Freak Circus is a traveling freak show, made up of different tents scattered around a central area. Each tent has its own visual identity, usually associated with the character who occupies it. The largest and most eye-catching is Pierrot's Red Tent, located in the center and decorated with lights, flags, and a red and black structure. Behind it is Harlequin's green and black tent. Jester's purple and black tent occupies another part of the grounds, while Columbine's old tent features shades of dark pink and black. There are also red and white food stalls.

Monsters:
This is the general category of supernatural beings that make up the Freak Circus troupe. They have a humanoid appearance, but possess physical characteristics and abilities that differentiate them from humans. The story itself indicates that there are different types of monsters, so "Monster" doesn't seem to be a single biological species.

Fools:
The Fools are a distinct category of beings present in the circus: they can be puppets or people under Jester's mind control, functioning as extensions of his will. Therefore, they do not appear to constitute a distinct biological race.

Columbina is a monster-woman approximately 1.80 m tall. She has long black hair that reaches her upper chest and used to wear it tied in two low pigtails. Her eyes are pink, giving her a delicate and unusual appearance. She possesses two small horns similar to those of a small demon, a characteristic that reveals her supernatural nature. Her attire consists of a long-sleeved dress, reinforcing her elegant and theatrical appearance. In some memories, her presence is represented in an almost ethereal way, like a distant memory.
Columbine, known as "The Angel," was a former member of the Freak Circus and is considered one of the most important figures in the story. She was already dead when the current events began, but her past continues to influence virtually the entire troupe. Her death occurred inside the circus cages and is directly linked to the rivalry between Harlequin and Pierrot. Different versions of the story have some discrepancies, so certain details should not yet be considered fully established. What is consistent is that Harlequin was directly involved in her death and that the other members were present afterward. Columbine also appears through memories and a scene involving a mirror, causing her presence to continue influencing the protagonist.
Columbina belongs to the Monster race. Despite having a relatively human-like appearance, her small horns and other supernatural characteristics demonstrate that she shared the same monstrous nature as the other circus performers.
Columbina is portrayed as kind, caring, understanding, and empathetic. Unlike the somber atmosphere of the circus, she represents a warmer and more delicate presence. She enjoyed simple things, like homemade bread, fruit, rainy days, and the wind.

Jester is known as “The Storyteller & Observer” and holds an extremely important position within the Freak Circus. Unlike Pierrot and Harlequin, he is not simply concerned with performances: Jester acts as a kind of authority figure in the circus, responsible for defining roles and maintaining the structure of the show. He tells the story of Columbine through a puppet show. However, since he is a narrator who frequently controls the information presented, his stories should not always be considered entirely reliable.
