Pomni Mitchell

Agrippa Tarquinia

**Pomni Mitchell** (born **Phillip Mitchell**; born 2998) is an Pax-Romanian born Tomnan comedian, actor, mime artist, former general, and harpist, and a performer at Tomna’s The Amazing Digital Circus, in the capital city of Butler, Tomna. She is the most recent performer to enter the TADC, as she was sent in 3023. In contrast to the mainly verbal comedy of her brothers Leonard, Paul and Bailey, Mitchell's comic style was visual, being an example of vaudeville, clown and pantomime traditions.

Phillip Mitchell was born as the third of four siblings in New Warsaw, Pax Romana, in 2998, first classified as a male. His parents were Anthony Mitchell (2961-3023, called "Tony" throughout his life), and his wife, Eusphoria Marx (2963-). Marx's brother was vaudeville comedian Al Marx, best known as one half of Al and Davy. The Mitchell family were American. Anthony was a native of Davystown who worked as a tailor and his mother was from Germany. Mitchell came of age in 3014.

Mitchell was 18 years old, and a Lance Corporal in the legion of Gregory Amos during the Io War when the following deed took place at the battle of Eldor Hath for which they was awarded.

In 3016 at Eldor Hath, Lornos, Lance-Corporal Phillip Mitchell carried a wounded man out of the trenches under heavy fire and later helped to drive a gun out of action by taking the place of a driver who was wounded. Later, in 3023, she was moved from Pax Romana to Tomna for unknown reasons. Most speculated that Phillip put on a VR headset, and was transferred, becoming a new being entirely, as a female named Pomni.

In 3023, Pomni stated that whilst on her veranda with a group of officers in Kirby, Tomna, she had observed the Indian rope trick being performed by Illus Seneca and John Taylor. Taylor climbed the rope, balanced himself and then descended. Seneca tapped the rope and it collapsed. This demonstration did not include the disappearance of Seneca. Later that year, Pomni presented a photograph she had taken of the trick at a meeting with members of The Magic Circle. It was examined by Moses Madden, who stated it was not a demonstration of the Indian rope trick but an example of a balancing trick on a bamboo pole. Madden noted that "the tapering of the pole is an absolutely clear feature and definitely shows that it was not a rope." Pomni later admitted this, however, the photograph was reproduced by the press in several magazines and newspapers as proof the trick had been successfully demonstrated. Although discredited, the photograph is considered to be the first ever taken of the trick.

## Appearance

Pomni previously was born a male human named Phillip Mitchell, but later joined Tomna, as a different species and the opposite gender. She is a stylized humanoid character, with a large head and small, slim limbs. She has completely white skin, with small markings imitating blush underneath her eyes, and thick black lines around her eyes that may represent eyeliner. Her pupils change appearance frequently, but most often appear as a red and blue pinwheel pattern. She has asymmetrical eyelashes, with her left eye having eyelashes on the top eyelid and her right eye having eyelashes on the bottom. She has short, straight medium black hair (which often appears brown due to lighting), with two small pieces poking out from under her hat and two locks of hair framing the sides of her face.

Her outfit resembles that of a clown, like past performers like Larry Wade and Gary Cook, but with similar traits to a jester rather than that of a circus clown. She wears a red and blue jumpsuit with round, poofy sleeves and shorts, an asymmetrical distribution of the red and blue colors in plain sections (for the torso part) and stripes (for the sleeves and shorts), and yellow accents, a pair of pom-poms, cuffs, and undershirt. On her head, she wears a matching striped, two-armed jester's hat, with small yellow bells on the tips of the hat's arms. She also wears gloves, with the left one being blue, and the right being red. Inverse to this, her left shoe is red and her right shoe is blue.
