Tangle the Lemur

## Bio

**Tangle the Lemur** is a character that appears in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. She is an anthropomorphic ring-tailed lemur from Spiral Hill Village and a member of the current generation of Diamond Cutters. She first became acquainted with Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends during the fallout after the Eggman War, having sprung into action to defend her village from one of the Badnik hordes terrorizing settlements across the world. Since then, she has been a recurring participant in the adventures of Sonic and his allies.

## Appearance

Described as pretty, Tangle is an anthropomorphic ring-tailed lemur (with the fur colors for the Coquerel's sifaka) with primarily light gray fur and orchid purple eyes. She possesses one eyelash on each eye, 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 dark 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.

For attire, Tangle wears a short-sleeved black bodysuit with dark orange stripes down the sides, an amber sleeveless top, and detailed amber hi-tops with white laces and soles, black details, and dark orange cuffs. She also wears amber sports tape around her forearms and fingerless black gloves made of black sports tape with dark orange backings.

## History

### Past

Tangle has been a resident of Spiral Hill Village for years. She grew up with Jewel the Beetle, 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.

After the Metaverse incident, between the Eggman Empire and the Resistance ended, Tangle would defend her home village by fending off the raids committed by Dr. Eggman's Badniks.

While dealing with a large and much more organized Badnik attack on her village, Tangle met Sonic the Hedgehog when he came to help save her village. While fighting Badniks together with Sonic, Tangle heard from Sonic that the Badnik gangs had become more organized as of late. No sooner, the two got cornered by multiple Badniks. Fortunately, Blaze soon showed up and joined the fray. After the Badniks had been dealt with, Sonic introduced Tangle to Blaze, whom she thanked for her aid. Upon hearing from Blaze that she had come to Sonic's world to prevent some kind of "terrible event" however, Tangle brought up the possibility that the recent organized Badniks could be a sign that something worse was on the way. After Blaze decided to stay until she knew what her purpose here was, she offered to help Tangle quell the fires in her village. Amazed by Blaze, Tangle accepted her help and thanked Sonic for his help before he left the village.

## Personality

Heroic, optimistic, 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 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 princess from another dimension 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 Terios Empire, where she kept fighting Stone-Bots 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 Stone-Bot 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 & 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 the Hedgehog. 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.

## Relationships

### Jewel the Beetle

Tangle and Jewel the Beetle 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, especially when she is not in the village, becoming frantic when the beetle was kidnapped by the Babylon Rogues and later when she was infected becoming a Stone-Bot.

Tangle would also join the Restoration just because of Jewel in order to show that she wanted to support her. As time passed, however, she realized that she was rarely able to see Jewel, and that she did not like working in the organization. Ultimately, Tangle decided to leave it. Though she initially regretted speaking too quickly and enthusiastically about her departure, Jewel respected Tangle's choice and understood that she did not thrive in the organization.

### Whisper the Wolf

Tangle and Whisper the Wolf are quite the polar opposites; where Tangle is loud and perpetually excited, Whisper is quiet and reserved. Nevertheless, they enjoy each other's company and ultimately became best friends. They first met on the battlefield during the battle for Angel Island where Tangle was amazed at Whisper's skill. The latter would even speak to her afterward and allegedly told her a joke. Tangle liked Whisper so much in fact that Tangle invited her to her village and gave her an enthusiastic tour. At first, Whisper preferred to keep her distance from Tangle, keeping her from getting hugged or placed in the spotlight with her. This was because Whisper didn't want to lose another friend. Despite this, Tangle was very open towards her problems and wanted to help Whisper out at all costs. Even when Whisper ordered her to leave, Tangle persuaded her to share her past with her. After coming understand Whisper's pain, Tangle decided to help bring Whisper peace and avenge her friends among the Diamond Cutters that Mimic betrayed, at all cost. Since then, the two have have become extremely close, to the point Whisper explodes with anger and despair upon learning that Tangle became a Zombot. After Tangle was returned to normal, Whisper lunged at her, touched.

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. Since Tangle was the closest to Whisper, she took it the hardest after Whisper left the Restoration to pursue Mimic after he had broken out of prison. This led to Tangle becoming unusually depressed, remaining in a funk for days afterward.

Eventually, Tangle made the decision to join Whisper, prompting her to leave Jewel and the Restoration. She returned to the Restoration to be a part of a team Lanolin was making with Whisper. To try to improve their bond, she called the team the Diamond Cutters. Whisper took offense to this and distanced herself from Tangle for a while. After Whisper confronted her about it, she apologized and broke into tears saying she didn't want them to drift apart again. Whisper realized what Tangle was trying to do and accepted her apology. She also decided to let them use the name of the team to continue her fallen comrades' mission, which delighted Tangle.

As the one Whisper is closest to, Tangle acts as a confidante of sorts to her and is usually the one to calm her if she is angered. She convinced Whisper not to kill Mimic in cold blood and to give the Babylon Rouges a chance since they helped save the world from Terios Empire.
