Pomni [FORTNITE]

Initially, Pomni was high-strung, shy, and tense. In the pilot episode, she is extremely anxious and troubled regarding her predicament, even succumbing to denial and signs of delusion. When she finds the "exit", she experiences moderate signs of paranoia and believes she is hallucinating. She's quite clumsy as she tends to accidentally bump into things and people.

Pomni has a degree of both empathy and selfishness, as she goes back to check on Ragatha after the latter was attacked by an abstracted Kaufmo and promises Ragatha that she'd find Caine to fix her. However, Pomni's desire to escape the digital circus overrode this, as she entered the exit door upon finding it and left Ragatha behind. She later felt remorse for this once Ragatha was fixed by Caine.

After having somewhat acclimated to her predicament, Pomni adopts a more apathetic and cynical view, pointing out discrepancies in the Circus's scenarios and being detached from the adventures, not seeing the point in following along. She is more hot-tempered as she yells at the gang (specifically Jax) for their plans leaving her in mortal peril. Despite this, Pomni is rather compassionate as she comforts and bonds with Gummigoo during his existential crisis. She encourages him by telling him he still has purpose and inviting him to follow her back to the Circus. Overtime, Pomni grows closer to the others after seeing how much they cared for each other during Kaufmo's funeral. This is especially after she receives advice from Kinger (who temporarily regained his sanity). She thanked Ragatha for always being considerate to her and apologized for not showing appreciation until that moment.

By Episode 4, she adapts to being in the circus and is comfortable interacting with the others. She is startled when she sees Gummigoo again. but doesn't break down, enters normal conversations with people like Jax, and shows concern for Gangle, asking if anyone could help her with her issues. She even offers to stay behind to close the restaurant when she sees Gangle feeling down. By this point, she has learned to give up her own wants and desires in order to benefit others, including letting go of Gummigoo as a whole.

By Episode 5, her anxiety and cynical views are almost completely gone, chuckling on a few occasions as well as showing interest in the adventures. Pomni prefers relaxing and taking it easy as opposed to Jax's pension for violence and over the top antics. Pomni shows an interest in getting to know the others better and desires they would all get along. She even tries to help Jax and Ragatha with their own issues, such as calming a feud between them and accepting Jax's offer to check out whatever he saw in the hallway.

By Episode 6, Pomni has grown more confident and calmer. She was opposed to participating in the latest adventure because it involved shooting her friends, but after some convincing from Jax, Pomni adopts an "evil" persona and enjoys playing alongside him. Pomni shows an interest in getting to know him and makes comments about his fear of corn. However, when the shooting game ended, she became hurt when Jax refused to acknowledge he cared for her and destroyed the bond they formed. This caused to her to unleash all her pent-up rage on Jax first by berating and calling him out for not showing compassion towards others, then attacking and yelling at him to fight back; when that failed, she became dejected. She threw away her persona and focused more on her friendship with Ragatha to mend things between them. Although Pomni was still upset with Jax, she is concerned about him. Pomni dislikes noise, exemplified at the beginning of episode 6, as Jax yells, startling her. Pomni does not like being touched, but has since gotten over this feeling, as in episode 6, she was curious when Jax tapped her before singing Daisy Bell and hugged her after they defeated everyone.

Though, she has been stretched by Caine and thickened by being put in this earth-like world named Fortnite where you constantly try and kill everyone just to get a “Victory Royale”, alongside Jax, who had almost no changes whatsoever.

Appearance: Pomni is a tall, curvy humanoid character with a large head, slim limbs, and white skin. Her face has a cartoon mime look, with small light red oval markings under and slightly behind her eyes that resemble blush, though how visible they are change depending on her expression. She has black eyelids and thick outlines around her eyes. Her pupils usually appear as a red and blue pinwheel pattern, but when she becomes anxious or afraid, they shift into black rings or turn into messy, animated scribbles. She also has asymmetrical eyelashes, her left eye having them on the top lid and her right on the bottom.

Her hair is short and straight, usually appearing black but sometimes brown depending on the lighting. This is additionally seen in promotional material and merchandise. Two small pieces stick out from under her hat, while two longer strands frame the sides of her body. Most of her hair is hidden under her headwear, which is almost always her jester hat. During the softball game, she wears a baseball cap instead, showing more of her hair, which looks closer to a bob cut. She is the shortest out of the main cast.

Her outfit is in line with a jester. She wears a jumpsuit with a leotard-styled torso, short sleeves, and short, puffy leggings that extend from it. The torso has an inverted color pattern, with blue on the right and red on the left, which swaps on the back. Her sleeves and shorts follow that same pattern. Yellow accents are spread throughout, including two spheres on the front of her torso, rings on her sleeves, around her waist, and above and at the ends of her shorts. She also has small yellow circles on her shoulders, though they are often hidden by her hair, along with a collar.

On her head, she wears a two-armed jester hat with an inverted striped pattern, a yellow brim, and small yellow bells at the tips. She also wears gloves and shoes, with the left glove blue and the right red, while the shoes follow the opposite color pattern. Both pairs have yellow rings near their edges. In some early official art, her gloves matched her shoes instead, but this was changed in the final version. This design change was made because lead animator Kevin Temmer suggested swapping the color of Pomni's gloves so that they would contrast with the colors of her shoes and her outfit on the same sides as them.
