Description
The Jester is a tawny skinned human with black eyes, a smug grin with a tooth gap between their front teeth, dark eyebrows, and short blonde hair in a bob cut. They wear a classic jester’s hat with two maroon sections and one orange section, each tipped with a yellow bell. They have an orange shirt that splits in two at the bottom with maroon buttons and triangular shoulderpads, a white collar, white puffy sleeves which are tucked into yellow gloves.
As the announcer, Jester is only seen from the waist up.
They are deceptively upbeat and bright, always smiling and making jokes. They have a big flair for the dramatic and are very engaging. They encourage the contestants often, faith never seeming to waver. At least, until they fight on the battlefield.

“Congratulations! That was a magnificent victory!”
”You've earned another go at winning your freedom AND your heart's desire!”
”Leeeeeeet's...”
”SPIN. SPIN. SPIN. SPIN. SPIN...”
(Wheel spins)
”Ohhhh, bad luck!”
”But don't worry - there are plenty more chances to spin where that came from!”
“Another magnificent win!”
”Now, let's wait for THE WHEEL to do its thing...”
(Wheel spins)
”Oh dear.”
”Looks like THE WHEEL is against you today.”
”But never mind, maybe next time!”
“Congratulations! You're on fire!”
”Not literally, of course -- we don't want to step on the Fireman's toes.”
”Anyway, let's have another spin of THE WHEEL!...”
(Wheel spins)
”Ah, bad luck.”
”But it looks like you've won a set of lightly used picnic cutlery as a consolation prize!”
“Amazing! Astounding!”
”Now let's see what THE WHEEL has to say...”
(Wheel spins)
”Ah. It doesn't look like you're getting everything you've ever wanted yet.”
”But maybe next time?”
”And for now you can have this... fax machine!”
“And it's time for another visit to the victory stage!”
”Let's all hold our breath and think about all the things you could do with your heart's desire if you win...”
(Wheel spins)
”Ah, not this time, but we'll see you soon for another episode and another chance!”
“The wheel's been against you before, but that can't last for ever!”
”Let's mutter GO GO GO under our breath while we watch the wheel spin...”
(Wheel spins)
”Ah, another highly unlikely spin of the wheel there, but maybe next time!”
“Surely probability DEMANDS that you'll triumph this time!”
”No, don't do the maths, come on, focus on the wheel...”
(Wheel spins)
”Oooh, looks like no.”
”But surely that means that next time you're BOUND to win...”
“Time for another spin of the wheel!”
”Concentrate REALLY HARD on your heart's desire...”
”...the thing you want more than anything else in the world...”
(Wheel spins)
”Well, looks like you're not going to fulfill all your hopes and dreams THIS time...”
”...but we'll see you soon for another episode!”
“This has been fun, but I know what you're really here for:”
”That amazing prize that you're SURELY going to win this time!”
”SPIN THE WHEEL! SPIN THE WHEEL!”
(Wheel spins)
”...oh, BAD luck, friend.”
”But don't give up!”
”I believe in you!”
“Are you having a nice time in the Dungeons?”
”We're just LOVING having you here!”
”Although of course what you really want is to get your prize and get out, so let's SPIN THE WHEEL...”
(Wheel spins)
”Ah, such a shame!”
”But if you stick with it, you're bound to win eventually!”
“You've been doing SO well!”
”Adapting to all the new rules, fighting all of Lady Luck's minions.”
”Will it finally pay off?”
(Wheel spins)
”Oh no, bad luck - wait no...”
”...the wheel's still spinning, give it a moment...”
”RIGHT. Yes. Bad luck!”
“Welcome back to the Victory Stage!”
”You know the drill - let's give it a spin and see if you win!”
(Wheel spins)
”Another near miss - but I admire your optimism.”
”That's right! Stick with it! Never give up!”
“Well, here we are again!”
”Let's try the exact same thing we've been doing for ages...”
”...and see if the results are different this time!”
(Wheel spins)
”Oooof, no, sorry.”
”But maybe if you try it another five or ten times...”
“You're really sticking with this, aren't you?”
”Not tempted to give up on your dreams?”
”Okay, then let's spin the wheel!”
”Who knows what's going to happen now, it could be literally anything!”
(Wheel spins)
”And it's ANOTHER IMPLAUSIBLE LOSS, I'm so sorry!”
“SPIN! SPIN! SPIN! SPIN!”
”WIN! WIN! WIN...”
(Wheel spins)
”Oh, not this time though, bad luck!”
“We're rooting for you, so let's SPIN THE WHEEL!”
(Wheel spins)
”...ah, sad times, but it's so brave of you to keep trying.”
”So let's have another episode!”
If the player is Bear:
”What a victory!”
”And may I say, you're looking extremely dapper there.”
”Now, shall I spin the wheel?”
(Wheel spins)
”Ah, bad luck!”
”Now, let's get you through into the costume department and have someone pluck all those hairs out.”
