Fears:
Change: She can't handle the idea of a lot of things possibly changing and not turning out well.
Closed in spaces: Circus tents are fine and so are train's and cars and such. But when in a room where the door closes and if people lock her in, she gets scared very fast and she can't handle it feeling like she can't breathe.
Failure: She can not stand failing the people she loves, and people who love her. If she fails people she panics, and hates letting people down, it's the last thing she wants, and she goes into hysterics if she does fail, it's more difficult for her to bounce back from that.

Personality:
Bell's persona doesn't vary too much between on stage and offstage. Bell is the same girl you get in the show and in person half the time, she holds her head up high and she let the confidence sink in afterwards. Bell takes pride in the work that she does, and she will always make sure people remember her by who she is and what she does, she loves to spread her talent with people, and generally is the biggest people pleaser she knows. She's charismatic and she loves to talk with people, and since she has a broad knowledge on things she can talk about quite a few different topics with people. Bell is a bit of a perfectionist though, and she can get very nit picky on certain things being a certain way, she always has been like that. She loves to please people, and if she can't do it perfectly or do it well she sees no point in trying.

One thing to note, is that Bell is normally very sophisticated. She's elegant and she moves with grace, talks smoothly, and she makes things a nice ride, instead of being wild and rebellious. She has always had manners and she goes on to be on her best behaviour. She has been taught since a young age, that manners and good attitude will always get you a long way, and so that's what she always strives for while being her. She maybe be a stick in the mud at times, but she plays things by the book, and she is consistent, and loves to be on task, most times she loves having to organize things, and it's known as a fact she has a bit of a OCD, but she's not completely boring, she's known to joke around with people here and there.

History:
Born on the 5th of December as a set of triplets to Olga and Nova Mishka, was Anastasia and her two brothers. She was the last of the triplets to be born, Kale and Preston being born before her. Their family life was always interesting to say the least, but eventually events happened where Olga and Nova were unfit parents and their kids were taken away from them and put in and orphanage.

For some reason, she always tried harder than her brothers to be a bad example so parents wouldn't adopt her, she wanted to go back to the way her family used to be, with all the laughter, the togetherness, and her biological parents. She was rather intelligent for the age of seven years old. She always wanted what all these other families had but it never seemed she'd get them. Eventually at the age of eight she was adopted into a British household where she gained a new sister and an older brother.

Her new family in England was a good one and she had what she always wanted but things just always seemed to be off still to her and she didn't like it. Though her new parents had enrolled her into ballet, and soon she took it up and she learned it, although anything she did wrong she'd get hit with the leather belt over and over again, if not by her ballet teacher it was by her new parents. She was beat for doing things wrong, and that was how she learned proper manners, elegance, and poise. It was literally beaten into her, and it's hard to ever do all those things that she was whipped into shape to do.

It wasn't until she saw the circus posters for the first time when she was eleven that she had decided that it had enticed her. She was super interested in it and she had wanted to see it so bad, but it wasn't something young ladies should be watching apparently and so she never did go and see it when she had wanted to. It was such a shame though, and she watched them all go off for quite awhile. Fast forward to when it came to town again, when she was sixteen years of age, before hand when she was fifteen she had been able to visit with her birth mother while she was on her death bed and that was when she was given the locket and she is still scared to open it to this day. Although the night of the circus being in town, she had been having problems at home with the beatings and such.

Eventually though, there was the first night of the circus which she missed out on, that was the night it happened. She was home alone with her older adoptive brother she was never too fond of. It was pretty brutal what happened. He had locked her up in her room and he was there, he locked her window so she had no means of escape, she tried to fight against him but he had pinned her against a wall and he had taken her innocence right from her, and when she tried to tell her adoptive parents about it, they beat her for lying about such foolish things and they called her a whore, slut, and many other things so she had, had enough. She packed a bag of her finest things and the things that meant most to her, which was a few changes of clothes, picture of her real and biological family, her mothers locket, and her ballet shoes. Annie was done with all of the beating and abuse she was getting. She ran away to see the circus and then eventually tried to sneak into the gig, but after they heard about her story, and saw the natural draw the elephant had to her, they decided to give her a chance, and later became Bellua otherwise known as "Bell" by her new found family at the circus.

Shiloh stood up from her crisscrossed position on the floor in her tent. Everyone in the circus had their own tent where they called home. Carnies slept, dressed, and basically did everything normal people would do in there tents. They even have this strict rule that carnies cannot enter other carnies rooms without being told they may enter. This rule is so strict for the fact that tents don't lock and don't have doors to knock on. Sure, they had trailers. But the trailers were used for the show girls to do their makeup and hair. Shiloh, being a clown, had to do her makeup herself in her tent. A mater of fact, everyone else, not counting the acrobat's who also use the trailers for makeup, had to do everything themselves.

Shiloh let out a sigh, not standing in the middle of her tent as she looked around. In one corner, she had a small sleeping spot. She didn't have a bed, but just a matric on the ground with an old heavy yet thin blanket and an old pillow. She didn't mind though, it was good enough for her and this is what happens in a low budget circus. When you join the circus, it's up to you to buy everything you need with the money you make. A lot of people even have to get a second job to pay for everything. Shiloh's one of those people. But, we'll get into that later. Looking around her room/tent some more, we have a clothes rack that holds just a few hangers to Shiloh's costume. She keeps the rest of her clothes in a suitcase on the ground next to it. On the other side of the tent, opposite her bed, is a mirror on a desk with all her stage makeup laid down on it. That's all she held in her little tent, thought, it wasn't so little as it was tall enough for Shiloh to stand up straight through most of it, but, on the other hand, Shlioh is a rather short girl.

Walking over to her rack, Shiloh carefully put on her clowns costume. She didn't have a normal clowns costume that you would think about when you hear clown. No, Shiloh's costume holds mostly black and white. A black suite a size big on her, a white dress shirt a size big on her, and an over-sized white bowtie. After she had this on, she went over to the mirror and did her hair first. Putting her bleached-blonde hair up into a Mohawk-like fashion. She then continues on to do her makeup. Being a clown, she's not suppose to show any of her actual skin color. So, she puts white face paint all over her face, ears, and neck, covering up all her normal pale skin color. She then takes her eye makeup after the paint is dried and darkens it around her eyes a bit. She continues with black face paint, going over where her eyebrows would be located. She finishes up her makeup by putting on bright red lipstick. Once that is finished, she puts on bright red gloves that fit her perfectly and bright red dress shoes a size big on her.

She looked at herself in the mirror and practiced her smile. Pinning it there, she headed out of her tent and to the front gateway into the circus. The gate way was large and a rusty red color. It had ribbons coming from the bottom of either side and going out to surround the circus. Once she got to the front gate, she picked up the flyers and waited as the new comers came in, handing each of them a flyer with a small settle smile pinned on her face.

"Ba-da-da-da-da-da-ba-da-ba-da Ba-da-da-da-da-da-ba-da-ba-da ba-da-da-da ba-da-da-da ba-da-da ba-da-da ba-da-da-ba!" Ricket sing loudly in his tent to the music playing over the intercom. So what, it didn't have lyrics or any words what so ever, but he could still sing to it. Rickets tent was a mess. It had old alcohol bottles all over the place. He didn't even have a bed in there, just an old rotten recliner that he got when he joined the circus. That seems like such a long time ago. His tent was arranged in the same way Shiloh's was but with more of a messy way, and instead of having a stand with makeup he had his huge stilts with giant pants over them and giant shoes on the end. He got dressed in his outfit, putting on smaller versions of the shoes and pants on himself, then dragged them outside.

Being a stilt walker and having the tall stilts, he couldn't get them on himself. So, off he went to go find Shiloh, his little helper. He found her already greeting Wanna-Be's into the gate and gave a big smile. "Why, hello, youngens! I'm Ricket, that there's Shiloh!" He said loudly and excitedly then glanced at Shiloh, who didn't say a word. "She's a quiet clown, so she wont talk while in costume. But, out of costume she'll talk more, don't worry!" He said, his Irish accent coming out some as he said so. "Shiloh, give a mate a hand, will you?" He said, large smile still illumining his face. Shiloh nodded and went to help her fellow carny up onto his legs.

Once Ricket was up, he nodded down at her, tipping his hat to her slightly, then waved to the Wanna-Be's. "Come on, now. You don't want to be late to the big top, now do you?" He said and lead the way to the big top. Once there, he reached over and held the tent open as he waited for everyone to go inside before stepping in himself. All about the large tent was little groups of the carnies all talking among themselves. Some had the animals by them and some just had themselves. After a moment, Rocky came up and stood beside Ricket in his little matching doggy vest. He knew while he stood there that today was going to be a fun day as they offered there home to the Wanna-Be's to join.

Smiles was late. He cursed as he crashed out of his tent trying in vain to tie his shoe as he did. He gave two hops before he fell face first into the ground and groaned as he got back up and dusted himself off. Taking a deep breath he opted for tying his dress shoes before seriously damaging any body parts that he'd prefer to keep. He checked to make sure that his dark faded jeans, dark purple vest and crisp white button down shirt weren't ruined and that his fedora- which matched his vest- was still atop his head. Once that was done he speed walked down to the Big Top. He passed the gates and wondered how many new people had come for a chance at the circus life and how many would actually stay. He remembered when he'd been in their position and the many people that had come that day to join. Slowly many of those people had left or quit because they couldn't handle or didn't want to live it out as the carnies did. Smiles was glad he had a strong determination or he'd never have known the joys of being a carnie. He didn't have an act or anything of the sort. He was a simple concessionaire but he was treated pretty equally to the others and for that he was truly grateful.

Opening the flaps of the Big Top he grinned as he spotted many of them already inside. Great going Smiles, now everyone knows you're late, he chastised himself in his head. He spotted Lyfe and gave him an apologetic look before placing both hands in a pleading position and bowed his head regretfully. He hated disappointing his boss. Actually, he hated disappointing anyone really. Looking back up he noticed the newbies and sauntered over with his usual charming smile and waved dramatically. "Hello there newcomers! I am the wonderful and magnificent Smiles," he greeted, bowing in a ridiculous but oddly charming way that only Smiles could ever pull off before continuing on, "I hope to see more of you in the coming days, yes?" He turned to Shiloh, gave her a friendly two finger wave greeting before heading to the side and sat at the stands.

Smiles was still tired oddly enough. His part time job required him to wake up at an ungodly hour in the morning but he needed all the extra money he could get. None of his fellow carnies really knew it but he worked part time for an old lady, helping her sew and mend clothes and costumes. He felt no shame in the trade and wouldn't give a flying rats arse if the others knew but since they hadn't asked he'd never said. He liked helping the sweet old lady out, and in the long run he knew how to fix any torn clothes or costumes. Very helpful if such a situation came up here at the circus. Heck, the old lady he worked for had even taught him how to make a few clothes and was still in the process of said teaching. Pretty soon he wouldn't have to go to stores to buy his clothes. He'd simply buy a bunch of fabric, needles and thread and he'd make himself a whole batch of clothing. Very useful indeed. He lets his dark brown eyes glance at everyone slowly and he smiles softly. This was his family. "And its about to get just a bit bigger..." he murmured to himself as he finally settled his sights on the newbies.

Before long, Lyfe enters center stage and Smiles listens attentively as their Ring Master gives his speech.

Tomo was currently standing at the other side of the street of the gates looking very much like a stalker. A very hot stalker, she amended in her head smirking as she looked down at her choice of clothing. She'd chosen to go with an off the shoulder skull tee, some black short shorts, awesome fishnet stockings (one of many that she owned) and black boots that reached just below her knees. She'd added small black leather bracelets here and there just so she wouldn't feel so plain but then again Tomo was one of few people who could ever really look plain even on off days. Her friend Molly had helped her fashion her hair into a mohawk style that didn't require her to cut off any of her hair whatsoever.

She smiled as she thought of her best friend. Molly was the complete opposite of her; she was shy, a bit nerdy and all around cute! Though she looked like a kid, Molly was actually two years older than Tomo and liked to remind her of it every chance she got. Tomo had been living with Molly for a little over a year ever since she'd left her parents home. Tyler, Molly's boyfriend, was also one of Tomo's closest friend and was also on the baby faced side. People still wondered why such sweet faced people would still be friends with a daredevil like Tomo. She knew they made an odd little trio but she loved them dearly because they didn't judge her and accepted her for who she was. 'Course, that didn't stop them from having their arguments now and then BUT that's what friendship was all about. Sticking together through the good and bad.

Enough with the mindless reminiscent memories. Get your ass over there, she commanded herself as she snapped back to reality. She adjusted her large spiked messenger bag on her shoulder before she strutted across the street and took a flyer from the female clown with a grateful smile. Once they'd gathered quite a few people she followed them into what they reffered to as the "Big Top". Many of the Carnies introduced themselves and Tomo couldn't help but eye them up. Attractive lot, that they were. Tomo grinned mischievously at the rated r thoughts running through her head before she shook herself free of them. Down Tomo, down. She stayed oddly silent throughout the whole thing, even when there was a commotion with the animals and Ricket, very odd behaviour for Tomo herself since half the time even her friends couldn't get her to shut up. But Tomo figured that this was a whole new world she was coming into. A whole new set of rules to take in mind. Though she was for the most part a rebellious girl Tomo still held her parents upbringing in her genes. She could be decent, even normal, if she allowed herself to be. This was one such occasion. She hungrily took in her surrounding and the people around her and wondered only for a second if she was doing the right thing. But only for a second. The way that her heart beat against her chest and the rush she was getting just standing there was all the answer she needed. As the Ring Master walked to the center of the stage Tomo stilled and listened to his speech. A thrill went down her back and she grinned.
