Aimee - Aerialist/Tight Rope Walker
Ballerina in her life

The Gymnast High above the ground – the Decemberist
Teen Idle - Marina and the Diamonds
Céline - Animal Cages/Menagerie
Greedy in life - Sin is Greed
Age 35-39
Oldest of the girls
Really abrasive, rude and obsessed with getting attention from Eran
Seeing gold makes her relive being alive
Favored by no one, but tolerated by Vivienne
Hated by Eran
Covers herlself and her golden animals in shades of gold to remind herself of money
Was once apart of the Bourgeois, till Eran came around.
Song: We are a Hurricane - Panic! At the Disco
Starring Role – Marina and the Diamonds
Camille - Clown
Educated and pious in life
Learned to read, fell in love with shakespeare and aspired to be an actress
Cast from her family she fell into the streets of Paris and eventually a brothel
Eran found her, found out she was a pious virgin and promised her she would never cry, only laugh.
Thinks the dolls on her are her family crawling up, coming to get her
Her act consists of her flipping between happy and uncontrollably manic.
Had to have Étiennette make her a ruff to blind the sight of her dolls
epileptic memory trigger makes her feel more human
Songs: Starring Role – Marina and the Diamonds
Clowns - TaTu
Nanette - Elephant Rider/Elephant girl
Once a Novice in a Convent, Nanette wasn’t very good at anything needed to be a nun
Clumsy but meant well
Very kind but ditsy and spacy.
Mother superior told her “God has a plan for you, but he will seek you out and tell you what that is...be patient”
Eran, passing through saw her, realized she wouldn’t be missed and decided she would be the next one
Comes to her in a dream pretending to be “God” or an “angel” and tells her of a man who will come for her, and that it’s God’s plan.
By listening to this, and following Eran out of the Convent, Nanette worships a false idol.
Her Ribbons say “I will Follow Him” in reference to following god, and also following Eran
Ripped from her holy pious life, Nanette is plagued by her empitness and chains herself away to be further from Gods light.
Golden Elephant represents the false gold idol she worshiped
Generally ignored by Eran and terrorized by Simon, Nanette is often referred to as “elephant girl” or just “Elephant.”
Best friend is Aimee
Worst enemy is Vivienne
Song: This is Gospel - Panic! At the Disco
I will Follow him – Little Peggy March
Vivienne - Lion Tamer
Abused in life Vivienne turned to murder as a solution to her problems.
While shopping for her weapon, which she wanted to be as gory as possible, Eran catches her and enages her in conversation
Once he learns of her intentions, he follows through by offering to the job for her, In exchange for her service in his show.
She falls for the bait to avoid a life in jail and possible death
Since she was died in a fury of wrath, her sin is both rath, and murder.
Newest bride, aged about 22/23
She and Eran have a love, mostly HATE relationship.
Her act is surviving being mauled by lions/being a general menace to Elephant.
Hates Elephant/Nanette.
Adores Aimee and thinks she’s actually her child.
Secretly wanted a child, her abuse made it so she would be seen as “used” and thought no one would want her - more motive towards her hateful personality in death
Bothers Eran constantly for a child other than Aimee.
Eran tolerates her, but didn’t think she’d be so annoying.
Song:
Ballad of Mona Lisa - Panic! At the Disco
Starring Role – Marina and the Diamonds
Teeth – Lady Gaga
Eran - The Ringleader
Once human, Eran died before being baptized and was sent to purgatory.
Quickly sunk to Hell and rose the ranks till he became a high ranking military general.
Got cocky, wanted to rule hell under the guise that “no angel - fallen or not - had the right to ever lead the legions. Only someone damned to hell could, claims that was him
Got exiled to the earth till he learned better
Decided to form this circus to collect sinners - mostly wanted to collect pious women who were going to fall from heaven.
Uses this energy to give himself power
Uses their dead bodies as vessels to hold their damned souls
Accidentally falls for Angeline
Regrets Aimee and Menagerie. Aimee because she was too young, and Menagerie because she’s too old.
Refers to Claude as “Clot” and laughs because he’s english and no one in the show speaks english. Claims it’s actually a pet name.
Song:
Sarah Smiles - Panic! At the Disco
Some Nights Intro – fun.
Miss Jackson – Panic! At the Disco
Blood - MCR
Angeline - Liberty Horses
18/19
Blissfully arrogant
Sin is pride
She’s too prideful to admit there is evil in the world, actually too prideful to admit much of anything
Instantly wooed by Eran, but holds her love to Claude desperately
Very Bourgeois and semi-educated she thinks she has all the rights in the world to do whatever she pleases.
Engaged to Claude, her stable steward, but was promised to another man. Adultery and pride.
Embodies original sin, directly descended from Eve. Parallel to Eran as the Snake, Claude as Adam
Song: Sarah Smiles
Claude - The illustrated man
Angelines fiancé.
Loves her, but is often put out by her pride
Doesn’t trust Eran
Referred to as “Clot”
Illustrated man, at the end of the show, he is permanantly tattooed with the entire story of the Cirque des Ames, so that he will forever be destined to warn man of the woes of trusting strangers.
Song: Lions Roar – The Hush Sound
I Miss You – Blink 182
WELL THAT'S THE LINER NOTES SO FAR!
