(MAJOR CHARACTER)

Behold! Princeton Percival has arrived. He is described to be charismatic, dreamy, and humble. This was all described by the golden perfume bottle himself, so he might be a little biased! Princeton is the star male actor at the Theatre of Wonder, and prides himself on it greatly, seeing his acts as a charity service. His ego is… definitely here, and he doesn’t even remember half the figurines makes because he’s too busy having a two hour polish session before his next play. Princeton knows the stage and the stage alone - though he certainly seems to find himself in Arian’s eye line whenever he possibly can be.
