Harmless inventor of untrue stories.

I had a friend like her, who changed her ethnicity even to where she was born and the accent with the company she was keeping at the time. She lied herself into many good jobs and got fired when she couldn't do them. But she never really lied about other people or ever said bad things about them, even the ones who had done her wrong. For that I gave her a pass. She was not a vicious liar and mostly hurt herself with her stories. It's too bad that talent for story telling wasn't channeled into a career as a writer or actress, but her mother was an alcoholic so she didn't get the guidance.

I think this woman is doing some good with her life and I think a good therapist will help her deal with her fantasy life.
