Mirricusion
Mirricusion is an identity and umbrella term for identities in which one's gender is centered around illusionary magic, hiding or changing oneself, concealing how one looks, tricking others (be it for play or for serious actions), mirrors, and cool greys or light blues. It can also be related to the concept of hallucinations, being stuck on one's past, unsettling imagery, and inflicting those feelings/experiences on others, but doesn't have to be.
Mirricusion may be connected to the umbrella terms hypnoceras and/or spiralline, but isn't inherently related to them. It was coined with the Illusion coven from The Owl House in mind, but isn't necessarily connected to it. It doesn't have inherent ties to any other umbrella terms (ex. xenogender), but may overlap depending on the user.
