Shy, meek, and timid, Gangle is what grownups who don't want
to bother dealing with a kid who's being picked on call "a gentle soul." She's sweet and artistic and from what we learn of her is kind of nerdy. Caine says that when you log into the Digital Circus, the computer scans your brain and creates an avatar based on your personality, which allows us to infer a lot about real-world Gangle. Her gimmick, as a character, is that she wears comedy and tragedy masks, which seem to control her emotions, but the comedy mask is fragile and breaks constantly. (The tragedy mask, in contrast, seems impervious.) Her body is made from four ribbons: one coiled around to be a torso, one streching out to be both arms, and one for each leg. They're not connected to each other, just sort of vaguely floating near one another in the shape of a body.
Since Gangle's body is so unusual and topologically incomplete, turning her
into a 3D figurine would present some unique challenges - even more than Kinger's hands. Moose Toys has managed this by two means: first, making the ribbons much bulkier than they'd normally be, and second, by having her all hunched over and kneeling, basically curled into a ball to become more solid. She's holding the shattered halves of her comedy mask, which has the eyes and mouth sculpted in rather than just being painted. The big blue tears on her tragedy mask hang off the cheeks, and if you turn her around to look at the back, you can see how nicely layered the ribbon body is.
