Gangle is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by Marissa Lenti. She is a humanoid made of ribbons trapped in the Digital Circus along with five other victims.
== Appearance ==
Gangle appears to be made up of four candy red ribbons that form a humanoid shape. Her face is a white porcelain mask with black eyes and mouth. Her body consists of the main mass of the ribbons that curl, making a spring shape that spirals four times, two ribbons that form her legs, and a single ribbon for her arms (one end is the right arm, while the other end is her left arm). Whenever her comedy mask gets damaged, her next mask appears, switching to a discomforted or sad version of the former, clarified by Gooseworx as her tragedy mask. 
== Personality ==
When Gangle is wearing her comedy mask, she seems to be fairly reserved and cheerful. When her comedy facade breaks, she becomes very sad, depressed, and overly emotional. Her tone of voice changes as well, becoming more scratchy and high-pitched like she's on the brink of tears. Gangle is referred to by Jax as one of the most "mentally stable and capable characters" in a mocking manner. Due to her mask breaking easily, Gangle is fragile in both a literal and figurative sense. 
== Biography ==
=== "PILOT" (Episode 1) ===
Gangle first appears in the episode "PILOT." She is introduced in the opening theme song, but Pomni knocks over Jax, who falls onto Kinger, who in turn tumbles into Gangle. She lands face-first, which causes her comedy mask to break, making her cry and showing her next, sadder, mask. Jax is seen stepping on her comedy mask, cracking it even more, making Gangle sob in response.
Gangle later pipes up during a conversation quietly saying, "What about Zooble?" Showing her concern for the other performer. Gangle gets paired up with Kinger to find Zooble and deal with The Gloinks. Later in the episode, Gangle reappears with Kinger, as they're gazing down a pitch-black hole, where they can hear Zooble distantly screaming. Gangle has to remind Kinger that they saw one of the Gloinks carry Zooble's pieces down there, seemingly startling Kinger.
She then asks Jax how Kaufmo is doing, saying that she hopes he isn't mad at her for not laughing at his jokes. Jax then throws a bowling ball at Kinger, who smacks against Gangle, pulling her down. Jax goes down the hole with them, and they all tumble down a long and fun-shaped slide, entering The Gloink Queen's Nest.
After Jax states that he doesn't want to help Zooble anymore, Kinger and Gangle play rock-paper-scissors to see who will go and save Zooble. Gangle loses, saddening her, while Kinger looks ecstatic about getting to help Zooble. After the Gloink Queen is defeated, Gangle shows confusion and is surprised when she learns that Kaufmo was abstracted.
On their way out, Jax offers to let Gangle go first, but changes his mind immediately after muttering: "No, wait, why would I say that?" and shoves Gangle onto the floor, and she enters last. At the end of the episode, she can be seen eating the digital feast with the other performers discussing compost with the rest of the group. She appears to be eying Pomni with worry, asking her if she is feeling alright (even though the dialogue is inaudible). 
=== "Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) ===
Gangle is seen at the Tent with the rest of the crew (except Zooble) getting pushed into the portal by Caine, although she doesn't say anything much. In the Candy Canyon Kingdom, when they are walking to the castle, she expressed how much she likes the place, before a mannequin charges into her and breaks her comedy mask.
When the crew goes to the truck, Jax runs to it saying "I call shotgun", before ironically forcing Gangle to drive after he is not pleased by the sound of the horn. Later when the crew is driving to catch the bandits, Jax says "you drive over to the other truck and I'll shoot em repeatedly until they're unrecognizable", before Gangle says "I feel like that violates some kind of convention". When Gangle refuses to comply with what Jax wants, he threatens her on revealing about the "Figurine thing", making her ram into the bandits shortly after.
