## Physical description

### Eye color

Brown

A Nameless Ghoulette - or often referred to as "Cirrus" - is the tallest female ghoul (otherwise known as ghoulette), standing at about 6'2'' (approximately) . She is the lead keyboardist and is most famously known for playing the keytar during the solo of Mummy Dust. She plays on the stage right keyboard platform. She also does backing vocals and plays tambourine and shaker for certain songs. She's slim and has a curvy body build and is most often seen wearing her cape, but at times, she will take it off.

During the later legs of the 2022 IMPERATOUR era, Cirrus' balaclava was pulled up to cover her mouth at times. The reason being is due to her face paint wearing off due to the warm temperatures of certain locations that were visited in the following tours: IMPERATOUR - North America 2022, RE-IMPERATOUR Europe & U.S.A. 2023. During the RE-IMPERATOUR cycle, she has been seen wearing a backup mask that consists of no patches and long, slim horns; this is only due to the fact that her original mask is getting deep-cleaned due to the same reasoning as to why she has her balaclava pulled up during her solo. Her mask has a patch next to her right lens mesh.

She is formerly known to hand out roses that were made out of Mummy Dust bills during the Prequelle era (Rats! On The Road - A Final Gig Named Death), but hasn't done so ever since.

## Personality

Cirrus is one of the more affectionate ghouls of the lineup and is often seen interacting with other ghouls during and after live shows. She often interacts with the crowd from her riser and often portrays a high-energy personality by jumping and/or dancing.

## History & Appearance - ERA IV

Cirrus' first show with Ghost was on May 4th, 2018 @ The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, California, she was - and as of writing: still is - one of the - at the time - two female ghoulettes, often referred as Ghulehs or Lionesses by Cardinal Copia for when they got their introduction during the live performance of If You Have Ghosts. Cirrus contributed to the band by being the equivalent of the former Air Ghoul by playing a total of four keyboards, one keyboard rack that was on the right side of "the cage" - an extension of the Prequelle era set where both lionesses were stationed - and the middle keyboard rack that was shared with Cumulus, Cirrus also provided percussion by playing tambourine and shaker - sometimes even double shakers - for certain songs, and she also provided backing vocals for some songs, although she was and still isn't as audible as she is the bass to the harmonies, unlike Cumulus who is the lead backing vocalist and is allowed to go a higher range. Cirrus was also - of course - notable for playing the keytar solo for the live performance of Mummy Dust, where she would station exactly in the middle on top of the steps to perform said solo. She was known to do a lot of gestures, most notably do the gesture of Baphomet, the infamous pose where she would cross her arms and have her hands doing the devil horns, and of course the heart hands. She also wore an identical mask to Cumulus; a silver devil mask that looked the same as the ghouls', but with a feminine touch to it: longer hair, and slightly different eye cuts, more pushed out facial area, and a slimmer nose. Her dress shirt sleeves were usually rolled up to show her forearms and she's double-jointed and sometimes when she'd wave into the crowd, that would show. She also wore two golden rings on her left hand.

Cirrus also provided a lot of keyboard solos during certain live versions of songs. most notably on Dance Macabre, Square Hammer, Helvetesfönster, Miasma, and Cirice and usually she would act out to be sassy whenever she would play a solo that belonged to her. For the 2018 cycle, Cirrus played on the following keyboards: Nord Electro 6, Sequential Prophet 6, Little Phatty Stage II, and the Mellotron M400D, and she played a Roland AX-Synth keytar. Though, for the 2019 cycle, the keyboards changed to the following: Roland Juno DS-88, Roland A-500PRO (2 sets), and a Roland A-800PRO, and she played a Roland AX-Edge keytar, these equipment were used from 2019's European leg of A Pale Tour Named Death until 2022's North American leg of the IMPERATOUR.

Cirrus was also interactive with the fans despite how far she usually was from them, but she also was very interactive with the rest of the band as well, most notably with her other ghuleh, Cumulus, Rain, Sodo, and Aether, especially whenever she would have a duo solo with any of them. Like mentioned before, she was also well-known for giving out flowers that were made out of Mummy Dust bills after shows to the crowd, and she also used to hold hands with Cumulus and walk around the stage giving out said flowers or handing out spare guitar/or bass picks from backstage. If the stage was set up correctly, Cirrus would not throw the picks into the crowd like the other ghouls would, she would instead get on her knees at the end of the thrust and politely hand out picks to fans in their hands.

## History & Appearance - ERA V

Cirrus does everything the same she did in the previous era, although she is no longer contained in "the cage" and instead remains on her own platform that's positioned on the right side (crowd's left) of Mountain's platform, although, she still does play four keyboards as mentioned before, but as of RE-IMPERATOUR Europe 2023 the equipment has been changed out - at least, keyboard wise. The keytar still remains the same, however.

Cirrus now does more backing vocals than the previous era, however, she still doesn't sing every song. Cirrus will often shift her microphone stand from left to right depending on which side she's playing majority of the on-going song on. While she doesn't do backing vocals for every song, she does for some songs such as the live performances of Year Zero, Faith, Spillways, and Call Me Little Sunshine. It is often to hear her sing due to her being the bass for backing vocals and is often mistaken for Aurora.

Cirrus typically wears her cape, although, she will take it off sometimes due to personal preference. She never wears her jacket that the rest of the ghouls - with the exception of Aurora, Cumulus, Mountain - wear. She has rolled up sleeves for her undershirt, she is double-jointed, and she's super energetic as mentioned before. As of August 2023: her mask may vary, but typically she will have a patch that is similar to Sodo's on her right lens, near the mesh. It is a pointy patch on both ends. She will typically have her mask straps tightened, causing the mouth cut to be squeezed in-ward a bit, and she's also slim and tall. Her backup mask is a mask with long, slim black horns and no patches to identify her, this is a backup mask and it is not permanent. Just like in Era IV, she wears two rings on her left hand and as of the U.S.A. leg of the RE-IMPERATOUR she's been known to make paper airplanes of spare setlists during the curtain call and throw them into crowds.

Her gestures still remain relatively the same from Era IV, but they always vary. She no longer hands out flowers made out of Mummy Dust, and she only hands out picks to the crowd like the other ghouls would, and during Mummy Dust she is known to be a lot more active and does her solo on the end of the thrust due to her keytar being wirelessly connected now unlike in Era IV where it was wired.
