Left alone to die, RIgjig was instead picked up by a wandering circus troupe, where he was raised by clowns. He as a result has a deep love for the circus, which raised him and trained him in the art of taming beasts.
Rigjig stands around 3 and a half feet tall, and is quite stocky, though it can be hard to tell when they are in costume. Their hair is long but pulled out of their face by braids, and their beard runs behind their back, keeping hair out of the way of their hands. They are most recognizable at work, in jester costume and makeup. They otherwise wear rather plain clothes, though they may don the coat and head of a tiger as a cape. This tiger is rumored to be one they wrangled himself and took down, keeping the coat as a trophy--but this is unconfirmed.
She is fun on the stage, and ups the stakes as much as possible. Her animals seem often to be just a step from injuring her, though they somehow manage to avoid doing so every time. Her acts range from daring to comedy, the former being her own creations and the latter being inspired by and homage to her clown family. Shows that leave the audience breathless are her pride any joy.
In Mythrite, he has yet to build as much of an audience as he is used to. He holds shows, but gains less attention due to lack of equipment and room limiting the acts he can perform. Someday, he'd like to have the money to run a larger show, possibly with more actors, not because he desires the fame or attention, but because he hopes it will attract the attention of any of his old troupe members, who left him behind long ago. He does it for his friends as well, because he hopes a larger establishment can contribute to an increase in their prosperity.
Rigjig can also be quite sarcastic and cruel, depending on who they are talking to. Their friends would never guess, but in their rarer encounters with Mythrite's upper class, Rigjig has been known to run their mouth and earn themself hostility. It's something that gets in the way of their ability to build their business, but they are too stubborn and angry to stop. Traveling with a circus troupe, Rigjig never was given the chance to really interact with a single location's economy. They spent much of the time after their troupe living on their own in the woods, only stumbling upon Mythrite by chance. Unlike many, they were not raised into a world where the rich thrive and the poor suffer; they were blind to this fact. Realization of it has made them bitter, and contrast of it with the function of their own circus troupe has made them angry.
History
Rigjig and Selussa connected rather recently for two people who aren't quite new to the scene of Mythrite, just a few months ago. Happening to find Selussa performing in a bar, Rigjig approached them after and invited them to her home. She performed a small show for them there, and Selussa was delighted. They now share tips and tricks of the trade, and are anticipating eventually sharing a show. Rigjig wants Selussa to have the opportunity to gain the fortune and treasures they desire, and thinks having them by her side will give them that opportunity, while also giving the money she earns from her desired fame a good home.

Towards Lutegarde Whitfoot
Rival (hostile) (Trivial)
History
Rigjig and Lutegarde met early in Mythrite's devlopment. They weren't besties, but on occassion shared a few drinks, so Rigjig was aware of Lutegarde's position. As Lutegarde gained status, Rigjig approached her a few times to talk about whether she would be able to extend help to some of those in a less advantageous position. However, Lutegarde dismissed him, and as time passed refused to see him at all. Rigjig sees Lutegarde as a traitor, plain and simple.
