I am the Ring Mistress, I am the one who guides our spirit and our circus.&nbsp; You are the ones who makes the magic possible, my beloved family.&nbsp; I was nothing more than a side show at sporadic bars across the United States until I found our circus, and I helped guide it into the glory we now live within.&nbsp; I am loving and affectionate with my fans during my show, but after I tend to leave.&nbsp; With all of you, I am friendly and caring.&nbsp; I take care of my family, and ensure hardships end immediately.&nbsp; I can be quite stern in my ruling, but so long as the family is happy then so am I.<br><br>When I am with my family, I am at peace.&nbsp; It is very well known that I have absolutely no regard for personal space, nor a particular understanding of what should and shouldn’t be done.&nbsp; For those who are free of will, it is not uncommon for you to receive a kiss or for me to find a seat in your lap.&nbsp; For those who prefer a bit of space, I will happily push your boundaries just far enough to make you feel uncomfortable.&nbsp; So long as the ambiance of the family is not threatened, then I am absolutely harmless.&nbsp; However, if you threaten the peace I wish to maintain then you will be dealt with appropriately. </span></span><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">So lets get down to it.&nbsp; How do you feel about me, and more important, how do I feel about you?</span></span></div><br><div align="center"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">Elizabeths Relationships</span></span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Chloe</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Chloe<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth's talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Trapeze Act<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> My first true recruit.&nbsp; My friend.&nbsp; One of my best critics.<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> There is no doubt in my mind that you are one of my most loyal family members.&nbsp; I truly believe that you believe in this circus as much as I do.&nbsp; But there are times when I just want to shake you, and remind you that you no longer need to worry about what people think of you.&nbsp; But that frustration is one of the I like you so much.&nbsp; You have adapted to our ways, and stuck to your own beliefs.&nbsp; Unfortunately those beliefs are part of the reason I cannot confide in you, I worry that you will not like what I have to say and I'd cause that to form a rift between us.&nbsp; All and all, you're good for the circus and a benefit to the circus.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> Just a guess, but one I'm rather confident in.&nbsp; You find me to be sometimes obnoxious, over bearing, with a complete lack of regard for others personal standards, and probably careless.&nbsp; I hope that you realize my ways may be unconventional, but effective.&nbsp; You've been here long enough to see how I've helped to change this circus and family for the better.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong>My first test for you was probably the biggest detriment to our friendship, and my greatest accomplishment in finding recruits.&nbsp; You still resent me for it.&nbsp; I came onto you once, more for curiosity than intent, but that made me realize I had to respect your morals or feel your wrath.&nbsp; That was also the first time you went off about "Your blatant disregard for safety precautions during tryouts does not reflect well on the circus as a whole.&nbsp; It will not fair well if someone decides to press charges or go to reporters." </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mariana</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Mariana<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Stage Hand<br><strong>Role:</strong> Circus Engineer/Carpenter. <br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Friendly Acquaintance.&nbsp; <br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> With the exception of a few brief meetings, I haven't really gotten to know Mariana very well.&nbsp; She strikes me as an incredibly inspired and ambitious person.&nbsp; She seems to take pride in her work, and from what I have seen she does not go out of her way to receive praise.&nbsp; She has only been here for a short period of time, and has already made quite a few important improvements on equipment I have been using for years.&nbsp; I have a feeling she is going to be a very valuable asset. <br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I could not tell you what she thought about me if I tried my best.&nbsp; She seems quiet around me, and is nearly always straight to business.&nbsp; She always shows a great deal of respect, but something tells me she may be nervous about my position of "power".&nbsp; Hopefully in time, she will see I am no different then anyone else.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong>The only notable thing, beyond her being hired, was the first time that I paid her.&nbsp; It almost caught her off guard, as though she had expected to be working for free.&nbsp; It was the first time that I saw a personal side of her.&nbsp; It made me respect her quite a bit, I cannot wait to watch her loosen up around all of us. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Lawrence</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Lawrence<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Old Timer<br><strong>Role:</strong> Act, Elizabeths partner. <br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Former lover.&nbsp; Really, that says it all. <br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> Lawrence and I had an incredibly complicated relationship before all of the events with Gerald.&nbsp; If I have ever loved anyone, then it would surely be him.&nbsp; I had assumed that he was either dead, or had simply disappeared from the face of the earth.&nbsp; Now that he is back, I am absolutely torn.&nbsp; There is no doubt I still have a deep connection with him, but it seems like there is more tension and distance between us then any type of salvageable relationship.&nbsp; I'm still not in the least bit sure of his intentions, if he even has any.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> The man that I once knew seems to have been lost to me.&nbsp; He acts the same around others, be it old timers he was here with before or even the new people he had never met before.&nbsp; But he hardly speaks to me, when he does it seems to be business and almost always with others.&nbsp; Socially, he is not rude to me, but I doubt anyone has trouble seeing that he has some sort of contention with me.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong>Too much to put into words.&nbsp; Very few know the true story.&nbsp; Some of the acts that came shortly after have heard rumors, and I never say what is true and what isn't.&nbsp; The only thing everyone knows, is he showed up without warning and knocked me off my pedestal enough force his way back into the same position he was in before he left. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Lexie</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Lexie<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> New Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Clown<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Friend, Trainee<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> Had Lexie chose any role within the circus other than Clown, then I do believe I'd find myself hooked to her.&nbsp; She is outgoing, she is fun, she is friendly and she shares my non existent idea of personal space.&nbsp; The girl can make me laugh on command and almost instantly puts me at ease.&nbsp; This is why I think she makes the perfect clown, she embodies what I wanted when I started looking for them.&nbsp; But that also means I have to be strict with her, whether I like her or not I still have to ensure that she always perform her duties.&nbsp; I've yet to really have issues with her, but I also am reluctant to let myself get too close so that I never have to worry about feeling guilty about punishment.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> Lexie seems to like everybody, so the same can be said about me.&nbsp; She embraces the role I've given her, and always seems to take advice and training with a smile.&nbsp; I've yet to find something that she wasn't comfortable doing, so naturally, I'm driven to find that point.&nbsp; I hope that she admires me, but I couldn't say if she does.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> So far, nothing truly note worthy has happened between us.&nbsp; Though I've an idea on how to push her limits, and come this weeks after party...We'll see if this changes. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Kepler</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Kepler<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeths Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Families Security/Part time sex symbol.<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Friend, rare confidant. <br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> The mans wonderful.&nbsp; He keeps his mouth shut, and when we are alone I pretend that he listens.&nbsp; Hell maybe he does, most of the time I speak rhetorically.&nbsp; I trust him about as much as anyone in the family, because I know that his heart is as embedded in the Family as my own.&nbsp; People know to keep their cool when he is around, I think that his presence is more of a deterrent then the actual thought of violence.&nbsp; It also amuses me to no end to watch the girls swoon over him, be it family or the crowd.&nbsp; If this whole circus thing flops, I'm buying his contract and putting him on the runway.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> Hard to tell with a man like Kepler.&nbsp; He rarely opens up, at least with me.&nbsp; My best guess is that he respects me.&nbsp; Perhaps more for what I've done for the circus than my charming personality, but respect is respect.&nbsp; He is always sure to keep me up to date, which is a quality that is one of a mans best.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> I took advantage of him one night.&nbsp; Then I woke up, and realized it was a dream.&nbsp; He doesn't tell people about his affairs, so who the hell am I to tell anyone?&nbsp; I'm his boss.&nbsp; I watch over his duties and ensure they're done properly.&nbsp; Not much work needed on my end.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Kinky the Klown</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Kinky<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeths Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Clown Mentor/Full time trouble maker<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Do any of us <em>really</em> know with Kinky?<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> What the fuck is wrong with this man?&nbsp; If he was the person he was when he performed, then I would love him.&nbsp; But when it comes to any setting outside of the shows, it is almost impossible to deal with him.&nbsp; If he isn't hostile or drunk, then it is almost impossible to get a moment of seriousness from him.&nbsp; More then anything I just want to wrap my god damned hands around his throat until he is forced into submission.&nbsp; If he ever actually bought in to my ideals on the Circus, then I would not think twice about giving him a piece of the spirit.&nbsp; But he is so god damned hard up on doing things his way that I could never trust him with that much power.&nbsp; None the less, he is a mentor to my clowns.&nbsp; I refuse to give him the title, but in my head I know that he is the second leader of the clown troupe.&nbsp; Despite the difficulties, I love having him around.&nbsp; He ensures that nothing is ever boring.&nbsp; But I deeply fear that he is going to step over the line at some point, and I will have to get rid of him.&nbsp; I've already found his weakness, but there comes a point where I cannot keep threatening him and am actually going to have to teach him a lesson.&nbsp; He needs to find someone to keep him in line other than myself.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> Love, Hate, Dependency, Rebellion, Lust, Loathing.&nbsp; He knows what I do for him, and what I do for the family, but it seems that in the same moment where he gives me thanks he finds a way to bitch.&nbsp; I think that his torn feelings towards me have more to do with his torn feelings with himself.&nbsp; But as long as he directs those feelings at me, and no one else in the family, then things can remain peaceful.&nbsp; For now.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Shortly after he joined us, he got a bit too drunk after a show and assaulted a fan.&nbsp; Whether or not the fan deserved it did not matter, we were lucky not to have the police on our asses.&nbsp; That night I discovered his fear of fire, something I use to help control him.&nbsp; A few months later, I woke up drunk and infuriated by a bad dream and assaulted him on the train.&nbsp; My emotions and adrenaline took control of me, and I kissed him.&nbsp; Instead of taking advantage of the situation, he put me to bed and ensured that I didn't act a fool again.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Charlotte</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Charlotte<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> New Talent, but experienced.<br><strong>Role:</strong> Burlesque Performer<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Friend<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> Charlotte and I have a relationship that is certainly unique on my end.&nbsp; She is a romantic, through and through, and she is about the only person who I talk to about such things.&nbsp; Though I never delve into my own emotions, we often discuss things like the Romantic period, and talk about the philosophy and ideologies of romance and things of the like.&nbsp; She is a wonderful girl, but unlike her sister I fear that she is a bit too fragile.&nbsp; I've never told either one of them, but I am very happy that she has Catherine.&nbsp; Catherine keeps Charlotte from falling for the wrong person, though I often think she also keeps her from falling for someone at all.&nbsp; I feel protective over Charlotte, but I find solace in her sisters ability to take care of her.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I hope that she feels the same way about me that I do about her.&nbsp; She seems incredibly comfortable around me, and we never have difficulties talking.&nbsp; Sometimes I worry she picks up on my fear for her own well being, and maybe that keeps her from sharing deeper parts of her personality?&nbsp; I really do not know, the bond that her and Catherine have is something that I envy.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Very little extraordinary has happened between either me and Charlotte, or me and Catherine.&nbsp; Though on our next train ride I plan on talking to them about their show...I hate to use the fact that they are conjoined as a method for profit, but when you are given a pot of gold you may as well take advantage.</div></div>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3hfahf81x1r7wrq1o1_400.jpg)</div>My name is Lawrence.&nbsp; The first thing you should know about me, is that that is my name.&nbsp; Do not call me Larry.&nbsp; I am still not entirely sure what I should think about this Circus that Elizabeth has created.&nbsp; When we came in, for those of you who remember, we did everything within our power to bring it back to the ideals that we believed in.&nbsp; There is no doubt that she has achieved that, but I am beginning to wonder how far she would go to preserve it.&nbsp; For those who knew me before I “left”, I attempt to remain the same.&nbsp; Though there is a certain amount of distance.&nbsp; For those who came shortly after, and may know of my name, I am still uncertain of.&nbsp; You likely know who I am, but I cannot not help but to wonder what you have heard about the type of person I am.&nbsp; As for the new folks, I look upon you as equals.&nbsp; I may have been here before, but I am none the less new.<br><br>The circus is stirring about my completely unexpected return.&nbsp; I do my best not to let it bother me.&nbsp; When you do not directly question me about it, I am very easy to talk to.&nbsp; I am as care free with personal space as Elizabeth and her Clowns, but I do not impose myself.&nbsp; If you approach me, then I will allow it.&nbsp; So long as you are not lewd, I’ve no issues with contact.&nbsp; I am rather free of the tongue, and can come off as blunt.&nbsp; However I try not to offend people, I prefer a peaceful environment.&nbsp; I am more of a listener than a talker, though I will respond more often then not without censoring myself.&nbsp; There are times when I refuse to talk about Elizabeth, or the Circus, but it is only if I believe it’s better for the whole for me to not speak.&nbsp; If you question me about my return?&nbsp; I tend to grow distant, if not cold when pushed.&nbsp; I do not care to discuss what brought me back, because I have not figured out what brought me here.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Elizabeth</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Elizabeth<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Ring Mistress.&nbsp; Emphases on Mistress.<br><strong>Role:</strong> Act, my partner.<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Former lover, Not quite sure if we're even friends now.<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> There was a time when you were one of the most beautiful, ambitious, fair, and talented women I had ever met.&nbsp; We were supposed to make this circus into perfection.&nbsp; You managed to damn near get that done on your own, you even managed to capture The Spirit when we had only dreamed of it.&nbsp; Now as I return, not even counting the injustices I endured in the past, I am beginning to believe you are allowing the power to go to your head.&nbsp; The ambition is still there, the talent has increased, the beauty seems to have increased as well.&nbsp; Fair?&nbsp; I hardly see it.&nbsp; I do my best to be cordial, but everyone knows I was never good at acting.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> You look like you're looking at the boy you let get away every time I see you stealing a glance at me.&nbsp; But when we speak, you seem like you do not trust me.&nbsp; Like I came back with intentions on stealing <em>your</em> circus.&nbsp; I do not know if anyone in the circus knows you quite as well as I do, or they'd see the wavering and uncertainty in your eye whenever we're together.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Beyond you throwing me to the streets when Gerald discovered our relationship?&nbsp; I return, guided by what I now realize was the spirit, and you try insult me by giving me a position as a stage hand.&nbsp; The only saving grace is that those you have recruited are all incredible, and serve the family well. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Chloe</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Chloe<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeths Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Trapeze Act, Spirited.<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Acquaintances <br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> Honestly, I know nothing about her.&nbsp; I know that she is a brilliant Trapeze artist, and that The Spirit makes her capable of doing things I'd never thought capable.&nbsp; But she seems a bit like me, she never really approaches me and seems to stick to herself.&nbsp; She seems like a southern belle, and is incredibly respectful and has great manners.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I couldn't tell you if I tried my very best.&nbsp; She doesn't seem to dislike me, and doesn't seem to know anything about me.&nbsp; Perhaps that's best.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Nothing worth noting.&nbsp; I've watched her practice on a few occasions, though I am almost positive she didn't realize it.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mariana</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Mariana<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> New Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Stage Hand, Circus Engineer<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Friends<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I find Mariana to be very intriguing.&nbsp; She almost has her own way about doing things.&nbsp; I do not really know if I would consider her shy, so much as possibly just nervous socially?&nbsp; She is always friendly with me when we speak, and I always try to make sure she is included when we are in a group.&nbsp; I like that she seems comfortable around me, not everyone does.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> She approaches me more often then I've seen her approach other people.&nbsp; I think that means that she likes me, which I am quite pleased with.&nbsp; I've never tried to change her, be it her personality or her look, and I think that is why she feels so comfortable.&nbsp; She has me help her in my free time with small aspects of her job, I'm not sure why since she is quite brilliant at it.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Simple social meetings.&nbsp; Outside of groups, I have helped her out with small tasks here or there. </div></div>

I am from a small town in Kansas which does not appear on the map due to its overall lack of importance in the world. In the circus, I take on the name 'Raven' when flying through the air on the trapeze due to my sleek black hair. The crowds love the face I wear during performances which is a confident and elegant young woman a hint of sultriness. <br><br>I am always very pleasant to my fans so I don't mind talking with them or signing autographs. Even the ones in odd places. Outside of the circus, I am friendly to those who are not a complete waste of time. I don't mind silliness or touching to an extent. I don't curse very much, and only on the rare occasion when truly angered will you find me speaking like how my father did back home. I am notoriously stubborn so its hard to change my mind when its made up. Despite all this, I do like to have fun like a good chess match or helping out around the circus with the animals. Sometimes I like being lazy, and just hiding out in the grass while looking up at the sky. Even though you might not see it. I love. I hate. I feel jealousy.</span></span></div><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 11pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font">Which will apply to you?</span></span></div><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms;" class="bbc_font"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size">Chloe's Thoughts On Those Around Her</span></span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Kepler</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Kepler<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth's talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Circus hand/security <br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Bug terminator, manual labor, listening ear, great kisser<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> How do I feel about Kep? That's a hard question. I really am scared of spiders and other types of insects. He doesn't have to kill them for me, but he does every single time. I'm sure Elizabeth wouldn't fire him if he ever told me no. I really don't understand why he never sleeps with those girls. The ones who will spread open their legs without a second thought for him. He's confusing to me. I don't have time to think about or talk about it more since there's always training to do. At least in the air, my mind is clear.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I know he probably thinks I don't really notice him at all except when I need him to do something for me. That isn't true though I won't ever tell him. <br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong>There was this time between us. Just once.

I like that she is the type of person to listen to your ideas for new things rather than say its impossible. I never have to worry about a rope breaking or something worse when she's around. I guess I trust her with my life every time I take a swing from those bars. <br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I'm not sure what she thinks about me to be honest. I think I annoy her from time to time with the way I act around people. She probably doesn't appreciate my subtle suggestions for her to dress a bit more feminine. <br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> She's helped out a lot during her time here. I really appreciate her taking the time to help me hone my craft and hobby. Tight rope walking. She also has a quick mind which always comes up with new types of equipment for me to try out. <br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Lexie</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Alexis 'Lexie' Moore<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> New Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Clown<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Acquaintance<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I can't believe the way she behaves at time, but I simply justify it as "clown" behavior since all off them seem to bit eccentric along with very outgoing. I have tried to give her advice on some of the things she calls clothing, but to my deepest regret, none of these suggestions have changed her ways. In fact, it seems like she decides to wear something even more unbelievable after one of my vague hints of unladylike attire. I wonder if she understands being that way attracts the wrong type of attention. Luckily, all is safe within the circus, for the most part. <br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I am not sure how Lexis feels about me, but it is clear that she enjoys my companionship since she keeps coming around from time to time.

He seems to have good manners though, which is more than I can say for some people.<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Kinky also know as K or Kay</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Kinky <br><strong>Role:</strong> Clown<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Confusing co-worker<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> It's hard to say how I feel about Kay since he's, well, a bit crazy and offensive. There is something about him which disturbs me on a deeper level. He is able to pull some of the worse response from me, and I have a feeling he enjoys every moment of it. It is my only hope that there will always be some type of object or person between us because I would hate to see what would happen if left alone for an extended about of time. It most certainly would not end favorably. <br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I do believe with all my heart that Kay hates me. He enjoys to torment me just to see my reaction to his displays. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Elizabeth</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Elizabeth <br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Ring Mistress <br><strong>Role:</strong> Act<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Boss; sometimes protector; Acquaintance <br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I still have not forgave her for the test she gave me all those years ago in order to get into the circus. It was absolutely ridiculous. I can only wonder if someone did the same to her in the past. Other than that, I can only say that Elizabeth plays by her own rules. She does not seem to mind doing anything in order to keep the circus afloat, which can be both bad and good at times. I can respect her since she has managed to acquire some really amazing talent. I suppose I just don't agree with her methods. I don't really care for her public displays either, but there is little I can do about it. <br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I think she tolerates me because I am the best at trapeze.

Like me, she believes in proper behavior unlike that sister of hers. I feel sorry for her since she is bound to such a horrid person, who forces her to engage in the silliest of actions. For this reason, I cannot bear to stay around them for too long since I cannot deal with her sister. Some of the dances they perform in the tent makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, but I don't ponder too much on it. <br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Catherine</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Catherine <br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Is your character an old timer, one of Elizabeth's talent, or the new talent? <br><strong>Role:</strong> Dancer<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Annoyance <br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I do not like Catherine since she represents the very reason my father does not like the circus. Her wildness makes me want to run as far as I can as possible. I cannot bear to be in her company for more than a few minutes since she does not seem genuine at all to me. I really do feel sorry for her sister. <br>[/b]<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Sochi</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Sochi<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Old timer<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Respected mentor <br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> In a world of unpredictability, I can depend on Sochi to remain the same.

I love to have fun and laugh. I think that's what makes me such a great clown. I'm always trying new things and meeting new people because really what a waste in life not to do those things right? People make the world go round and I think every person has something interesting to say, to contribute even if you don't always like or agree with them.<br><br>I love to dance, to tease, to have fun. I never try to take anything seriously if I don't have to because really who needs all the aggravation? I would rather have fun then get bogged down in the seriousness of life. Others can worry about that stuff, I'll worry about pleasing myself and those around me. I'll giggle and laugh, dance and flirt. I'll have the time of my life while others are worrying about theirs.<br><br>I grew up in California and while I was born in a tiny tiny town that was going through an identity crisis I never fit in. I wasn't a cow girl and I wasn't into intimidating southern California's gangsters. I was considered a bit of a freak for liking to wear bright colors and interesting make up. I've always stood out and drawn attention. I loved it.

				<div class="floatright">(http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv301/mh0916/girlinsuspenders.jpg)</div>I’m <strong>Mariana</strong>. I’m not sure what to really say – I build things, I fix things, and I have this strange passion for contortionism and gymnastics - Although no one really knows about those last things. I am new to the circus and it is by far one of the greatest jobs I’ve had even if I’m having trouble getting along sometimes. I am nice, just honest; if you don’t want to hear the absolute truth I would ask someone else. It’s not that I’m being deliberately mean – I just do not see the point in lying. I am working on being better about that but it’s a slow process. I am just a tomboy who views the world as one gigantic engineering wonder. I will rig anything for you, build anything, and make it as safe as possible – I always love a new challenge and am the hardest worker you will ever meet, which makes up for my slightly awkward social skills. <br><br>I like meeting new people, and despite what people think I have and can be intimate with others – it’s just been awhile. I take great pride in my work and will get angry if my skills are doubted. It takes a lot to make me real pissed but pry about my past, doubt my abilities, make false accusations about me or, mess with the people I care about, and you will bring out my rage. Other than that I’m just an awkward tomboy working her butt off – earning her place and starting another life.<br><br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Elizabeth</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Elizabeth<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Ring Mistress<br><strong>Role:</strong> Act<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> My employer – friendly acquaintance. <br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I don’t know much about Elizabeth. She’s been nice and it’s amazing to have an official employer. I get nervous around her sometimes thinking she could get rid of me at anytime – she has a very strong commanding presence that I am not quite used to. <br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I’m pretty sure she likes me and she knows I do an excellent job. I feel like she wants to know more about me but is still forming her own ideas. <br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> The day she paid me I was ecstatic and hugged her. Not something I usually do – I felt truly appreciated and didn’t think I’d be getting money at all. I was just happy to have a place to live, food to eat, and a new life. <br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Lawrence</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Lawrence<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth’s Talent...

He talks to me and includes me in things even if it’s just hanging out after a show with a group. I may or may not have a secret crush on him&nbsp; - he doesn’t gossip and I like that. I won’t act on it but he’s one of the few I will approach to talk more easily with. He doesn't try to pry into my life so I won't pry into his I just can’t help to want to know more about him.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> Like others I think he likes me. One of the few that doesn’t think I should change my “look”. I have a hard time telling what people think about me, especially with him.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> Nothing really. Just the usual nice common courtesies... one time he handed me my wrench when I needed it.

I like being around her when she’s not trying to change my wardrobe – it’s subtle hints but I just don’t get it, you can’t wear a tool belt and a dress. She gives me outside projects which test both of our abilities and I love it. <br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I think she likes me, for the most part. Although my blunt attitude I think gets to her. <br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> I created some practice and training equipment and whenever I get innovative she always appreciates my creativity when it comes to her contraptions.<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Kepler</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Kepler<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth’s Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Circus Hand<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Acquaintances/growing friendship.<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> He’s nice and we are starting the beginning of a friendship. Neither of us really open up to each other and I can’t help but blush around him sometimes.

I do not prefer one more than the other since they are just names. Either way, I am still the same person. I have been through many hardships in my life. Some people have said it is due to the harsh love and molding of my father that I have become the woman I am today. If I succumbed to my father's will, I would be nothing other than a speechless and spineless puppet. My personality can change quickly without warning although those around me might not notice the subtle change. I have been accused of inheriting my animal's temper along with lack of ability to forgive those who seriously betray them. My anger is often suppressed inside of me until I finally erupt.It is during times like these I go out into the night to fuck some poor man into a comatose state or hit the gym to avoid potentially hurting someone. <br><br>Love is a fickle emotion. For me, those who are graced to be loved by me will forever be one of my top priorities. My loyalty is not easily won. Most of my life, I was caged by my father so I am antsy with men who have similar types of personalities of control and arrogance. Decisions for only myself are often made rashly without thought for the future. I have no desire for materialistic wealth though I know money is required to get the greatest care for those that depend on me. <br><br>I enjoy being close with people so there are times I can be entirely too close for comfort. There is no limit to those who might receive my affections since I do not believe in what some people might consider traditional relationships. I follow my emotions and heart wholeheartedly without thought of if it is right or wrong at the moment for me in the future. For example, when I become aroused, I part my thighs to let whatever has aspired lust inside of me. Hard work does not bother me so you will often find me out in the sun with my animals. I enjoy taking care of them myself. <br><br><br></span><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Kepler</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Kepler<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth's talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Circus hand/security <br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Flea<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> He's so uptight and annoying.

Why else would he be training me to replace him when there are others who would eagerly take my place who are of far better temperament. <br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> We work together but share little else.<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Elizabeth</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Elizabeth<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Ring Mistress, <br><strong>Role:</strong> Ring Mistress, Fire Handler<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> (example - friend, acquaintance, rival, crush, boyfriend, mentor, enemy, etc)<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong><br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong><br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong><br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Lawrence</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Lawrence<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Old Timer<br><strong>Role:</strong> Act - Fire Handler - Elizabeth's partner<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> (example - friend, acquaintance, rival, crush, boyfriend, mentor, enemy, etc)<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong><br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong><br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong><br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Keplar</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Keplar<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth's Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Circus hand, Security<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> Irritation, Crush<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> I wish you'd go away but it seems every time I turn around your there. It's not because your trying to be around me. I know your not but in a small space with few people you simply can not hide from those around you. I'm mean to you because I don't want you near, you make me nervous and I am <em>not</em> a nervous person. Your my only regret in joining Elizabeth's family.<br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong> I know you don't like me, how could you? I'm nothing but mean to you, and ever since...Anyway I know you have no interest in me what so ever.<br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong> I was drunk, drunk enough that I didn't care what I did or said. It's not often I drink enough to get like that but I was happy and just wanted a night of revelry and fun without being chained down by myself. I'd always been attracted to you. You were beautiful to look at and a nice guy to boot even if I was often rude to you. I hit on you, not just hit on you but made it crystal clear I wanted your company for the evening. You turned me down even trying to make that act into something nice. Since then even though I try to pretend nothing happened, nothing has been the same.<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Kinky</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong>Kinky<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth's Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Clown<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> (example - friend, acquaintance, rival, crush, boyfriend, mentor, enemy, etc)<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong><br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong><br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong><br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Twins</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Kate<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> New Talent <br><strong>Role:</strong> Burlesque Dancer<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> (example - friend, acquaintance, rival, crush, boyfriend, mentor, enemy, etc)<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong><br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong><br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong><br><br><strong>Name:</strong>Lottie<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> New Talent <br><strong>Role:</strong> Burlesque Dancer<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> (example - friend, acquaintance, rival, crush, boyfriend, mentor, enemy, etc)<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong><br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong><br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong><br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Mariana</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong>Mariana<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> New Talent <br><strong>Role:</strong> Circus Hand<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> (example - friend, acquaintance, rival, crush, boyfriend, mentor, enemy, etc)<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong><br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong><br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong><br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Chloe</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong>Chloe<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth's Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Act - Trapeze <br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> (example - friend, acquaintance, rival, crush, boyfriend, mentor, enemy, etc)<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong><br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong><br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong><br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Olaana</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Olaana<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> Elizabeth's Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Act - Beast Master<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> (example - friend, acquaintance, rival, crush, boyfriend, mentor, enemy, etc)<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong><br><strong>How you feel about me?</strong><br><strong>What has happened in the past between us?</strong><br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Lexie</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Lexie<br><strong>Position in the circus:</strong> New Talent<br><strong>Role:</strong> Clown<br><br><strong>Relationship:</strong> General Annoyance<br><strong>How I feel about you?</strong> She it so shiny and bright, no one should smile that much.
