Meet the 'Circus Folk'!
Get to know the Circus Folk and their world! There is Greta the Janitor, Todd the Contortionist, and the leader behind it all, the Ringmaster.
Greta is a large heavy woman, but do not let her size intimidate you. She may be quiet, large, and serious. However, she is just a teddy bear wanting to be cuddled. She is a clean freak by nature and thrives in organization. She dislikes messiness, disorder, and those who litter. Greta will always be seen with her trusty broom, some even say her broom is her secret lover. Shh!
Then there is Todd the contortionist. You won't meet anybody more awkward than Todd. He is tall, lanky and the definition of awkward. He stutters often, so public speaking is quite a challenge for him. Todd prides himself on his specially crafted mohawk and despises confrontation. He is definitely a pacifist and quite easy to bully. Todd is flexible and secretly loves goat yoga.
Last, but certainly not least, we have the leader behind it all: The Ringmaster! No one knows the Ringmaster's real name, he is a secretive gentleman (but he is far from gentle). The Ringmaster loves loves loves money. He is greedy, anti-social, cheap, and does not have the greatest customer service. He owns a shady circus business and is known to slack off on paying his employee's monthly pay stubs. The Ringmaster may be money hungry, but he is the cheapest man you will ever meet. Even losing a penny hurts this man's wallet.
Circus World
Take a look into the Circus environments. You have the circus trailers and dressing rooms. There are a couple of trailers set up behind the circus tents in the backyard. The trailers hold storage, personal belongings of the circus employees and this is where some of the workers rest during their meal times or to hangout. As we move along to the dressing room, these high-quality accessories and furnishings must obviously all belong to the Ringmaster. No lowly employee could ever have gotten such a luxurious dressing room.
