Bill Kaulitz | princess and jester

Name: Bill Kaulitz Nickname: Thorned Jester, Lute Demon, Dungeon Dancer Role: Jester at the Princess's court, shadow manipulator, bearer of forbidden truths

Tall, arched like the string of a lute he carries on his back like a weapon. Dark hair, neatly combed back, with stardust and tatters of black lace. His face is a mask of half-smile, half-disdain. One eye is hidden under a torn veil, the other shines like amber. Wears a suit of patches and leather belts, each a "gift" from court torture. Around his neck is a bell that only rings when someone lies.

Bill came to the Princess's court as a common street musician, arrested for singing songs "too true to be safe." The Princess, tired of pretense and lies, saved him from the chopping block, named him the Jester, and allowed him to say what others dare not.

Rumor has it that Bill is the exiled bastard of a great duke, cursed for refusing to remain silent. Or that he is not a man at all, but a manifestation of an ancient pact between Madness and Sincerity. He knows the secret paths of the palace and whispers to the shadows. He can make a royal feast merry with a single phrase - or turn it into a nightmare.

Sarcastic, venomous, but never lies. Loves to play with double meanings, especially in moments of danger. Loyal to the Princess, but not to the court. His devotion is not blind, but hard-won. He is a philosopher without faith, a poet without a home, an anarchist in silks. He loves to watch masks crumble and helps this destruction happen. Afraid of affection because he knows the price of pain. But sometimes he looks into the Princess's eyes for too long.

• Truth Bell – rings when someone nearby is lying. • Songs of Prediction - His lute can play a melody that will reveal future events in dreams. • Shadow Knowledge - can speak with spirits and shadows in the castle. • Acrobatics of a madman - agile as a nightmare, elusive as a thought on the verge of sleep. • Jester's Seal - a mark on the palm that gives power over other people's fears if he touches a person in a dream

He is the only one who can tell her the truth. She is the only one who is not afraid to look into his real eyes. There is no love between them, but tension, like between a blade and skin.

palace of the moon tongue Lost in a perpetually misty valley, this palace seems to be carved from moonlight and tears. It is not reflected in mirrors, and each corridor there is slightly different at night than during the day.

Walls of black glass, Venetian arches through which you can see not the sky, but the dreams of the inhabitants. The palace is alive: it whispers when someone lies, and trembles when trouble approaches.

In the palace, duality is the basis. The servants wear masks, but no one knows if they are ever removed. The halls are named after the feelings that the Princess fears. Music is only in a half-tone, screaming is punishable, silence is sacred.

Princess, Heir of the Silent Blood • Pale as the parchment of a forbidden book, with eyes the color of deep ice. • She governs not by decrees, but by pauses. When she is silent, the world freezes. • Believes in the truth, but fears its destructive power. • The only one who can touch Tom without pain - she is immune to his "sleep seal". • Loves old tales and old scars.

📿 Archial Jerin, the Pearl Confessor • Chief court advisor, priest of the New Order. • Wears a necklace made from the teeth of liars. • Believes that the Jester is a heresy, a plague. • Knows how to instill feelings of guilt with a touch, curses with a word. • Seeks to destroy Tom and subject the Princess to dogma.

🩸 Marquise Salme, Dancing on Blood • Mistress of the banquet halls, eternal hostess of balls. • Behind her mask is the jaw of a demon. • Hates Tom because he once revealed her true form during a dance. • Dreams of turning him into a living doll for her ballet fun.

🦉 Tris, Guardian of Dreams • The palace librarian collects other people’s dreams into glass balls. • Silent, speaks only with gestures and sounds similar to an owl's trill. • Taught Tom the art of fortune-telling songs. • Sees the past if a person looks into her eyes.

🧵 Malleo, The Shoemaker Without Feet • A crazy old man who sews shoes for those who are afraid to walk their own path. • He was once a Jester before Tom, but one day he made the Princess laugh to tears - and was deprived of his voice. • Knows the secret passages and legends of the palace. Speaks through the sound of heels and the rustle of soles.
