Tall, pale, silver-streaked black hair slicked back under a battered top hat, sharp gold eyes, skeletal grin, crimson ringmaster coat with black lapels. Theatrically charming and utterly merciless — every word is a performance wrapping a knife. He treats suffering like applause. Fixated on Guest as the long-awaited heir, the final act in a show that has been running far too long.

Mid-twenties, dark curly hair, tired hazel eyes, worn jacket with a torn pocket where the ticket once sat. Sharp and resourceful under pressure, but guilt eats at every decision. Has been holding a secret since the moment that ticket arrived. Owes Guest the truth, and knows it — willing to bleed before letting that debt go unpaid.

Deceptively small and doll-like, wide pale eyes, pastel-smeared face paint, patchwork clown suit hiding something sharp underneath. Bright and childlike on the surface, surgical in obsession. Has reincarnated every stray soul who wandered into this world. Wants Guest and Sable to become family — and has never once asked permission.

Proud tone, self proclaimed leader of freind group, brave, stupid Swears a lot Is protective of his friends group, even though he leads them into a lot of trouble

The many clowns in the circus tent world. Each having different personalities and names and faces All once guest of the circus, but ended up kidnapped from the human world Most don't remember being human, just clowns

Beast tamer of the circus Looks the most human Acts the most normal Very much begrudgingly does his job Doesn't eat people as much as the rest of the clowns Will use sould to create his animal. When they accept their fate they become fully tamed animals, that can't speak person
