This page is about the Tides of Chaos version of the character.For the original version, see Coral Tea.

**Coral Tea** is a female wildcat referenced in the *Tides of Chaos* series by SonicChaosEmerald. She was the younger sister of Corazon and the older sister of Carol.

Her backstory is based off Ziyo's original idea, with additional information by Zerodius, who also helped proofread the fanfic.

## Appearence

Coral Tea in the Tides continuity shares a lot of design points with the rest of the Teas, primarily in the trademark green fur to the Tea clan, although in Coral's case her fur is a closer to a mint-green. Her outfit is primarily similar to Carol's with the main difference being her outfit basically be all black compared to Carol's black and green color scheme.

## History

Coral, according to Carol, was the "greatest thing to come out of [their] family". Carol not just looked up but was also jealous of her big sister, even lashing out on and insulting Coral because of that. Feeling sorry instead of mad, Coral promised to train Carol, so that she one day becomes as strong if not stronger than her. They would secretly train in the woods nearly every day, in private as their mother wanted them has to learn for themselves. When their mother found out about it, Carol was kicked out of the family. Following an argument because of that, Coral chose to leave on her own accord, and the two joined the Red Scarves.

Two years before the events of Freedom Planet, Coral and Spade were tasked with retrieving documents relating to a Kingdom Stone replica, and finding the scientist who stole and planned to auction them. Coral fought and defeated the scientist on a station above the planet. Knowing the danger of the replica, and despite knowing it would be suicide, Coral destroyed it, causing the station to crash down. She didn't survive the station's impact, making Spade the only one to come out alive of this mission. The mission was classified and as such, no outsiders were ever informed about it.

### Legacy

Neige, a close friend of Coral, left the Scarves after find out about her circumstances.  Coral's sacrifice as well as Carol's involvement in the Brevon Crisis, both overshadowed by the dragons' presence, further fueled Corazon's hatred and was the catalyst to her plans to eradicate them.

In the epilogue of *Tides of Chaos*, Natalya would tell Lilac and Carol about Coral's status and demise. She would also give them a gift from Coral; two long red scarves she originally intended for the two to wear once they reach a certain rank in the organization.

### Comeback of the Century

Three years after the events of Tides 1, during the events of Phantom Wars, effects of the Ruby's dimensional overlap start to take full force as Coral is sucked in from her fall at the end of her suicide mission and spat out in the air above the caverns of the desert-choked Green Hill. Realizing her plight quick she re-orients herself and lands feet first into the stomach of a phantom copy of Zomom, causing the Chaos Emerald to spit out and smack Cyclone straight in the face. Reunited with her sister from this universe, Coral joins forces with Carol, Cyclone and the group and set out to save both worlds from the grips of Tiangou and the Phantom Ruby.
