Human
Rag doll (Digital World)

## Appearances

### Debut

"PILOT"

**Ragatha** is one of the main characters of The Amazing Digital Circus.

## Appearance

Ragatha's appearance resembles that of a living ragdoll, with red, yarn-like hair, a flat, reddish-orange triangular nose, and one purple button eye. She wears a long purplish-blue dress with darker blue patches and a white undershirt and has a matching bow. She also has a light beige skin tone and a black pupil in her actual eye. Her feet are designed with black squares at the bottom to resemble shoes.

## Personality

Ragatha is described as "the sweetest little optimist". 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. However, by the end of the episode when Pomni has abandoned her a second time, her patience has worn thin and she tries to avoid Pomni.

## Biography

### "PILOT"

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, in which he brushes it off.

Ragatha then shows Pomni The Tent, in which Pomni questions why they even go on Caine's adventures, instead of finding an exit. Ragatha explains that there is really no way to leave and that chasing an unobtainable goal can make you go crazy, in which "Something really terrible happens to you." They then reach Kaufmo's room, and Ragatha 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 really terrible thing that can happen when you reach your breaking point. Afterwards, Kaufmo starts to attack Ragatha, which causes her to receive some sort of glitchy effect. She asks Pomni to help her, but when Pomni tries, her hand sparks and glitches, in which she runs off to get Caine.

Ragatha is seen again when Pomni runs back to her, apologizing 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.

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.
