The main character of the

At the end of season 2, Jonah apparently [[spoiler:either works for, or re-founded from scratch, Wreath of Life, the company that originally produced the ''Angel Hare'' show.

* TheVoice: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. The only thing we see from him is his left arm, and that's about it.



* AnimationBump: [[spoiler:Becomes a lot smoother during season 1's finale, signifying that she truly has returned.]]
* ArchangelGabriel: That's her name, though she is more commonly known as Gabby. [[spoiler:Angel Zag]] says that the nickname is because Gabby is traditional.



* BenevolentAbomination: [[spoiler:Despite how unnerving VCR Gabby is, as well as the implications that she is behind the disappearance of Jonah's father, Gabby wants nothing more than the comfort of troubled kids like Jonah.]] [[AdorableAbomination It helps that she's cute]].



* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:The entire crux of season 2, and the reason why she's gone missing. Back in the olden days, she was able to appear to troubled kids who were watching her show, but after being exposed to the Internet, Gabby ultimately overexerted herself by trying to help absolutely everyone and suffered a HeroicRROD as a result.]]

Spock]].
* LightIsGoodLightIsGood: Goes without saying, as an angel dressed in white and gold.
* MakingASplash: Heavily implied. [[spoiler:While looking for information about what happened to his father, Jonah learns that a flood had destroyed all public records in his hometown. Considering [[TheGreatFlood a different flood within the bible]], it doesn't take much to put the pieces together.]]



* AmbiguousSituation: Francis is perhaps the one of the cartoon trio that has the least information available, and as such a lot of things about him are left to interpretation. [[spoiler: Is he an angel, an assistant, or a part of the cartoon brought to life? Has he been alive the whole time, [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming or did he just gain consciousness during the series]]? If so, was it when Angel Zag showed up? Was from the Last Letters, where the second to last question glitched out the set?]]



* TheMccoy: Clearly the most emotional of the trio.

to:

* TheMccoy: Clearly In a sense. He's clearly the most emotional of the trio.trio, but unlike other examples of this trope, he's more timid than HotBlooded.
* SensitiveArtist: Has himself a bit of an interest in art, making drawings far more detailed than the rest of ''Angel Hare''. He's also quite meek and fearful.
* ThrowingOutTheScript: Tries to follow the general story of the tapes to a T, even when Gabby starts to break character. [[spoiler:While he starts having a mind of his own during the Easter special, it isn't until Gabby's disappearance and Zag showing up to find her that things go off the rails, and Francis finally starts to deviate from the script.]]

* MediumAwareness: Unlike Gabby, he makes next to no effort to hide the fact that he's a literal angel in the livestream. He's even able to forcibly continue the show after Jonah has it paused.

[[folder:Jonah]]
Our protagonist. A young man reminiscing on his childhood watching ''Angel Hare''.
----
* AbusiveParents: Jonah’s father. [[spoiler:It becomes clear by episode 2 that Angel Gabby was trying to the best of her ability to protect young Jonah from him and give Jonah the strength to endure the abuse. She might have even found some way to get rid of him.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: At first his lack of real memories about the show is attributed to Jonah only having been a child at the time he first watched it, but then we find out [[spoiler:that he doesn't even remember that he had a father.]]
* PromotedFanboy: An InUniverse example.

Instead of just being a fan, he's now in charge of broadcasting the show online to the world so that Gabby can help people.]]
* SuddenlyVoiced: [[spoiler:After all of his narration had been represented as text-only throughout the series, we finally hear Jonah speak during the livestream at the end of season 1.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Angel Gabby]]
The main character of the ''Angel Hare'' cartoon. Later revealed to be ArchangelGabriel.
----
* AsTheGoodBookSays: Gabby often cites Bible verses to support her lessons. At one point in the VCR recordings, Gabby substitutes a much darker passage from Revelation for the original citation from the scripted episode.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Angel Gabby does this constantly, especially in Jonah’s recording of the show. While in the official VHS copy she only does it in the way most children’s show hosts do to address the kids watching at home, in Jonah’s copy, she addresses Jonah directly and even seems capable of seeing and hearing what’s going on on his side of the TV. [[spoiler:It appears she’s only capable of doing this when the show is being broadcast.]]
* CoolBigSis: [[spoiler:Based on what is shown of Jonah’s recording of the show, Gabby was this for Jonah as a child.]]
* FluffyCloudHeaven: Angel Gabby lives in a house in the clouds, clearly evoking this idea of heaven.
* GenderFlip: Gabriel is usually male.
* GoodIsNotNice: VHS Gabby is a standard kind Christian kids' show character extolling the virtues of optimism, friendship and kindness. VCR Gabby, on the other hand, [[spoiler:is apathetic towards forgiveness (though she was really only telling Jonah he shouldn't have to forgive someone who wronged him if he doesn't want to, which isn't a bad lesson to teach, but certainly [[HardTruthAesop not what one would normally expect]] from a character like her) and endorses creating an alibi for crimes (although she does it in a way that technically doesn't contradict the "lying is wrong" message of the episode she was in by suggesting one where he wouldn't have to lie about where he was), as well as implicit murder, destruction of evidence and memory wiping,]] but still seems to be caring and supportive.
* GuardianAngel: Gabby declares herself to be Jonah’s Guardian Angel at one point. How true this is is left up to interpretation.
* MamaBear: Angel Gabby grows increasingly protective of Jonah as the series goes on. [[spoiler:It’s strongly implied she has something to do with the disappearance of Jonah’s abusive father. Though it’s never explained what she did or how.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: VHS Gabby is only ever called that and even refers to herself that way when introducing herself to the viewers. She only reveals her full name to be Gabriel in the VCR copy when introducing herself to Jonah for the first time.
* {{Superdickery}}: The thumbnails and video titles paint a ''far'' more sinister picture of Gabby and the episode's contents than what actually transpires in them.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Francis]]
An often sinful but well-intentioned badger whom Gabby preaches to every episode.
----
* BeneathTheEarth: Francis' home is an underground burrow (or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sett sett]]) in the middle of the forest.
* ButtMonkey: He's a NervousWreck who in the show is always involved in some disaster or crisis of faith, in the letters segments he seems to be all too aware of the strange things about the show but unable to explain (perhaps for fear of Gabby's anger), and even in the soundtrack video he's trapped in a hot air balloon trying to get Gabby to help (though to be fair to Gabby, she has headphones on and her eyes are closed so she probably doesn't notice his predicament). In the VCR copy of the show, he doesn't come to life when Gabby does and continues to follow the script oblivious to Gabby's deviations from it. [[spoiler:In a previously missing episode of the in-universe show - the Easter special - he finally deviates from the script by painting ominous symbols on his Easter eggs, clearly trying to communicate misgivings about the whole arrangement - but even then, he fails.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Angel Zag]]
A new angel hare looking for Gabby. [[spoiler:Later episodes reveal he's actually Zag Wylde, the main character of a noir detective cartoon, and furthermore that he's ''actually'' the angel Zagzael.]]
----
* TheComicallySerious: [[spoiler:Although initially worrying, in retrospect, Angel Zag has shades of this. He has the demeanor of a hardboiled detective having no choice but to go undercover as a children's TV show host, and completely phoning it in.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: [[spoiler:Angel Zaggy]] when he says his last line in "Case 2 - Last Resorts", when [[spoiler:Jonah threatens to stop the livestream for the episode he is in]].
* GenderFlip: Just like Gabriel being gender-flipped, [[spoiler:Zagzagel]] has gotten the same treatment.
* IntrepidFictioneer: In season 2, it's eventually discovered that Zag [[spoiler:wasn't originally a character from ''Angel Hare'', but rather the protagonist of ''Wylde Hare'', a noir detective cartoon that predates ''Angel Hare''. After tracking down a film reel of the older show, Jonah is able to let Zag and Francis travel between shows. Characters and objects that travel between shows are altered to suit whichever world they're in, so while Zag and Francis are cartoon animals in the ''Angel Hare'' world, they become humans in the ''Wylde Hare'' world. Francis' drawing also converts into a newspaper.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Similarly, Zag is only referred to by his fuller names, [[spoiler:Zag Wylde]] and [[spoiler:Zagzagel]], later on in season 2.
