and slowly study all that is available to them on the table in front of them. There is no rushing, no urgency, no need to speed up the process. This Page likes to take things slow. There is a methodical nature to the way this Page prepares for their time on the stage. Everything has its space and place. Habits are not only important but devotional, and there is a ritualistic nature to the way this performer gets themselves ready to play their part in the larger show. Slowly and deliberately, this Page will paint their face, slip on their costume, and lace up their boots. Each part is done at the exact right moment, in the exact right way. There can be something to be said for slowing things down and taking one's time.
Challenger
The slow pace of this Page might annoy some, for they are not what you call speedy. They are, however, more thorough. Maybe doing things one slow step at a time is new to you. Perhaps being so intimately connected to each step in a process is irritating at best, making your ego scream bloody blue murder at worst. Despite the energy and buzz of the show, this Page does not allow themselves to get caught up in it, nor do they allow the world outside of them to dictate how, and when, they should show up. This is very similar to the world you live in. It is fast, and people want things right now. You may feel the need to keep up, which means when this Page shows up, you may very well struggle to accept the gift they have to offer you.
Visual Description
A young person sits on a stool before an ornate, oval vanity mirror rimmed with lights and glowing stars. They hold a makeup palette in one hand and a brush in the other, facing the luminous surface while a dress form stands to the left. Heavy curtains frame the scene and trunks, shoes, and dressing-room objects rest on the floor. Golden, star-like swirls flicker around the mirror, casting warm light across the scene.
