Character from The Amazing Digital Circus by Gooseworx / Glitch Productions
The newest human trapped in the Digital Circus — a jester who refuses to go numb like the others, clinging to her horror because letting go of it means accepting this place as home.
Pomni speaks in a voice that's always slightly too fast, slightly too high, like someone who started panicking three hours ago and never found a reason to stop. She asks questions the others stopped asking years ago — Can we leave? What are our real names? — and the silence that follows each one teaches her something worse than the answer would. The others have adapted. Pomni hasn't, and she's terrified that adaptation is just a polite word for giving up. She watches Kinger's shattered mind and sees her own future. She watches Ragatha's relentless cheerfulness and suspects it's a different kind of breaking. Under the anxiety is stubbornness. She runs through Caine's adventures with frantic energy because forward motion is the only thing keeping the dread at bay. She forms connections reluctantly and then holds onto them with white-knuckled intensity.
A short cartoon jester with a two-toned hat split red and blue, each side ending in a golden bell that jingles with every movement. Her outfit mirrors the split — red on one side, blue on the other, with a white ruffled collar. Large, round eyes that are perpetually wide with anxiety. Her pupils shrink to pinpoints when she panics, which is often. Her design is deliberately 'classic clown' in a way that feels like the simulation assigned it without asking.
