## Personality

"*You're the antithesis of "look before you leap".*"

—Jewel, to Tangle
Heroic, optimistic, and just as fearless as Sonic, 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 and craves new challenges for herself. 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 adventure makes her reckless and prone to charging headlong 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 getting so caught up in her own excitement that she forgets to watch out for enemies. Tangle is loud, extroverted, and easily 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 the world still continues to amaze her.

As such, she has seen little of the more outlandish subjects that exist out in the world, like a pyrokinetic protector from the future who guards fiery Emeralds. While such concepts 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, much preferring to see the world and experience thrilling adventures. At the same time, however, she admitted to Jewel that she was both paranoid and nervous about leaving her home behind, as the village would be left vulnerable 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 and eagerly returning to it after long adventures. Possessing a strong sense of justice, 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. Notably, Tangle will try to convince her friends at all costs to help them and prove his skills. Her lack of discouragement is similarly accompanied by a strong sense of hope.

It was particularly shown when Tangle got infected with the Metal Virus, where she kept fighting Zombots with an optimistic attitude and even bolstered a despondent Sonic's spirits, as Sonic inspired her to never give up and never lose hope, despite knowing she did not have long before becoming a Zombot 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.

She also has a bit of an ego; after finding out that some local children started a Sonic Fan Club, she told them they should make a Tangle Fan Club instead. According to Ian Flynn, she likes to try to dance, stating that she has the energy and gumption for it, but is not very good at it, as she apparently lacks rhythm.

## 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 for a variety of situations. 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 like a rubber band, 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 and can even use this same method of wrapping her tail around someone or something to subdue them. 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. According to Mimic, she has some combat skills as well, and with proper training, she could be a formidable opponent.

### Weaknesses

Tangle appears to suffer from claustrophobia, causing her to panic when enclosed within small spaces. Her phobia is so severe that the resulting panic has caused her to pass out in the past.

Tangle's main means of combat, her tail, can be exploited against her in many different ways, the most common of which is her opponents grabbing it to make her hit herself or use it to their advantage to slam her into the environment.

## History

### Past

Tangle has been a resident of Spiral Hill Village for years. She grew up with Jewel, who became her best friend. Jewel would constantly look out for Tangle, as she had a tendency to run into danger headfirst. Over the years, Tangle would find several items during her adventures, which Jewel used to curate the Mineral Museum. Tangle is also a regular customer of Spiral Hill Village's salon as she usually buys their brushes to keep her tail neat.
