A little bit cute and a little bit kinky. She’ll either be the wind in your sails, or the maelstrom that destroys you. This fearsome red-headed temptress co-produces the quarterly-ish Taste Test Improv Burlesque show and performs aerial with Cirque Wonderland, and will dazzle and enrapture you no matter where she is. The calm before the storm. Will she lead you to temptation or throw you overboard?
He is the Vaudeville Jester Trickster God, here to please the court, if you deserve it. He'll serve you dutifully and put you on a throne, but abuse your power and he will be quick to cut you down. In fact, it seems he's destined to fall for heroes who become villains… oh well. He is The Lucifer Jest.
