HELOISE AUCOIN

Marathon Runner
Heloise Aucoin is an ultra-energetic marathon runner from California. Chronically homesick for Cajun culture, she treks across the country to her hometown of New Orleans for Mardi Gras every year. Because of her aggressive mannerisms, most of her childhood friends and family can only take being around her in small doses.

Rumor has it that Heloise might be in a bit of a financial bind. The townsfolk have traded stories about her owing money to various people. Why would she be in debt to so many folks? Nevertheless, she found the money to pay for an expensive ticket to the Mardi Gras party at Fat Tuesday's Pub. 
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS:  Athletic attire. An optional number is taped to the back of the shirt/jacket.

​

BOBBIE BAYOU

Gator Wrestler, Bayou Beast Adventures

Bobbie Bayou is a fearless gator wrestler straight outta Houma, Louisiana, where the swamps are home and adventure is always around the corner. With a grip stronger than a hurricane wind, Bobbie’s been wrangling gators since they could crawl.  When not risking life and limb in the bayou, Bobbie entertains the locals with tall tales, Cajun cooking, and a laugh so loud it could scare off a bullfrog.

Bobbie also has the dubious honor of being the semi-estranged cousin of Zenobia LeBlanc. Bobbie embraces the family connection—Zenobia, not so much. But no matter how much Zenobia tries to shake it, Bobbie’s as stubborn as a gator in a death roll when it comes to keeping those family ties intact.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Tattered jeans or overalls, a sleeveless plaid shirt, worn out trucker hat, and muddy boots. Gators as accessories.

 

VIVI 'GLITZY' LEROUX 

Mardi Gras Mask Artisan, Royal Street Mask Shop

Vivi is the life of the party, selling dazzling, handcrafted masks from her shop on Royal Street. Known for her bold personality and over-the-top wardrobe, Vivi always insists her masks bring "mystical powers"—whether anyone believes her or not. She’s notorious for spicing up conversations with wild stories about curses and fortunes tied to her creations. Beneath her glittery exterior, Vivi is fiercely competitive and doesn’t take kindly to copycats infringing on her craft.

Vivi has been very busy lately crafting a custom order for 25 white and silver masks. She spared no expense to create the masks for this order, and many people are anxiously awaiting the unveiling!

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Wear a dazzling, over-the-top outfit - sequins, feathers, beads, with plenty of accessories. An optional prop is a Mardi Gras mask - from your shop, of course. 

 

LYLE CRAWDADDY

Crawfish Biol Master

Lyle’s mobile crawfish stand is a Bourbon Street favorite, drawing crowds with his spicy seafood and laid-back Cajun charm. He claims to have the best crawfish in Louisiana and will argue with anyone who says otherwise—usually over a beer or two! Lyle’s infectious laugh and larger-than-life personality make him a local legend, but his competitive streak runs deep. He’s been known to hold grudges against anyone who dares outshine his culinary skills.

Lyle's stand was about 70% busier about 3 years ago, but lately, he's been struggling to make ends meet.  But there's no doubt that Lyle has the best crawfish-to-go in the French Quarter. 

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: A checkered flannel or sleeveless shirt, jeans or overalls, and muddy boots. Add a crawfish boil apron and accessorize with a toy pot or fake crawfish.

​

ROBBIE PATTERSON & HIS ENTOURAGE
Hollywood Movie Star
This triple A-lister shot to fame with the wildly popular vampire movie series Dawn, but it is his recent action-adventure blockbusters that cemented his place at the top of Hollywood. Robbie has left his vampire days behind, trading brooding stares for explosive stunts and daring heroics. However, his off-screen life hasn’t been as smooth, with scandals still trailing in his wake. Known for his blunt honesty and tactless remarks, socializing with this Hollywood heavyweight is always a risky adventure of its own!

Robbie might’ve climbed to Hollywood’s A-list after his vampy heartthrob days, but lately? Yikes. He’s been headlining some serious flops—Sharkcano: Lava Bites, Mega Scorpion vs. Robo Gator, and Bulletproof Santa: North Pole Takeover (seriously, what was he thinking?). If someone in the Patterson Posse doesn’t step in soon, Robbie’s next big role might just be Washed-Up Action Star #3.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Wear trendy ‘Hollywood’-style attire. An optional prop is a Sharpie marker for signing autographs. The entourage can wear all-black suits.

​

FARMA CELADIE & HER ASSISTANTS
Pharmacist, French Quarter Remedies & Tonics
Farma Celadie is a neurotic pharmacist with a quirky habit of singing her words instead of speaking them. She is a stressed-out workaholic who rarely steps outside the pharmacy, as she’s buried in prescriptions and chaos. Concerned about her lack of a social life, her pharmacy staff pooled their funds to buy her a ticket to Fat Tuesday’s Pub Mardi Gras party—and they refused to take no for an answer! Farma will be there, whether she likes it or not, belting out her conversations all night long!

Farma won’t admit it, but she’s thrilled about the Mardi Gras party. Lately, she’s been more wound up than a pharmacy receipt, and her mood’s taken a nosedive. But the second she heard whispers of celebs making an appearance at The Fat Tuesday's Pub for Mardi Gras? Boom—instant attitude adjustment.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Lab coat with a name tag of French Quarter Remedies & Tonics (optional).

​

MARY A. FELO & HER BRIDAL PARTY
Bridezilla
If you don’t mind being judged, Mary A. Felo is the friend you want around. Mary is one of the town's most prominent socialites, outspoken, opinionated, and proudly rocking the title of Bridezilla. True to form, she scheduled her wedding for the same day as the Fat Tuesday’s Pub Mardi Gras party, planning to hijack the bash as her wedding reception. Her friends warned her it’s a terrible idea—but Mary doesn’t take advice from anyone!

Word on the street is that Mary might have blown past her wedding budget and is scrambling to cover her tracks. Could hijacking this Mardi Gras party be her genius plan for a free wedding reception? And let’s not forget—her parents own Nola Prints, the very shop that printed the tickets for Fat Tuesday’s Pub bash. Coincidence? Maybe. But it sure makes you wonder if Mary’s been planning this takeover from the start!
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: The bride should wear a bridal gown( or white clothing and a veil of any kind). The wedding party can wear any formal attire,  but it’s best if they color-coordinate.

​

SELA FUDE & THE BOURBON STREET VENDORS
Cotton Candy Bourbon Street Vendor
Sela Fude, the French Quarter’s cotton candy queen, is as sharp as they come with her sky-high IQ and creative flair. Known for her determination, Sela always gets what she wants, though she’s famously resistant to change. Despite her quirks, she’s a beloved member of the French Quarter’s tight-knit community of Bourbon Street merchants who stick together like sugar on spun candy!

Sela’s known for her sharp tongue and sharper business sense, but lately, she’s been extra fired up. Word is, a local has been bad-mouthing street vendors, Sela and her colleagues aren’t having it. If someone has a problem with street food, that attitude best be taken elsewhere or risk getting served more than just a dish of karma.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Any style of work uniform, e.g., waitress attire or fast food attire. Cotton candy can be an optional prop. The other vendors can also have optional props for the items they sell.

​

​JEAN-BAPTISTE DOUCET
High School Football Referee
Jean-Baptiste Doucet is an infamous high school referee in good old New Orleans. He has made more than his share of enemies on the field and in the stands. It’s no secret that Jean-Baptiste is half-blind, deaf, and easily distracted. Why this man chose to be a referee—nobody will ever know!

Lately, though, Jean-Baptiste has been wound tighter than a tambourine in a brass band. Rumor has it that someone’s been compiling a highlight reel of every bad call he’s made over the past year. If that footage lands on the athletic director’s desk, his referee career could be toast. But let’s be honest—there are plenty of folks in town who’d throw a party if they saw him blow his final whistle.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS:  Wear a referee uniform. Use an optional whistle as a prop. Thick, ‘coke-bottle’ glasses and a hearing aid are fake optional accessories.

​

ACADIA LAFLEUR
High School Cheerleading Coach
Acadia La Fleur is the spunky high school cheerleading coach.  With a voice that carries over two blocks away, she cannot sneak up on anybody!  Acadia is an ultra-feminine drama queen, so get some tissues ready for this emotional diva!

Some folks say Acadia’s cheer squad is more about chasing clout than chanting cheers—wannabe influencers, not athletes. They’ve yet to win a competition, and let’s be real, their school spirit could use a serious pep talk. Their pep rallies? Certified snooze fests. The only thing they’re hyping is their follower count. Acadia swears they’re just ahead of the curve…but at this rate, they might be better off live-streaming their next loss.

Lately, though, she’s been acting a little offbeat—a little too interested in self-defense classes, ninja techniques, and suspiciously watching people’s movements. Some say she’s just trying to add “stealth” to her repertoire, but others think she might have gotten herself into some serious trouble.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Warm up suit. Optional whistle as a prop.

​

JACQUES BERGERON
S.W.A.T. Team, New Orleans Police Department
Jacques Bergeron was recently promoted to the New Orleans S.W.A.T. team and is taking his new position quite seriously.  He trusts nobody and believes chaos will ensue at any moment, and he is more than ready for it. Jacques needs to learn to relax!

He is as straightlaced as they come—the kind of guy who follows the rulebook like it’s the holy grail. He’s all about duty, justice, and keeping things in order…which is exactly why some folks don’t trust him. After all, it’s always the ones who seem the most genuine that end up being the real masterminds.

One thing’s for sure—Jacques is always prepared. Whether it’s handcuffs, first aid, or a forensic kit, if you need it, he’s got it within arm’s reach. The guy’s practically a walking evidence locker. Some say it’s just good training. Others say it’s a little too convenient.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Police/SWAT uniform. Toy gun(s) are optional props.

​

CLOVIS CHATELAIN

Bourbon Street Jazz Musician
Clovis Chatelain is a friendly jazz musician. A lover of music and people, he hits Bourbon Street at 5 AM to entertain the early risers! The gossip mill has it that he’s hiding a sordid past and has fabricated a story about it. Either way, he’s a talented performer.

Nobody knows much about Clovis Chatelain before he showed up on Bourbon Street with his trumpet and a suitcase a few years back. Ask him where he’s from, and he’ll give you a different answer every time. Chicago, Austin, maybe even Paris? Who knows. He plays it off like a joke, but the way he always watches his back says otherwise.

Clovis keeps to himself, never gets too close to anyone, and flat-out refuses to talk about his past. Some say he’s just a mysterious artist, but others think he’s hiding something bigger. A shady past? A name that ain’t his? Whatever it is, Clovis isn’t spilling.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Casual but trendy attire. Optional jazz instrument (real or fake) as a prop.

​

OPHELIA BOURQUE
Professional Bowler
Ophelia Bourque is a professional bowler who lives her life as though it’s the 1950s. From her conservative attire to the golden oldies slang she spews, she’s set in her ways. Ophelia is constantly celebrating and gets excited at the hint of good news. She also loves to dance if she hears music, so get ready to cut a rug with her if you’re within arms' reach!

Ophelia Bourque’s bowling team is no joke—they travel, they compete, and they win. They’ve had the same sponsor for a decade, but rumor has it, that deal might be rolling into the gutter. If the sponsor pulls out, Ophelia’s in trouble—she doesn’t exactly have a rainy-day fund for travel expenses.

If that happens, she might have to do something unthinkable… like find a real job. And let’s be honest, the only thing Ophelia’s ever clocked in for is perfecting her spin.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: 1950s attire and a 1950s-style bowling outfit. Hair styled in a 1950s up-do.

​

BERTRAND BUJEAU
Martial Artist, Bourbon Street Dojo
Tons of young people from around the city travel to the Bourbon Street Dojo to take martial arts lessons from the modern-day ninja Sensei Bertrand Bujeau. From a mixed Japanese and Cajun heritage, Bertrand is all about culture! He’s quiet in social gatherings and prefers to stand back in the shadows, as his extensive martial arts training makes him highly sensitive to his surroundings.

He's a man of few words but infinite wisdom. Raised with a mix of Cajun grit and Japanese tradition, Sensei Bujeau believes that martial arts isn’t just about fighting techniques—it’s a way of life. His training is as much about mental fortitude and self-discipline as it is about perfecting a roundhouse kick. He preaches inner peace just as passionately as he teaches self-defense, drilling into his students that true strength comes from knowing when not to fight.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Martial artist costume.

​

BEAUREGARD FAUCHE
Opera Singer, New Orleans Opera House
The egotistical Beauregard Fauche is the star opera singer at the New Orleans Opera House, and if you don’t already know that, don’t worry—he’ll tell you. Beauregard thrives on admiration, often launching into long-winded tales of his vocal prowess and past performances, whether anyone asks or not. He never misses an opportunity to admire his own reflection, whether it's in a grand mirror, a car window, or a particularly polished soup spoon.

But despite his flamboyant bravado, Beauregard is extremely protective of his spotlight. He actively discourages locals from auditioning for roles at the opera house, believing that if just anyone could land a part, it would somehow diminish his own talent. If you ask him for advice on breaking into the industry, he'll chuckle and say something dismissive—because as far as Beauregard is concerned, there's only room for one star in this town.

However, if you look beyond his vanity and theatrics, you’ll see glimpses of a genuinely caring person buried under all the self-promotion. It just takes a bit of patience—and maybe some exaggerated flattery—to get there.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Black and white tuxedo (or suit) or a traditional Opera stage costume.

​

MAGNOLIA THIBODEAUX
Hostess, Café Beignet 

If you dine at Café Beignet during Magnolia Thibodeaux’s shift, you’d better clear your schedule—because Magnolia doesn’t believe in rushing. She moves at her own leisurely pace, and if that means your beignets arrive when the powdered sugar has already settled like dust on the counter, so be it.

She openly dislikes her job—not because it’s hard, but because she’d much rather be surrounded by animals than people. Magnolia has zero patience for small talk, customer service, or anything remotely resembling effort. The only thing that doesn’t move at a snail’s pace around Magnolia? The speed at which she spreads gossip. If a co-worker confides in her, their secret is practically public record by the time they finish their shift. She has no conscience about it, either—she finds it entertaining.

Adding to the mix, Magnolia has a fraternal twin brother who attends Smarvard University (which she pretends not to care about but definitely does). She also happens to be Leon Naquin’s niece, but she doesn’t exactly advertise that fact—probably because she never liked him that much anyway.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Casual hostess/waitress attire.

​

ALPHONSE DUGAS
Blackjack Dealer, Harrold’s Casino

Alphonse Dugas is the lively blackjack dealer from Harrold’s Casino in New Orleans, but don’t let that charm fool you—only half of what he says is actually true. The guy even lies when the truth would sound better! His closest friends grumble that he cheats at board games, so just imagine what he might be pulling at the casino tables.

To make matters worse, Alphonse tells everyone about his serious gambling problem, and that his debts to some very dangerous bookies are stacking up. Maybe that’s why he’s never seen without his “buddies” from the casino? 

And now, the pit bosses are on high alert. Word on Bourbon Street is that someone tipped them off about Alphonse rigging blackjack games to squeeze out extra profits and keep himself at the high-roller tables. If they find proof, Alphonse could lose everything—including the cushy setup that lets him fund his own bad habits. But if there’s one thing he knows how to do, it’s bluff his way out of trouble—or at least try.
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Shirt and tie with a dealer visor. Optional name tag as a prop.

​

BELLE ARCENEAUX & HER FRIENDS
Housewife and Nosy Neighbor

Belle Arceneaux is the catty housewife who keeps the French Quarter buzzing with gossip. If there’s drama, Belle is at the center of it—or at least spreading it faster than a Bourbon Street bartender pours drinks.

The saying “keep your enemies close” explains why Belle is never without her loyal flock of “friends.” They know the deal—as long as they stick by her side, they won’t be the next target of her sharp tongue. Belle has a talent for stirring the pot just enough to keep things interesting, but never enough to get her hands dirty.

With her ear to the ground and a treasure chest of secrets, Belle’s got the dirt on everyone worth knowing. Just don’t cross her—or you might wake up to find yourself the latest scandal on  Bourbon Street.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: A house dress/robe, rollers in hair (optional but funny), and a notepad as an optional prop.

​

STEVE SPANIOLO & THE LAMBS FOOTBALL TEAM
NFL Coach of the Lambs

Steve Spaniolo, the loudmouthed NFL Coach of the Lambs Football Team, is just as infamous for his boorish behavior as he is for his unorthodox coaching strategies. A notorious hothead, Steve has clashed with officials more times than anyone can count, proving he has zero respect for authority. Rumor has it, he keeps his star players close, traveling with them just to keep them out of trouble and away from the media’s prying eyes.

Now, with his Lambs facing off against the New Orleans Angels—and expected to lose—Steve is on edge. The last thing he needs is off-field drama making headlines before kickoff. In a rare moment of caution, he bought his team tickets to the Fat Tuesday’s Pub Mardi Gras party, hoping it would be a quiet, low-key affair. (Yeah, right.) Whether it’s his bossy attitude, his questionable game plan, or his constant need to control everything, one thing’s for sure—if Steve Spaniolo is at the party, it’s anything but low-key.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Coach’s uniform. Whistle and clipboard as optional props.

 

LEON NAQUIN

Bourbon Street Chef, Balatoire’s Restaurant

Leon Naquin is the executive chef at the famous Bourbon Street restaurant, Balatoire’s. Known for his obsessive cleanliness, Leon runs the most pristine kitchen in town—and he makes sure everyone knows it. But while his food may be top-tier, or so he claims, his personality leaves a bad taste. Blunt, demanding, and impossible to please, Leon has racked up plenty of enemies over the years, from rival chefs to disgruntled employees and even some regulars who couldn’t handle his attitude.

Though he shares family ties with Magnolia Thibodeaux, his niece, the two have never been close. Magnolia prefers sloths over schedules, and Leon—well, let’s just say his kitchen wouldn’t survive her work ethic. Whether it’s family, food, or feuds, Leon Naquin has a way of making everything just a little more complicated.​
COSTUME SUGGESTIONS:  Chef costume. Optional spatula and napkin as props.

​

BERNADETTE DE LA FOSSE
Bourbon Street Performer

Strolling down Bourbon Street, you’re bound to hear the smooth sounds of Bernadette De La Fosse. A lively, larger-than-life street performer, Bernadette has been entertaining crowds for years with her soulful singing, original songs, and guitar playing.

But lately, she’s been shifting gears—trading in her melodies for punchlines. With big dreams of making it as a famous comedian, Bernadette is testing out new material anywhere and everywhere. Whether she’s singing, cracking jokes, or roasting unsuspecting tourists, she always commands attention.

If you’ve got an extra minute (or a spare dollar), she’ll make sure you get a front-row seat to her latest routine. Just don’t heckle—Bernadette’s comebacks hit harder than a jazz solo!

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Soft, free-flowing gypsy-style attire. Optional guitar (real or fake) as a prop.

​

ZENOBIA LEBLANC
Leader of the ‘Pink Cajuns Motorcycle Club’

Zenobia LeBlanc is a rebellious heiress who took up cross-country biking purely out of boredom. But don’t let her tough, leather-clad exterior fool you—this fearless leader of the Pink Cajuns Motorcycle Club is just as polished as she is daring. Beneath the roaring engines and highway dust, Zenobia is known for her impeccable etiquette and literary prowess.

She also holds a grudge like it’s a family heirloom. Cross her once, and she’ll return the favor—twice as hard and with interest. Zenobia isn’t one to start trouble, but if you push her, she’ll make sure you regret it.

She’s also Bobbie Bayou’s cousin, though you wouldn’t know it from how hard she tries to avoid the connection. Bobbie, however, refuses to let go of those family ties, much to Zenobia’s eternal annoyance.

COSTUME SUGGESTIONS: Biker attire (leather jacket/pants, biker gloves, fake tattoos (or real if you’ve got ‘em).
