A general sweetheart, Java is able to balance work and play depending on where they’re at and who they’re with. They’re super open to chatting with new people, never wanting to leave anyone out of things. They try and express their full range of emotions openly and easily, though when upset themselves they will clam up and self isolate.
An open book and a (not so) secret chaos gremlin, she knows when to pull back and will always over apologise with both words and actions if they were to ever slight anyone because of their actions. They adore anything soft and comfortable, with a lot of their aesthetic both at home and clothing being cottage core-esque, with a penchant for anything bunny.
Java is a Jackalope Fae who has been parading around in the human realm for a little while whilst on an extended sabbatical of their dream realm duties.
Their human guise is Java Brookes, a travelling librarian!
- The Freak Circus AU - Java works as an entertainer and does both acrobatics and basic juggling.
Java is also capable of transforming into a jackalope - however the cloak they use to do this (think selkie ruling here) is kept hidden from the public in a safe lockbox.

The bored shadow is bored. Usually when they’re bored, and Boss has nothing on his to-do list for them, they turn into an animal and go out into the woods just by the circus grounds and mess with ant hills or carcasses.
A rabbit! They don’t feel like being mean today, so they decide against turning into a wolf. They morph into a female bunny and hop up to it.
Java had been scrounging around for flowers and other herbs in the grasses by the circus compound in their rabbit form, far enough out of sight of any humans when they sensed a shift in the air and popped their head up, nose wiggling and ears perked, straight atop their head as they noticed the new rabbit hopping up to them.
Java watches the other with curiousity when they dont just hop away, sniffing themselves and then eyeing the circus for a moment.
'More shifters than anticipated, how curious~'
When the other returned with a flower however Java squeaked, shifting to rummage through the fur of their dewlap where some smaller pieces were stored to pull out their own gift of a purple flower and hop to place it beside the dandelion, little cotton tail wagging behind them.
💜 “Holy shit!” She gleefully hopped up and down, knowing that she came across another shapeshifter.
“Love the flower, super cute,” she mentions. “Are you gathering supplies for something? Can I help?” She has no idea why they’re scrounging for plants, but she seems delighted to assist.
Another shift and rather just a rabbit their antlers appear, their unnatural colours shifting, a glamour slipping for the other shifter to see through, still appearing as a rabbit to any curious guests.
"Oh from all over, really. Everywhere and nowhere, though- originally... not from this plane." Java hums, already hopping off just a little to nibble through some more dandelion stalks nibbling on them before bringing back the flowers. "What about yourself?"
The purple shiba walks up to harlequin,carrying a certain jackelope by the scruff. His tail wagging excitedly lifting their head to offer them to harlequin. ( @bunnies-in-bloom mentioned) - @purple-shiba
The jackalope makes a huffing noise, unable to thump their foot whilst being held up by the scruff but pricks their ears up at the individual in front of them.
A thump of their backfoot at the retreating dog, the jackalope sighs before shifting back into their humanoid form, smoothing out their circus fit before giving Harlequin a proper wave of the hand.
"You may call me Java, its good to meet you properly!"
"A Leo~" They couldnt help but quip immediately, smirking at their own joke before shaking their head, and waving it off before he could respond. "I am one of the Fair Folk, a Fae if you will."

The sense of another of the Fair Folk had the jackalope fae seek the other out, wanting to at least make introduction in case a territory was being breached. It wasnt often they interacted with other fae, especially as of late, so curiousity more than caution carried their footsteps, finding the individual fairly easily.
"Good greetings to you, regal one" - @bunnies-in-bloom
The dragon fae turned to face the other Fae, tilting his head slightly. "Oh? Another faerie? Greetings." He didn't know how to feel. Was the other Fae a friend? Foe? He decided to just wait and see instead of making assumptions
They hummed, taking in his expressions with an air of amusement at the almost stand off before they bowed, taking off the clown cap they wore that hid their ears and antlers briefly before slipping it back on. Not the most elegant but with this guise it was simpler to move in than their usual outfit at least.
"I pose no threat to you, if you are wondering as such, merely a courtesy call- to greet the fae in residence here, since I have made it my temporary home also!"
They smile, and there is no malice to their tone. A hand to their chest, they continue.
Axel took off his hat and bowed respectfully. "The name is Axel dear Java. It's lovely meeting you.. I haven't seen another fae since the Circus started."
They watched as he stepped closer, tilting their head. "Well, I do like to be polite, one shouldnt forget their manners. You mention since the circus started, you have followed along since then?"
Axel nodded "It was actually the day before they opened when they found me. I had to stay with the Doctor for a few weeks since I was malnourished. And after I was completely healed they set up a tent for me and ever since then I joined the family." He hummed softly "well. More like polycule but I won't get into that."
Their brows raised at that, but they waved a hand, as if such a thing were unimportant to the whole. "You found belonging, that is all that matters, regardless of its title."
They looked to the side as they peered back over the tents and sights of the circus before returning their gaze to him. "It is good to hear, after listening to rumours and tales of such a travelling troupe from the word of the local humans- I simply had to take a gander. It is good to see it is more haven than prison. Though I do suspect perspective at play there~"

“Jaaavaaa jaaavaaaaa,whatchu doooiinnn.” The purple shiba paws at their leg large bell jingling from the collar around their neck. “What are we doin today?” - @purple-shiba
They looked over from their set of plush cushions, book in hand, towards the shiba inu, both warmth and exasperation on their expression from the constant bell jingling.
"I mean, I was preparing to rest until opening, but if you're bored we could do something?"
They smile softly, running their fingers through the fur on the top of his head and scratching his ear. "Are you sure you want to nap? You seem to be vibrating with energy~"
Racket let out a tiny huff of a laugh as his cheeks are squeezed,smiling.
“I..don’t think I need to do any tasks?” He tilts his head when his face is freed. His ears fold back and this time he lets out a pouting whine. “What do you mean you wouldn’t mind?? I’m your best company ever!!” He insists as this time he shifts into his human form to climb into their lap pouting.
They snicker softly, making room for him after he had shifted, and wrapping their arms around the shorter male as he settles in their lap, fingers finding his ears again amidst his hair and scratching.
"Only the bestest of company" They coo, gently head-butting his against his hair, mindful of their antlers.
Racket’s tail wags so hard again as they head butt,kissing all over their face in delight. “Yeah I am.” He agreed as he wrapped his arms around them to hold them close.
“I like it! All the pretty people and all the fun things to do. The snaaacks!” Racket goes to take his hat off to fish inside it,his arm sinking into it up to his shoulder before pulling out a bucket of popcorn. Somehow still warm.
“I like the snacks the best! I had a hot dog earlier!! It was great! We have to meet the others soon! I know you’ll love that! Everyone is pretty nice!”
They somehow arent surprised that he'd taken to storing snacks in his hat, curious as to what else he had but also took a moment to take a handful of the popcorn themselves, popping a few in their mouth at a time after sniffing first to make sure it was safe.
"You know I heard rumours from the humans before joining about their foods but if you ate them and are fine then im sure there's nothing to worry about."
At the mention of meeting the others they smiled. "I look forward to it, always a bunch of interesting folks in circuses, and this one is definitely interesting~"
“I made sure to get the right kind.” Racket nods as he munches on a handful of popcorn. “No bad stuff here! Just a tasty snack!” He says happily.
“Oh yeah for sure this circus has a LOT of cool stuff here. Lotsa cool performers and stuff too. Though my spooder is a bit mean sometimes.” Racket laughs lightly at the mention of a certain performer he can’t help but antagonize.
