im considering attempting to somewhat compile the cannon details of tma characters appearances
like, all of the times in cannon when a character is described in some way
ill sorta give an example with Nikola Orsinov [if there are any descriptions i missed please do tell me]
im not used to citing quotes and such so im just kinda winging it, naturally im using " to indicate when a quote ends/ starts but im also using - to seperate them and ... when its not a complete sentence, really hope this makes sense lol. also all of these is copypasted from the transcripts with some minor edits to remove awkward spaces
quotes from MAG083 - Drawing a Blank: "...a mannequin set up like a ringmistress, dressed in some of the more theatrical clothes that Fanton’s was selling that season." - "Topped with a bright red top hat and clutching a whip..." [note that the quotes before this blurb you are reading right now are describing the outfit upon the original mannequin, not Nikola. after this everything is just Nikola.] "The arms were just a little bit longer, the neck ever-so-slightly twisted, and the face, where before there had just been the faintest hint of a nose and a slight smile, was almost completely blank, save for a small patch of broken plastic near its forehead." - "...it held the whip in cruel, sharp fingers." - "And through it all that ringmistress stood there, malicious and unmoving, brandishing her whip ready to strike." - "...I heard Lana’s voice calling to me. Except it didn’t sound quite right. There was a strangled, hoarse quality to it, like the words were being pushed out against her will." - "...it began to move. Its steps were jerky and stiff, arms snapping out and back as it moved towards me step by step." - "The faceless figure loomed over me, and when it bent down, the finger it placed upon my lips was cold, hard plastic." - "...it had no mouth to form the sound." - "...I can taste the blood and plastic of that stiff and lifeless hand."
quotes from MAG097 - We All Ignore The Pit [post statement]: "How could I sound anything, silly? I’m plastic. [The sound of tapping on plastic.] I don’t even have a voicebox. I had to borrow this one." - "Face to no face! Eye to… well." - "
quotes from MAG104 - Sneak Preview [Nikola is technically Joseph Grimaldi in this statement but quotes from MAG 119 show this is still technically Nikola]: "All ruffles, and polka dots, and tights. A clown. It crouched and contorted in the corner, hands backwards over its face, but not so much that I couldn’t see the dark red patterns that seemed to flow down its eyes" - "Slowly, so slowly, its right arm reached out towards Danny. It placed its hand on the floor with a long, low groan, then pulled itself along the floor, the fabric of its colourful dress scraping the rough stone of the stage, and its cheek rubbing against the ground, leaving a trail of red behind it. Then it was still for a second, before a leg reached out in front, and it began to drag the rest of the clown behind it." - "The red on the cheeks was now clearly blood, and something black oozed down from its shock of hair."
quotes from MAG119 - Stranger and Stranger: "I see the sad clown, bitter and hateful. I see him finding his way to a circus where nobody knew him. I see him torn apart, becoming the mask, remade by a cruel ringmaster. Sometimes a doll, sometimes a mannequin, always hiding in somebody else’s skin, somebody else’s name." - " TIM Grimaldi…NIKOLA Once. A long time ago. Before Orsinov made me. And sometimes even now, for special occasions. Like your brother."
im pretty sure thats everything, comment if i missed something or if you want me to do another character!
