Vespula performs on rooftops only

It was 1910. Nobody knew where she was from. She hardly spoke about herself. She hardly spoke at all. Some of the other performers were wary of her stoic intensity, but others felt it added an air of mystery to her strange performances.

Vespula was an acrobat, juggler, and tight rope walker and she did them all simultaneously. She didn't work under big tops, but upon rooftops. The circus master soon learned she had a lucrative draw to the crowds and began booking showgrounds with rooftops available for her.

She seemed as fearless as she was graceful and skilled. She performed for years before simply disappearing without a word. The vanishing act was her final performance, they said.
