Tari

Turbo Artificial Rapid Intelligence, also known as T.A.R.I. or Tari, is the main protagonist of the Australian adult-animated web series Meta Runner. She is a selfless and insecure girl who didn't really know who she is and that she is an experiment created by more sinister people, so now she is able to warp into video games.
She is voiced by Celeste Notley-Smith.
==Personality==
Tari is a kind, insecure and shy girl, who likes video games and rubber ducks. She is shown to be a pacifist, but is very skilled with weapons such as firearms (most likely due to her prosthetic arm) and she appears to be very danger prone, as she often finds herself getting hurt or in danger.
==Appearance==
Tari wears a blue and white hoodie jacket over her white tank top with her Meta Runner symbol, with brown khaki pants, white and blue socks, and brown sandals. Her hoodie resembles the Blue Jay Bird, it has the design symbol of the Blue Jay Bird's wings on her hoodie shoulders. She has short blue hair, with purple eyes, and blue eyebrows.
In her TAS Corp. uniform, she wears a bare-shouldered, black, white and blue shirt, with black sweatpants with white stripes, and navy blue slide sandals with long socks and blue stripes.
In Season 2 - Ep 8: Soft Lock, she wears her similar hoodie again over her TAS Corp uniform but with a few differences.
Her Meta Runner arm is on her left arm.
