Chameleon
Chameleon's talent is shapeshifting, although this is a predetermination, and not a talent that she activates at will. In a cycle that goes on perpetually throughout her life, she becomes ugly and very smart, then has average intelligence and beauty, then becomes radiantly beautiful and stupid, then average intelligence and beauty, then returning to ugly and very smart. Her cycle is most likely presumed to be a sine wave. These three phases of her being are named Fanchon (ugly and very smart), Dee (average intelligence and average looks), and Wynne (radiantly beautiful and stupid), although these are only names to refer to the phases; they are not separate personas. As she states in A Spell for Chameleon, her cycle takes place over a synodic lunar month, and is linked to her menstrual cycle. She is Bink's wife and Dor's mother. She currently resides with Bink just outside of Castle Roogna in a cottage cheese. Chameleon starred in A Spell for Chameleon and Night Mare. She was king during a Xanth wave.

Famous quotes containing the word chameleon:
“... ideals, standards, aspirations,—those are chameleon words, and take color from their speakers,—often false tints. A scholarly man of my acquaintance once told me that he traveled a thousand miles into the desert to get away from the word uplift, and it was the first word he heard after he reached his destination.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
