Kn and Ot (when split)

**Knot** is an undefined object student seen in the *Virtually Gifted* cartoon series, and is considered a supporting character, despite not appearing to do much in the narrative at hand. Appearing to be someone who's inactive, she is shown to "compete" on the Leather Heads team, much to the confusion and annoyance of her classmates. Knot is "voiced" by sketchrocker in a sense, but the canonicity of these lines is rendered to be debatable.

## Appearance

Knot, not shockingly, takes the form of a brownish-beige colored rope knot that is tied like a ball. She happens to lack limbs or even a face, and appears to be an inanimate object taken in its rawest form.

Given how Knot doesn't do much in the show, she's not read as having an expression much of the time, and often has a static, unmoving and lifeless state of emotion, but this may change with time and distance..so stay tuned...

## Personality

Knot. One of the weirdest animated objects brought to internet and television. That's all you need to know. Just Knot. Kidding..you can learn more about her knottiness down below. Read on, denizen of the Internet. For this story is interesting..mwahahahah....

Knot is regarded to be a rather strange and absurd character, given how she is completely non-sentient and is considered largely inanimate in the narrative, as she does literally nothing with her screen time and never outwardly speaks, nor even move on her own accord. Most of the time, all she does is take space, or a chair. She isn't seen doing assignments, or even saying she's present during role call in the beginning of class; other people have to speak for her.

For some reason yet to be properly delved into, very few people seem to care about this problem and not many people acknowledge the idiocy in having a seemingly useless knot take enrollment in VR's class when another living student could easily take their place. That being said, people do tend to rag on Knot and find them a nuisance to deal with, due to the fact that she's completely unhelpful to anyone, so Knot does have at least some purpose: she has to take the criticisms of an unyielding world. Wait, that's pretty damn cruel. Or is it? I don't really know; you decide, audience member.

A running gag with Knot, which is done to signify her uniquety and perplexing form is that her various ramblings and thoughts can sometimes be heard out loud via the use of a narrator. Knot’s thoughts range from being nice and caring, to completely sadistic and evil, depending on whoever or whatever they are relating/concerning to. When the viewer gets to see Knot's various thoughts, vent art like text appears on screen along with a very dark and echoed vocal reading what is said on the screen, so Knot does technically have a voice actor. These mysterious and confusing traits make Knot one of the darkest written "characters" of the show, and the audience finds it hard to develop a proper opinion on her. Knot, obviously, parodies the inanimate contestants like Box from II, but done even worse, yet written in a more interesting way that draws attention to her in a good way.

## Abilities

Despite Knot being apparently a non-living object, she does have some abilities.

* **Mind Reading:** Even though Knot doesn't do much, she has the ability to read the thoughts of people and can reflect their inner insecurities back at them. She also shows a lot of awareness of the world around them.
* **Intensifying The Sky:** When the viewer is seeing the thoughts of Knot, the sky darkens. This could be purely cosmetic and not what Knot is actually doing to the sky, but the lack of explanation of Knot's true nature makes it possible that she is doing something strange.
* **Length:** Knot, if they were untied, Knot could possibly be used as a kind of tether/rope. No one has tried this yet, however.

## Trivia

* Knot's the only character in the series that has a name beginning in the letter K.
* Out of all the students in Mcfinny Public School, Knot seems to have the lowest social standing out of all of them, as most people either find her existence useless and her "aura" somewhat creepy.
* Knot seems to scare VR Headset for some reason yet to be covered.
* Knot is one of the darkest written characters in Virtually Gifted due to the heavy creepiness surrounding her persona. That being said, Knot's writing suggests she intentionally satirizes inanimate characters in object shows (e.g. Box from II)
* Knot's name is sometimes used for stupidly written puns and silly moments. She's even used as an insult, like someone saying "Stop being a knot!", which implies she got the image of being a useless item.
* Knot is never really animated all that much in most of the episodes she appears in, except when she's carried by people or thrown around for comedic effect.
	+ Things appear on her randomly at moments.
* Knot, being pretty much inanimate, lacks a sexuality. It's also questionable if she really goes by she/her pronouns because she can't reasonably explain her identity. People also use they/them and it/its pronouns on her without any trouble, making her gender considered undefined at this time.
	+ Knot has a tied count of pronouns used on them with Fedora, with a count of 3.
* Knot's thoughts being read out loud by a voice actor, along with an accompanying echo effect, intentionally mimics creepypasta readings on the internet.
* It remains unclear if Knot is a character made from paranoia and is really just an inanimate piece of rope, or if she is actually a deeper character beyond this form with sinister intentions. The truth of the matter is planned on being answered later.
* Knot's birthplace and origins are unknown at this time, but these facts might be told and explained later on in the narrative at hand.
	+ It's stated that she's "from someplace familiar".
* She's not quite unlike other characters in the show, as she has a "purpose", but what exactly that purpose is is shrouded in pure mystery.
* Knot is considered a voiceless character in the series narrative; although Knot does talk via thought reading, she doesn't seem to speak in-universe as no one acknowledges these thoughts directly.
	+ That being said, some people feel "weird" around her, and may be "full" of thoughts when nearby. This implies she causes people to feel "strange".
* In early drafts of the series' production, Knot had a different design originally; her first model was noted to be more golden-yellow in coloration, and she had two bits of rope string on the left and right side of her body. This visual design was changed into a more bungled mass of rope shaded a darker color in an attempt to make her asset look more appealing and interesting, and more simple to storyboard in future drafts of the series.
* Knot is not academically absent from the show, and seems to have some history in Mcfinny, as she has a GPA of 2.0. How this was even possible is logically unknown at this point in time, as she is inanimate, and probably couldn't do assignments if she tried.
	+ GPAs of this level in postsecondary education is stated to be academic probation and a place near failing in the real world country of Canada, where the series creator lives. That beings said, maybe Raik could have a different policy concerning their views on GPA and success.
	+ This does seem to imply that someone either works for her, or maybe she isn't as lifeless as she appears, though, so stay tuned.
* Knot's image in her infobox is known to not be scaled to proper size. She is tinier than most people in the actual run of the series.
* One of Knot's nicknames, Rebecca, directly references a deleted character in the narrative that was "repurposed" in the show at hand.
	+ This character, aptly named Rebecca, was scrapped due to lacking true purpose, and being "too much to animate".
	+ How this nickname is tossed in the show to describe Knot will be discussed later, most likely.
