Lucy is a mischievious clown who loves to play tricks on his tent's demons, often found sneaking around preparing one of his pranks. However, Lucy dislikes having pranks done on him. He is a bit more laid-back compared to his fellow ringmasters and can come across as kind of a dummy or airhead, making others laugh with his antics. Lucy dislikes being nagged or ordered around by anyone which often brings out his more defiant side but this usually doesn't last long.
Lucy almost always appears to be jolly and airheaded; however, he has these occasional dark moments that often throw his clowns for a loop. Could there be something more to this ringmaster...?

She adores flattery thus leading to her making those bad decisions. She has a very "mean girl" attitude about her only trusting those she deems worthy. She treats those close to her well and teases them often. She tends to hate those who try to outdo her or ignore her esp when she's making an entrance or flaunting a new style she's trying out.

Toto is a mysterious and cryptic clown. If it's not speaking in some sort of riddle, it'll be speaking nonsense. Most of its tent has managed to learn what it means when it speaks and others have learned to use sign language to speak with it normally (tho they don't tell others). Usually, a tent member will have to translate for those from other tents. Toto also has a big heart and cares a lot for the clowns in its tent, doing anything he can for them.
