Background

Elsa Mars is a German expatriate with a past shrouded in mystery. She is collector and caregiver of freaks, often finding them in orphanages, asylums, hospitals, or jail. Even though her true intentions for giving her freaks a home might be more self-centered than expected, she is still the leader of the troupe and receives the utmost respect. However, due to the rise of television and radio, the entertainment once provided by Freak Shows is being received elsewhere. Despite this, Elsa is determined to persuade the people of the sleepy hamlet known as Jupiter to buy a ticket to her Freak Show.

Personality and Appearance

Elsa is a woman with a very astute fashion sense. It's not rare to see the leader of the freaks adorned in feathers or fur, and it's likely that these flashy clothing choices are inspired by her Hollywood idols of the era. Still, Elsa's outfits have undertones of a professional, sending the message that she's a powerful force to be reckoned with. Even in casual and sleepwear she is dressed in the most lavish fabric, generally silk. And when she's out on the town she's never caught dead without her large personalized purse engraved with the Freak Show logo. When it comes to her golden locks, she sticks to a classic, tight-curled hairdo fitting of the time period. She often wears light make-up, unless she is performing of course. Elsa's outfits on stage are that of completely different variety. They communicate her desire to be a true a performer.

In terms of personality, Elsa's is certainly one of a large capacity. The German ex-pat is probably best known for her ambition and cleverness. However, often times she works in her own self interest, meaning her cleverness can begin to tread into waters of manipulation. Yet, despite these flaws, Elsa's overall personality is one of class and kindness. She seems to truly care for her freaks and their well-being. As long as they stay out of her spotlight, that is.
