Dagger's a flamboyant, dramatic, and energetic individual who's almost constantly smiling. He seems to have a great love - bordering on obsession - for Beast, whom he always refers to as "Sis" or "Big Sis." He's always willing to express his feelings for her, frequently serenading her or offering her gifts. When Sebastian ended up too close to her by touching her leg, he was very upset because he hadn't touched her yet. He continues these acts, even when Beast is not around and despite no indication of interest from her. Dagger is amicable and demonstrates goodwill. He very much enjoys the company of others, as shown when he encourages Ciel and Sebastian to make new friends, too. When he doesn't understand what people are saying, he tends to assume they're joking. Seldom serious, he doesn't favor somber atmospheres and is quick to make jokes to disperse the tension. Even while dying, he's shown smiling. Dagger, who originates from the East End, speaks in Cockney English.Dagger grew up in an alley in the East End, referred to as a gutter, with the other first-string circus members (minus Snake). Joker stated that they came together because they were each defective in a way. In Dagger's case, he's been missing his right leg since birth. Ten years ago, Doll rushed up to Joker one day with a tooth in her hand. She gleefully exclaimed that it fell out and promised she'd buy them all bread later, believing that she'd later get a coin from the Tooth Fairy. However, she was oblivious to the fact that it didn't actually exist. Dagger, Joker, Beast, Peter, Wendy, and Jumbo then proceeded to work on manual chores earnestly all night long in order to earn a single coin for Doll. They were relieved to see they made it on time as they placed it beside her whilst she was sleeping. The next morning, an oblivious Doll showed off her coin to them, stating how happy she was that they could eat bread with it and an exhausted but happy Dagger smiled along with her. However, in the belief that the Tooth Fairy would give her more coins, Doll later attempted to take out more teeth that weren't wobbly, to the dismay of the others. As thieves, they were unsuccessful and they barely managed to survive. At some point, Baron Kelvin found them in the alley and adopted them. At his manor, a sulking Dagger sat beside Beast on a bench, observing as the other children played. Seeing this, Joker called Jumbo over. Jumbo invited Dagger to climb onto his back, and then he carried Dagger to the other children so he could play with them. After living at Kelvin's manor for some time, they decided to start a circus, and Joker gave him the stage name "Dagger," which he initially wasn't excited about. His real name is unknown.BeastThe audience roared in applause as Beast finished up her act with Betty. The act that she could tame a tiger was truly magnificent, but you weren’t focused on that. Instead, you felt yourself becoming more and more jealous as you watched her. Her thighs were proportionate with her body, falling in beautiful curves and skin an olive color, while her tummy was flat and her bust large. Her lips were vibrant and classic, her hair falling in perfect curls and eyes that struck you as something out of a dream. You weren’t thinking these things out of love, but more of jealousy. As much you appreciated Beast and her friendship, at times you felt that Dagger did deserve someone like her. Someone as pretty and extraordinary as her, right? After all, he did give up on trying to get her to like him and settled for you. When he first confessed, you were shocked but happy, but over time, your happiness shifted into that of guilt. You felt as though you were keeping him from his happiness. After all, maybe Beast could be harboring feelings for him this whole time and the two of them didn’t even know. Maybe she was keeping it a secret since you were his significant other, you weren’t sure. Your imagination wandered more and more as you stared at the girl you deemed worthy for Dagger before two arms snaked around your waist, shuffling you closer as a head nuzzled into the crook of your neck.“Hey, blondie,” you murmured, your tone sounding nothing less than exasperated, “How you doin’?”“Doin’ mighty fine, suga’, s’pecially since I gotta ‘uch a cute broad with me.” As he murmured that statement into your ear, you found yourself frowning before quickly changing the subject.“Isn’t she just amazing?” you urged Dagger, eyeing the dark-haired female that he once proclaimed love to, trying to get him to agree with you so once and for all you knew that he deserved and longed for someone much better than you.“She sure is somethin’,” sighed the blonde, toying with his tinged streak of navy, “But not somethin’ I want. I got me you and that’s all I’ll ever need.”You gently nudged him off of you at that statement, your brows furrowed, perplexed by the statement. You were slightly agitated he didn’t just do you a favor and tell you the truth.Noticing your change in behavior, he gently began to rub circles into your shoulder with the tips of his fingers; all in an attempt to soothe the internal conflict you were going through. “Did I say somethin’ wrong, Y/N?”He was just so darn sweet, wasn’t he? Constantly worrying if he was managing to please you, when you should be focused on pleasing him. You were to your wits' end with him most of the time only because of how perfect he could be. He had remarkable beauty and talent, and you couldn’t help but feel he deserved someone who matched that.“No, no, it’s not you. It’s not you at all,” you started. “Something has been on my mind lately though, I need to get it off my chest. I’ve been thinking, and… maybe we’re not right for each other-”“What?!” Melodrama ensued instantly from in, tears already beginning to form.“No, Dagger, wait until I-”“No, Y/N! No! I love you more than anything! Please, I-I’ll try to be a better boyfriend! I’m sorry for not treating you as good as you shoul–”“Dammit, Dagger, will you just listen to me? It has nothing to do with you. I just think you deserve someone who’s good enough for you. Much prettier, and smarter, and actually, y’know, talented. That would be for the best.”Dagger’s stunned by your words, but perplexed at the same time. He turns from your gaze before tears roll down his cheeks and he stares at the ground for a long time before knowing he'd gathered everything he wanted to say. He felt like the guilty one now, knowing that his partner felt that way all this time and he hadn’t done enough to convince them otherwise.“Y/N, now I see why ya been mentionin’ Beast so much lately, I been thinking you were ready to leave me for ‘er. This makes a lot more sense. You’re hardly ever wrong, but this time you’re the farthest from the truth. I’ve never had anythin’ to call my own, or anyone who wanted to call me their own. But ever since I met you, and you made me feel wanted and I wanted you so very badly, I knew that I could never lose that feelin’ again, you hear me? I’m not going to lose it, and I won’t lose you. I don’t want anyone else. I just want you.” HAIR COLOR
