## Appearance

Tari is a young slender woman of average height. She wears a dodger blue and white hoodie styled to represent a blue jay, with brown khaki pants, and black fingerless gloves, while also having a metallic left arm. She wears plain white socks with dark blue heel and toe patches, and brown flip-flop sandals on top.

She has fair white skin, silky and short neon blue hair in a flat, disheveled neck-length cut prominently styled with a collection of hair acting as a fringe to cover her right eye, similar to Lilyncookies and Rosalina, with black eyebrows, tropical indigo eyes, and pink cheeks.

Unlike her *Meta Runner* counterpart, it is not explained why her left arm is bionic. It is shown that the arm can be removed in one video of SMG4. She also has sandals with socks on underneath.

## Personality

Tari is an innocent, insecure girl frequently prone to hyperactivity who is a fan of video games, rubber ducks, and cats. She is shown to be a pacifist and often tries resolving problems with words rather than actions. Tari is very skilled with weapons such as guns, but is not very athletic and seems to have low stamina. She appears to be very accident-prone, as she often finds herself getting hurt or in danger. She is also really polite and non-confrontational, as she constantly apologizes for every mistake she has made. She is very peaceful, as seen in "Mario and The Diss Track" when she disagrees with the idea of hitting Bob Bobowski with a baseball bat, alternatively suggesting to the gang that they challenge Bob with a video game instead. However, if she is somehow fooled into thinking that a weapon is harmless or that she's playing a video game, she can do serious damage before she realizes what going on.

Tari can be seen as gullible and somewhat naive, as shown in "Mario and the Bob Mansion..." where she was gullible enough to believe Bob's lies about Thanksgiving, or as he claimed it, "Bobsgiving". Tari liked them and believed them to be educational. Though she may be gullible, she can at least know a consistency in something depending on the extents used to make the lie, as she questioned why none of the members of the Bob tribe became president if the pilgrims worshiped them. Her realization was so relative to the crux of his first story that Bob had to change the subject to a fake Christmas story instead, and she believed it too. Her gullibility and somewhat naivete was also shown in "SMG4 Christmas Special 2020" where she believed Bob (dressed in a Santa costume) was Santa Claus. In "Mario goes to the dentist", she believes Swagmaster6969696969 when he tells her that the gun he gave her shot gum, causing her to shoot her friends' car, leading them into a car crash, which enraged Tari as she realized that Swagmaster had lied to her, also showing that she hates being manipulated only after the consequences come to be. Apparently, she also trusts Mario to the point where she believes that Mario is a real dentist and trusts that he can treat her teeth properly. As a result of trusting Mario, her teeth *explode*. Despite her shortcomings, Tari is very friendly and kindhearted, and was able to quickly become friends with the majority of the cast, even with Saiko Bichitaru, her foil. She is also extremely sensitive as it is easy to make her upset or cry. This is shown in "The Splatfest Incident", where she bursts into tears right after Fishy Boopkins calls her "a very bad friend". This sensitivity is further explored in "The Big Bad Bully", and as indicated by her involvement in the episode, Tari can become weak-willed and unable to stand for herself against people who antagonize her by stealing her favorite possessions, resulting in her having bouts of crying and going into a deep depression. However, her sadness can be somewhat dangerous if someone were to see her like that, as shown in "War Of The Fat Italians 2019", when SMG4 stole her duck, she is able to make him feel guilty about his actions so much that he died from a heart attack. Due to her naivete, Tari ends up causing destruction and harm to others without realising it, which her innocence and social obliviousness is also responsible for, as her desire for cute things causes her to appear creepy to those of outside context, and if she is not perceived as creepy for it, then she is taken instead with contempt, sometimes to the extent that others sometimes have to bring attention to the consequences of the attitude she directs towards said cute things.

Though Tari primarily takes non-violent approaches towards any conflict she is a part of, she is shown to still be a fan of fantasy violence, whether it is gory or not, as she is also shown playing game franchises such as *Dark Souls* and *Grand Theft Auto* where the violence itself is controlled or created entirely by the player. She also convinces Saiko to play *Super Smash Bros. Melee* with her by taking note of the fact that it has violence in "The Mario Purge (Halloween 2018)", showing that she is aware of this trait of herself. Nevertheless, the true reason for Tari possessing this self-contradictory trait as well as being aware of having it is currently unknown, it can be presumed that it is an indication that there is more to her moral spectrum besides being a pacifist, and that under the rarest circumstance, she can be willing to fight against someone physically and succeed. What with her having a relative interest for fantasy violence, she is also blissfully ignorant to the result of general destruction whether she is causing it or not, and is willing to ignore the responsibility of the restoration of something under an official service whether or not she intends to for the sake of her own interests, which are half-in-half gaming-related during the time of ignorance. This means that in spite of her being a pacifist by intention, Tari cheerfully and obliviously causes and ignores destruction more than she prevents it, gets involved in violent events or topics following the same procedure, or has her priorities directed more by her personal interests than her pacifistic ideals.

She has shown to be even more cowardly than Luigi on several occasions. "Mario goes do the dentist" reveals that she has never been to the dentist in her life and she tried escaping her inevitable checkup multiple times, even getting on the edge just by watching other people peacefully waiting for their turn. After her experience with Mario, who was pretending to be the dentist after he accidentally killed the real one, she ran off with Swagmaster to escape to Mexico, where there would apparently be no dentists. In the end, she is still forced to go to the dentist, and all she could do was cry. In later videos, she seems to be less shy and less hesitant to engage in dangerous activities, as shown in "Food Wars", where she participates in the war against fried food and candy with her being on Team Candy, but she seemed to appear a little guilty when they temporarily chased Team Pizza away. She is also more a lot more sociable as she's more willing to make friends compared to her earlier appearances, where she doesn't like being in places with a lot of people and tries to avoid meeting new people.

Tari has an obsessive side, demonstrated in her first Christmas special, being extremely eager to get a rubber duck. Saiko, of all people, is freaked out by her behavior. This side of her is once again shown in "Stupid Mario 3D All-Stars", when SMG4 summoned her by squeezing a rubber duck, ultimately bringing her out for a purpose. This is also shown in "Mario goes to the dentist" where Saiko coerces Tari to return to the dentist after escaping, with the intention of never coming back.

Tari seems to be a quick thinker, as shown in "The Mario Purge", where she and Saiko Bichitaru attempt to fend off the Teletubbies with a makeshift Molotov, or in "War Of The Fat Italians 2018" when she attempts to save Mario and SMG4 on her own using only the Rejection Controller and her Expert Mode, and succeeds, not only saving the aforementioned, but the victims of the T-Pose Virus too. Among the main cast members besides SMG4, Tari is the second most competent and level-headed, the first being Meggy Spletzer, as while she may not be good at physical fights, she can use her head for far more valuable reasons than SMG4. This is most prominent in "🌽🌽🌽🌽𝓒𝓸𝓻𝓷🌽🌽🌽🌽" where she instructs everyone not to tamper with the belongings of the person who owns the farm, and she also demands everyone to clean their own mess up to make it the way it was before, unlike the other two characters she was with at the time who only caused more chaos rather than less. Though she can be shown to be one of the most competent cast members, evidence of this is rarely actually shown, as most of her time on-screen uses her less competent side, such as her primarily gullible and accident-prone foibles. In fact, this less competent side of her shows up more often than the more competent side. Sometimes the reasons for her demonstrating herself this way is because of a reason that would typically make someone seem competent compared to the average person, like the time she demonstrated to Mario that gaming requires serenity through feeding ducks in a pond, ending up in the conflict of one trying to bite her instead due the nature of the SMG4 universe, as well as the countless moments when she insists for people to focus on something. By all means, she is actually correct in both of those regards. Additionally, among the cast, Tari is more often than not playing the role of the voice of reason and indifference, usually not being a direct participant of most chaotic events in the series, instead only witnessing them or otherwise accidentally being a participant, and occasionally tries to call out to her friends' conscience in order to prevent further chaos, though no one ever really listens or otherwise the chaos has reached the point of no return.
