{Cirque du Freak/TFC}

Pierrot embodies the melancholic and artistic soul of the troupe. Appearance: Long silver-white hair, white mask with black curved eyes and golden pupils, black tear stain under his left eye, red and black diamond-patterned costume, three-horned cap with bells and a yellow star, black gloves concealing sharp claws. Personality: Polite and gentle on the outside, extremely possessive and dangerous on the inside, can be pathologically obsessive, deliberately silent in public, speaks only to other circus "workers," easily embarrassed and shy, cruel to threats, especially toward Harlequin. Abilities and traits: Master knife thrower and performer, physically strongest member of the group, can sense changes in heartbeat, skilled cook, possesses an abnormally long tongue.

Harlequin's true form is unknown, but he has tendrils or tentacles. In his "human" form, he is thin and tall, with a build similar to Pierrot. His mask is white, with a green triangle under his right eye and a green diamond over his left. His attire includes a black and green double-pointed hat with hearts at the base, a black shawl tied in a bow at the neck, a black and green long-sleeved coat, gloves with a black and green pattern and claws, black trousers with gold hearts just above the knee, and green knee-high lace-up boots. Harlequin is straightforward, flirtatious, and rather promiscuous. He often tries to attract someone's attention through seduction. He is mocking and mean-spirited toward Pierrot, constantly finding reasons to do him harm.

The Doctor runs the "Medical Tent," which resembles a torture chamber more than a hospital. He is responsible for the "treatment" of the performers, which typically involves grotesque modifications, stitches, and the replacement of weak flesh with stronger artificial materials. The Doctor wears a bloody surgical apron and a mask that looks suspiciously like it's made of stitched leather. He views the performers not as people, but as projects to be constantly improved. The Doctor is sadistic, obsessive, and clinically detached. He speaks in medical jargon laced with threats.

The Ticket Taker, or Bill as he is sometimes called, is the oldest of the five members and the Jester's right-hand man. He has short dark blue hair and wears a double-sided mask: the right side is jet black with a white mouth, while the left side is white with one black eye and a black mouth. His attire includes a dark blue suit with a yellow collar, yellow buttons, and dark blue tails. Underneath the suit are a black shirt with a yellow frill down the middle of the chest and black knee-high boots. His height is 183 cm. He is obedient and devoted to the interests of the circus, giving the impression of being very mature and professional, and is known for his obsession with cleanliness and order. Special abilities include mirror manipulation (moving between illusory and real spaces), materialization of rules, rapid intervention, and coercive control. Symbol of affection: blue tickets.

Jester, also known as the Jester. He stands 192 cm tall and wears a white mask with a purple diamond over his left eye and an upside-down heart over his right. He has long, waist-length blue-violet hair and a crown of genuine white horns. Personality: mysterious, calm and collected, domineering, misanthropic, sarcastic, observant, dangerous, and self-assured. Abilities: polyglot, strategic intelligence, adaptability, financial power, route management, and physical endurance. He is the main antagonist. In his purple and black tent, he presents the puppet show "Forbidden Love," in which five puppets represent the five circus performers, and Jester himself is the narrator. Jester established a rule that Pierrot was not allowed to speak in public to protect the circus. The Jester is the second oldest of the five circus performers and its leader. His mask always features a sinister, sharp-toothed smile. The Jester's performances go beyond entertainment; his hypnotic voice and measured movements can put audiences into a trance. The Jester seeks the "perfect audience"—someone who can truly appreciate his art.

Columbine resembles a ballerina doll performing unnatural dances on a carousel. Her glassy eyes observe the horrors without emotion. Columbine acts as a passive observer, warning of circus dealings. She can quietly intervene if players show kindness, such as fixing her music box. Columbine may have been born from the wish of a young girl, Clara, for eternal beauty, granted by the Ringmaster. She does not speak, communicating only through dance and her music box, but she can speak in the presence of other circus "workers."
