The Dead Moon Circus, operated by Zirconia, is as in other versions both an actual circus and a front for Nehellenia, who seeks revenge on the White Moon and those under it after having been trapped in a mirror for aeons, and who look for "the one with a dream blessed by a Pegasus", under a prophecy that dictates that whoever has said dream will give "the one under the White Moon's light" the key to their defeat. To do this, she instructs their minions to hunt down people with beautiful dreams and check their Dream Mirrors, which are spiritual objects that show people's dreams - either their old ones which have been realized, their new ones, or the ones they've given up on.

We start with the Amazon Trio which is now the Amazon 4, as I've replaced Xenotime and Zeolite with a new character - Ox's Eye! it's the red/brown variant of Tiger's Eye. Also yeah they look significantly different lol, I've made them all have the torso of a human but the head, forearms and legs of the animal they are - as much like the other versions, they're all animals given human form by Zirconia. Their job is to find the one with "the dream blessed by a pegasus", who will have a Dream Mirror with a golden hue compared to normal people, whose Dream Mirrors are simply iridescent, projecting their dreams as a hologram or illusion.

Individually I take the best parts of each incarnation of them which is also really really hard because on god the Trio never get fuckall good lmao. Tiger's Eye is a South China tiger, musically inclined and self-centered, only targeting musicians and similar. Hawk's Eye is a western marsh harrier, who favors those with experience and drive, focusing on those pursuing dreams in academic or business fields. Fish Eye is a white comet goldfish, ever vain and pretty, and only cares for those with exceptional beauty. Ox's Eye, the newcomer, is a water buffalo, and essentially more of a himbo who acts as the muscle of the group, focusing on people pursuing self-betterment. In the Circus proper, Tiger's Eye is the animal whisperer, Hawk's Eye is the fire breather, Fish Eye is the juggler and balancer, and Ox's Eye is the Strongman. The audience simply thinks their forms are a costume.

Zirconia and Zircon! pretty close to their canon versions as well - Zircon scouts out potential "pegasus dream" havers, Zirconia commands the Amazon 4 and the Lemures and also is the one managing the Circus as the MC and host. Zirconia is also a manifestation/"cocoon" of Nehellenia, and once the latter is fully recovered ends up emerging from her.
