Personality
Susan and Pirouette are two completely different entities living in the same person, though Susan has no idea about her alternate ego. Susan's a quiet, nervous middle-aged woman with little to no social life, her only human interaction being the patients she works with daily. She tries her best to help them get over tragedies in life, being the help she could never get when it came to her abusive husband's drunken beatings.
Pirouette is almost a textbook definition of insanity. She believes herself to be Susan's outlet for rage and her break from the monotony of life which could explain the reasoning behind her clowny appearance and methods. She frequently taunts anyone attempting to stop her and shows little to no care for human life save for her gang, The Circus Freaks, who she treats as her very own children.
Philosophy on Crime
History
The Clown Begins
Susan Harlen's relationship with her husband, Joseph, was anything but pleasant. While she worked, he cared for the children until she came home and then would go out and drink at any bar he could find before either sleeping with a random woman or returning home angry that he couldn't find a new lay and took it out on her, usually leaving a few bruises and a busted lip. She could never divorce him though, something in her just kept taking it until he had found his own mistress and left Susan for her. She tried to give a sigh of relief, but it was delayed when he wanted the children too. Joseph won the custody battle (rumors circulated that he'd bribed the judge} and Susan was left all alone save the visits she got with them. 10 years of enduring pain had made her weak and in poor self esteem. 5 more had passed before she got the fateful call. Her children were found dead in the trunk of Joseph's car, locked in during a hot summer's day when trying to play hide-and-seek. She was devastated. The things that brought her the most joy in the world were now gone. When she got home from the funeral, she broke down and cried and cried... then the cries turned to laughter and a giant smile formed on her face.
She ran into her sewing area and began working on a costume, giggling with glee as each piece was stitched together. Once it was complete, she grinned widely. It was revealing.. sexy.. something Susan would never wear. But she wasn't Susan. She was a new woman. Pirouette.
Exploits and Activity
Powers and Abilities
- Regeneration: Pirouette has some sort of healing factor, though Susan does not share it. Perhaps the break also opened up her latent abilities?
- Extreme Acrobatics: Thanks to her gymnastics training as a young girl, Susan has become extremely flexible. This is further increased by Pirouette who, despite NO acrobatic experience, can easily outdo even the expert Olympic athletes.
Weaknesses
- Human: Despite her healing factor, she is still a human and if it's outmatched she'll easily fall.
- Insanity: As Pirouette, she's not quite right in the head. It can be thought of as a weakness and a strength, but her insanity does cost her at times.
Equipment
- Twin Desert Eagles: Nicknamed "Punch and Judy", Pirouette's Desert Eagles are modified to shoot a variety of illegal bullets, ranging from incendiary to freezing
- Thompson: "Tommy the Gunn" is her modified .45 cal Thompson submachine gun and is generally loaded with armor piercing rounds.
- Rocket Launcher: Designed to resemble a NERF Gun, her rocket launcher is Pirouette's favorite weapon of all.. capable of mass destruction in a single rocket.
- Gatling Gun: ...how she got a hold of this, no one knows. With the same NERF Paint job as her rocket launcher, her Gatling Gun looks harmless but packs an amazing punch with 600 bullets a minute.
- Gas Grenades/Pellets: Pirouette carries around pellets of multicolored gasses, most of which are poisonous and will kill humans without any filtering system. Other ones include sleeping gas, paralysis gas, laughing gas, and.... Draysha? Yep. She has a few Draysha ones.
Known Associates
- The Circus Freaks: Her babies are all dead, so she'd taken upon herself to have a new family.. too bad this one follows her commands not out of love, but fear of the consequences. The Circus Freaks, "Freaks" for short, are a gang started by Pirouette who are mainly made up of teenage orphans who needed a mother figure to look up to, though there's rumors some are also superpowered outcasts of society.
