At nevertell is Adelaide, who is much the same spoiled prim wry romantic-realist lady she's been, but this time she may be a good bit angrier. When Rodeo and Sarge went on the run Adelaide was LEFT BEHIND, and she isn't happy about it. It took the boys some doing to convince her to leave behind her live-in boyfriend in Boston and come with them to the Freakshow, and she still hasn't decided if she likes it here. Working for a living is new to her. I'm SO PUMPED for the first time an extreme mood gets infused into her food and spreads through the grounds, SHOULD BE FUN!
grimesublime is Verona, a seventeen year old former hooker from Venice, Italy who is (vaguely and not all that determinedly) attempting to turn her life around. She's skeptical of everything and everyone, tough in the way that a skittish alley cat is tough, loves a good party - and looks like she does. Verona works in the Pink Corset, lacing people in and charming her way into making sales left and right. Her talent, though she doesn't quite know it yet, involves the apparently sourceless undoing of locks, handcuffs, door hinges, knots... you name it, if it's tying Rona down, it's mysteriously malfunctioning.
soapyheels is Holly, a 28-year-old stunt motorcycle rider with a talent for knowing when she is being lied to or BS'd. She's a funky, classy lady from a posh Connecticut background, and her family has been steeped in magic for as long as any of them can remember. She's been on her own due to tragic circumstances for the last decade and has been with the show just as long. She's protective of the show as a whole, and thinks of the long-timers as her people - though what she really craves is the kind of tight-knit family she had before.
AND LAST, at smilingswine is John, the same cheerful lovebunny we got to know briefly. Still as charming as ever, John has been with the show for three years, operating a Dunk the Punk booth and otherwise glaring and scowling. His talent lies in intuitively knowing the deepest fears and insecurities of others - though some are harder or easier to read - and he uses that talent pretty shamelessly in his act to goad onlookers into spending their cash to dump him in the water.
