I'd like to add that Sparkle's trailer was, in hindsight, heavily hinting at the way to Dreamflux Reef, with all the shooting herself with a toy gun. And also telling Aventurine to go be "under a manhole cover" might have been hinting at the way to Dream's Edge, since the path Firefly took there was through a manhole cover.

and yet, it still hasn't been answered who Sparkle really is. She appears to be the most powerful character we have met in game, not in the sense of creating the biggest blast (that honour goes to Acheron) but in the sense of just "knowing", of taking on and displacing emanators at will, moving freely through dreams, changing dreams and possibly reality. The only real hint we got: "What is Elation? Me. I am Elation". Is this an aha moment?

I think the point isn't knowing who sparkle is. In all of penacony end credits sparkle is listed as "sparkle as sparkle". That's the answer, sparkle is sparkle. Nothing more. In one of her lines she says "An abandoned orphan, a cursed little girl, the last descendant of the puppet clan... I can tailor it to the tastes of the individual⁓" In fact in her character story there are some of these mentioned backstories. Sparkle is a masked fool, they often play prank people, she wants to make us think she has some hidden backstory but at the end we are just overthinking it and the answer we need is just that this is Sparkle and she does stuff for the sake of elation. The end.

About #1: sending the music boxes would be pretty easy tbh. One of Penacony's schticks is that items from the dream can be brought into reality (pretty much everything except for the fancy cars), and the delicacy event had us sending Penaconian dishes to our friends on HSS/Jarilo/Xianzhou, right there on the spot, without leaving the Dreamscape. And if even we, a tourist, could do it, then Gallagher, who knows Penacony well enough, would have an even easier time finding a way to send the invitations, and he wouldn't need to leave the dream if he happened to be tied to it.

Watching her trailer after playing 2.2 made my head mildly explode when I realized it had to be taking place in the grand theater or some other location central to the family. Since the trailer came out in 2.0 this led me to conclude that she had arrived on Penacony ahead of time and infiltrated quite deeply; deep enough to enact a plan, so we know she has leverage but is still playing a side role (animated short). All of which made 2.3 hit that much better. At the time I also wondered if she wasn't also acting on behalf of the Masked Fools (besides her contract with SW/SH which we didn't know the identity of yet) since the Family's machinations are probably not looked upon kindly by Aha, an Aeon I cannot imagine having a lot of patience for Order and Ena's brand of forkery 😂
@pianime94

Yeah, it's safe to say that Sparkle infiltrated Penacony for quite some time already. Apart from the Gallagher connectionI mentioned, Elio already prepared the script for Penacony before the Jepella Rebellion happened (Jepella already crumbled during the time we met Ruan Mei). Plus, I think this is a bit overlooked, but Sparkle did ask Sampo's help for something in Penacony.

Something I noticed during the sequence where the main cast realizes they're in a dream fabricated by Sunday, leading to Boothill contacting his fellow Galaxy Rangers and Acheron destroying a layer of the dream -- Sparkle is seen newly waking up. BS implied that only those with a strong sense of self/willpower, are able to remove themselves from the allure of their individual dreams. This would concretize the fact that Sparkle is very easily swayed by her own desires and her hold on her own identify is quite flimsy. Not sure if that was what they were going for though, BUT I am certained that there is an unexplored tragedy hidden underneath her many facades.

I dunno if anyone’s pointed this out but in Sparkle’s trailer, there are hints to Firefly’s three deaths. It happens when Sparkle is shooting herself at the beginning, there are three Sparkles.

The only detail that significantly understates her character and all this moments - script from Elio. Could she pull off something like that without that "advantage"? (knowledge of how, when and what exactly each "actor" will or possibly can do) Most of her hints can be ignored, as they lead to nothing - only encourage the actors to look beyond the stage, while she herself can no longer draw clear line. And many events could be made much more effective, but she can't do it without side theatrical drama and gloss. And yes, don’t forget about our MC, who can choose a different path, for real (stay at Hertha station, refuse to help Kafka, ignore Aventurine) - but there is some kind of block that prevents crucial choices from being made. Maybe this is special trait of our artificial "rebirth" body, Elio can limit these critical moments... But again, without such theoretical feature, all of Sparkle’s efforts can be thrown into the trash: She couldn’t create a situation, with script in her hands, where our MC would undoubtedly go with Aventurine to find out truth - naively believed, from own experience, that such offer was impossible to refuse (that "precaution" trait is unknown to her, otherwise she wouldn't waste time talking about the identity of the Firefly with us)

Wow, a giant miss in the very beginning. No, Gallagher and Misha are not the same. Gallagher is a "character" created with powers of path of Enigmata, while Misha is a memory being. Gallagher can exist outside of Dreamscape. Misha can't, not because he's fiction, but because he was a memory bubble content. Enigmata meanwhile can very well mess with reality outside, deeds of path of Enigmata aren't contained to Penacony.
@pianime94

Hmm, yeah, using Misha as a point is prob a bad example there. Though, it is curious how despite said possiblity Gallagher never actually appeared once in reality (perhaps if you want to count the dog statues ?) There's also his remark where he implied he don't know how much longer he can last since his fiction is exposed. These were what got me into thinking up the speculation.

@@pianime94 May I add to this theory. After you finish the latest Penacony quest, there is a bar on the ship located right behind the Divergent Universe. A newbie Bartender just started his work there, and his story is that he was unemployed most of the time before getting hired to do the bartending there. Sound weird for a newbie to hit a jackpot for a slot on the VIP ship in Penacony? The bartender sell a very particular drink: Gallagher's farewell cockail (or sth i forgor the name). That is the only place you can find the drink and since it sell a very important drink with a very specific character that we no longer able to see, is it that Gallagher's Fictionologist (the one made Gallagher in the first place) returned, or at least leave hint for us?

@@GhostEmblem gallagher was a History Fictionologist - A Enigmata being that can distort reality. There was no instances that they deloberately state that Gallagher was a being created by dream (or Memory Meme). His funeral is different: Gallagher said that when a History Fictionologist identity is seen through, they will no longer a myth, and therefore ending their existence. It was either mean that the physical body of Gallagher was completely vanished after Penacony story, or the History Fictionologist - An Emanator of Enigmata, creator of Gallagher - vanished. The later opinion seem harder to be true since it was extreme, and it not like everything that related to Gallagher's power was vanished with himself after the quest.

I think the buttons were also tricks too. We learned that the buttons name basically implies you'll blow up if you press them. But people can't die in dreams so there's no harm in actually pressing them. I believe the button was another way to get to true penacony, by summoning Sleepy. We learned the trigger to summoning him is believing you will die in the dream and he will appear and 'carry' them to the other side. And if you pressed the button either you doubt it will happen and thus nothing does. Or you believe it will kill you and thus Sleepy shows up. It just goes to show that so far the Masked Fools have always been there meddling in every main plot in the story and lore, always getting the last laugh
