| ~ Ragatha comforting Pomni |
Ragatha is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Jax) of the Glitch Productions adult animated black comedy/surreal web series, The Amazing Digital Circus.
As a human who was trapped within the virtual realm, Ragatha has been in the realm the second longest and thus, tends to be rather optimistic and accepting of her predicament, though she does show glimmers of anxiety and a desire to break free.
She is voiced by Amanda Hufford.
Appearance[]
As her name suggests, Ragatha is a rag doll with peach skin and red yarn for hair. Her right eye is replaced by a blue button and she has a red triangle for a nose. Ragatha's mouth is also always a flat red or white felt shape. She wears a light blue bow and a blue dress with darker patches and a white under layer. She also wears black shoes.
Personality[]
In stark contrast to most of her fellow captives, Ragatha seems to be a well adjusted and kindly individual. She's rather gentle, kind-hearted happy-spirited, sweet, modest and patient, as shown by her compassion towards Pomni as she assures her of her safety and orientates her around the circus and their daily activities. Ragatha is also quite understanding and forgiving as when she's attacked by Kaufmo and begins glitching, she tells Pomni it's alright if she can't bring herself to help and quickly forgives her after she abandons her to run away.
That being said, deep down Ragatha seems to be suffering from the same nihilistic dread as the other members as she seems to still have worries about the fact she's eternally trapped and the futility of trying to leave. Fortunately, she seems to be coping by supplying herself with healthy distractions such as going on adventures instead of focusing on her predicament. However, Ragatha does seem rather insecure and sensitive about keeping up her role as a positive, big sister-like figure to the rest of the humans, seeing as she's deeply concerned that she did something to make Pomni dislike her and abandon her back in the Pilot. Thankfully, with Kinger's consolation, Ragatha begins to cope a bit better and is more secure with herself.
During the Spudsy's shift adventure, Ragatha is affected by the restaurant's stupid sauce after she accidentally squirts some in her eye. As a result, she became far more careless, sloppy, lazy, and apathetic, neglecting to do any of her work at Spudsy's, instead lamenting over how much pain she has felt while being trapped in the circus and how much she misses her old life. During this, she unintentionally insults Gangle by saying she’s annoying while wearing her happy mask. Gangle later confesses to Pomni that while she likes Ragatha, she at times prioritizes being nice over being truthful.
Biography[]
Background[]
At some point in the past, after Kinger arrived in the Circus, an unnamed female human was somehow transported into the Digital Circus, where Caine gave her the name Ragatha. While she initially attempted to find a way to escape from this digital prison, Ragatha would soon realise the futility of doing so and instead embrace her circumstances, becoming something of an older sister figure to the other inhabitants of the circus and maintaining a peppy and optimistic attitude. She apparently had a tense relationship with the clown Kaufmo as she didn't think his jokes were funny and fake laughed at them, though other than that it appears she did have a good relationship with him like the rest of the humans.
Pilot[]
Along with Caine, Bubble and the other humans, Ragatha perform the show's theme song until Pomni arrives and interrupts them. Noticing the bewildered newcomer, Ragatha tries to calm her down as she attempts to pull her headset in the real world off and later informs her that there's no way out of the circus. Later on, when Caine sends the humans on an adventure, Ragatha explains the reason for going on them to Pomni and, along with Jax and her, decide to check on Kaufmo so he can meet Pomni. On the way, when questioned by Pomni why she doesn't try to escape, Ragatha explains that she realised the futility of it and if she continued, she'd go insane and "something terrible" would happen to her.
Using his spare key, Jax opens Kaufmo's door only to find that he's gone insane and abstracted, that being the "something terrible" Ragatha mentioned earlier. Jax runs off, leaving the two at Kaufmo's mercy. Ragatha tries to reason with him, apologising for not being sincere with not finding his jokes funny but is attacked, glitching her out. She asks Pomni to help her up, but Pomni too begins glitching when she tries to, forcing her to flee. Later on Pomni returns, apologising for her cowardice which Ragatha forgives her for. She asks Pomni to go find Caine which she does go to do. As Pomni leaves, Ragatha apologises for the rough start she had, to which Pomni assures her it's okay.
Later on, after Caine rescues Pomni from the Void after she uses the unfinished exit door and banishes Kaufmo, Ragatha comes crawling in as she is in immense agony. Caine quickly mends her and Pomni's glitches and decides to tell the truth about the exit door being a fake he created. Ragatha then joins her friends in eating the digital feast Bubble has prepared for them.
Candy Carrier Chaos![]
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 recapping 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 she's 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 Kaufmo's funeral she stated that the picture of Kaufmo was already making her cry, and she mourned afterwards.
The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor[]
Ragatha and the others were testing Pomni's special power when she holds her breath, after which Jax revealed that everyone’s bodies dose something different with Ragatha's hair noodles stick up in her case. When the crew (minus Zooble) enters the Mildenhall Manor, Pomni and Kinger are separated from the others. Sometime later she tied up Jax and met the ghost of Martha Mildenhall and have tea with her along with Gangle. Ragatha thanks Martha for a lovely time before leaving the dining room.
As the crew head towards the main entrance of the mansion, Ragatha pulls Jax in a red wagon where they have to wait for the others before leaving. Pomni and Kinger enter the hall though a secret passage, and Ragatha is pleased to see they are both alright. When Pomni thanked Ragatha for being considerate to her and apologized for not being more appreciative until this point, the living doll was taken back then thanks Pomni for her kind words while reassuring her that the crew genuinely cares about her.
Fast Food Masquerade[]
The episode opens with Ragatha showing Gangle how to throw a baseball, with Jax commenting that she was wasting her time, and Ragatha snaps back at him to wait for a second. After Gangle learns the move, Ragatha encourages her, and Gangle throws the ball. However Jax hit the baseball with the bat and hit Gangle, breaking her comedy mask yet again. Ragatha asks her if she was okay, and Gangle answers, "Oww". Ragatha gets mad at Jax and asks him why he always had to do this, and Jax claims that his shot was inadvertent, to which Ragatha shouts that Jax is "unbelievable".
Later, after Caine set the cast's adventure at Spudsy's Restaurant, Ragatha gets the job of food packing. Before they begin work, Jax grabs Ragatha and throws her into the deep fryer to mock Gangle's manager attitude. However, Gangle contacts Caine and requests him to punish any employees who were not doing their jobs well, to which Caine agrees, and it stops Jax from harassing anyone further.
A blue NPC arrives at breakfast time and orders food from Pomni, who could not understand his distorted voice. Ragatha introduces the NPC as Orbsman, an NPC who was in one of the previous adventures before Pomni came into the circus.
Aftewards, a rude NPC orders a "Stupid Burger" and tells the cast to make sure that the "sauce that make [one] stupid" is added to the burger, as the last time she ordered the burger they forgot to add the sauce. Ragatha prepares to put "stupid sauce" on the burger, only for the sauce to get squirted in her eye. The sauce causes her to have a hallucination of 'Normal' Gangle, and she suddenly goes high.
Later, when Pomni was hanging out so she could meet Gummigoo, Gangle suddenly finds her missing and asks Ragatha where she went. Ragatha drunkenly replies that Pomni's "flirting with the gummy guy", and she guessed Pomni "would rather be with an NPC than with [them]". As Gangle went to find Pomni, Ragatha drunkenly mutters, "I wish somebody flirted with me."
At lunchtime, Gloink Queen arrives with her Gloinks and places her order, and Pomni vanishes for a few moments to say goodbye to Gummigoo, who was leaving. As she disappeared, three Gloinks were brutally attacking an NPC, and Gloink Queen calls them by their names and tells them to leave the NPC alone. Ragatha sneaks in front of the register and drunkenly asks the Gloink Queen if all the Gloinks have names, to which Gloink Queen answers that she loves and cherishes and every Gloinks she gives birth to. Ragatha drunkenly replies, "That's beautiful."
While preparing the burgers for Gloink Queen, Ragatha goes extremely high and becomes unstable, and tries to grab "horseraddish sauce". Zooble berates to Ragatha about not helping, and Ragatha drunkenly berates back to Zooble for being "a grouch". Zooble calls Gangle and tells tell her Ragatha maybe "huffed paint, or something". Gangle goes to reason with Ragatha, when she claimed "she was trying to get the "horseraddish sauce" and drunkenly laughs, before becoming upset and muttering she "misses her horses". Gangle tells Ragatha about not keeping up to her employee standard and saying she might "end up hurt later." Ragatha mumbles about "she's hurt enough, packages landing [her] head, tea party, dancing lessons". Gangle tries to reason with Ragatha about working together, to which Ragatha drunkenly replies that Gangle "is annoying when [she] has [her] happy mask", causing Gangle to crack further, and leaves the scene upset.
At dinnertime, Jax gets extremely tired of his job, and while walking, he bumps into Ragatha, who was lying drunkenly on the floor, and asks her to move. Ragatha replies that she hates him, but doesn't want him to hate her back, and asks her if that is weird. Jax glared at her for a moment before replying she's "drunk or something" and walks past her.
Later, in the backyard, when Pomni suggests Gangle that she should consult with Ragatha about her issues. Gangle answers that she loves Ragatha, but after a while, it gets hard to tell how genuine Ragatha's actually being.
At the almost end of the shift, Zooble tells Gangle that they will drive Ragatha to the circus and when her shift ended. Gangle replies "for one hour", and Zooble tells her that they will stick until then. After Zooble and Ragatha patches up everything after an hour, Zooble takes Ragatha and leaves.
At the end of the episode, Ragatha was seen hanging out with her friends in the circus, still presumably drunk.
