#6 – Lenore

| November 6, 2011 | 2 Comments

 

Birth name Jennifer Davis. Breaking from the troll universe for a bit, Lenore is the most popular act in the Deep Mountain Sideshow of the Mystic and Macabre. Her stage persona is a sorrowful gothic princess who lilts through the show, fleeting and beautiful, to dance on broken glass and razorblades, fall asleep on a bed of nails and ultimately fall to her death each night. In reality, she’s a smart, vain, confident woman addicted to the freedom the circus provides her. Lenore grew up in a stifling Mormon household that told her – in the gentlest, friendliest way possible – that sex was shameful and she was nothing without a man to define her. It was especially hard given a rebellious nature, sharp tongue and the knowledge that she was beautiful in a different way – a sort of beauty not praised in Provo. So instead of going to BYU, marrying at 19 and having three children, Lenore ran. And she never stopped.
