Drystan

Drystan is a white-faced clown and one of the most important supporting characters in Laura Lam's Pantomime series. He becomes Micah Grey's first true confidant within the circus, offering friendship and understanding at a time when Micah desperately needs both. Behind his painted face and comic performance, Drystan hides a complicated past and genuine depth of feeling that make him far more than the sad clown archetype he superficially resembles.

His relationship with Micah is one of the series' emotional cores — a friendship that develops into something deeper as both characters reveal their true selves beneath the masks they wear for the world. Drystan's own secrets and his willingness to protect Micah at personal cost establish him as one of the most memorable characters in the series.
