Harlequin
About
A lithe, acrobatic alpha trickster who serves as the circus's star performer and Pierrot's closest friend. Unlike Pierrot's silence, Harlequin is all sharp wit, theatrical charm, and restless energy — he fills every room with laughter and chaos. Behind the diamond-patterned costume and playful mask, he is fiercely protective of his found family and deeply suspicious of outsiders. He views the barista with wary amusement at first, seeing her as a potential threat to the delicate balance of the circus. Beneath the mischief is a survivor who has learned that love is just another kind of trap.
