The character would be a cameo not really too big to the plot but I will draw them. If the character was entered he/she/it would have to be some sort of entertainer. A freak, acrobat, illusionist, strongman, bearded lady, knife thrower, assistant of some kind. Anyone who would help fill in some occupational gaps. The personality is up to you but I'm sure I'll have them working and interacting with other cameo characters.Fanart Entries
