Rinkit, Kobold Reflection Thaumaturge.
The latest sourcebook for Pathfinder 2E dropped today, and included the Thaumaturge class and the 'Reflection' Versatile Heritage. The combination of those was too obvious not to make use of, so Rinkit was created! As I wrote his backstory in-character, I'll let him introduce himself.
"Rinkit is a Kobold. Was a Kobold. ..Rinkit is pretty sure he's a Kobold.
See, one day Rinkit was digging through these old ruins Rinkit found, when he found this pretty, pretty mirror. Rinkit thought the him in the mirror was even more handsome than the real him! So Rinkit kept it. He usually sells these trinkets he finds, but this one was special. Rinkit would look at it every chance he got, admiring how pretty it was and how clear the reflection was.
Then one day, Rinkit got in a fight. Rinkit tries to avoid fights, but sometimes mean people like bandits and thieves want Rinkits treasures, or monsters want to eat Rinkit, so he has to fight. Rinkit raised his crossbow and held his mirror tight, and next thing he knew, there was another Rinkit! The thief was so confused - and so was Rinkit when the shot hit them from the reflections side and not his!
After the fight, Rinkit learnt he could make this not-Rinkit appear whenever he wanted to! What was better was that he could change places with them too. All of a sudden, Rinkit could get to so many more places than before! All sorts of new treasures and shinies were open to Rinkit now!
Then things got confusing. One day, during a fight, a monster ate the real Rinkit! At least, that's what it looked like. He was so sure he was the reflection and the real Rinkit was standing over there, but then - gulp! No more Rinkit, but this one was still here!
Now Rinkit isn't sure what to believe. Is this one real, or did the real one die and this one is now the real fake one? What happens when this one makes more reflections? How many times has the least-fake one died and been replaced? Rinkit's not sure, but he's going to keep looking for more treasures. Maybe one of them will help him make sense of this... or keep him safe if the real-real one is really out there and comes back for him."
Rinkit is a Kobold Reflection Thaumaturge starting with the Mirror Implement (picking up Weapon and, if he gets that far, Tome implements later on), Magical Misfit background and Ammunition Thaumaturgy class feat. Leveling up, he's going to be taking Scroll Thaumaturgy along with Scroll and Talisman Esoterica at later levels. Coupled with his free Trick Magic Item feat from his background, along with Prescient Planner and Prescient Consumable, the goal is to play him as someone who over thinks every situation and often as not has some trinket or gewgaw handy to assist with the problem at hand.
He's also, in case it wasn't obvious, a little bit broken in the head after using his implement so many times that he's lost track of whether or not he's the original him any more.

I love these little chaos lizards and PF2E making them not only a core player race, but also turning them into these adorable wedge-headed idiots (they get access to a feat that lets them use their small size to appear less threatening and make an enemy pull back their attack - it's called 'Cringe') was such a good decision by them imho
i loved playing a kobold both in DnD5e (after the updated release of the playable race) and PF2E. I played a smol, dumb, happy-go-lucky and nigh-indestructible Blue Kobold Barbarian named "Gribs Prungo" or just Gribs for short.
He got very attached to a stuffed frog one of the party members made for him and his rage scream was a soundboard scream of donald duck's rage
Also blinked one eye at a time and would occasionally do the gecko thing of licking his own eye.
