About

Poppy Seed is the head acrobat and lead performer of the trapeze stunts at the Crackerjack Circus, working with his crew to bring a spectacular show of flying flips and tricks for the folks in the audience! He was one, if the not the first, performer for the circus, but nobody really knows how he got there, at least nobody knows the full straight forward story. The oh so cool guy never admits to trying out or anything, doesn't even admit to something as easy as an evaluation, and when he does, it's a different story every time. Sometimes he says that the elephants found him and he was deemed a natural right out of the gate, other times he jokes that he showed up one day and Funnel didn't notice who they were working with until a week after. Other times, though, he just simply says he doesn't want to talk about it. Most people are happy to take it as a joke, just Poppy acting like the resident Cool Guy of the circus. Most people.

Before his debut with the Crackerjack Circus, Poppy was homeless for 17 years, unable to find a place of his own after escaping the kitchen he was made in. He got by by playing music on a guitar that was gifted to him and singing songs on the street with Platinum Mic- a living magic microphone that found her way to him from a music shop -using the money he earned to buy food and pay people to let him stay with them for a night or two. He was a bit of a vagabond, never staying in one place, but usually coming back to certain areas if the friends he made there stayed, like the Soda kids. He's not homeless now, mind you, his paycheck from Crackerjack most definitely helped him pay for an apartment where he is currently living comfortably! These days, when he isn't working at the circus, Poppy can be found at the community theater fulfilling his dream of being an actor, but he often turns down lead roles. He's famous enough, after all!
