**Triangles** are minor characters that appear when Hexagonis magically split in the *Virtually Gifted* cartoon series. While they serve as joke characters that aren't even that important in the narrative to begin with, they do help paint the deeper story of what Hexagon even is, and why he acts they way that he does. They are voiced by freshyvo, who happens to be the very same voice actor as Hexagon.

## Appearance

Triangles, hence their pretty basic and simplistic name, take the form of 6 tiny triangles that are approximately 1/6 the size of Hexagon himself, because this fits the logic of proportions. To match color theory, 3 of them are yellow, and 3 of them are red, since combining yellow and red make the color orange. The red ones have arms and float, while the yellow ones are armless and walk around on the ground.

The red triangles usually don an angry face whenever they are shown on screen, while the yellow ones seem to be happy all the time without fail. These simple rules of consistency serves to act as a simple surreal image of combining anger and happiness together, but these actual true emotions also serves to differ from Hexagon's usual apathetic expression of confusion or boredom that he usually displays.

## Personality

As previously stated, Triangles enter the show when Hexagon is split by VR Headset as a surreal gag. They tend to stick together, but do have their own personalities to an extant. The red Triangles seem to be angry all the time and even go as far as to curse and bully people around them, hating everyone and anyone around them. The yellow ones, however, seem to be the complete inverse, being much more positive and happy. The yellow triangles are always seen talking about the good perks that come with being alive and attempt to make friends with as much people as possible.

Due to this wild discrepancy of character traits from these particular shapes, we can safely infer that the reason Hexagon is basically as bland as he is due to simple math. If you take the anger that the red triangle shapes have, and combine that with the overall happy-go-luckiness that the yellow shapes have, you can make a true zero of sorts, or a character that is truly apathetic and uncaring. In other words, zero personality. Isn't math great? Each triangle character has pretty much the same voice as Hexagon, done with very little changes or edits. This laziness of voice direction is done because the Triangles are *considered* part of the real Hexagon. To further add to the insanity of having these characters, each triangle has virtually the same and bland ass name of "Triangle", and are only distinguishable by their color, but even then, that leaves 3 characters with the same name as the others (each yellow triangle would be called "Yellow Triangle" and each red triangle would be called "Red Triangle") Talk about identity theft, am I right?

When the triangles are merged with each other, 3 triangles can end up making a Trapezoid of that specific color (e.g. Red Triangles merged with each other will make a Red Trapezoid), and this trapezoid can wreak havoc if not kept under wraps. The Red Trapezoid can be an abusive individual who acts like a bully, while the Yellow Trapezoid can become a truly annoying jackass that doesn't shut up about how awesome life is if no one stops their plots. This display of true chaos seems to serve as a lesson that being happy all the time or being angry all the time can be a real problem, and that we need a mix of anger and happiness to live life correctly. It also serves as a reason Hexagon is the way that he is. So next time you think Hexagon has no point to exist, ask the triangles about his personality. I'm sure you'll love them.

## Trivia

* Triangles are the only official and canon variant of a character that appears in the Virtually Gifted cartoon series.
* Triangles, like Hexagon, are the only characters that are named directly after a polygon. This serves to make designing and animating them very simple.
* Triangles have very bad shading and look simplistic on purpose as a reference to the full character they represent.
* Triangles have even lesser reputation than Hexagon does, considering they cause nothing but trouble in the show, so their existence seems to make more people appreciate Hexagon and even causes other people to admit that they miss their six sided classmate.
* Triangles appear to be even dumber than Hexagon is, due to the fact that they are simply 1/6 of him. They also lack most backstory similar to him.
* While triangles are usually on good terms with their own similarly colored brethren, they usually feud with the opposite colored shapes because of their different worldviews clashing.
* Triangles do not seem to have any lower denominations, given the fact that they are basic shapes of geometry and not composite in any way. Keep this in mind, because if they were to be split again, they'd cease to exist. Dark, eh?
* Red triangles have a secret admirer: Ball, due to their violent and angry mannerisms. Fittingly, Fedora also seems to like them as a friend due to their abrasive and rude mannerisms.
* They may make later appearances in the show. So keep watch!
