History Characters / TheAmazingDigitalCircus

* OlderThanTheyLook: Her child-like demeanor and way of speaking would give the impression that she's one of the younger humans in the Circus, but she's only a year older than Pomni.

* NameAmnesia: In the trailer, she's horrified that she cannot remember her name before the Circus.

A mischievous prankster who takes the form of a grinning rabbit.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Pomni's small stature, high-pitched voice and facial features make her look and sound like a pretty young person, probably a pre-teen at the oldest, and yet WordOfGod claims she's 25. Justified since this isn’t her actual appearance and more the avatar she was forced into.

* MultipleHeadCase: The Queen has identical faces on both ends of her body, though only one is shown actually speaking. The other head just spits out new Gloinks made from the objects she swallows.

* TheEeyore: Gooseworx has [[https://twitter.com/GooseworxMusic/status/1677403284104155140 implied]] she will almost always have a sad mask on.

A mischievous prankster who takes the form of a grinning rabbit.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adc_doll.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The sweetest little optimist in the Digital Circus]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Amanda Hufford

The optimist of the group, who takes the form of a rag doll.

* AuthorAppeal: Ragatha is a reference to ''WesternAnimation/RaggedyAnnAndAndyAMusicalAdventure'', a movie Gooseworx has stated she has an affinity for many times on Twitter.
* CaptainErsatz: She has a similar look and name to Literature/RaggedyAnn due to Gooseworx's [[AuthorAppeal fondness]] of ''WesternAnimation/RaggedyAnnAndAndyAMusicalAdventure''.
* {{Cyclops}}: Only one of her eyes is an actual eye, the other is a blue sewing button.
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:Though she accepts Pomni's apology to her the first time she gets abandoned, understanding that there were extenuating circumstances at the time, her demeanor towards Pomni at the end after she has to drag herself towards Caine to be healed implies that she took her new friend abandoning her a second time despite her apology much harder.]]
* {{Expy}}: As with the [[AuthorAppeal version of Raggedy Anne]] she is based on, Ragatha is portrayed as cheery and kind, but still with a limit to her patience for others.
* LodgedBladeRecycling: After pulling the cleaver out of her forehead, she notably doesn't throw it away but instead stows it behind herself.
* ImHavingSoulPains: [[spoiler:After getting attacked by Kaufmo, Ragatha starts to severely glitch out, which causes her alot of pain.]]
* InjuredSelfDrag: [[spoiler:Because Pomni didn't come back for her, Ragatha was forced to drag herself from the room corridor to the hall, despite the pain from the glitching.]]
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: In her [[https://twitter.com/glitch_prod/status/1674130647814754317 introductory teaser]], she gets a cleaver chucked into her forehead, only for her to laugh it off before pulling it out and pocketing it.
* NiceGirl: Downplayed. Out-and-out the kindest of the performers, Ragatha does her best to welcome Pomni into the fold and help her acclimate to the Circus, and apologizes when things start falling apart on her first day. However, she's also the first one to suggest that they go do something else (check on Kaufmo) when Zooble is taken apart and carried away by the gloinks.
* OnlySaneWoman: [[DownplayedTrope Well,]] [[StepfordSmiler she's clearly not playing with a full bag of marbles herself,]] but she still comes off as far more well-adjusted and friendly than the rest of the Circus performers, all of whom run the gamut from [[NervousWreck neurotic]] to [[TheCynic cynical]] to [[{{Jerkass}} downright mean]].
* ThePollyanna: Her introductory tweet describes her as the "sweetest little optimist" in the Digital Circus, which she shows by reacting to the cleaver launched into her head as if it were nothing. That said, the DeathGlare she gives Jax after he trips her in his introductory short implies that she has her limits, and the synopsis all but states she has her own trauma like all the others. It's heavily implied [[StepfordSmiler this is a coping mechanism and a survival tactic]].
* PunnyName: She's a rag doll named "Ragatha".
* StepfordSmiler: The Pilot heavily implies that her optimistic demeanor is a desperate coping mechanism for the nightmare she's found herself in [[spoiler:as well as a way to prevent herself from "Abstracting" like what happened to Kaufmo]].
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Ragatha states that centipedes are her only fear, which is exactly why [[{{Troll}} Jax]] hid some in her room when she wasn't looking.

[[quoteright:452:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adc_mask.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:452:She's like a metaphor for society or something]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarissaLenti

A girl with a ribbon body and a comedy/tragedy mask for a face. The mask she wears depends on whether she's happy or sad (if not the other way around), though her "happy" mask tends to break quite a lot...

* NiceGirl: Out-and-out the kindest of the performers, Ragatha does her best to welcome Pomni into the fold and help her acclimate to the Circus, and apologizes when things start falling apart on her first day.

* TheNeedless: According to Kinger, they don't actually need to eat or sleep due to the fact that they're a bunch of digital avatars in a cyber world, but they can still eat digital food that simulates eating but with no actual nutrition.

* TheBlank: None of them have faces, though one does ''conjure'' a face when Pomni catches it in the bath.

* DelayedReaction: He fails to notice Gangle standing right next to him until a few minutes later, and doesn't react to Gangle informing him that they're in the Gloink nest for a few seconds.

* FunPersonified: Deconstructed. He's as much of the jovial, wacky, fun-loving guy he makes himself out to be. Thing is, sometimes the "fun" he sets up is at his performers' expense, like when Zooble lost their body to the Gloinks during a game he set up to help Pomni adjust.

* PoorCommunicationKills: When Pomni says she saw an exit, Caine insinuates that there is no exit door and that she was just suffering a digital hallucination. [[spoiler:In reality, he was still developing something to put behind the exit door and didn't want anybody catching wind of the surprise. His insistence, on the other hand, made Pomni think the exit door was an actual way out of the Circus, leaving her to almost strand herself in the void.]]

* VisualPun: Taking both his misleading sarcasm and only his lips moving when he talks into account, he can be said to be lying ''through his teeth''.

-->'''Caine:''' ''Why are you like this?!''

-->'''Caine''': Now now now, my dear, we can't have any of that ''foul'' language around here! The Amazing Digital Circus is a place to be enjoyed by ''all'' ages.

-->'''Caine''': ''Why are you like this?!''

-->'''Jax''': Y'know, you could've asked for my consent before forcing me to see something so completely and utterly hideous.

!!The Performers

* TheUnsmile: As her time in the Circus goes, she starts getting some ''very'' unhappy smiles all around, especially at the Pilot's ending feast; you can practically hear her sanity crumbling in her grimacing, pained smile that creeps into her face seemingly against her will.

* BizzareAlienReproduction: The Gloink Queen makes new Gloinks by eating whatever the Gloinks bring her with one head and spitting them out through the other.

* NotSoOmniscientAfterAll: Despite his RealityWarper powers letting him do pretty much anything to the Digital Circus and its inhabitants, and the fact he says he has hundreds of (disembodied) eyes used to patrol the setting, Caine himself doesn't seem to be constantly aware of '''everything''' that goes on. He has to be alerted to Pomni getting stranded in the Void by a wrist-mounted device and Ragatha states the only real way to get his attention is to call out his name and hope he hears, outright stating that Pomni will need to "find".
