Audition: [link]

OhmyGod... massive text alert. Artie has to be THE MOST COMPLEX CHARACTER I have D:

Name: Olivia "Artie" Douglass
Age: 17-18
Gender: Female (easily mistaken for a boy, tho)
Height: 5'10"
Weight: Not a lot :/ She's too skinny. Not very healthy.
Current Occupation: Assassin/Assistant for Mr. Benson Storns. And she works part-time at a bar down the street from her boarding house. She's good at getting drunks to STFU and GTFO :T

Personality:
Artie's got about three main personalities. First'd be her usual one, a regular teenager, really. Slacks off on stuff, jokes around, rants about stuff that annoys her, and acting a little immature when things don't go her way. This is only around those who're close to her, though (as few as they may be) and when she's not picking a fight with them (as scarce as that is). Second is her buisness-self. Quick and efficient, gets the job done, no jokes, all serious. She doesn't make mistakes when she's like this. And lastly, is when she's angry. Or rather, enraged-to-the-point-of-cold-blooded-murder. She's ruthless, uncaring, and can be downright scary, even to people who are used to seeing her like that. She makes the most mistakes when she's like this, mostly from being too hasty or not thinking things through. And when she's like this, it's hard/downright impossible to get her to calm down if the object of her rage is within sight.

History:
She doesn't like her parents. Her dad left when she was three, her stepfather never wanted a daughter, and her mother never sided with her when her stepdad picked a fight. So, when she was 11, she ran away from home. She only planned to be gone for a week, but circumstances ended up leading her to be sold to the circus by some guy wanting to make a quick buck. She learned how to handle a gun from the knife-thrower, and became the ace-shooter in the circus. Eventually, though, she wanted to go home. After saving up money for a couple of years, she and the knife-thrower escaped. They were employed by Mr. Benson Storns, a rather powerful overlord in the black market (normal guns-for-hire bore him. Knife-throwers and teenage gunslingers aplenty~!).
Everything's perfectly fine until, when Artie was sixteen, the knife-thrower finally got some morals and turned traitor against Benson. He asked Artie for help, but she pulled out at the last second.
Knife-thrower dies, Benson and Artie live on.
... And nothing else really happened until the 'present day' (Christmas, 1921)
--Ok, guys, I'm leaving out a shitload of info here :I One, because it may or may not include spoilers for my rp and two, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH DAMN INFO.
So if you want more info on Artie's history than just the basic crap, send me a note an' I'll be more than happy to tell ya there~ :3--

Habits:
Since she works in a bar parttime, she drinks a lot, though everytime she does she swears she'll never do it again since, while she can drink alot, the hangover headaches are worse than hell itself (according to her).
She also hums children's songs absentmindedly sometimes :/ And she swears alot.
She's also got a certain love for newsboy hats. If she sees one in a store or just lying around, she'll prolly steal it.

How to make her:
Happy- Don't bullshit, don't act like a douche.... actually, to be honest, she's never really happy...
Unless you give her blueberry coffee :/ Only Corona knows how to make it, though.
Mad- Be a traitor, call her a 'delicate flower', treat her like she doesn't know anything because she's a woman, call her 'Ollie', 'Liv', 'Livi', or 'Olivia' (only Corona can get away with this without dying), break her guns, be better than her at something.
Sad- Tell her that she broke her promise, and that she will never, ever, see 'him' again (SPOILERZ. PM FER INFO D: )

Fighting style:
If she just wants to hurt you or render you inable to fight, she'll prolly shoot you in the foot/hand/both or something. If she wants to kill you... she'll kill you :/ (unless Corona won't let her). If she just wants to get in a fight or she doesn't have her gun, she'll fight. She fights dirty, though. Doesn't let silly little things like 'rules' or 'morals' get in the way of her winning :/
Her overall method is 'get it done and get it done quick'. She doesn't like wasting time.
Editttt: Just so you know, Artie LOVES a good fight. She loves any excuse to use her guns, but also finds it a bit boring how most of her jobs are over the second she pulls the trigger. Give her a challenge D:<

Strengths:
She doesn't worry if people think badly of her, she NEVER misses (unless you're, like, the Flash or something), she's rather good in a fight/all things offensive.
Weaknesses:
If you piss her off, she's more prone to mistakes. She's TERRIFIED of small dogs/cats (the yappier, the worse... although she's likely to just shoot the thing instead of letting it keep her from what she needs to do). She can't swim (not afraid of water, just sinks like a stone)
She also has a small soft spot for children around 7 to 12. She swears that she hates children, but still...

Beliefs:
She's not religious. At all :I Though she IS convinced she's going to die young and go to hell. She's a firm believer in karma, and she knows that she's done a lot of killing/maiming/ruining lives enough to kill any chance of happiness she'd ever have in her life. She doesn't care, though. She accepts whatever crappiness in her life that comes at her.
She also believes that if someone dies, it's their own damn fault for being too weak willed to stay alive (don't know where she got that logic from, but whatev :b)
And she doesn't kill kids. If they're 13 or under, she might hurt them, but she'll never kill them.
Also, she doesn't believe in anything supernatural (despite all the crazy shit that's happened to her and all the crazy people she knows... she just explains it off as something else). So, for the first few rounds, she'll prolly have something of a culture shock deal... :'D

Name: Corona
Age: 20 or so
Gender: Female
Height: 5'10"
Weight: A little above average. She's kinda big.
Current Occupation: Animal Trainer for Bill's Travelling Circus and Freakshow

Personality:
Immediatley she comes off as a giggly highschool girl, always acting silly and smiling 25/8. However, you can't deny the psycho vibe that comes from her... that something just underneath the skin isn't quite right. She seems like the type to care about others and be a generally all-around-nice person, but in reality the only people's welfare she cares for is for herself, Artie, and her pets (in that order). If you try to harm any of these things, she'll completely change. No bull, no jokes, no smiles, all serious. Unless you're Artie, in which case Corona is used to Artie maiming/killing her pets.

History:
(Slightly based off the song "Circus Fish" by Vermillion Lies)
Corona was born with what seemed to be a strange exotic skin disease, causing her skin to have a bluish tint. Her mother brought her to multiple doctors, but nothing helped. When she was four or five, her mother noticed some horns growing in her head. Disgusted and believing that she had a demon for a daughter, she sold her to the circus, promising to come back and visit from time to time... but never did.Corona doesn't dwell on this much, though.
While originally she was in the freak show, the ringmaster fast discovered how well she works with animals (so well it's f'ing scary almost), so she became the animal trainer :3
She's good friends with the knife-thrower and Gino the stongman.

Habits:
Taxidermy. She's rather good at taxidermy. Infact, most of her 'pets' are taxidermed. Except they're not dead. More like zombie-animals. And they do whatever she says. And there's an infinite amount of them.
Can you see why Artie hates them so much? :/

How to make her:
Happy- Usually being around Artie does this. She also finds children to be adorable when not annoying.
Mad- Kill/maim her pets. She will go batshit crazy on you :I Or harm/try to kill Artie. She will go even more batshit crazy (or get that weird calm-serious-i'm-going-to-fucking-hurt-you vibe). Or scream and shout alot. Ooorrr call her a demon.
Sad- If she ever took anything Artie said about her seriously, she'd prolly be sad. (she doesn't though :b)

Fighting Style:
*sings like Snow White and gets a shitload of forest creatures to kill you*
.... ok, not really. But she can 'convince' animals that you're a badguy and have them hurt you :b
Her clock piece is a clockhand... a very sharp clockhand. But Artie's not going to let her try to use it as a throwing-knife, as she'd prolly miss/hit Artie. But it comes in handy for a dagger :3
... Other than that, she can't fight :T

Strengths:
She can manipulate people into doing what she wants them to do C: She's also good at noticing things that others might not initially pick up on.
Weaknesses:
She can't defend herself worth shit :/ Unless she tries to stabbify you, but she's got terrible aim... and very little physical strength when it comes to throwing punches. (She's not weak, she just can't fight)
She also hates loud screaming/shouting noises. If you insist on making a lot of noise, she'll promptly tell you to STFU and probably throw something at you.
Also, she can't see in color. Nor is her vision that good when it's SUPER hot out.
And her depth perception isn't as good as everyone else's :/

Beliefs:
.... I don't think she has any :/

Relationship:
It all started about a week or so after Artie first came to the circus. The little 11-year-old was terrified of everything, having never faced anything so far from her home. Corona was thirteen, and had been in the circus nearly her entire life.... and liked to mess with newbies.
She found Artie to be especially fun to mess with, especially with the girl's fear of the zombie-animals that always accompanied her. Half the time she was best friends with Artie, the other time she terrorized her mercilessly, so she didn't know what to think.
One day, Artie was twelve and Corona was fourteen. Corona cornered her in one of the trailers and proceeded to scare the crap out of her like always.
Artie snapped. Corona barely got out of it alive. (It involved one of the knife-thrower's guns lying around. On a separate note, Artie's apparent natural skill for guns from this incident is what pushed him to teach her how to shoot)
After that day, Corona toned down the scary shit abit. The became fast friends (don't ask me how. I don't know D: ), sharing eachother's secrets and helping eachother out of tight spots. Of course, usually they hold eachother's promises over eachother's heads...
"If you tell them about (blankblank), I'll tell them about (yaddayadda)."
"FFFFNO. If you do that, then I'll tell them about (thisorthat) or when (thatthing) happened and you were all (this)."
"THAT'S A LIE. DB"
