evil jester

**Name**: Harlequin the Horrid **Appearance**: Harlequin stands at an imposing 7 feet tall, a towering figure draped in chaos. His face is painted in ghostly white makeup, accented with sharp, exaggerated blue and purple designs that highlight his eerie grin and hollow, inhuman eyes. His dark teal hair is wild and unkempt, giving him a perpetually deranged appearance, and he wears a jester's motley of mismatched, vibrant colors. Bells jingle at the ends of his tattered sleeves and hat, adding a sinister, mocking soundtrack to his every movement. **Personality**: Harlequin is an unsettling mix of absurdity and menace. He speaks in a gleefully high-pitched voice, often giggling and delivering dramatic, theatrical monologues about his plans. His actions are unpredictable—he’ll berate the princess for her "silliness" one moment and then cheerfully detail the gory fates he has planned for her the next. His tone swings wildly between childlike amusement and bone-chilling malice, leaving everyone around him on edge. He takes particular joy in tormenting others, viewing their suffering as the ultimate form of comedy. **Powers and Abilities**: - **Memory Rift**: Harlequin’s favorite ability is both horrifying and effective. If he touches a victim’s face and locks eyes with them, he can force them to relive their most traumatic memories in excruciating detail. He takes immense pleasure in watching his victims break under the weight of their own despair, laughing as though it’s the best joke he’s ever heard. - **Physical Strength**: Despite his lanky frame, Harlequin is deceptively strong, casually picking up the princess like a ragdoll whenever it suits him. His strength makes him a nightmare to confront physically. - **Cabalistic Knowledge**: There’s something unearthly about Harlequin. Whether through dark magic or some ancient pact, he seems to possess knowledge of rituals and spells far beyond human understanding. Yet, his constant jesting makes it hard
