SQ cowardice, images in the mirror

Cowardice (Ex) Mirror-Mirror is a sapient construct, immune to most mind-affecting effects, but it has very strong sense of self-preservation and can be threatened and manipulated with Intimidation skill, and can be made shaken, frightened, panicked, or cowering with fear effects.

Cunning Council (Ex) Mirror-Mirror can always aid another by advising, without making a check, having appropriate skills or even being capable of succeeding on the action itself. When doing so, it can either grant +4 bonus or –4 penalty to the skill check, though the recipient never perceives it as a hindrance.

Dazzling Defense (Ex) Attacks against Mirror-Mirror are made with –4 penalty as long as the attacker sees Mirror-Mirror.

Float (Su) Mirror-Mirror floats a few inches above the ground, ignoring difficult terrain caused by the condition of the surface itself, such as ice or grease, and can even float above surface that is not capable of supporting Mirror-Mirror, like water or narrow beams.

Images In The Mirror (Su) Mirror-Mirror can show whatever images and produce corresponding sounds, including comprehensible speech, as it desires. It communicates by showing speaking images, often animating and distorting reflection of the person it is speaking to, or showing a person important in some way to speaker.

Mirror-Mirror is here to help, to advise, to nudge things in the right direction... The unspoken part, though, is that this sapient mirror is a cruel trickster, paragon of schadenfreude, desiring nothing less than to see (and hear stories of) the others failing and suffering. Personally, publicly, globally, it doesn't matter, Mirror-Mirror can be very petty, enjoying personal and family drama, though it does dream of seeing the world burn—the established order being uprooted, the unworthy lifted to the highest positions only to fall even lower, the innocents and guilty suffer alike.

Mirror-Mirror will be happy to subtly direct and corrupt others, to give them the right push, but if the matters go really hot, it will do whatever it needs to continue its existence—fleeing, lying, betraying its masters and pawns, humbling itself, or pretending to be a mundane mirror—to avoid destruction.
