## Personality

Cyanide Spendlow is what most would describe as a quiet person who cares a little too much but honestly that isn’t completely true.

Cyanide presents themself as a carefree performer who will do anything for a show, if this means putting up with an abusive customer then so be it! they can learn from the situation and know what to do the next time they are stick with a customer like this for any reason!

Cyanide is a somewhat forgetful person so enjoys carrying around their recorder and refuses to talk unless its recording the conversation and making it harder for them to mishear instructions.

Cy is also very co-dependant person towards their sibling, but most of their carefree Attatude is an act they created to survive talking to customers, behind the scenes they are a very clingy but snarky person who will often listen back to their Tapes and shittalk different people who come to the shows that day

## Backstory

Cyanide was born to a couple who weren’t really the most stable. Maryanna wanted to stay with The circus, refusing to be turned down and simply wanting to move around while Her Lover, Quintin Whitlock didn’t want this, he wanted a stable home where he could raise their child and settle down.

This lead to one thing, Two days after Cyanide was born? Their parents break up and Cyanide was left with their Mother while their father left to gain that stable life he craved, Cy never really heard from him again.

Maryanna was more than willing to look after her child, but sometimes its stressful while she had to do her shows so the rest if the circus soon stepped up and brought to truth the saying of it takes a Village

Things went great, until Cy was only 2 months old and His mother Come back to their caravan with a new baby.

This new baby just never left and soon Cyanide wasn’t considered just one, no. Cyanide was considered part of a duo, nicknamed the Poison twins thanks to their names matching the poisonous substance.

As the twins Grew, they soon focused on different parts of the circus that interested them, Cy from age four onwards took an interest in acrobatics, from silks to Hair dancing to the cyr wheel. Cyanide was only six when they asked one of the older acrobats to teach them!

Cy focused mostly on air acrobatics, from aerial Silks and tightrope walking, being so high in the air was perfect for them! they Even started Performing within the Circus’ shows when they were only Nine, showing off the multiple tricks they had been practicing but sadly, things did go bad quite quick.

Cyanide was only 13 when it happened, a misplaced movement while they were practicing a drop from the top of the Big Top, they couldn’t catch themselves and instead when crashing to the ground. breaking their leg and wrist on the left side. Cy had to place their acrobatic routine on a hiatus indefinitely.

sadly Cy’s injury never really healed correctly, even after it should have. Cy took to using a walking stick since it made the pains of walking a lot more bearable, but sometimes Bel would take to carrying Cy around instead because it was a little easier and made the younger feel loved.

But, Cy needed a new act, they couldn’t be an acrobat anymore because it hurt too much and their flexibility was destroyed, but they didn’t want to be one of the people that simply spend all their time looking after all of the stalls during the main show..

That was when Bel brought up an idea, why doesn’t the two make a duo show instead? the idea intrigued the Young fifteen year old who had started feeling useless within their home

Bel and Cy soon combined their talents, Cy introducing more improv and music into the acts while Bel introduced his Whip work and creative mind to create a unique performance

over the next five years, as their act become more popular? the poison twins soon become a common name within the circus community and they were one of the Faces behind Cirque de Fantasia.
