Widget Murray
Winston Aidan Murray and Penelope Aislin Murray, better known as Widget and Poppet, were born in Le Cirque des Rêves on opening night. Poppet can see the future, as the time and place of the siblings’ birth somehow endowed them with supernatural powers. Besides performing in the circus, the twins play a significant role in its survival. Poppet foresees the destruction of the central bonfire, as well as the intervention of a young boy who she later identifies as Bailey Clarke. The twins make sure that Bailey is at the circus so that when the bonfire goes out, he can fulfill his destiny and re-light it. Once Bailey has re-lit the bonfire and the circus is safe from destruction, Poppet and Widget go to see Mr. A.H. to get his permission to take over Le Cirque des Rêves. The twins are a new generation who, along with Bailey, will continue to bring life to the circus without the competition endangering everyone around them.
