The tabloids recently unveiled her lavish, million-dollar wedding for her two Goldendoodles and snapped unflattering photos of her asleep on the beach in a mermaid costume with ketchup on her cheek from her half-eaten bucket of French fries. Her last viral video filmed by a fan was of an argument between her and Theodora Jones, another pop star, at a trendy restaurant in Beverly Hills.

Many park-goers have noticed how good of an actress she has become, and have encouraged her to use her talents for something bigger than a Spider City amusement park.

Harlequin has been spotted (and filmed) doing heroic acts lately, such as saving the innocent citizens of Spider City from the criminals lurking on the streets. Many influential people in town are starting to believe that Harlequin might just be a superhero - just like from the comic books. But Harlequin adamantly denies being a hero.

MITZI MINX

National Football League Cheerleader

Mitzi Minx is genuinely fun to be around because she was born for comedy. During the NFL off-season, she’s a knee-slapping amateur comedian. She's ready to put her pompoms away and become a professional standup, but she hasn’t mustered the courage.

Mitzi has been dealing a lot of hate online when she posts video clips of her comedy act. She started off taking her turn on the stage during amateur nights at the local comedy club, The Laugh Shack. She quickly became the crowd favorite, so the manager gave her a shot at opening for the famous comics who came to town. That is when the social media hate commenced. It does seem to be from one account, for the most part. Also, this troll appears to be a Spider City local. Mitzi wants nothing more than to find out the identity of this cyberbully.

Suggested attire (but feel free to wear whatever you wish): Cheerleader costume - you can pick the team you wish to be on - it doesn't matter. You can also make one up, if you wish, such as the Spider City Outlaws, or Spider City Vipers . Optional: bring some jokes with you to perform for others – why not?

 

DARK VADON

Movie Memorabilia Collector

Dark Vadon makes a living as a movie memorabilia collector and auctioneer. Dark is known for wearing head-to-toe movie costumes, and some find this behavior to be quite strange. Dark is very blunt and to the point, but most people find this off-putting.

Many people, especially the locals who go to the weekly auctions of movie and television memorabilia, believe that Dark might actually be a very famous celebrity who is living in Spider City anonymously. How else would someone have access to all this memorabilia? Well, it could be fake or bought on another online auction site, but the locals of Spider City love the mystery and intrigue involved with going to the Dark Auction House.

Darby works most days of the year and doesn't have time for socializing or self care. This is starting to show in Darby's attitude, as this traveling business owner has been very stressed lately. That's why Darby decided to take a break and attend the costume ball. Darby also has asked the staff of the mud run to attend - but Darby thankfully didn't make it mandatory. They need a break!  

Suggested attire (but feel free to wear whatever you wish): a Viking costume.

​Victoria has her hopes and dreams set on moving to Hollywood and making it as a singer/songwriter. She has written some songs and created a demo tape, but she hasn't had the nerve to send it to anyone yet. This is primarily because of some local haters who have said terrible things about her singing voice.

Suggested attire (but feel free to wear whatever you wish): Glamorous evening gown.

 

VIKING TOUGH RUN STAFF 

The hardworking staff of the Viking Tough Runs, 5-mile obstacle courses that challenge racers with mud, barbed wire, heights, and small spaces, are highly dedicated to their jobs and are a tight-knit group. Darby’s races are definitely not for the weak of heart.

Darby's staff are loyal and never miss work, which is fantastic for Darby.  But since this group only gets a handful of days off work per year, they are low on gas and  running out of steam. Nobody can sustain working that many days per year for too long! 

Suggested attire (but feel free to wear whatever you wish): a Viking costume.
