Tangle the Lemur (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Tangle the Lemur is a character that appears in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of the Sonic Underground television series, emigrated from the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. She is an anthropomorphic ring-tailed lemur from Spiral Hill Village and a heroic ally of Sonic the Hedgehog, King of Mobius. She first became acquainted with Sonic and his friends during the restoration of Mobotropolis.
==Appearance==
Tangle is an anthropomorphic ring-tailed lemur with primarily light gray fur and purple eyes. She possesses a small black nose and a long bushy tail with gray stripes. She also has gray fur around her muzzle and between her eyes, and gray fur around the sides of her eyes and on her eyelids and round ears. She also has extra fur on top of her head and chest, and small cheek tufts. While this article shows her with her appearance from the original IDW comic series, in the Sonic Underground reboot she is redesigned to be more in line with the Sonic Underground art style. She is often described as quite pretty.
Tangle wears a short-sleeved black bodysuit with dark orange stripes down the sides, a yellow sleeveless top, and detailed yellow hi-tops with white laces and soles, black details, and dark orange cuffs. She also wears yellow sportstape around her forearms and fingerless black gloves made of black sportstape with dark orange backings.
==Personality==
Heroic and just as fearless as Sonic the Hedgehog, Tangle is scrappy and loves to tangle with bad guys. Not intimidated by danger in the slightest, she has a thirst for adventure and excitement. As such, she is capable of heading into mortal peril and face deadly odds, all while wearing a smile on her face and having the time of her life. However, her desire for adventures makes her reckless and prone to jump head-first into danger without a care in the world. She can also be somewhat careless in battle, like using her tail in a way that gets it injured and focusing more on cheering than watching out for enemies.
Tangle is loud and excitable, but also friendly, polite, helpful and open. While having seen and overcome her own fair share of challenges in the form of Badniks, she is a novice heroine, and has thus seen little of the more outlandish subjects that exist out there, like a pyrokinetic princess from another dimension who guards fiery Emeralds. While such signs tend to leave her speechless, she is nonetheless quick to be amazed by them. Whenever she sees or reflects on something exciting, she tends to get starry-eyed. When reacting to a sudden sound or event, the hairs on her tail stand up.
Because of her outings with Sonic and other heroes, Tangle grew bored of her life at home in Spiral Hill Village, and would grow hyperactive staying there since she could not stand the peace and quiet. She later admitted to Jewel that she was both paranoid and nervous on leaving it behind, as the village would be left defenseless without her and that she would not have anyone to watch her back. Despite her newfound boredom, she remains loyal to her hometown and has gone through with staying when necessary and ensuring its safety despite how she felt.
Tangle is more than willing to aid her friends in any way that she can even when she is denied. This was shown when she persisted on helping Whisper out in bringing down Mimic, even though the lone wolf rejected her pleas to aid her, a trait of which caused Whisper to note that Tangle could not be discouraged. This lack of discouragement was shown even further when Tangle was infected with the Metal Virus, as she kept fighting Zombots with an optimistic attitude and even bolstered a despondent Sonic's spirits, despite knowing she did not have long before becoming one herself.
Tangle has a bit of a mischievous side to her. When she played cards with Silver, she would deliberately try to mess with him while using her tail to peek at his cards. Tangle also has a bit of an ego. For example, after finding out that some local children started a Sonic Fan Club, she told them they should make a Tangle Fan Club instead.
==Powers and abilities==
Tangle's main draw is a highly prehensile tail that she can use and manipulate in various ways as if it was a third arm. In practice, her tail can whip, snap, grip, curl, and even make a hand to form a fist with. In addition, her tail can extend and contract at will, thus allowing her to wield it as a rope, a bungee cord, a slingshot, or even a pully for herself. By curling it up like a coil, Tangle can also use her tail like a spring to bounce around. It also has enough strength to dent Badnik armor with a single strike.
Physically, Tangle is very fit and agile, possessing the same level of athleticism as Sonic the Hedgehog.
==Relationships==
===Jewel the Beetle===
Tangle and Jewel have been best friends since their childhood. Jewel would always be there to look out for Tangle and make sure she did not fall into perilous danger. Tangle has become very grateful for Jewel's friendship as she feels lonely without her. Tangle also gets very worried when Jewel is in trouble, becoming frantic when the beetle was kidnapped by the Babylon Rogues.
===Sonic the Hedgehog===
Tangle has been described as a "kindred spirit" to Sonic the Hedgehog, namely their skill and enjoyment in battling their enemies, as well as the confidence they share in doing so. Even after meeting for the first time, the two were able to synchronize with each other in their battle against multiple warriors.
===Miles "Tails" Prower===
Tangle first met Tails during their fight against Neo Metal Sonic. They started out as good allies and slowly developed into having a brother-sister relationship. Tangle has been continuously impressed by Tails' intellect and has thus been trusting of his various endeavors and inventions. She has also been supportive of Tails emotionally, such as when she checked up on him after Sonic disappeared. Tails has been appreciative of Tangle and has shown similar care towards her.
===Whisper the Wolf===
Tangle and Whisper are quite the polar opposites. Where Tangle is loud and excitable, Whisper is quiet and reserved. Nevertheless, they appear to enjoy each other's company. Whisper enjoys Tangle's kind heart and her eagerness to make new friends. Tangle simply enjoys new friends regardless of their personalities and Whisper is no different. She appreciates Whisper's bravery and her initiative to look out for others. Due to her shy nature, Whisper does not like being put on the spot by Tangle, finding it a bit insensitive on her side. Whisper initially preferred it when Tangle did not invade her personal space with hugging, but after growing closer together, she has opened up more to the idea and has even been the one to hug her first. When Tangle was infected with the Metal Virus, she knew Whisper would be hurt and sent Sonic to apologize for her.
As the one Whisper is closest to, Tangle is usually the one who talks her down when she is angry, convincing her not to kill Mimic in cold blood.
===Zoboomafoo===
Tangle instantly became friends with Zoboomafoo when he and the Krat Brothers traveled to Mobius from their Earth. She offered him and his family lands on Mobius so they can have a second home.
==Trivia==
*Tangle likes her chili dogs with a spread made of garbanzo beans. She also likes sweet potato fries and guava.
