Hey ya'll so like, I saw a comment on this and since I didn't see anyone explain, I will do it.

Someone asked why it said "the pierrot" isntead of Pierrot and for those of you who don't know, The Freak Circus is based off an actual thing called Commedia De'llarte (sorry I don't know how to spell it) an Italian show/ a circus, and in that show there are these characters: Harlequin, Jester, Pierrot, Columbine. And I think others. A pierrot is the type of clown Pierrot is, a sad, melancholic clown often depicted in black and white clothing and always pining after Columbine. A Harlequin is the more seductive and chaotic/energetic rival to the pierrot and the one Columbine would choose (I think most of the time). Jester is, well a jester. SIDE NOTE: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A JESTER AND A CLOWN (typically called an Auguste clown, or, the fool) a jester is a clown (mainly sadistic) that makes fools of the audience and a normal clown makes a fool of themselves. Doctor is a clown that is based off of a job. (I forgot what the clown was called but it's basically a clown that depicts a job; a nurse, firefighter, teacher I think). And Columbin(a) is basically the female clown that the other two fight over. I forgot her lore but yeah. And Ticket Taker is... well the ticket taker

(I went through a clowncore phase and did my reasearch)

I hope that cleared anything and sorry if I made any errors, I don't really remember much I have a very bad memory but do let me know any mistakes I might've made. Have a good dayyyyy.🫶
