Secret Identity
Even though you are a Changeling, you continue to live among the people of the Material Realm- and you do so by maintaining a secret identity, forging documents, and wearing another's face; few, if any, know you aren't one of them. Your reasons for doing so are your own. Perhaps you're a dissident or the agent of a foreign power. Maybe you have a relationship with someone you cannot bear to leave. Regardless, this way of life has likely taken a heavy toll on you.
