When it's finally the morning , Giorno walks toward Pierrette's room. Even if he wanted her to leave as quickly as possible.. he asked the person who was cooking his meal to make a break fast for her too. He knocks at the door. "Miss Boulanger , break fast is ready , you should go to the living room.."

The clown girl was on the floor sleeping underneath the piles of pillows and blankets she move there the night before

Pierrette Asticot

Dramatic, Loves the Outdoors, Virtuoso, Athletic, Natural Born Performer

Pierrette Asticot's story is simple: Born into poverty in a distant land, her mother sold her to the circus as a baby. It's simple because she made it up. Pierrette was born in Paris to a middle-class family. She learned acting at the Cours Florent but left before graduation, branding it de rigueur. She fashioned herself as a mime and began performing in the street for tips. She frittered her meagre income on travelling from town to town, spinning a thread of anonymity to weave a web of lies that elevated her to the fringes of the circus scene.

Will feigning acrobatic skills launch her to new heights? Or will she ensnare herself in her deceit? ♫
