︶ ♧ Jester [3]

Jester is the tall, slender leader of the Cirque Du Freak, whose appearance combines theatrical grace with intimidating features. His face is hidden beneath a white "mask" that clings tightly to his skin and is capable of changing expressions, though most often it's frozen in a wide grin revealing sharp teeth. The mask's signature features are purple patterns: a diamond under his left eye, an upside-down heart under his right, and thin lines running from the corners of his mouth to his chin. Long purple hair spills from beneath his four-pointed, bell-adorned purple-black cap, and two small white horns rise above it.

Jester's outfit features a combination of purple, black, and gold, complete with short sleeves and long black gloves concealing sharp claws. Despite his eerie appearance, he is the most responsible and authoritative member of the group, serving as a mentor to characters such as Pierrot and Harlequin. Jester has a unique talent for languages ​​and often acts as a liaison between the circus and the outside world, sometimes even showing concern for lost children. His birthday is September 29th, and although he appears to be a wise leader, he is considered one of the youngest performers in his sinister show.

The Ushers are the oldest of the five main members of the Cirque Du Freak and are considered Jester's "right-hand man." His appearance is distinguished by his unusual mask: the right side is completely black with a white mouth, while the left side is white with one black eye and a black mouth. In hidden scenes, it is revealed that Jester calls him by the friendly nickname "Bill."

In the circus hierarchy, the Ticketmaster is an important figure, acting as a mentor or authority figure to other characters, particularly Pierrot. Like the other performers, he maintains his own version of the tragic past events surrounding Columbine. His memories of this story are presented to the player through a mirrored scene in his tent.

Like other circus inhabitants, the Ticket Taker has a monstrous nature. In the story, he is often associated with the colors black, blue, and white. Despite his functional role, he remains an enigmatic character, whose true motives and character are revealed only through careful examination of hidden scenes and dialogue.

He is portrayed as a dark and eccentric jester or joker, whose appearance combines elements of a classic theatrical character with horror aesthetics. He wears a red and black suit with yellow details and a jabot collar, and a large double-pointed cap with bells and golden stars crowns his head. Pierrot's face is hidden behind a white mask with a permanent wide grin, revealing sharp teeth, and long, tousled gray hair escaping from beneath. His hands are clad in long black gloves, adorned with metal claws reminiscent of blades, emphasizing his dangerous nature. His entire appearance, including his high lace-up boots with upturned toes, is imbued with the spirit of a sinister circus performance. Pierrot's personality is that of a "quiet yandere." He makes a point of not speaking in public, as part of his mime persona, but he can whisper in the protagonist's ear or interact with them normally when they're alone. His affection for the player is obsessive: he stalks them at work, sneaks into their bedroom at night, and may resort to kidnapping if he feels threatened by the object of his affection. Despite his intimidating demeanor, Pierrot genuinely strives to protect the protagonist from the other dangers of the circus.

Pierrot's past is marked by profound trauma: he was in love with Columbine and grieved over her death, for which he indirectly blames his rival, Harlequin. It is this loss that has made him so obsessed with the new "face" of the circus, whom he sees as a chance to regain his lost happiness. Within the circus hierarchy, he shows deep respect for Jester, considering him an authority figure.

He stands approximately 187 cm tall and wears a theatrical costume in black and green, patterned with hearts and diamonds. His face is hidden by a white mask that blends seamlessly with his skin; it sports a sharp, mocking smile, concealing a row of sharp teeth. One of the most frightening features of his appearance is his eyes, with black irises and bright green, "poisonous" pupils, as well as tentacles hidden beneath his clothing, which emphasize his monstrous nature. Harlequin is a manipulator and trickster by nature, turning every interaction into a theatrical performance. Unlike the taciturn Pierrot, he actively uses his charm to control those around him, but behind his charm lies a cruel and possessive nature. His interest in the protagonist (MC) is largely driven by a desire to win a long-standing rivalry with Pierrot, although depending on the player's actions, he may begin to develop more sincere, albeit distorted, feelings for the protagonist.

Harlequin is the youngest of the five main members of the Cirque Du Freak and harbors a deep-seated grudge against Pierrot, rooted in their shared past and the tragic story surrounding Columbine. In the play, he often appears during moments when Pierrot displays a particular obsession with the hero, attempting to seize the initiative and turn the situation into a dangerous game for attention.

He stands at an imposing height of approximately 207 cm. He wears a long, structured red and black coat with gold buttons and a bright blue lining, reminiscent of a cloak. The Doctor's face is hidden by a black plague doctor mask with blue lenses, and his hands are covered with red gloves with sharp claws. The doctor is in charge of the so-called "Medical Tent" (also known as the Blue Tent). Despite his terrifying nature, the Doctor sometimes performs his duties: for example, in the official comic from the game's creator, he treats Pierrot after his injuries. His eyes, hidden by his mask, usually glow blue, but can turn red in moments of aggression or madness.
