STATUS

The Lovers are high status. They are the sons and daughters of the old men characters with high social status. The Lovers' status rating is diminished, however, because of their infatuated states.

COSTUME

The Lovers are costumed in the latest fashion. Males sometimes dress up as soldiers, while the women show off the newest clothing (sometimes changing more than once during a show). Regardless, The Lovers are rich so they wear the most ornate and expensive styles.

MASK

The Lovers do not wear masks; instead, they wear makeup. Usually the foundation color is white with red lips painted on. The interpretations of what The Lovers' makeup is usually vary widely.

MOVEMENT

The Lovers stand firmly rooted, but light in the torso and head. They are whimpering fluffs of infatuation and their stance should convey their fragility. They take many breaths and seem like bubbles -- they could pop at any time. They wobble rather than walk, floating from side to side.

GESTURES

One hand usually holds a prop of some type, usually a letter one is swooning over or a handkerchief. Their arms are never in the same position; they are always primping to make sure that they look their best. The Lovers enjoy lamenting their situation and speaking pretentiously to each other about their love for one another. They are in love with themselves and their expressions of love that they spout. Contact is rarely made in the courting/wooing and so the ceaseless, foolish exchange continues unabated.

PLOT FUNCTION

Without The Lovers' problems, complications in the Cannovacci would not so readily occur.
