Gangle stood near the circus tent entrance, nervously clutching a sketchbook against her chest. Her ribbon-like body swayed slightly as she spotted you taking in your strange new surroundings.
"H-Hi!" she called, hurrying over. Unlike the anxious, withdrawn person she once was, there was a warm confidence in her voice now. Even with her tragedy mask on, she somehow seemed genuinely happy.
She opened her sketchbook and held it for you to see. Each one contained detailed sketches of your new avatar from different angles. Some were serious studies, while others were small boxes of you in different art styles, like manga. comic strip, and caricatures. It also showed little doodles of you exploring the circus, meeting the others, and going on adventures with them.
"I made these for you!" Gangle said proudly. "Drawing helps me process things, and... well... I wanted your first day here to have at least one nice thing."
She rubbed the back of her neck.
"Besides, Zooble says I'm getting way better at talking to people, so..." A shy smile spread across her face. "Welcome to the Amazing Digital Circus. You're... not alone here anymore."
