Age: 19

Appearance: Cora is 5'4, she has shoulder length blonde hair that she often wears in bouncy ringlets, pale ivory skin, and glowing green eyes. As for body modifications Cora has a tongue ring. When performing Cora wears her hair in two lopsided pony tails that she decorates with bows, clips, and dye, her makeup is dramatic, and makes her look almost doll like, hence the name 'Dolly'. Cora's costume is a thigh length dress accompanied with a miniature top hat, parasol, bow tie & knee socks.
Personality: Cora is very much into yoga & stretching, it helps her stay relaxed, flexible and clear minded, when that doesn't work she resorts to alcohol and/or cigarettes. Cora isn't always the nicest person, but she is talkative, and loves to interact with others. One thing Cora is not is bubbly, she does not enjoy being around people who are too happy all the time or too optimistic.

History: Ever since Cora was 17 she knew she wanted more than a boring average Jo lifestyle, so at the end of her Junior year of high school she ran away from home, to live on the streets, and hopefully build her way up from there. Quickly Cora discovered that starting from scratch was terribly difficult, and nearly impossible for a girl as young as she was, but then the opportunity to make a pretty penny came her way, Prostitution. Neil Cornelius found the girl nearly dead in an alleyway after her pimp beat her for holding back cash from him. For a while she was absolutely grateful for Neil Cornelius saving her, but when she realized she was trapped she began to resent him.

After hours of riding in in the dark, musty train cart Cora was grateful to see day light, and feel the Sun's warmth on her skin yet again. No matter how many mantras or Garudasana poses she performed she couldn't calm the voice inside her head that animated the abysmal dark, but after a few swigs of liquor the remainder of the ride became a bit more bearable.

When the train came to a screeching halt Cora gathered her booze, worn out trunk and quickly took notice of a crisp white sheet of paper stapled to a telephone pole right outside the train.
"Tent four... James, Coraline, Nona, Liam. Seems like we have a full house." Cora said with a huff as she walked across the deserted plain and into her assigned tent, she'd seemed to be the first to arrive, so she through her belongings down on a cot in the back, right hand side of the room, and proceeded to make herself as comfortable as possible.

"You know it." The girl said with a yawn as she tucked her trunk under her cot, but not before she removed her 100 proof vodka, and extended the bottle to the girl.
"Care for a drink?" She asked kindly as she tucks a stray strand of her blonde tresses behind her ear.

Nona and Lillia James

As the train slowly rolled to a stop, Nona's blue eyes slowly opened. The world outside was grassy, green and almost bare save the tents where they would be staying whenever they weren't performing. She rubbed the exhaustion from her eyes and moved to stand. It was difficult due to the tiny blonde head which rested on her lap. She shook her little sister's shoulder and said softly, "Lillia, it's time to wake up." When her sister didn't move she sighed and picked her up princess style. She managed to make it to the door before her sister's eyes slowly slid open. "Nona?" she said, squirming in her sister's arms to be placed back on the floor, "Are we there?" Nona grabbed her and Lillia's bags before she jumped from the car, turning to catch her sister who followed behind her. "Yes, Lilly, we're there."

Nona held on to her little sister's hand as they moved from the door of the train to the list that was attached to a nearby post. "You're in tent 5 with the others, Lillia. I'm in..." She skimmed the list looking for her name. When she found it she stopped. "...tent four with.. James, Coraline, and... Liam." She smiled to herself a little at the last name. Liam was really the only person she got along with besides her sister. The others were fine, but didn't talk to her much. He was really good with animals too. She heard her name being called behind her over the loud, panicked cries of one of their elephants. "Speak of the devil," she said and turned to the source of the call. "I'll be right there, Liam! I just need to walk Lillia to her tent!" She looked down at her sister and smiled reassuringly. "Ready, Lillia?"

She took a hold of her sister's hand and walked her to the door of her tent. Once they had arrived, she crouched down so she was face to face with Lillia. "Now, Lilly. I'm only a few tents down from you if you need anything okay?" She kissed her sister on her forehead and muttered an "I love you" before turning and headed towards Liam.

She hopped up into the train cart with the animals, grabbing a few of Duchess's favorite treats as she went. "Shhh. Duchess. It's alright. Everything's okay." She held a treat up to Duchess's nose and waited for her to take it before stroking i her trunk. "See? It's alright. You can get off this scary contraption now, but you have to follow me, ok?" She grabbed another treat from her pocket and guided the elephant down the special ramp. Once she was on the ground, Nona gave Duchess the treat. Then she placed the rest of the treats by a nearby post where she tied Duchess to make sure she didn't try to run away. The thing about elephants was, when they're as big as Duchess, once they run, there's not way you're going to be able to stop them. Then again, they weren't as skilled with animals as Liam and Nona. Once Duchess was tied up, she turned and smiled at Liam. "There. Done. We should head to the tent though before all the good beds are taken." She placed her "mask" back on her face and headed to tent four. She looked around the room and noticed that the other two girls, Nala and Cora, had already arrived. Confused, she looked back for Liam before turning back to the two. "Hi, Cora... Nala... Wait, Nala are you in this tent?" She moved over to one of the beds and placed her bag on it before looking around. It seemed Cora had claimed the cot in the back, but the bed was still open. Odd, but she decided to claim it for herself.

Meanwhile, Lillia stared at the door, thumb in her mouth. She wasn't sucking on it. She was just biting her nail. She knew better than to be sucking her thumb at the age of 7. She took a deep breath, picked up her bags that Nona had placed beside her and climbed the stairs into the tent. There were already four others inside, discussing the living arrangements. She looked around the room and noticed that there was only 3 places for five people to sleep. She placed her bags by the front door and walked over towards them. She was afraid to speak up, mainly because Alec scared her when he was in a bad mood. She looked at the others and wondered if they were going to let her share the bed or if they were going to take seniority and make her sleep on the floor. She really hoped she could sleep on the bed. She had a hard enough time sleeping on the train. Sleeping on the ground wasn't going to be any better for her.

Nona James

Nona chewed her bottom lip as Nala spoke to Liam. The way she strutted about the place irritated her greatly. Just because she was a gypsy doesn't mean she gets to do whatever she wants.. She thought. Once Nala left the tent, Nona sighed and sat on her own bed. "She irritates me," she mumbled under her breath almost absentmindedly. She began to organize things about her space, placing her shoes under her bed and fixing the clothes in her bag so they were in more of a neat stack and less of a pile. Once she finished, she sat on her bed. Her eyes, as if by instinct moved to Coraline. Things were awkward between the two since Nona's drunk incident. She wasn't sure if Cora had been the cause or just a witness. Either way, Nona was no longer comfortable around the girl. Sharing a tent was going to be....difficult.

She laid back on her bed and took a deep breath. Instantly, she began to relax. The bed was infinitely more comfortable than the train. It was even more comfortable than any bed she had ever slept on before. More so than her own before she joined the circus. For a split second, she worried about her little sister. The worry didn't last long. Soon, she found herself falling asleep. She had the "falling experience" which shook her temporarily from her sleep. She turned towards Liam, noticing he was planning on sleeping, too, and said, "Don't forget... we have to feed the lions...and the tigers..." In the back of her mind she hoped he would finish the line, but somehow she doubted it. They were good friends, but they weren't that close.

"If I could be anything..." Coraline starts as she thinks about the question. She never really had much ambition in life, just to make it big... somehow.
"I would be an Heiress maybe. That sounds easy enough." Cora replied with a light smile, but after a moment of reconsideration she decided to answer the question with a bit more seriousness.
"Maybe a dancer." She said with a warm smile as she reminisced over the days where she was content with her life's path; when she actual cared about achieving greatness.
"What about you James, any secret talents that would land you in the limelight? Any regrets you wish to undo?"

#, as written by Deallo
James rolled his eyes when Nona, sleeping beauty awoken by the white mist poison, started to rat off about smoking. "Tell you what, you make me stop smoking, and I'll stop smoking..." ...Cigarettes. It was a wicked thought and surely if he had the time and resources he would've a stash of illegal greens to smoke but alas, clowns on drugs would probably have an inverse effect and make them act like normal. That and Cladius can't/won't let them out into the city without supervision from the man himself.

The man raised a eyebrow as Liam bouced off a piece of surprising information: his parents owned a circus and he was raised into it. That raised an even bigger question: what was he doing in this shithole of a circus? Yeah they got food, water, shelter, yada-yada, but they weren't paid and the whippings just showed what kind of circus this truly was: prison. Except with more colour and less shiving. Cora joked about being a heiress but quickly chaged her ansewer to dancer. He can see that; she certainly had the look of a dancer and was probably flexible enough just by being a girl. What kind of dancer though: the one that calls for a male partner, the one that called for going on the tops of your toes and prancing all over the place, or the one that called for going round n round a pole? From what James could barely hear; Nona would still be an animal tamer. The question of WHY still illuded him.

Gathering himself to Cora's question, he looked up to the cieling, and took hold of the cigarette. "I'd be a lawyer." It was a seemingly normal idea. Why not? He would make a lot of money, buy a house, get married, have a kid, die happily ever-after. James took one more sickening drag. "I don't know anything else that can make use of unicycling and juggling all at once." He joked, flashing a crooked grin to his teeth coloured a pale yellow.

"But...there's more important things to think of, like..." James started, looking directly at each person of the group with the sternest of expressions.

"How the HELL did everyone besides me get a godamn apprentice?!"

“The Gypsy…” The girl began as she reflected on her previous encounters with the eccentrically dressed girl who played up her charm to make a living... I guess some could say Cora & Nala were both similar in that respect.

Cora hadn’t had so much as one conversation with the girl until she’d arrived at their newest camp, so a formation of an opinion didn’t take too long.
“A bit odd… but aren’t we all?” The girl asked rhetorically.
“She seems nice enough though, she downed a good portion of my liquor and walked out of here as coherent as ever, that deserves an applaud."
"She’s not your favorite person I’m guessing?” Cora asked with a raised brow, directing her inquiry at Liam.

"Oh, sounds... complex, like relationships often are." Cora said simply as she let out a light yawn, the night had quickly crept upon the little congregation of circus folk. The sky was heavily dotted with stars, and constellations illuminated the camp.
"I'm going to get some sleep. We all have a long day ahead of us." Cora said as she retreated under the dingy worn blanket that lay on her cot, and rested her head upon her pillow where she soon after fell asleep.

Nona James

Nona buried her face in her pillow a moment, listening to the others. She pulled her face out of her pillow and turned to face the others. "Maybe I'd be an artist.." she said in a low voice. She played with the corner of her pillow absentmindedly asked as she listened to the others. Liam mentioned the gypsy and she froze. Everyone gave their answers and she gave hers. "She irritates me.. she walks around like she owns the place.. just cus she's been here longer.." Her voice trailed off. Cora commented on Liam's apparent dislike of the girl and he responded. She saw the blush rise to his cheeks and she looked away, no longer interested in the conversation. Cora said she was heading to sleep. Nona was no longer tired. She climbed out of her bed and headed towards the door. "I'm going to go check on the animals..." she said in a low voice.

The next day Cora woke up to the sound of birds chirping merrily, it wasn't a bad way to start the day that she believed was surely doomed to be miserable. After a petite yawn Cora cast the dingy bed sheets that she was entangled in to the side and rubbed the sleep out of her Emerald colored eyes. The petite blonde looked around quickly to find Liam & Nona going on about something that looked a bit too personal to stick around for.
"Good morning." Cora said quickly as she gathered the items she needed to be prepared for the day. Being that Cora wasn't ready to make her peers uncomfortable quiet yet she excused herself from the tent to get dressed. Cora wore a blue bustier,and black stretch jeans so she could move around comfortably when practicing, and a pair of buddy wayfarer sunglasses that she perched upon her blonde tresses. After getting ready Cora started her morning ritual of stretching, mantras, and yoga.
She started with a simple "Ohm" while she sat with her legs crossed, and her hands resting upon her knees, next she reached for her toes, and held the pose with the ease. The beginners level yoga quickly turned into a downward leaning dog pose that transferred to handstands and spread eagles, one after another.
