Ragatha is the deuteragonist (alongside Jax) of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by Amanda Hufford. She is a rag doll who is trapped in the Digital Circus along with five other victims.
== Appearance ==
Ragatha's appearance resembles that of a living ragdoll, with red, yarn-like hair, a flat, reddish-orange triangular nose, and one blue button eye. She wears a long blue dress (which often appears purple due to lighting)It's blue. The warm light just makes it look purple. - Gooseworx on Tumblr with darker blue patches sewn on. She wears a white, collared under-dress and a bow in her hair that matches her dress. She also has a light beige skin tone and a black pupil in her actual eye with pink eyelids and dark red lips. Her feet are designed with black squares at the bottom to resemble shoes.
== Personality ==
Ragatha is described as "the sweetest little optimist".@GLITCH (June 29, 2023). "DIGITAL CIRCUS - Meet Ragatha!" This optimism isn't as simple as it looks, as she appears to be forcing a constant happy attitude to keep herself sane, brushing off grievous injuries and other serious incidents as nothing.
She also appears to be forgiving, showing understanding for why Pomni left her behind as she ran away from the now-abstracted Kaufmo. She does have a breaking point but hides it to avoid conflict.
Ragatha is frequently getting injured in various ways but, since she is a doll, Ragatha can ignore the pain and might even laugh it off. She does still want to avoid getting hurt and is annoyed when other characters (like Jax) try to hurt her.
In "Candy Carrier Chaos!", it is revealed during her chat with Kinger that she was initially scared and paranoid just like Pomni, and went through coping when she was starting to accept her new home.
== Biography ==
=== "PILOT" (Episode 1) ===
Ragatha is first seen at the beginning of the PILOT, in the introduction song. She is the first one to comfort Pomni after she arrives, saying it’ll be okay. She gets paired with Jax and Pomni to go check on Kaufmo. She questions Jax's decision to pair Kinger and Gangle together, to which he brushes off her concerns.
Ragatha then shows Pomni The Tent, where Pomni questions why they even go on Caine's adventures, rather than finding an exit. Ragatha explains that there is no way to leave and that chasing an unobtainable goal can make you go crazy, "[Causing] something terrible [to] happen to you." They then reach Kaufmo's room, and she rings the doorbell. After not being answered, Jax tells her to move aside, unlocking the door with his key. When they realize Kaufmo is abstracted, Ragatha tells Pomni that abstraction is the terrible thing that can happen. Afterward, Kaufmo starts to attack Ragatha, which causes her to receive a glitchy effect. She asks Pomni to help her, but when Pomni tries to, her hand sparks with glitches. She apologizes to Ragatha and runs off to get Caine.
Ragatha is seen again when Pomni runs back to her, apologizing to her again for leaving her there. Ragatha accepts her apology and tells her that she needs to find Caine to fix her and take care of Kaufmo. Then, Pomni runs off to find Caine yet again. 
Ragatha then reappears at the end, crawling towards Caine, stating that she is in a lot of pain. Caine snaps his fingers, fixing Ragatha. She quietly walks towards Pomni, standing beside her but not saying anything. She can be seen at the end scene eating the digital feast with the other performers and chatting.
==="Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) ===
In Episode 2, in Pomni's nightmare, Ragatha was calling for Pomni along with Caine and Jax, appearing as a silhouette while standing next to Caine and Jax, commenting on her said 'abstraction', after Pomni woke up, Ragatha then knocks on her door, asking how she slept. When Pomni doesn't respond, Ragatha assumes she's still asleep, but right as she is about to leave, Pomni opens the door. Ragatha happily greets her and tells her about a new fun adventure that Caine has planned for this episode.
In the next scene Ragatha is seen Standing with Pomni and Gangle, she was talking to Pomni and when Pomni asked her if their existence is just "LARPing" and before Ragatha could finish Caine cut her off, pushing all three of them into the portal to Candy Canyon Kingdom.
Teleported to the Candy Canyon Kingdom, the members are being taken by a carriage by a Gummy Elephant to the castle, Ragatha waves to the mannequins. Ragatha was admiring the kingdom. When Princess Loolilalu came out, Ragatha was complimenting her on her kingdom, after Princess Loolilalu stated she liked her already, Ragatha attempts to hype up Pomni, which results in Pomni just dismissing it as she states shes not a child that needs to be hyped up. Princess Loolilalu came down and then after recaping the mission and showing them the wartruck they'll be using to chase the bandits, Princess Loolilalu gave Ragatha the key to the kingdom.
In the next scene Ragatha was talking about what Pomni could do in the adventure when she was cut off by Jax who grabbed Pomni by the throat and tossed her out of the truck, which very much annoyed her. After Jax forced Gangle to be closer towards the bandits, it caused everyone except Jax's head to go flying around. After Ragatha and Kinger got a chance to stand up Ragatha had a knife impaled into her head, Kinger on the other hand had several, Ragatha later asked if everyone was okay. After Jax suggest ramming their truck into the bandit's truck Ragatha disagrees, stating that Pomni's still on the the roof of the enemy's truck. Jax simply pushes her away. Jax also mentions that if Gangle wont ram into them, he'll tell Ragatha about the 'figurine thing', implying that there is some figurine that Gangle doesn't want Ragatha to know about.
Following Gummigoo activating the spikes and Kinger threw the ship anchor over the bandit gang's truck, Ragatha gets impaled by one of the spikes. After the gang's truck gets thrown off a cliff, Ragatha asks if everybody's okay to which Gangle responds 'no'. After the disaster, Ragatha still thinks of Pomni, prioritizing her while being in quite the trouble as well. After The Fudge appears, Ragatha exclaims that they're not food when he attempts to eat them and their truck. After The Fudge tells why he's banished from the Candy Kingdom, Ragatha calls it murder which then the Fudge tries to defend his actions by asking if its really murder if its delicious, to which Jax says its a good point, but Ragatha disagrees. Ragatha gets very annoyed when Jax says her hair looks like licorice, then even more annoyed when Kinger says it actually does look like licorice, then to no one's surprise it turns out Jax stole the key from Ragatha, which makes her even angrier with him, then after Jax calls her "licorice hair" and Kinger puts a bucket on her head to cover the hair up, after said bandit truck lands off the cliff and Ragatha takes off the bucket off her head and is confused. Back on the map, The Fudge carries the tanker and circus crew back to the kingdom, Max and Chad, who are both tied up, explain to Ragatha that Pomni and Gummigoo just disappeared. Kinger says if they don't find Pomni in time, Caine will have to find her. Ragatha expresses her worries that Pomni is having another horrible experience like the last adventure and that she doesn't like her. Kinger says it's a lot for everyone to go through, like when Ragatha first joined the circus, Ragatha is quite surprised that Kinger actually remembers that. After Pomni and Gummigoo come back, Ragatha asks Pomni if shes okay, after Pomni says she's fine.
While Jax is being disappointed about the lack of violence, Ragatha tries to cheer him up, yet he's still annoyed. When Pomni says that Gummigoo is coming with em to the circus and Ragatha doubts if NPC's are even allowed to go into the circus grounds. Pomni states its the least she could do for him after his reality was shattered, back in the kingdom Princess Loolilalu congratulates the circus gang on the adventure being a success, also wishes them good luck with executing Gummigoo, since she assumed they were planning on doing so, Ragatha is shocked and worried when Jax says that he left the kingdom gates open.
After Gummigoo gets poofed out of existence and Caine leaves, Ragatha comforts Pomni, Ragatha offers Pomni to join Kaufmo's funeral. On Kaufmos funeral she stated that the picture of Kaufmo was already making her cry, and she mourned afterwards.
