How about shiny star instead of shining star because TWO of them! It like hasbro made a Pokemon reference or something! First her is gray then brown then gray then brown then inverted colors! She making me nuts!
Remember, jesters generally came in two varieties: the one person allowed to speak truth to power, and the comically deformed. A hypocephalic would fall under the latter.

“It’s plastic, Melody.”
“Hey, I’ve got to rehearse sometime.”
“We’re not even doing Hamlet this year.”
“Don’t listen to him, Yorick. He’s just jealous.”
“Why would I be jealous of plastic?”
“Yorick gets to sleep with me.”
“…I’m going to pretend this conversation never happened.”
“Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Thespis: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?”
A man with a head the size of an orange walks into a bar and orders a drink. Seeing the bartender staring, he explains: “Many years ago, I went to the beach and found a mermaid stranded on the sand. When I carried her into the water, she offered me three wishes. First, I asked for unlimited wealth, and then for a huge mansion. I got both wishes. Then, I asked to have sex with her. “Silly,” she said, “Mermaids can’t have sex with humans, our anatomy is different.” So I said, “Okay, then how about a little head?”

Their hands are tiny, I get that. But still it’s odd that the prop isn’t full-sized. What messed-up version of Shakespeare do they have in this alternate Equestria?
I think adding the new names as tags straight off is a little hasty, but these are certainly some inoffensive additions. I’ve had a hankering to call the girl with the gold star “Baked Alaska”, because she’s from the same Sarah Palin-lookalike mold as Raven/Inkwell and she has a gold star like the Alaskan flag, but I’m not incredibly attached to that. I wonder if it wouldn’t be possible to make “Tragicomedy” a little more pony-sounding somehow, though? “Tragi-Comi-Dee” or sth

Tragicomica? I can dig that.
Fine, then the new line goes
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow who was small of head, but of good humor….
Hamlet, Act 5, Scene 8:
Hamlet: Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy…
Quite possibly the most misquoted line of all time, up there with “Money is the root of all evil.”
Reminds me of this joke.

That’s exactly what Watermelody is wondering.
Hopefully one that still has “exit, pursued by a bear.”

It’s a prop. It’s meant to fit into their palms.
I like it as is. Spontaneously formed headcanon says her friends call her Tracey.
Also I could see Poor Yorick being some prop skull that somehow became the drama clubs’ unofficial mascot.
