Commission for @roseofithaca ft her OC Silver (witch puppet) and my OC Cookie (Jack-In-The-Box)

Black Phillip checking on her every hour until nightfall to see if she’s ready to live deliciously:

"Cookie" - Real name Amy Richards

Age: 19

- Accidentally joined the circus when helping her best friend fix up an old computer that was left to gather dust at a charity shop. The friend was tinkering with the VR headset it came with and asked Amy to put it on and let her know when it started working, only for the system to boot up and carry on where it left off - a strange circus game.

- Joined the circus in 2014

- In her real life had been an Alternative Mall Goth/Emo studying in college. She liked to spend her time alone and only socialize when absolutely necessary (apart from hanging out with her best friend listening to music, smoking cigarettes - and occasionally other substances).

- Her circus avatar is a Jack-In-The-Box. At first she was trapped inside due to her spring being welded to the bottom of the box. The box was very large and she couldn't get it to move, so she wasn't able to partake in adventures, putting her at the highest risk of abstracting due to lack of interaction/stimulation. In a bout of quick thinking, Caine conjoured a second 'portal' inside Cookie's box. While she still couldn't go through it, it acted as a sort of screen so she could watch the others while they were on the adventure. Eventually, as Caine grew stronger in his programming, he was able to find a way to painlessly remove Cookie from her box and attach a plaque to the bottom of her spring so she could bounce around freely (and so she wouldn't topple over)

- When she holds her breath, her spring starts to coil up so tightly that it causes her to bounce so high she can end up in the void (Caine has had to retrieve her multiple times)

- At first, Cookie despised her new home and her new body in particular. Mostly because it did nothing but limit her mobility at first, secondly because it's completely the opposite end of the aesthetic spectrum that she likes. She likes darkness, bats, spikes and chains. Not stuffed toys, nursery rhymes and fluffy frills. But as time went on she decided to play the cute-but-creepy card. She has a music box in her chest that she can use any time and likes to freak everyone out by playing it from wherever she is hiding around the tent (yes, it plays Pop Goes The Weasel)
