Krasnov Triplets

## The Krasnov Triplets

The **Krasnov Triplets** were three conjoined Dremirian brothers who worked as bakers and busboys at Cerulean Cove, a bakery on Bonbon Station. Individually, they went by **Smooth**, **Sideburns**, and **Goatee** in correspondence to their facial hair (or lack thereof, in the case of Smooth). As employees at Cerulean Cove, the triplets were coworkers and friends with Cerulean, Aspara, Lunaria, Ruby Rundum, and Ford.

## Biography

### Facing Ostracization, Being Met With Kindness

The Krasnov Triplets were born on the planet Galatea, a colony of the United Cassiopeian Republic that served as a refuge for Dremirians escaping the persecution of the Praeliorian Empire. When the triplets emerged from their molten crystal wells at birth, they scared off the surrounding Dremirians because of their deformities. This broke their spirit, having left them feeling alone and casted out of society. The triplets felt as if they were the only ones who could truly love themselves, and even then, their self confidence broke bit by bit with every fearful look from a stranger.

It wasn't until they met a kind Praeliorian woman, Cerulean, when the triplets were welcomed with genuine kindness and friendship. Cerulean did not judge them for looking different from others, which made the three of them truly feel loved and cared about by someone else. Cerulean eventually established a bakery on Bonbon Station, a space station dedicated to housing all sorts of culinary artisans who wished to show the rest of the galaxy their craft. Cerulean Cove was open for business, with the triplets being offered jobs as bakers and busboys. They gladly accepted Cerulean's offer and had worked there ever since.

## Personality and Traits

Smooth, Sideburns, and Goatee were Dremirian men who were conjoined at the chest from birth. Their three heads shared the same torso and the three of them shared two pairs of arms and one pair of legs. They all had skin colored a greyish turquoise and hair of crystal threads colored turquoise as well. While Smooth and Sideburns had black-colored eyes, with no discernible difference from their pupils and irises, Goatee had vivid, turquoise-colored eyes. All three of them possessed cheek marks colored bright yellow and cyan.

While the three brothers each had their own distinct personalities, they all shared a strong sense of family and love towards one another and often found comfort in themselves whenever they could not find it elsewhere. They considered their pet peeves and occasional bickering with one another to be personal acts of care.

### Smooth

Smooth was the most talkative out of his brothers by far. He had a loud and social butterfly-like attitude and was often outward about how he felt at any given moment. Some might have seen him as overly friendly, but Smooth saw this aspect of himself as a positive, as he enjoyed making connections with others. He often called his friends freaks and weirdos as a sign of endearment. These playful jabs were something Smooth was accustomed to doing often.

As a baker, Smooth was considered the least skilled out of his brothers and was infamous for his messily-decorated desserts. This often regulated Smooth to busboy duty and away from dessert decorations, something his two brothers found relief in.

As a result of being ostracized during his early life, Smooth was a bit reckless when it came to appearances. He didn't mind eating desserts like cupcakes that had fallen onto the floor of the bakery in front of others, much to the annoyance of his two brothers. This played into his boisterous and overall rowdy attitude.

### Sideburns

Sideburns was much more soft-spoken than Smooth, and was considered to be the most endearing and overall softest out of his brothers. He had a gentler, quieter, and overall nicer sounding voice than Smooth, who some considered somewhat brash. Sideburns' voice was reflected in his attitude, as he always tried being respectful and kind to others. This kindhearted demeanor was what he wanted others to show him and his brothers at an early age, and so he decided that he would always try and give others what he wasn't given at birth.

Sideburns was relatively okay at baking and decorating deserts, at least compared to Smooth (which wasn't saying much). He enjoyed doing his best as an employee, as he felt it to be his duty to repay Cerulean for all the kindness she showed him and his brothers.

Sideburns was used to Smooth's antics and would sometimes call him out on messy and/or reckless behavior. It was only with his brother Smooth where Sideburns' sassier side came out into the open.

### Goatee

Compared to his two brothers, Goatee was the least-spoken of the three. While many thought he was born mute, Goatee actually made an active choice not to speak much at all. He preferred showing how he felt on certain matters through his actions and his expressions rather than through speech. Initially, his choice to stay mute came from his lack of social support during his early years, which rendered him rather hesitant to speak.

Because of his silence, Goatee stuck out as the most mysterious out of his brothers. Underneath his unassuming exterior, Goatee actual had quite the creative passion, and was considered the best at decorating cakes compared to Sideburns and Smooth. Of course, he was very nonchalant and modest about this skill, but was not afraid to be critical on poor-quality desserts (even if he expressed this disdain impressively without words).

Like Sideburns, Goatee was also used to Smooth's antics, but chose not to correct his brother knowing that Sideburns would normally do it for him. Goatee came to expect Smooth's recklessness and considered it just another part of their day-to-day lives.

## Skills and Abilities

Like most Dremirians, the Krasnov Triplets were capable of performing powerful feats of magic. However, Sideburns and Goatee preferred not to use their magic often, whereas Smooth often only used their magic for convenience.

## Trivia

* The Krasnov Triplets were originally named the Krasnovite Triplets as former *Steven Universe* fan characters.
	+ While Sideburns and Goatee kept their individual names as *Steven Universe* fan characters, Smooth had his name changed from Smoothie.
	+ As *Steven Universe* fan characters, the triplets were considered defective and off-color by Gem society because of their conjoined nature. While the "defective" label has since been rescinded, the triplets still struggle with ostracization in the *Conjuring Cosmos* continuity for similar reasons to their past counterparts.
