[b][color=#a64dff]Personality:[/color][/b] With a delusional contortionist for a mother and a magician for a father, Folly has a decidedly more muted personality. Her father attempted to kill her when she was thirteen, only further scarring her. This caused Folly to become ever the more quiet, her words hardly above a whisper. This is only partially due to that trauma, of course, with the increased silence serving as one of Folly's coping mechanisms. The event has left her mind wounded in more than one way as well, with Folly beginning to notice herself losing her grip on reality ever so slightly, driving her into a panic.

But beyond all of the tragedy from that trauma, Folly is a quite talented young woman. She is incredibly creative, enjoying stories and imagining other possibilities. When she was very little, in fact, she wanted to go to Hogwarts. Folly picks up on things quickly, being a Jack of All Trades type when it comes to intellectual matters. Whether it be math or English, Folly excels at it. She can excel at mostly anything, as long as she can keep her wits about her.

[b][color=#a64dff]History:[/color][/b] Folly's parents belong to a traveling circus, though they mainly stay on the east coast of the United States. Her father, Boris, was billed as a magician, while her mother, Fiodora, was a contortionist in the sideshow. Instead of growing up with normal children and attending school, Folly was raised in the circus community. Her best friend was the son of the snake charmer, and she played with the twin daughters of one of the clowns as well. In total, there were around seven children traveling with the circus. 

Folly's father wanted her to follow in his footsteps and become an illusionist as well. He woke her up at the crack of dawn each morning starting at age six, attempting to train her in his craft. It never took. She took after her mother in skill, but rather than wanting to be a contortionist, Folly dreamed of flying on the trapeze. It infuriated her father, but the acrobats of the circus began to train her, and while she wasn't even close to second string, she really took to it. By the time she was twelve, Folly had made second string, the youngest acrobat in the circus.

And while the entire circus treated each other like family, Folly's parents were not exactly the most stable. Her mother had fallen hopelessly in love with a psychotic and abusive alcoholic. She managed to keep Folly protected from it mostly, but she couldn't protect Folly entirely. Her father didn't work just for the circus--he was strong, and he sometimes hired himself out, in order to come up with extra cash. After one of those deals soured, Folly was the first thing Boris saw when he came home. He cut Folly's throat open and left her on the floor to bleed to death. It was a miracle that she survived. She was only thirteen. 

It interrupted her performances, as few as they had been. The recovery was long and painful, but it only created a deep resentment for her father. Her mother took him back after a month. The police were never informed as to what exactly happened, so Boris faced no charges for attempted murder. The circus went by a policy of settling family matters within the family. It was only when Folly turned fourteen that her neck was fully healed, and that she had been cleared to once again fly on the trapeze.
