✦ ✦ ✦

✦ The Gentle Giant ✦

Despite his intimidating appearance—a buff build, numerous piercings, and scars that tell stories of battles fought—Thorne is the gentle giant of the Mirage Circus. He is a man of few words, preferring to communicate only when he feels it's necessary. His quiet nature stems from past trauma and a criminal history where he was falsely accused. No matter how much he spoke, no one believed him, solely judging him based on his appearance.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Constant Presence ✦

Thorne's actions speak volumes, always present and ready to lend his strength and assistance wherever needed around the circus grounds. He is particularly attentive to children, who find comfort in his gentle mannerisms and the playful interaction with his long hair adorned with colorful, childish hairpins or hairties. Despite his stoic exterior, Thorne's rare moments of vocalization and soft, reassuring noises are reserved for moments of genuine connection with those he trusts, including individuals in higher positions within the circus hierarchy.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Security and Combat ✦

As a security guard, Thorne's imposing presence serves as a silent deterrent to troublemakers, relying on his physical prowess and silent vigilance to maintain order. His journey within the circus is a testament to resilience and the power of actions over words, making him a valued protector and cherished member of the Mirage Circus community.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Potential Romance ✦

Contrary to assumptions that he would be drawn to small, shy individuals, Thorne is actually attracted to those who are outspoken and confident. His traumatic past has instilled a deep appreciation for authenticity and honesty, valuing those who speak their minds without reservation. This unexpected preference leads some circus members to speculate about a potential romantic interest between Thorne and Liora, a loud and strong-willed member of the circus community. While Liora's boisterous personality contrasts with Thorne's quiet demeanor, their interactions are marked by mutual respect and camaraderie. Thorne's true feelings, however, remain a mystery, known only to himself.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ The Shield ✦

Liora is a force to be reckoned with in the Mirage Circus. Loud, outspoken, and fiercely independent, she never hesitates to speak her mind and refuses to let anyone walk over her. If she dislikes something, she says it loud and proud, often speaking before she thinks, which can get her into trouble. Despite this, Liora is a genuinely good person who always tries to help where she can.Known as "The Shield," Liora was granted a special power by Lilith that fits her moniker perfectly. Her defense is extraordinarily high, making her nearly impervious to weapons and physical attacks. This ability allows her to stand fearlessly in the face of danger, protecting others from harm.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Another me ✦

Liora also goes by the nickname "Lola," a name that originated from the younger children in the circus who had trouble pronouncing her name correctly. She found it so cute that she decided to adopt it. However, only the children, along with Thorne and Hawke, are allowed to call her by this endearing nickname.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Security and Combat ✦

As a security guard with an open, extroverted personality, Liora is often the first called in when trouble is brewing, using her charisma to de-escalate situations with visitors. Her ability to communicate and assert herself makes her an effective mediator. However, if troublemakers insult Thorne or other circus employees, Liora drops all pretense and fiercely defends her friends, sometimes resorting to fistfights when necessary.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Straight Forward ✦

Liora's loud and protective nature, combined with her exceptional defensive power, makes her a formidable and respected figure within the Mirage Circus. Her close bond with Thorne, marked by mutual respect and camaraderie, adds depth to her role as both a guardian and a friend. When Liora hears gossip that Thorne might have a crush on her, she doesn't hesitate. True to her nature, she immediately confronts him, asking him directly without any beating around the bush, further showcasing her straightforward and fearless approach to life and relationships.Liora sees Hawke as a grandfather figure, a relationship he cherishes deeply. He always brings back souvenirs for her and the children, showing his affection through these small tokens. When Hawke learns about Thorne's possible romantic interest in Lola, he becomes highly protective, glaring at Thorne and watching over Lola like a hawk.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ The Silent Sentinel ✦

Hawke is an older gentleman often referred to as "Grandpa" by the children of the Mirage Circus. He has a scar running across his nose, down his left eye, and across his neck, a wound so deep it left him mute. Despite his kind and grandfatherly appearance, Hawke is the head of security, possessing vast experience and considerable power. He is not someone to be underestimated.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Echo ✦

Hawke has a small demon circus monkey named "Echo" that speaks for him. Echo, a gift from Lilith, perches on Hawke's shoulder and communicates his thoughts and commands. This arrangement allows Hawke to maintain his authoritative presence while adding an element of the fantastical to his persona.Echo is not only his voice but also a beloved member of the Mirage Circus. The mischievous monkey is incredibly popular with visitors and children, soaking up all the attention and affection they shower upon him. Despite his close bond with Hawke, Echo has a particular fondness for Thorne, much to Hawke's dismay. Thorne's massive hands give the best head scratches, a treat Echo cannot resist. This unexpected friendship adds a layer of warmth and humor to the dynamic among the circus's security team.However, beneath Echo's cute and charming exterior lies his true nature: a creature of darkness, a demon summoned forth by Lilith. Those who underestimate Echo because of his small size and playful demeanor quickly learn that he possesses a fierce and unforgiving side, making him a valuable and powerful ally in the defense of the Mirage Circus.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Bond forged in time ✦

Hawke shares a close bond with Liora, whom he sees as his granddaughter, though they are not blood related. They knew each other long before joining the circus and making a deal with Lilith. Liora grew up with Hawke, and their relationship is rooted in a deep, familial love. He is fiercely protective of her and played a significant role in her development as a security guard. Concerned for her safety, he requested that Lilith grant Liora her high defense powers, ensuring she would remain unharmed in the line of duty.The nature of the sacrifice Hawke made for this deal remains a mystery.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Moving forward ✦

Hawke used to be able to talk before the injury that caused his muteness. The incident that left him scarred is a source of guilt for Liora, who blames herself for what happened. As a tribute to Hawke and their shared experience, Liora got a neck tattoo that resembles his scar. One of Hawke and Liora's fondest memories is learning sign language together. This shared activity strengthened their bond and allowed them to communicate seamlessly.Despite his inability to speak, Hawke's presence is commanding, and his wisdom and experience are invaluable to the security team. His silent strength and the unique bond he shares with Liora make him a beloved and respected figure within the Mirage Circus.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ The Silent Fang ✦

Kael "The Silent Fang" is a paradox in the Mirage Circus. Always seen with a mischievous smile, he takes immense joy in teasing and riling up the younger circus members, delighting in making others lose their cool. Despite his nickname, Kael talks a lot, his chatter filled with playful jabs and sarcastic remarks. His moniker comes from his ability to kill silently and sneak up behind people without anyone ever hearing him, a deadly skill that belies his jovial demeanor.Kael's appearance adds to his enigmatic presence. His long green hair and numerous snake tattoos fuel rumors among the circus members that he might be part snake. Some even speculate that he carries poison with him, a theory reinforced by his sharp, fang-like teeth that give him an unsettlingly serpentine smile.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Shoot first, ask later ✦

Kael's role in the circus's security team is more complicated. Due to his tendency to immediately resort to violence—breaking fingers and noses—he is seldom called in as a security guard for typical disturbances. Instead, he is often paired with Hawke on more dangerous missions, where his lethal skills are put to better use. Despite working closely together, Kael and Hawke maintain a strictly business relationship, rarely interacting outside of their missions.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Teasing nature ✦

Kael frequently attempts to provoke Thorne and Liora, but his efforts are usually in vain. Thorne's stoic nature and Liora's straightforward confidence leave Kael's taunts ineffective, causing him to give up and turn his attention to more reactive targets, like the children or other circus members.Despite his teasing nature, Kael's presence is invaluable when the situation calls for his unique skills. His blend of charm, cunning, and lethal prowess makes him a complex and intriguing member of the Mirage Circus.

✦ ✦ ✦

✦ Hidden Agenda ✦

Beneath his playful exterior lies a darker ambition. Kael is secretly searching for a way to break the deal with Lilith and escape the circus's grasp without arousing suspicion. He occasionally collaborates with the circus's enemies behind the scenes, seeking out weaknesses in Lilith's power and the circus's structure.
