My truth is not a lie, my existence is not a mistake! I will fight for mine and their rights to exist, and I refuse to be your victim.
Guinevere is one of the Knights of the Round Table of the Circle of Knights, within the realms of Cicora. For most of her life she played the role of a Knight known as Lancelot, and was only able to be herself at home with her father. When he passed away, she lost a great outlet and comfort and became isolated. Her identity was discovered and she fled for her life from the Circles and Kings, thanks to Gawain's help.
She eventually found her way to the Underground City, taking up arms with them to help fight for their freedom and to save other women from the mistreatment and enslavement by the Circles. A brave and gentle knight, she’s intelligent, cunning and has a mind for strategy.
She misses her home with the circle, and mourns her father often, as well as her close connection with Gawain who she cannot see as often as she used to. This weight keeps her fighting but also risks her crumbling.
Important Features
- Is lean and muscular in stature, is fairly physically strong.
- Her circle tattoo is on her back, a clockwork sword encased in a gear.
- Has several scars under her armour.
- Props for her are her sword and her shield. Primarily uses her sword as a weapon, her shield is attached to her armour's arm. Can be associated with daffodils, so will often be seen with symbology of them, as well as other knight-related objects. Can also be seen with robotic animals and figures, or anything from the underground city.
- Poses are anything brave, guarded, strong, unsure, resilient, loving and self-sacrificing. Can be drawn fighting, protecting others, injured, victorious. Anything that implies battle. With the women of the underground city, or those she cares for, she relaxes her guard, seems to be more honest in her actions and acts far more jovial and silly with others.
- Expressions are normally quite gentle but still guarded, she hides her feelings and her real emotions. Is very reserved and calm in general, so is never overly expressive. Can show her true feelings, more negative emotions and more honest expressions with those she trusts.
- Can be drawn with her robotic owl companion Elaine, the two are often together and Elaine was a gift from her father, has a locket in her chest with a picture of her father, and her.
- Can be drawn romantically with Gawain, who she is very close with and treats him like family, a best friend, and a person she would give anything for. She finds great comfort in him and trusts him with everything.
- Can be drawn with anyone from the underground city, over time she becomes very close to them and risks her life for all of them. Originally treated slightly antagonistically, only really shares a lot with Dior and Archimedes.
The Seven Kings of Cicora determine our lives, our rules and our mindsets.
Cicora is a realm broken up into seven 'circles' all joined by long bridges. Each circle is controlled by a King, has a unique set of beliefs and values, and crests that each member has branded on their skin. The circles are Syndicates, Knights, Magi, Priest, Merchant, Beast and Inventors. A child will choose their circle when they come of age, unless they were born a Beast or Magi, in which they'd have little choice.
Within Cicora is also the Underground City, a general name for a location where those who have broken out of their circle, primarily women, non-binary or transgender people, who do not feel welcome in the Circles. The City is run by Dior Serafina and Archimedes Abraham, and it's location is known to the Kings, but has thus been untouched.

Bella, I have another routine for you to try out. How about we get some time together so you can practice, love?
Adrien works with Bella quite closely, practicing dance routines and creating music that will match her performance style. Though he is slightly over familiar with her and will sometimes receive threats in return. They've developed a teasing, playful relationship. Adrien likes getting her to come out of her shell and is trying to help her find comfort in other people's presence.
He also enjoys buying her new outfits, often dragging her out with him. Adrien has let Bella see into his mind so she has a good grasp over his feelings and how he struggles with himself and his upbringing. She shows signs of frustration at him hiding his struggles, but doesn’t bring it up. They very rarely discuss their pasts, he finds comfort in knowing she understands a similar upbringing and they fill their time with not thinking about their struggles.

Current
Adrien found his way to the Limbo Freak Show by chance. They were performing in town, to offer solace to the people during a hard economic hit. When he saw their show he saw a chance to escape from the life he'd been caged to. They saw his interest and saw something in him that was seeking freedom. He agreed to join them and travel to help bring light to other people.
He became their musician and choreographer. The Show has given him a sense of family and he's coming out of his shell a lot, finding comfort in their company.
History
Adrien was born to two musical geniuses. Isabella and Mateo Giovanni de Luca. The atmosphere he grew up in was suffocating and very strict. His oldest sister, Maria, grew to be cruel and unpleasant as well. Both Adrien and his younger sister, Ani, were struggling under their parents. Neither wanting to be constricted to their parent's plan for them. Even from a young age, Adrien has been very talented with instruments and music. The pressure of his parents made him avoid his responsibilities as much as possible in order to push back about it.
Becoming a little jaded and neglecting himself and his emotions, he tried to protect his sister as much as possible. When his father died, his mother grew even more controlling. Likely to help bring some more control into her life, that she believed she'd lost. When he realised she was going to lock him into a life he didn't want, he left home with no word to his mother or sister, only giving Ani a way to contact him.
Important events
Leaving home
Around the age of twenty, he finally managed to pull out from under his controlling mother. Not long after his father died and her treatment and personality worsened. This event helped him escape an abusive situation, and opened up his life for freedom and a chance to be comfortable in himself again.
Joining the show
Met and joined the freak show very soon after leaving home. Working a dead-end, boring job just to survive, he went to see them perform in the nearby town and was brought in by day/night, who saw a great deal of musical talent in him (As well as a lot of pain).
Reconnecting with his sister
A few years after having joined the freak show, he received word from his sister, Ani, that she was free from their parents and searching for her own direction in life. This event took a great deal of weight off his shoulders. Adrien is highly proud of his sister, and writes to her as much as he can.
