Basic Info

Name:	Ringleader's Daughter [Cosette]

Bio

name: cosette
age: 15

As the Ringmaster’s daughter, Cosette regards herself as someone who should be respected and noticed. However, neither of these things did she ever receive. Periodically she’d be respected by the performers, but this was only out of fear of her complaining to her father.

Ever since she was but a tiny girl, Cosette wished to be one of the performers, yet her father forbade it. It was much too dangerous apparently, and no matter how much she begged he would not budge.

It was the summer of her 14th birthday that a girl by the name of Eleanor came to join their carnival. She was an acrobat – dainty and elegant. Immediately Cosette became jealous of her. Feeding off Eleanor’s gullibility and rather innocent mindset, Cosette would manipulate the girl often. However, whenever the ringmaster would catch wind of this he’d become extremely angry with Cosette, locking her up in one of the many dressing rooms as punishment. The Ringmaster, according to Cosette, saw Eleanor as more of a daughter than Cosette was.

It was only a matter of time before Cosette would snap.

One of the things Cosette wished to possess dearly was a doll – not a small one mind you, but one at least as big as she was. Perhaps it seems strange, but it was her desire. Besides, she’d seen them in town with their gorgeous fake hair and large metal wind up keys. She’d instantly fallen in love with them. After begging her father for one he eventually bought one – but not for her. Instead it was given as a gift to Eleanor.

Enraged by this injustice Cosette planned to write the situation. Rigging the stage before Eleanor’s next performance the girl ended up slipping off the tightrope, falling to her death. The carnival was in an uproar and chaos had taken over. The body was brought back to Eleanor’s dressing room and Cosette begged to have some time alone with her “To say goodbye.” This was one request her father actually granted.

It was just her and the lifeless girl’s body now and she planned to make a few adjustments. Cosette had always wished for a real doll and she’d soon have one. Rolling Eleanor onto her stomach, she sliced open her back, exposing her spine. After much trouble she plucked one of the vertebrae out, filling the gap with the end of the doll’s wind up key, stitching the cut back up. But not all went as she wished it would. The Ringmaster reemerged into the room, and seeing the horrific act his young daughter had performed, denounced her – claiming she was nothing more than a witch, a devil. The very next day she was hung at Town Square.

Cosette can appear to be pleasant, but if one annoys or irks her she’ll show her disgust. Always craving the center spotlight she loves to feel important, even if she isn’t. Many a day has been spent in the playground where she soon became seen as the leader of the playground in the eyes of the other kids. Fine by her. Impish and sadistic, she is not above sending her childish souls after one if they wander into her domain without good reason.
