[Reference Art] Clown Clan Whiteface & Flair

“The circus isn’t over yet”

Clown Clan Whiteface
Full art:

Origin:

“Whiteface, originally born as a noble.
Due to his birthmark, he was abandoned as a child.
The brooch at the end of his necklace is jewelry shaped like a crown, which was given to him before he was disposed off.”

Jewelry: “Something like this, maybe”

Birthmark:

“The characteristic birthmark on Whiteface’s left eye.
It’s kinda looks like a lily crest.
When the members of the clan stand on the stage, they apply make-up mimicking his lily-shaped birthmark.”

Stage:

“This is what the inside of the tent at the circus looks like.
Hot air balloons and chandeliers are hanging from above.”

Behavior:

Top: “During his youth, he survived by mutually supporting his companions who shared similar circumstances”.

Bottom: “For the public, he is a top-class showman.
Sympathetic, and with a gentle personality.
However, not only does he does he mercilessly punish with an iron fist intolerable nobles and other circuses engaging in black businesses, he also saves abuse victims. His activities could be described as that of a noble outlaw.
His moral sense, dictating his conduct, does not follow society’s rules.
Virtuous or villain: How should he be received is in the eye of the beholder.”

Clown Clan Flair
Full art:

Description:

Top: “In charge of the clan’s illusions”
Bottom: “She used to have an twin elder brother”

Transformation:

“She transforms into what’s on the left through Whiteface’s magic”

Bottles:

“When transformed into bottles, only one of them has Flair’s gems.
The rest are designed after parts of her costume.
The bottles aside from the main one have only 1 eye.”

During the show:

“The gems in her head show illusions around her.
Using that, she can make herself disappear.
(Actually, she’s right there)
In most cases, she does not use her illusions during the disappearance trick of the show.”

Background:

“Since the gems on her head are what powers her illusions, it is believed that they can grant such power, and therefore are traded for a significantly high price among the elite classes. (Females have 2 on their head, males have 1 on their tail)
They are also highly priced for their beauty as ornaments.
As for their bodies, due to how rare they are, their remains are traded for taxidermy. While alive, they are abused for greedful purposes.
The do not die if their head/tail gems are taken from them, but because they become unable to use their illusions, they also become unable to hide.
In the end, they end up eaten by some animal, or captured by a hunter.
In either case, it is very uncommon for them to survive.”
