Profile
Gracie and Buttercup (no relation to the Powerpuff Girls character) are, like many of my characters, beloved characters from when I was a little kid. I'll give them stage names (and better descriptions) later; these are just the names I gave them when I was little.
Buttercup is Gracie's sister. The two of them work a twin act as magicians in the sideshow.
Buttercup is friendly, personable, and a team player. She's usually the one getting sawed in half, and she'll happily assist the other performers with their acts.
She might be too friendly and credulous, but she's a good egg. A good fish egg. She's dependable-- if her sister tends to mystery and wandering, Buttercup's the opposite. What you see is what you get with her; she's open and genuine, and if she says she'll be somewhere or do something, it's the truth. She's sweet and good with kids, and aside from her sister, among her co-workers at the freak show, she's friendliest with fellow warmhearted soul Charlie.
She and her sister are (koi-based) mermaids-- of the Splash style; they can walk on human feet when on dry land. Buttercup's stage costume, like her fins, is primarily yellow with blue accents, the reverse of her sister's.
