Cole is quiet and likes to cover his face with his hands. If he is depressed and needs to cry, he will cover his face with both hands. If the playwright, Cooper, or any adult he feels comfortable with is there, Cole will head straight to them and bury his face in their shirt. Clem would be both the ugliest and the cutest crybaby. She would scream the loudest, as you would expect from a baby, and they would sniffle all the time. Coop would pick them up, and their scarf would be covered in snot and tears. Peregrine is quiet, like Cole, but he doesn't hide his face. He expresses that he's sad. He doesn't want people to see him cry, but he doesn't hide it. "It gives him confidence that, 'Yeah, I'm sad.'" He tries to be mature about it. Emphasis on trying. Kingsley hardly cries. He's very young, so he hasn't reached the stage where he can understand what sadness is and why it's upsetting. He just frowns. He just acts like a child and has fun.

The Larks: This is a children's ensemble in the year 699. The orphan children of four (Cole, Clementine, Kingsley, Perrin) perform the songs of the Harkers (Bell Ringer, Storyteller, Chanter, Lighted). They are not related to each other, but they act like they are. Cole: A boy, 11 years old. Clothes:, and wears a mask of a hare or rabbit with red cheeks and blue shadows under the eyes. Cole represents Harker the Storyteller, who represents the past. Cole is also the lead singer in the theater ensemble, Cole is described as the most passive but imaginative Lark, who comes up with most of his own ideas. And little is said about his past: one of the songs said that his village was burned down and everyone died. Clementine: a 10-year-old girl. Clothes: she wears a goat mask, her clothes are made in delicate tones, and in some sense, a refined version. Clementine personifies the "Bell Ringer" and her past is known: that her parents were very rich (in the past she was called Barannesa), but they kept her as if in a "golden cage" because of which she could not stand it and ran away Kingsley: the youngest, a boy of 9.
