Complications
Motivation: Greed: Tomé is a swindler and con-artist at heart, she will take any opportunity to fleece others of their valuables, often going to creative extremes to make a buck or shill her shady wares. Her schemes often backfire ending up with her suffering karmic retribution.
Motivation: Recognition: Prideful to a fault Tomé wants the world the SMELL HER GREATNESS! She will brag and show off, staking claim to any impressive sounding consequence of her actions even if doing so would lead to misfortune for her.
Quirk - All The World A Stage: Tomé is under the belief that the world operates by narrative conventions and often blindly and absolutely works under random assumptions she makes based on tropes and cliches as if they are irrefutable facts.
Secret - Stage Magician: As someone who always admired stage magicians Tomé decided to pretend to be one, trying to hide her magical spells as smoke and mirrors despite the fact she, shamefully, has no talent at stage magic.
Weakness - Bully: Tomé is weak to mockery, often acting defensively at first but slowly breaking down if it continues.

Notes:
A PC build of mine and based on a stupid joke idea I once had: A real magician pretending to be a fake magician using real magic to fake real fake magic. Basically a twist on Zatana who's a stage magician who happens to be able to use real, she's someone who uses real magic to try and fake using stage magic which she sees as superior.
Background: A young girl and former criminal.
Having been born poor, untalented and rather weak Tomé had always found herself envious of those around her. She had wanted to live their lives, to be rich, to be loved, to be powerful. Starting at a young age she learned how to use her wits to get what she wanted, cheating and conning fellow children with some amount of success.
At the age of 10 she ended up stumbling upon something that would change her life forever. One day while wandering around the city she ended up witnessing the street performance of a famous magician. Enraptured by the showman Tomé sought to dedicate herself to imitating him, to become a world famous Magician.
However Tomé lacked the talent and finesse for even the most basic of magic tricks, constantly and spectacularly failing to perform any slight of hand or smoke and mirrors trickery. However while delving into her studies of the subject she also studied the occult to attempt to discover any tricks or secrets they might have to offer her. It was through this that she discovered her own innate magical abilities and talents. The various spells she was able to concoct capable of matching and beating the effects of mere stage magic. She would be able to dazzle and captivate audiences with her performances like she wanted.
However despite this the girl was unhappy, she had wanted to be a STAGE magician and was not any closer to that goal. Sure she could fake it, but she considered the whole thing a loss if she couldn't do the actual tricks. She became determined to not let anyone learn that she was in fact, actually magical rather than just a talented performer.
After "succeeding" in her quest Tomé started to use her new abilities to fleece people out of their money. Reselling store bought merchandise at inflated prices, running gambling scams against local children, extorting her former bullies, and literally stealing candy from babies.Eventually she was discovered by the police, though given the lack of severity for the crimes committed and the discovery of her vehemently denied magical powers she was instead released on probation to work with the local junior heroes team as a form of community service and reformation attempt.
