APPEARANCE
Naturally, he is quite bland. Aside from his more pearly scales, he is a basic SandWing. Well... not really. His wings are a rosy shade with hints of some purple. His horns and claws go towards violet. He is a bit stubbier, too. He also sports two butterfly tattoos representing freedom. His shape could only be described as.. pleasingly round and easy to look at. His overall shape helps with performing too.. speaking of which.
He wears makeup and often a lot of it. It’s usually for the big top shows, but he wears it for himself too. He gets to choose his makeup looks and they're not often the same. At all. Most of the time he wears light blush and not much else. Makeup is his art as much as performance.
PERSONALITY
Happy, bubbly, bold—these are some of the words that define his personality. He is a bright social theater kid at heart. He’d frolic through flowers if there were any in the desert. He is happy and dripping with enthusiasm.
Not every single thing is so happy. He has had some uphill climbing: what I’m talking about is the transphobia and homophobia he has experienced. Even with people he loves dearly. Like his father: Cactus. Cactus did not think that Circus really was a boy. Circus could not convince his father he was who he was. Now let me not write the whole backstory in the personality section.
He has struggled. With his mom's death. With his sister's adoption. With his father’s homophobic nature. But he is here now. Surviving.
ABILITIES
He has all of the normal SandWing abilities along with some other abilities, such as:
*His amazing makeup abilities
*He has some contortionist abilities
*His explosive happiness

HISTORY
Circus grew up in a wealthy but strained family. His mom was the most supportive and she died when Circus was 4. His father was lonely after that and adopted a RainWing egg. When she hatched Circus was no great mentally. He was getting his first hints of dysphoria and was debating whether or not he liked boys or girls.
Circus was always entranced by the Big top. He loved the performances. His dad would take him after performances to meet the performers. He knew he wanted to wear the makeup and make other dragons laugh. His father begrudgingly paid for lessons in performance. He mastered it in a matter of years. Wooing crowds. He thought it was especially fun listening to small dragonets laughter. It was all bliss.
Then he met Puffin. He thought that his life was amazing before he met him. They met after one of his shows. Circus, who was used to dull SandWing scales in the audience noticed Puffin immediately. He stopped momentarily. "Wow," he thought. This was the first time he’d ever seen an IceWing. When the show was over he went over to talk to him. They had a lovely conversation and knew they wanted see each other again. For Circus it was true love, yet it took Puffin awhile to find feelings back. When he did, it was a fairy-tale happy ending.
Then Circus started performing for money and not just a apprentice. He was racking in cash. He tried to save or donate all the money. He was so happy with his jobs and loved everyone in his life. His smiling face and exciting personality always drew crowds in. He was loved. He became the mascot of the circus. Everyone from all over came to see him. But two reliable faces were always in the crowd. Cotton and Puffin. Then It hit him to buy a house of his own. He was only 18 but he could move. So ha bought a small tent. Just for him and Puffin. Something wasn’t right. There was a hole in there lives. They did not know what, though.
RELATIONSHIPS
*Heat: Heat is Circus’s father. He and Circus have a very strange and maybe toxic relationship. His dad is always saying things like "it’s a phase" and "you're still a girl."
*Cotton: They have a very strong bond and are good sibs. He can trust her to the third continent and back.
*Puffin: Puffin is Circus’s IceWing boyfriend. They get into some crazy stuff and are deeply intertwined with each other. Puffin listens, gets his makeup done, and cuddles. They are perfect together.
TRIVIA
*He doesn’t get angry easily, but when he does, he gets really angry. 
*He collects cicada shells.
*He loves the ocean and swimming, unlike most other SandWings.
*He also does makeup for other dragons and has a tent doing it.
