History: From a young age, she was drawn to the strange/unusual, and she loved oddities. She didn't come from a good home; alcoholic Father and absent Mother who eventually up and left. So she ran away and joined a local circus. She grew up within the world of Carnival, training and practicing as much as possible to move up in popularity with the crowds. She found that she absolutely loved to be loved, not having gotten much if any of that growing up. She would out-grow the circus she was at, deciding to move on to the next to see what she could learn and what fans she could earn. By the time she finally decided to try her hand at training, she had quite a devoted following, and no matter how far she travelled she could find someone who knew her name. She spent some time in the Cirque du Monstro briefly as the Spade counterpart to Alec's Diamond.
