Two at once, because Fyre is ADD and because actually in some world somewhere the two concepts are meant to be together. At least, so they're telling me now.
That and I'm drawing a tattoo'd Lady while I work on this.

Name: born Annuska Lengyel, changed to Annabelle Engle
Appearance: As the subject suggests, Ann has a fair number of tattoos. She's a bit on the short side, with an attractive (in the curvy manner) figure, and a face with features that look a bit impish rather then 'handsome' or 'beautiful'. Her hair was once dark brown, but is often bleached and dyed and could be any color she prefers at the time and hasn't been 'dark brown' in a long time.
Personality: Like many performers, Ann is a bit two sided. She makes a living showing off her body, and when just being tattoo'd isn't enough she won't shirk from letting 'naked' be the real draw. Although she puts up a front that is all smiles and seduction, she is in fact a bit of a man hater. She is likely to dislike anyone male out of hand, judge them harshly, and will always take a ladies side against a gentleman. She's cynical, and sarcastic, but not to the point of being just plain obnoxious and bitter. If she considers you a real friend, she is capable of being warm, loving, and very supportive.
World: Type A, WWII-1950's Europe.

History: When she was 14 Ann ran away from home to join the circus (not this one), and found out it wasn't as magical as she expected it to be. She made her way across Europe living the bohemian life and when fallen upon hard times, made a living as a prostitute. A series of odd jobs led her to burlesque dancing in Germany, where she met and became the lover and partner of a radical performance artist. When things became tense in the country, and they were both forced to flee, Ann became separated from him, and found herself left behind in France while her former lover fled to America. For Ann, the magic is gone from the stage and its just another day and another job. Someone needs to help her find it again.
Skills
Stage 1: An old hand at stage shows and strip shows alike, Ann is a handy ladies maid back stage for the show, helping with makeup and hair, mending costumes, etc.
Stage 2: The tattoo'd lady, a side show of her own, dancing and near nudity showing off the colorful images tattoo'd all over her body. She doesn't have a bad singing voice either...
Stage 3: A capable young lady, with the right teacher, Ann could learn a skill like contortion or acrobatic type performances. Or with the right encouragement, could become a show in her own right with a warm voice good for singing cabaret songs and a fabulous body to go with it.

reference and inspiration
The Decemeberists CD "Castaways and Cutouts"

My obsession with tattoos, drawing them, and giving them to my characters.
The fact that I was drawing a tattoo'd girl for a series of carnival illustrations I was already working on.
