I was part of a clown troupe whose gimmick was doing overblown court trials. We were called the Court Jesters.

"It's easy to overlook because he was a comedic actor, which we don't always associate with hotness. But look at any publicity still and you'll see, he was absolutely hot."

"What's a Zen?" he said.
The Fool's bells tinkled as he sorted through his cards. Without thinking, he said: "Oh, a sub-sect of the Turnwise Klatch philosophical system of Sumtin, noted for its simple austerity and the offer of personal tranquillity and wholeness achieved through meditation and breathing techniques; an interesting aspect is the asking of apparently nonsensical questions in order to widen the doors of perception."
"How's that again?" said the cook suspiciously. [...]
The Fool hesitated with a card in his hand, suppressed his panic and thought quickly.
"I'faith, nuncle," he squeaked, "thou't more full of questions than a martlebury is of mizzensails."
The cook relaxed.
Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters

I just made them to get their designs out of my brain but now they have lore (which is under the cut)
A handful of poses come from Mellon_Soup's amazing pose references
Marina is the lovely princess of a small little kingdom. The subjects of her kingdom expect their greatest royal Knight Edric to eventually ask Marina's hand in marriage and become the kingdoms next ruler
Little do they realize that Marina is in love with the Outcast witch Aria who lives at the edge of the kingdom (and that she often sneaks out at night to visit Aria and learn some magic herself)
While Edric has his eyes on the Court Jester, or more accurately, the court jester's imposter
As the real court jester eloped with a woman from a band of traveling minstrels. Leaving his sibling (Colette) to take his place in hopes of keeping up their position in the castle so that they can care for their sickly mother.
Edric is the only one to catch on to the Twins' little switcheroo and is delighted to have an excuse to get closer to Colette (often in the form of teasing and fake threatening to expose their secret)
Poor Colette often has to work twice as hard as they also have to uphold their position as a royal Hand Maiden to the princeas
