Gistrion: The Woman in the Mask
A devilish smile is painted on her lips, and whirlpools swirl in her eyes. But the voice that escapes from her mouth is not her own—it is male, icy, alien.
Once, she was a child, locked away in solitude. A voice inside whispered:
“You are weak. Break yourself and put yourself back together.”
Thus, the mask was born—concealing her pain. And with it, the ability to unite those cast out by the world.
Brioche & The Doll Leia
Gistrion found Brioche in the ashes. His theater had been burned to the ground, the people calling him a devil—for the puppets he created moved on their own.
Only Leia survived—the first doll to whom he gave life.
Now, Brioche brings his puppets to life, both terrifying and mesmerizing his audience. And Leia… Leia dances too smoothly, too vividly—as if she knows what it means to be human.
Freya: The Woman of Silver
Her skin, like liquid metal, gleams under the moonlight. Gistrion found her at a fair, moving unseen through the crowd, slipping treasures from pockets with effortless grace.
“You can disappear, or you can become someone impossible to forget,” she said.
Freya stayed. And now, her mercury body is the brightest miracle of the circus.
Tightrope Walker Tai & The Siren Felxipea
The only sailor to survive the shipwreck heard the siren’s voice calling to him from the shore. She was an exile, tangled in nets.
Tai saved her, and she saved him in return. Wandering together, they eventually crossed paths with Gistrion.
Thus, Felxipea began to sing in the circus, enchanting the audience with her voice, while Tai conquered the heights of the big top, performing breathtaking tricks on the tightrope.
