Charivari 1

The leader of their troupe, Trickster's first creation after the musicians, never used his status for bragging rights. From the outside, he looked like a simple dancer and pusher, forming the base in their human pyramids, and no one in the audience would have picked him out of the crowd. But he was the one all the younger charivari went to for coaching, and he oversaw much more of the action than was apparent. Even the aloof trapeze artist and the crazy clowns always gave him a nod of respect.

A/N: Let's get this straight, first of all: I call them 'charivari,' but since I'm referring to the house troupe which performs teeterboard as well, I'm going to include some teeterboard terminology in these as well. So let me give you some definitions to avoid confusion. According to Wikipedia, a teeterboard troupe consists of flyers, pushers, catchers, and spotters.

Flyer: One who flies. The people who actually get shot up in the air.

Pusher: One who pushes. Those who launch the flyers into the air by jumping on the other end of the teeterboard.

Catcher: One who catches. The people holding the big mattresses, I believe.

Spotter: ...I don't actually know, what would your guess be? XD (Honestly, I'm not sure how these differ from catchers. I'm sure there is a difference, though.)
