[b]Biography:[/b] Marionette was originally an orphan living on the streets of sixteenth century Paris, France. Life for her was difficult, scrounging just enough food to live on, stealing rags to survive the winter, and desperately avoiding the authorities, who would lock her up as a vagabond. It was a grey existence that one day exploded into colour.

That was the day that The Circus came to town. She was entranced and awed by the sights, the sounds, and the smells and when she met the Keeper she begged to be allowed to join. In return for being inducted into The Circus, she gave up her voice and her name, becoming Marionette, the mute Mime.

[b]Other:[/b] Obviously she's completely mute.

[b]Audition:[/b] The lights on the big top went down and the audience, having been applauding the previous act, quieted down. As silence came over the crowd a single spot light shined down on a large colourful box and a mournful music box tune The top and front of the box fell away and Marionette got jerkily to her feet, the twist key attached to her back giving her the convincing appearance of a giant clockwork doll. She Stepped stiffly out of the box and began a choreographed robotic dance, with an invisible partner, in complete silence aside from the music box music.

The crowd watched in hushed silence as the girl went through her performance. Suddenly the music changed into a more upbeat tempo and Marionette, revealing the wires running from her wrists and ankles and up into the rafters, changed from a stiffly robotic performance to more loose, puppet-like movements. She continued in a solo dance, abandoning her invisible partner and moving around the middle ring, occasionally leaping high into the air as if being pulled along by some giant puppeteer. Eventually the music slowed down to a stop and on the final note, Marionette stopped in the middle of the box and dropped as if someone had cut her strings, the box closing back up. The Big Top was in utter silence for a moment before the audience broke out into applause and the lights all came back on and the next act entered, accompanied by carnival music.
