| “ | It's wonderful to meet you, Jonah. I hope I can be a good friend to you. | „ |
| ~ Angel Gabby after a young Jonah introduces himself to her |
Angel Gabby is the titular deuteragonist of the East Patch analog horror series Angel Hare, serving as the deuteragonist of season 1 and the overarching protagonist of season 2.
At first, she appears to be the protagonist of a Christian children's program called "Angel Hare". In actuality, she is Archangel Gabriel themselves, who served as the guardian angel of the series' protagonist, Jonah, serving as emotional support for him when she became aware of his abusive father.
She was voiced by Stephanie Varens.
Appearance[]
Gabriel has created numerous incarnations in order to more easily converse with human children, as their true appearance seems to be something incomprehensive to mortals beings, being what appears to be a biblically accurate angel with rabbit ears and paws.
While in Angel Hare, Gabby is a white anthropomorphic rabbit with a round head and long ears. She has blue eyes with three eyelashes at the bottom, a big red nose, three freckles on each cheek, and a mouth with buck teeth.
In Wylde Hare, Gabby appears as a pale-skinned woman with platinum blonde hair.
Personality[]
| “ | I'll always be your warrior, Jonah. I hope we'll never have to draw a weapon, but as your guardian angel, I'll always be ready. | „ |
| ~ Angel Gabby, declaring herself as Jonah's guardian angel whilst protecting him from his father. |
She is supportive and caring towards those that she cares for, especially towards the many children she interacts with. However, there are a few instances where she can be openly hostile towards others, though this only appears to be when they prove themselves to be especially despicable, such as with the case with Jonah's father, who regular beat his son at a young age, and left a loaded firearm with him unsupervised, possibly intending to use it to harm someone else.
Despite her nurturing personality, there are times where Gabby is willing to use ruthless methods in order to ensure the safety of others, albeit as a last resort. It was implied that she might have killed Jonah's father in order to destroy his threat permanently, though her means are left ambiguous. Furthermore, it is implied that she may have flooded the municipal building in order to cover the tracks of her and Jonah, causing property damage and possibly endangering innocent people. Despite this, it is made clear that even with acts like these, she has pure intent in mind at all times.
Angel Gabby is also shown to a very dedicated scholar of the Old Testament, strictly following its writings to a tee. At times she can be stern and overbearing, such as in the Easter special, where she gets progressively angered by Francis' occult paintings combined with Jonah making a mess with the eggs, though she is still willing to forgive people for their misdeeds, such as in the Angel Hare's Learning Adventure game, where she forgives Francis after lightly tapping him on the head with a mallet.
Biography[]
Past[]
Prior to meeting Gabby, Jonah lived with both his parents. Back when he was just six years old, he suffered severe physical abuse by his father with the implication that his mother was another victim. Eventually, the abuse caused many notable scars and left the young child emotionally broken, causing Jonah to live in constant fear of his father. Later, he discovered the show, Angel Hare, and met Angel Gabby, who revealed herself to be the Archangel Gabriel and reached out to Jonah. Soon, Gabby learned about Jonah's rough home life and taught him ways to endure his father's abuse. At some point, Jonah's father carelessly left a weapon on the table, heavily implied to be a firearm, causing Gabriel to instruct Jonah on how to disassemble it and hide all the pieces. It is implied that due to this incident, Jonah asked Gabriel to kill his father as she would ask Jonah how she should handle the situation with the father disappearing shorty after. Gabby would then erase Jonah's memories of the incident, allowing him to live a normal life.
Season 1[]
Were YOU An "Angel Hare" child?[]
Jonah buys a VHS copy of Angel Hare, a show he watched during his childhood, out of nostalgia. As soon as it finishes, however, he realizes they were key differences between the copy and the original version he watched as a child. He takes two scenes in particularly. In the first scene of the VHS copy, Angel Gabby is shown introducing herself to the viewer after talking to Francis. However, the original VCR recording shows Gabby referring to Jonah by name and hoping she could be a good friend. After this, Gabby is shown referencing Jonah's favorite book in a later segment. The episode ends with Jonah gaining a new resolve to learn what he can about the show in order to find Gabby.
Angel Hare's Cursed Lessons uncut[]
Jonah begins with research he has done into the show. This is the first glimpse at the show's two versions and the two companies behind them, Wreath of Life and Kieth Publishing. He then proceeds to point out differences between the two. Jonah then shows the two tapes.
In the VHS tape, Francis sits below a tree with a garden of honey after a long rain storm, being sad and cold. Gabby then comes and tries to encourage him to enjoy to beautiful day but Francis is too upset to do so. In response, Gabby uses keywords faith and hope in a lesson on fortitude, causing Francis to feel better. In the VCR recording however, Gabby is troubled as she warns Jonah that the sun, despite its warmth, can be dangerous.
In a different scene, Francis is looking at a river and is dismayed on how to pass. Gabby then appears and provides a new option on how Francis could continue down the path with a new path rather than giving to despair. The VCR recording strays far from the original show as Gabby leaves Francis and flies to her house. She then uses a chair to barricade the door and remarks how Jonah could use it as a lock and key. She instructs him to enter the closet where she states darkness can be peaceful and teaches him breathing exercise to reduce stress. She explains that Jonah can feel safe "even if he finds you". This causes Jonah to realize that he had a cruel and abusive father.
What Big Ears You Have[]
Jonah explains that his mother may have mislead him about his early childhood, explaining that the scars likely came from his father. He then notes that Gabby once again broke character in the show. Immediately showing the VHS tape and not the VCR recording, Jonah shows footage of Gabby interrupting Francis during the lesson and asks Jonah to "nod once if he's not coming back for a while." Afterwards, Gabby leaves Francis to instruct Jonah on how to dissemble an object into pieces, presumably a gun. After Jonah hides the pieces, Gabby dawns the armor of god and hopes to Jonah that she won't have to use a weapon but is ready to do so anyways as his guardian angel. After the footage ends, Jonah wonders what happened to Gabby.
Little White Alibis[]
As Jonah's worry increases, he disregards the craziness of his situation in order to try and search for Gabby, showing the next episode of the show. In the VHS copy, Francis stole one of Gabby's angel feathers and confronts him, saying she's upset about the deception. She asks the viewers whether to forgive Francis or not, citing Proverbs 19. Afterwards, Gabby forgives Francis, much to his delight. In the VCR recording, Gabby is much more harsh on Francis and is even looking scornfully at him. She cites to Jonah Revelations to describe the place prepared for liars and insists Jonah shouldn't lie. Instead she suggests that he should have an alibi for an upcoming event when questioned. Gabby asks Jonah what she should do and agrees to the request without revealing it on tape. Jonah tried to look into it but all the records in the Municipal Building were destroyed by a flood, implied to have been caused by Angel Gabby.
Footage Not Found[]
Jonah is shown arriving to his mother's house to check for clues at his childhood house. As a montage of archival recordings related to child psychology is playing in the background. He finds and collects a box of childhood artifacts primarily related to Angel Hare and finds out about the search his mother was going through in order to find more about Angel Hare, trying to look through Kieth Publishing. Jonah ultimately decides to not press his mother about it and go searching on his own about what happened to Gabby despite not having enough pieces.
A Final Call[]
As snippets of Jonah's time with Gabby play in the background, he slowly realizes that he could get Gabby back by live-streaming the show on the air. After doing so on his laptop, Jonah was surprised when Gabby hesitated to introduce herself. After introducing himself again, Gabby's expression becomes more warm with her animation turning more fluid as she goes closer to the screen, stating how well Jonah grew and holds her hand to the screen. In response, Jonah raises his hand to meet it, having found his guardian angel.

Soon after, it is revealed to Jonah, Zag and Francis that Gabby never left but was instead split across several screens.
Lady Come Down[]
