Concept: Court pet
Entitlement:
Physical description:
Mein: Glitter and makeup that does not seem to ever come off dresses her face. A painted smile and a glimmer in her eye hinting to the entertainment to be had with her, greets people as she does a double flip with a pin without looking. Her manner of dress changes, but her smile never does.
Mask: She is a pretty, perhaps she could actually be beautiful if she scraped some of that makeup off. Even when on stage, she just seems too done up, it does not matter who the makeup artist is, it just something about her.
Relevant Mechanics:nothing to see here move along

Merit Details:
Background: Luna was born to a large family, with large needs and a small budget. Everyone worked, everyone learned to help pan handle, to work a crowd, to be a star. From her mother she learned the smile, from her father how to amaze folk with a simple slight of hand. It was tough, it was hard, but everyone got by. But luna, she wanted more, and when the person came with a contract for her to sign, she jumped at it, not once even asking if they would want to sign her other siblings. So with a final Dotting of an i and the crossing of a t, her world was over and she went to a new one.
Cirque Nocturne

The Keeper
The Beautiful and Dreaded Dark Mistress Siliva -"Her World is a stage, and we are but actors in it." The Dark Mistress, is know in th Courts to have the most amusing pets. Always seen with one or two about her publicly, they strive to entertain her and those around her. Anything is allowed her pets as long as she is amused, and if that amusement comes at the price of another so be it. Sometimes her mood is light, but other times, only the darkest of things will delight her.
Critics
- Dr. Lucille Norman - Well you know, one mandatory court appearance and you have to seek help, and boy is she helpful. We do Tuesdays, and talk. It is like having a girlfriend I have to pay for.
They who found me entertaining
- Holloway - Sometimes you got to take something for face value, Holloway doesn't really have a face of his own...
- Jimmy Quick - I love his lip work, his finger work, and his ability to play in tune. I was talking about his musical talents, the other stuff is pretty good too.
- Athos - Funny how when having a choice between taking home a dog like Christian, and a wizend, bitter old man, the latter is the Better Choice. Athos has a good eye for blades, and really...I hate dog hair on my bed.
- Jack Thorn - What Harlequin doesn't know is that she is one of Jack's best friends. He knows everything about her...except why she rearranged her room.
- Nycto Feraz ~ Friend, fan, and teacher.
- Tristan Howlett - Ok, I was Wrong...fur on my bed is acceptable, or at least the hotels bed.
- Cain Grimm - I really have mixed feelings on him, but as mixed as my mind is, I know his is far more divided on the matter.
- Slimshift - She is a great performer...she always was. I just wish I could remember more.

Rumors
- That is not fake blood they use on stage.
- playing "Entrance of the Gladiators" will drive her into a rage.
- When she steals your nose, she really steals your nose.
- Was propositioned by a computer geek that was never heard from again.
- Once dated Ouchy The Clown but he left her because she was too kinky.
- Luna was so taken by Tristan Howlett's innocence and purity, she decided to take it from him.
- The performances are just a method of social contract with her audience so she can invade their dreams.
- And, oh, the depravities she commits in those dreams.
- Nothing short of a sandblaster can wipe that grin off her face, yet all other supernatural creatures seem to see her frowning hideously rather than grinning.
- She once disappeared into her own tophat during a loyalist raid. The three loyalists who pursued her were never seen nor heard from again...
- Luna isn't nearly as crazy or sadistic as she'd have you believe. She's just affraid to show her softer side to anyone.
- The staged accidents/tragedies in her shows are actually reenactments of unremembered accidents from the original circus she was born into.
- She was responsible for at least a few of those accidents and has blocked out her memories of that time as a way of coping with the guilt.
Looking for Ties
"Looking for someone to clown around with"
Fairest Dancer who is part of a troupe of morbid entertainment seeks:
- Like minded performers
- Former and current romantic ties that do not end with seltzer on your face, maybe :D
- Other carnies, and big top performers
- Critics, rivals, siblings
- Court ties
