Mae Tristesse, The personification of the emotion "Sadness", I however didn't want her to be too stereotypical and I made her more a character that moves people to tears through dance/performance instead. Based on black swan ballet.
Dani and her mother, Main characters
Griffin Ramsley, The personification I made based on a smug bastard who runs rigged carnival games, he hates reacting his anger off on people, but because of that he also represses his core emotion and is he one of the weaker performers in the Fair. Therefore can also hold his form less stable which is why his hooves/goat legs still shine through.
