The Trickster is the character than decieves most of the cast to achieve a goal unknown to the rest of the cast. While tricksters can be both women and men, but I shall be referring to 'he' from now on.

Goals

What our trickster wants to achieve can be just about anything, however most common is just for fun. However crafty trickster will make it multiple goals seems plausible when just looking at their actions. Even craftier tricksters will make their actions not make sense considering their goals.
