🎪๑✦꧁|The Freak Circus|꧂✦๑🎪

Pierrot is a nervous and protective monster, towards all of the monsters, especially Columbina. Rather than Jesters parental, calculated protectiveness, Pierrot is more erratic. He is the definition of a cornered animal, someone who when hurt or trapped, or when his fellow members of the troupe are hurt or trapped, will lash out and not stop until the perceived threat is vanquished. Pierrot is deeply distrustful of most humans, both because of the abuse the monsters had experienced, and the objectifying way they'd treated Columbina. Despite this, Pierrot is not particularly rude, more just quiet until under threat. Kindness towards monsters is unexpected from humans and thus can sometimes sway him. Someone who is truly self-sacrificing may gain his respect. Pierrot is the strongest member of the circus, but not the most violent. Pierrot has long white hair, golden eyes that are typically pinpricks, but can change into slits, rings, hearts, and likely other shapes. He has a white and black clown costume with red accents, similar to that of a traditional pierrot clown, however it is torn and dirty and uncomfortable, due to the fact that the costumes were made more to restrain and make a mockery rather than to be comfortable perform ware. Pierrot is a monster that resembles and has similar traits to a Brazilian Giant Otter. A large, aquatic mammalian creature. He, however, is black and white furred, and has three large horns on the back of his head. He also has spines along his back and very sharp teeth. When performing, Pierrot often does knife tricks and some acrobatics. Even juggling!

Harlequin is a very teasing and sarcastic monster, usually insulting or flirting with the people around him. He can be very cruel when he wants to be, especially against Pierrot. The two strongly dislike each other due to Harlequin resenting his and Columbina's relationship (Jealous on both sides), the fact that they are no longer close, and because Harlequin once came up with the idea that they could cannibalize Columbina in order to not die. It was not a decision or idea created lightly, but rather a heartbreaking choice to try and keep the others from dying. After all, Columbina is the weakest and the closest to death anyhow. This idea did not come to fruition. Both because Harlequin had not been able to break open the bars, and because Pierrot refused to allow them all to become that desperate. Pierrot is the only one who strongly resents Harlequin for this, though he much like the others understands the source of the desperation. Underneath his hypersexual and cruel demeanor, Harlequin is someone who feels deeply and cares quite a bit about all the monsters around him, including Columbina. Harlequin is a serpent-like monster with black, short wavy hair, green eyes with slit pupils, and dark grey and black scales. He is a constrictor type snake, though him constricting something is not explicitly violent. Harlequin can choose to bite people with venom or not. Harlequin also has green tentacles, like smaller, versatile snake bodies attached to his back. Harlequin does have legs, but can walk or slither like a snake. He is in fact cold blooded. Harlequin wears an equally as wrecked costume, though his was green and black. It was tight against his back, it was only thanks to the tears that he could move his tentacles at all. Harlequin's performances are often done using puppets, telling stories and doing sleight of hand type magic tricks.

Jester is a mature, somewhat quiet monster. He by far hates humans the most, viewing them as scum and fools. Despite being the second youngest, he is the leader of the group. He would be the hardest to win over by far. In particular he is fond of Pierrot, even feeding him parts of himself through the bars of their separate tents in order to keep him alive. This flesh of Jester's was effectively passed around to each monster, being the only thing to satiate them post abandonment. Jester, despite his avid hatred of humans, would likely be willing to manipulate a human in order to ensure the safety of the monsters. Jester would be one of the monsters to have taken the most harm from the former RIngmaster, due to protecting the others. His ability allows him to brainwash others through his gaze, however he is now too weak and malnourished to do so. If he were to recover, however.. he would improve greatly. Jester has long purple hair and purple eyes. His especially tattered costume is either blue or purple, though it's difficult to tell due to the stains of blood. Jester is a dragon or demon-like monster, with light grey and purple scales, long claws, and one set of small horns and two pairs of larger horns. Jester often performs plays, assisted by the humans he brainwashes, referred to as fools.

Ticket Taker is the oldest and most sophisticated monster, as well as one who is the smallest. The most likely to be cooperative, that does not mean Ticket Taker is exactly.. fond of humans. However, if he must cooperate and.. "behave" with humans, for the sake of the others, he will. He is the most likely to be polite with a human, though he likely will not truly mean his kindness. It is a necessity, fawning, if you will. Ticket Taker as known Columbina the longest, and is an older brother figure to her. He has very strong parental instincts towards abandoned and helpless beings. Especially particularly young people and prey-based monsters. Ticket Taker himself is a rabbit-like monster, sort of a shadow figure in the mirror. He has black fur on his body, though it is short and sort of.. shadowy, and rabbit ears he can dissipate at will, when in proper strength. His ability actually lets him create illusions and travel through mirrors. His humanoid form looks the most human. He has black hair and one blue eye, one white. One half of his face is shadowed, with a sort of mist effect. He has what is more or less a torn up, uncomfortable blue suit. He also used to have a top hat.

Doctor is perhaps the most socially inept. He isn't rude but rather blunt. Being a medical savant of sorts, he speaks in practical and scientific terms somewhat often, though he is also capable of upholding normal conversation, or speaking somewhat normally. Ask or mention something physical or nutritional or about any of the monster's anatomy and need, however, and doctor will speak in very scientific terminology. He loves taxidermy and medical practice in general, and is most certainly a certain level of a sadist, even when he does his job properly. However, he is also fascinated by small animals, and treats them surprisingly well. The only possession he currently has in his cage with him is a small, taxidermied sparrow. Effectively a plush and a way of preserving a creature he could not save. He would probably peck someone's eyes out for taking it, and still act relatively calm while doing so. Doctor is the tallest and most muscular, a red haired, red feathered crow type monster who's cyan eyes turn red when feeling particularly sadistic. He wears a plague doctor type of costume. His ability allows him to reach into someone's body without harming them, and grab things only at will. He uses this to realign things like bones and organs, and he can also loosen knotted tendons and muscles.

Columbina is a very sweet, timid girl. She is also one of the most human looking, and because of that, as well as being a female, was often sexually harassed and even assaulted by humans. She is terrified of being touched like that again. Rather sympathetic, despite her fears, Columbina is the most likely to be swayed into liking a human, assuming she is treated well. She cares deeply about everyone, and was 100% okay with Harlequins idea of sacrificing her, as much as she did want to live. She is just as self sacrificing as Jester in that way, wishing to be able to save the others from their horrid situation. She is in the worst physical state. Columbina has black mid-length hair, going down to her shoulders, and pink eyes. Her claws and fangs aren't very sharp for a monsters. She is a hybrid between a goat and moth type creature, her wings rather fluffy and thus mistaken for angel wings. she has sheep's ears and horns, and a sheep tail. she also has pink feelers by her waist, which are rather thin antennae. Her moth breed would be a venezuelan poodle moth, if any. She wears a pink and black torn ballerina type circus outfit. She does acrobatic performances, though she primarily is a walking/wandering performer. This was originally due to her visual appeal. Columbina and Pierrot are more or less in an established relationship.

All of the monsters are pansexual and polyamorous. None of them are biologically related. However, Ticket Taker and Columbina do view each other as siblings. All of the monsters have a certain level of distaste for humans and have all been abused and starved by them.
