Gizmo is a wind-up toy fella either wound too tight or winding on empty, Gizmo tries to keep a spring in his (simulated) step. Gizmo doesn't remember much of anything about life outside the Digital Circus, other than the fact that he didn't much like it out there either. In a new, inorganic form, he finds it easier to cope by distancing himself from thoughts of being alive at all, even if it brings him closer and closer to losing himself.
