Harlequin and Pierrot

Pierrot: His hobby is baking various sweets and the like. If he's bored, he can cook anything for his brothers or himself. It can also be a source of comfort for him. He himself loves sweets. Although he honestly doesn't understand how some people can't stand sweets. Pierrot's favorite animals are cats or dogs.

Harlequin: Harlequin's favorite hobby is, of course, riding motorcycles. He adores them. Of course, he's even sometimes considered holding motorcycle shows in his tent, but Ticketmaster and Jester would have categorically forbidden it. Harlequin's favorite animals are also cats, but he loves snakes more; one could say he has a mental connection with them. And snakes quickly surrender to Harlequin. Why? It's unknown.

Interesting facts: Harlequin, Pierrot, and their brothers have excellent night vision. Better than an owl, one might say. But don't overestimate their abilities. Each performer in the circus troupe has their own unique natural traits: Harlequin has green tentacles that he hides under his cloak. Pierrot has a sense of smell never found in humans, specifically, he can easily read a person's emotions and state of mind. Jester has the ability to hypnotize his victims with his eyes, even if they're a priest. The Doctor has a keen sense of the human condition; he can literally see a person's physical problems. Incidentally, Jester can also distinguish lies from truth.

Jester is the enigmatic and powerful leader of the Cirque Du Freak, whose identity is shrouded in mystery. Despite his young age, he has become the troupe's unofficial ruler thanks to his exceptional adaptability, strategic thinking, and iron will.

Harlequin appears in a complex and multi-layered costume, combining elements of a classic jester and the dark aesthetic of a freak show. The central element of the outfit is a jester's hood with elongated liripipes: one emerald green, the other jet black. Small silver bells are sewn onto the edges of the hood, quietly jingling as he moves. The upper part of the outfit is a double-sided cloak with an asymmetrical cut. The outer side is black, embroidered with intertwining green vines and golden ivy leaves. The inner lining is a rich emerald green with a subtle shimmer. The cloak is attached to the garment with two large dice-shaped brooches. A thick fabric tunic is visible beneath the cloak. The main color is a deep green, with a wide black stripe running diagonally from the left shoulder to the right hip, edged with a thin gold border. On the chest is a decorative appliqué inset: three gold hearts of varying sizes, superimposed on each other. The tunic's sleeves are wide and bell-shaped, with slits revealing the black lace cuffs of the undershirt. The trousers are black, made of stretch velvet. On the hips are gold-embroidered symbols: small hearts and diamonds. Thin green stripes, reminiscent of ivy stems, run along the sides of the legs.

On her hands are long, mid-forearm gloves. The main body is black leather, while the fingers and back of the hand are trimmed with emerald green silk with a houndstooth pattern. The fingertips are reinforced with small metal claw-shaped overlays. High platform boots complete the look. The left one is emerald green with black laces and a gold buckle, while the right one is black with a green sole and silver eyelets. The sole is chunky, with a textured pattern reminiscent of bird prints. Abilities: Can read minds. Has about six green tentacles, which he hides under his cloak.

Pierrot: gives himself up with reciprocity like a lost puppy, adores touch, and is literally embarrassed by it. He gets embarrassed by touching (if it's explicit), gets embarrassed by hugs. And so on. Harlequin: He's not exactly a relationship expert. For him, a relationship is when he can take charge of the game. But he also gets embarrassed when people hug him and tries to pull away. Jessier: He looks for a partner like a product in a store because he doesn't like people, but he's generally soft in relationships. Ticket Taker: relationships are not his first priority; his career and grooming are his top priorities, but he also approaches relationships with understanding, gentleness, and respect.
