Whoop, new character time again, and luckily it's a couple more Troupe members! Honestly the fact you only meet like four people from Grimm's Troupe in canon has always been strange to me, there just gotta be more. So I'm slowly working toward filling out the ranks.
For a few days now I've had glimpses of a really tall lanky boi with very sharp features, though I didn't really know much about him until today. Then also came the realization of "oh crap that's another dude, I am still officially at only one female HK character rip", and as soon as that thought passed I saw this lil lady appear. And I might have only known Miette for a day but if anything happened to her I would kill everyone in this room and then myself pffff. I've also drawn them together because they just came to me at about the same time, otherwise they aren't particularly close, though there is this fun contrast of Sirocco being the tallest and most angular of the Troupe while Miette is the shortest and softest.

As usual these are only concepts and some things might change by the time I actually get to their refs, potentially color adjustments and such. But in the meantime have some info.


Sirocco:
- Mud dauber.
- Tallest of the Troupe.
- Has a friendly rivalry with Karkana.
- Second in command of security, in charge when Karkana isn't around.
- His acts involve knife throwing, juggling and acrobatics/parkour, and other combat related things, whatever is needed for the night and isn't filled by another member.
- Tends to share acts with Karkana and Aliessia.
- Smokes.
- Suffers from heavy case of resting bitchface.
- Generally cold and unfriendly seeming by nature even though he doesn't always mean to sound so harsh. If you're willing to put up with the rough edges though he makes for decent enough company.
- Used to be an assassin before joining the Troupe. Grimm found him dying after a regicide mission gone wrong.
- Besides security, essentially functions as the Troupe's secret service and hitman. Unmatched when it comes to scoping out new areas and digging up information from the dark underbelly of the kingdoms they visit.
- Also in charge of discretely taking care of bugs that might prove a threat to the Troupe.
- Stinger contains a very powerful paralyzing venom.
- Incredibly stealthy for someone his height, good at squeezing himself into tight fits.
- Was not present during the Troupe's stay in Hallownest, dealing with some business in another kingdom.
- Sharp fangs, similar to Karkana's.
- Has a taste for spider flesh.
- If you spite him you might find your room/house door blocked by a thick layer of mud. (Do not mess with a bug who can reenact the Cask of Amontillado without trouble).
- Honestly doesn't care much about the circus business, but he doesn't mind it either since most of the time he still gets to do his old job.
- All of the pink fluff he wears is costume, he doesn't grow any fluff naturally.

Miette:
- Of a bug species not native to earth, retaining a caterpillar-like form throughout their whole life.
- Potentially oldest (in appearance and age pre joining) member of the Troupe, being in her fifties when joining.
- Shortest of the Troupe.
- Mostly speaks in third person.
- Fortune teller.
- One of the most dramatic members, could almost rival Grimm in that.
- Best friends with Divine.
- Smoll but fierce, has been known to intimidate much bigger bugs.
- If she feels threatened and intimidation fails, she can and will throw that crystal ball in your face, and it will hurt, a lot.
- The ball is part of her Troupe powers, as such incredibly hard to break and she can teleport it back into her hands after throwing, she can also summon more, thus having an infinite amount of projectiles.
- Knows when she's been dreamnailed.
- Surprisingly nimble for her age and shape, dodges by quickly rolling out of the way.
- Kind of the aunt/grandma type.
- Plays the zither.
- Had children before joining the Troupe, uncertain what became of them though. In fact her past is still unclear to me, as is her reason for joining the Troupe. But I'm beginning to think it might have simply been loneliness.
