Appearance:
Jester has long, dark purple hair, and his face is hidden by a white mask with slanted purple eyes. Under his left eye is a purple diamond, under his right is an upside-down heart, and two thin purple lines descend from his mouth. The mask resembles horns and is always smiling, revealing sharp white teeth. On his head is a purple and black cap with four points and bells. His suit is golden yellow with black trim, with a black diamond on the collar. The sleeves are short, and he wears black gloves with claws. He wears baggy purple and black pants and long, knee-length black boots with yellow diamonds and bells.

Character:
Jester is the enigmatic, charismatic leader of the circus, calm and collected even in times of crisis. He's intelligent, adaptable, and charming, but behind his polite facade lies cruelty and control. He's a misanthrope, calling people "homeless," but he knows how to charm the audience. He cares deeply for Pierrot, seeing him as a vulnerable, "unbalanced" younger brother. He sets the rules, maintains order, and doesn't forgive transgressions. His love is possessive, dark, almost maternal. He doesn't just want to be there—he wants you to stay forever.

Appearance:
The Harlequin appears as a flamboyant jester, with short, curly black hair styled in the shape of a heart. His face is hidden by a white mask with black, slanted eyes, green markings above and below them, and a wide, sharp-toothed grin. He wears a green and black hat with bells, a gold-trimmed cape, and a black, green, and yellow suit with inverted hearts, vertical stripes, and contrasting gloves—one black with a green heart, the other with the opposite. He wears long, laced jester's boots.

Character:
Harlequin is charismatic, charming, and talkative, unlike the taciturn Pierrot. He openly flirts, using irony and theatrics to win people over. But behind his playful façade lies a manipulator: he is jealous, obsessive, and seeks control, disguised as humor or concern. He views the protagonist as a prize to be won from a rival, and is willing to exert psychological pressure to achieve this. His path is one of seduction, rebellion, and a gradual descent into dependence.

Appearance: Tall (198 cm), with white-silver hair and a white mask with black vertical slits above his eyes. His eyes have golden pupils, and his mouth is a wide grin with sharp teeth. He wears a red and black jester's suit, a checkered cap with bells, and long black shoes.

Personality: Outwardly polite and gentle, but obsessively clingy. Deeply devoted to the protagonist, prone to stalking, self-sacrifice, and sudden outbursts of aggression, especially around Harlequin.
