Angry and Red

Kiera and Catalina Schnitz, better known as Angry and Red, are a pair of young former thieves who appear as recurring characters in Tangled: The Series. After plundering the kingdom of Corona, the duo would meet their match in the form of Eugene Fitzherbert and Lance Strongbow, who were tasked with reforming the two girls by King Frederic.
==Background==
While it is unknown how they both met, Kiera and Catalina appear to be orphaned, a misfortune that has forced them into a life of thievery for the sake of survival, though the true motivation behind their thieving ways appears to be their fear of the Baron, whom they once stole from. According to Kiera, the girls have faced rejection and betrayal numerous times from adults, and therefore struggle with trusting others. Because of this, they figure they're better off alone as thieves.
=== Personality ===
Kiera appears to be the leader of the two, and does a majority of the talking. Her upbringing has left her razor-tongued and aggressive, a stark contrast to Catalina, who is far more gentle and open to showing kindness. Despite their differences, both girls are cunning and intelligent for their age, being able to outsmart even the most ruthless and experienced criminals and guardsmen alike.
===Physical appearances===
Since Seasons 1 and 2, Kiera and Catalina appear to be the same age, at least a few years younger than Varian. Kiera has light olive skin and short, black hair with thick bangs curved from the left, while Catalina has pale skin with light brown freckles, green eyes, and red waist-length hair, with both having deep red war paint on their face. Kiera has worn a short-sleeved, grayish-brown tunic, a red scarf around her neck, light brown arm sleeves, black fingerless gloves, two belts at the waist, black trousers, and black boots wrapped with light brown bandages, while Catalina wears a short-sleeved dark brown tunic over a light grey shirt, dark brown arm sleeves, black elbow-length fingerless gloves, a black belt that holds a grey sack, black trousers, and black boots wrapped with dark brown bandages. On her hair is a light blue flower clipped to the side. She also has a slight gap in her front teeth, as shown when she smiles or opens her mouth. During the events of "Vigor the Visionary", it's revealed that Keira wore a necklace with a gold leaf-shaped pendant before giving it to Catalina.
Throughout Season 3, Kiera and Catalina have gone through a drastic change. Kiera's hair has grown a bit and is tied in a small ponytail with a red ribbon, while Catalina has her hair in pigtails and no longer wearing a flower. Kiera now wears an oriental version of her original attire, consisting of grayish-brown, sleeveless tunic over a light grey full sleeve shirt, a detachable collar (with the same red color as her old scarf) that covers her shoulders, dark brown fingerless gloves, a black thin sash-like belt, trousers with red ribbon tied on the left thigh, and the same black boots, while Catalina wears a lighter brown tunic, a black sweater with tan fur around the collar and lighter brown cuffs, an orange sash around her waist, darker brown trousers, and boots with tan fur. She still wears the same necklace Kiera gave her. It is shown that both girls are still wearing the same fingerless gloves from their old attires. During the events "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?", it's revealed that Catalina has the mark of the werewolf underneath her war paint. When angered, her eyes are red and transforms into the werewolf, but eventually calms down to turn back.
===Powers and abilities===
Kiera and Catalina possess no special or magical abilities, making them normal, everyday human girls. They do, however, possess skills in thieving, gymnastics/athletes, as they can jump from one roof to another and are fast on their feet, and escaping, as they are able to free themselves from their handcuffs multiple times.
By the events of "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf?" Catalina becomes cursed with the ability to transform into a werewolf whenever she wants. As a werewolf, she possess incredible speed, agility and strength.
==Role in the series==
===Season One===
In "Big Brothers of Corona", Corona has become the victim of a crime spree. The royal guards struggle to find and capture the criminal responsible, forcing ex-thieves Eugene and Lance to step in and use their expertise to do so themselves. After successfully apprehending the two criminals responsible, Eugene and Lance present them before King Frederic and the Captain of the Guards. Both are shocked to see that the criminals are two children, and contemplate how to punish them as they cannot imprison them. The King comes up with the idea to have Eugene and Lance take the two under their wings, and help them reform to become upstanding citizens. The girls are named Angry and Red shortly thereafter, and though Red quickly grows fond of Lance, Angry is resistant in trusting either, especially Eugene. Desperate, Eugene takes the girls to meet his girlfriend, Princess Rapunzel, believing she'll be able to change the two for the better, as he believes she did for him. Red quickly warms up to Rapunzel, even speaking for the first time. Though Angry silently rebukes Red's decision to let her guard down, she, too, slowly starts to enjoy the time spent with Rapunzel and her chameleon, Pascal. That night, Eugene and Angry have a serious talk about why being a thief is wrong. Angry starts to explain the situation between herself and Red that they don’t want to steal, they are just trying to run away from someone but falls asleep before she can mention the Baron. After Eugene leaves, Angry wakes and gazes through the bedroom window into the cityscape. As she does so peacefully, she spots a familiar shadow creeping through the streets and returns inside fearfully.
The next morning, Rapunzel's tiara appears to be missing, while Angry and Red are nowhere to be found. Thanks to Cassandra, Eugene and Lance are able to track them down, only to find that they've been captured by Anthony the Weasel. Eugene and Lance offer themselves in exchange for the girls' freedom, which Weasel accepts. The two then return to their hideout, where Angry hastily prepares to leave Corona. Red, however, believes they should return, as Eugene and Lance are the only people to have ever looked out for them. Though hesitant, Angry agrees, and they two rush back to assault Weasel and his goons, freeing Eugene and Lance in the process. Eugene then offers the girls a chance to end their lives as thieves, though they genuinely don't appear to be interested in doing so just yet. Eugene nevertheless promises to be there for them when they're ready.
Back in Corona, Eugene and Lance are reprimanded by the Captain of the Guards for allowing Angry and Red to leave free. Eugene also takes responsibly for their crimes, though the guards find that all the stolen riches, including Rapunzel's tiara, have been returned, much to King Frederic's delights, who declares that Eugene has nothing to atone for. Also left behind was Red's flower, and after ensuring that the treasure was found by the guards, Angry and Red board a hay wagon, leaving the kingdom, to continue their travels.
===Season Two===
In "Vigor the Visionary", the girls were walking in the forest when they crossed paths with Madame Canardist, who tells them about Vigor and how he can tell them their past and future. When Vigor grabs Angry's necklace, the only thing she has left of her family, and gives them a fortune which reads "Follow the leaf to find your tree", Angry believes that it means she has a long lost family somewhere. However, because the girls do not have the money to learn more, they decided to "borrow" Vigor. As soon as they do, they bump into Rapunzel and Eugene, who were on a date and met Vigor and Madame Canardist earlier. Eugene berated them for stealing and told them to return Vigor but Angry did not want to yet as it can be her only chance to find her real family. Rapunzel and the reluctant Eugene agreed to help them on condition that they return the monkey as soon as the search is over.
They followed Vigor's guidance through a village of Fortuna, across Snake Canyon, and to a cottage on a mountain pillar. When they come to the cottage, Angry ran in and hugged a woman she claims to be her mother. After Eugene explains the matter, the woman, Petunia, and her husband, William, welcome the girls with open arms. Angry thanks Rapunzel and Eugene as they left the cottage. Unfortunately, the couple reveals themselves to be the Daylight thieves. They hold the girls as hostages and attempt to do away with their friends by cutting the bridge down, sending them down to Snake Canyon. Angry asks why they took her and Red in if they do not want them, to which Petunia replied it is so they will not give themselves away and lose their hideout. The couple then tried to do away with the girls as well, only to be overpowered and tied up. Eugene, Rapunzel, Max, and Fidella survived the fall and managed to get back up the canyon to save the girls, only to find Red besides the tied-up thieves and Angry outside by herself, feeling disappointed. Angry admitted to her friends that she let her hopes of finding a family cloud her judgment. Upon reading the fortune and remembering how they met, Eugene and Rapunzel help Angry realize that the family she has been searching for was already by her side, Red. As they promised, they return Vigor to Madame Canardist but then they disappear without a trace, leaving Eugene to pay her the money they owe.
===Season Three===
The two appear in "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf?", where they are both shown to have grown a considerable amount since last time. They also reveal that their names are Kiera (Angry) and Catalina (Red). Kiera wanted to move to Corona, but Catalina didn't want to leave their treehouse home. As a compromise, their old treehouse was rebuilt as a bigger, cozier place with some of Rapunzel's old paintings as decorations. Red has also been stricken with the wolf curse and can transform into a werewolf at will.
They continue to make recurring appearances and take part in many of Corona's events as well as Rapunzel's numerous schemes, like in "The Lost Treasure of Herz Der Sonne", where they take part of the race to the treasure, "Day of the Animals", where they travel to return the treasures they had stolen as little girls, and "Cassandra's Revenge", where they joined Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal, Maximus, and Lance to rescue Varian from Cassandra.
In the series finale "Plus Est En Vous", Kiera and Catalina are among the citizens who are accidentally sucked into the Lost Realm through a portal that Varian has rebuilt to imprison Zhan Tiri. Fortunately, they are rescued from the realm, along with the others, thanks to Quirin, but the portal is then crushed by debris from Zhan Tiri transforming into a demon. The two girls then join the citizens of Corona and the Brotherhood in the battle against Zhan Tiri (with Catalina transforming into a werewolf when Zhan Tiri grabs her), but they are all weakened by the demon's Decay Incantation. They are later revived by Rapunzel's Healing Incantation following Zhan Tiri's defeat. At the end of the series finale, Lance adopts Kiera and Catalina, who are both thrilled to learn that their new legal last name is Schnitz.
==Relationships==
===Lance Strongbow===
Angry and Red met Lance with Eugene in "Big Brothers of Corona". Lance and Red got along well, but not Angry and Eugene. Lance and Eugene wanted to turn the children's lives around and show them that life is more than just thieving. Over the course of the series, Lance became closer with Angry and Red. Angry and Red stay with Lance while Rapunzel and Eugene go to confront Cassandra in her fortress in "Cassandra's Revenge" and Lance eventually decided to adopt them as his daughters in the final episode.
===Eugene Fitzherbert===
Angry and Red, along with Lance, met Eugene in "Big Brothers of Corona". Eugene agreed to help the girls find a way to live without the life of crime. Eugene did have a closer bond with the girls at first, rather than Lance. Eugene let the girls sleep in the castle and gave them his comb - the first thing he ever stole - as a way for the girls to have something that somebody was happy to give them instead of them stealing something. 
Eugene later reunites with Angry and Red in "Vigor the Visionary", along with Rapunzel. Eugene becomes very concerned for the girls when he feels something isn't right and that they might be trapped, when Angry becomes convinced she has found her family, but the couple they find are not her parents but the Daylight Thieves who are keeping the girls hostage. Eugene cares a lot about the girls and their safety, especially when he learns they have been running from the Baron.
In Season 3, the two girls would accompany Eugene and their friends on various adventure.
===Rapunzel===
Both Angry and Red are respectful towards the princess, but are quite callas when they first meet her in "Big Brothers of Corona". Rapunzel is surprised to see that the Silent Striker is a couple of young girls. When Angry first speaks to Rapunzel, she is shown to be quite judgmental towards the princess and sarcastic, but the girls learn to behave around Rapunzel and respect her more as the series goes on. 
Rapunzel and Eugene see Angry and Red again in the season 2 episode "Vigor the Visionary, Rapunzel and Angry express their excitement to see each other again, before Eugene makes Rapunzel realize she needs to be more firm with the girls as they are in trouble for stealing Vigor. Rapunzel and Eugene help Angry and Red find who they believe are their parents and rescue the girls after realising they are in danger with the Daylight Thieves.
In season 3, Red and Angry spend more time with Rapunzel and their friends in Corona after moving and go on their adventures with Eugene and Rapunzel.
===Varian===
Angry and Red meet Varian in Season 3, sometime after moving to Corona. When they meet him, Angry tends to call Varian V a lot. The two of them help Lance, Eugene and Rapunzel rescue Varian after he was kidnapped by Cassandra in "Cassandra's Revenge" and go on a quest with Rapunzel and Varian in "Day of the Animals". Varian seems to like spending time with the girls, but does point out their hypocrisy about stealing in "Day of the Animals".
