History Webcomic / CirqueRoyale

* ResignInProtest: All the other performers of the circus quit after Quinn took over as queen, calling her traitorous (for leaving fifteen years ago) and insulting her children and Kingston as half-breed mimes in their resignation letter. The current circus performers outside of the royal family all used to be part of the FreakShow -- except Ron, but he was regulated there after Leo took his place as the "oldest strongman".

** Among Kingston's many tattoos, the ones near his right wrist of five elephants represent his family, and his back one is of the Mimopolis skyline, which is where he grew up, as well as one in memory of his pet rabbit. (The octopus is just because he thought it was cool). He also was in the FreakShow as a tattooed harlequin.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Fred, who uses a prosthetic leg, runs into Quinn's lion Samson -- who is a troublemaker who really only listens to her -- and decides to play a trick on a SickeninglySweethearts couple by pretending Samson is eating him. When he then asks Samson for his prosthetic leg back, [[https://www.cirqueroyalecomic.com/comic/the-kings-monster-pt-30/ Samson immediately runs off]] leaving him without it, and Fred [[LampshadeHanging sarcastically laments]] that he's just full of great ideas today.

* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Will and Fred have three major differences: their hairstyles (Will has a front bang swoop like their mother Louise, while Fred does not), that Fred wears glasses, and that Fred has a fully amputated right leg and uses a prosthetic [[spoiler:because when the two were born as ConjoinedTwins, they only had three legs, and in being separated Fred only got one of them]]. As children they looked a lot alike before Will got glasses since they were HalfIdenticalTwins.

* PatchworkKids: The three Klownikov children have lavender skin, bluish eyes, and fangs (except Red) from their mime genes and red noses and red hair from their clown genes. (It's been shown in flash fowards that Claudette and Charlie's hair will likely get darker as they get older.) Kingston is also like this; he has the black hair, purple skin, sharp teeth, and blue eyes of his mime mother, but the red nose and curly hair (and bushy eyebrows, a Klownikov family trait) from his clown father.

** Both Quinn and Claudette tug on their hair as an autistic stim when stressed.

* AbsurdlyYouthfulParents: Quinn was 20 and Kingston was 19 when their oldest children, the twins Claudette and Charles, were born.

* CallingParentsByTheirName: Enforced by Aries. His children Diana and Leo aren't allowed to call him Dad or Father and must call him "Mr. Cashworthy."
* CallForward: The Unicorn Princess, Valeria [=MajestyMoon=], is seen in a tween magazine ''Princess Beat'' just below Claudette where she's mentioned as a Princess to Watch in "No New Friends." She doesn't debut properly until "Loud Mouth," and doesn't have a full part until "Date Night."
