Saturday Tanglewood

## Physical information

* Calling the bird a LiFEFORM

## Relationships

**Saturday Tanglewood** is a character in *CRiTORA* and a supporting character in *CRiTORA: Abnormal*.

Saturday is a Dried Tree multi-entity CRiTORA from the Haunted District who ended up in the Abnormal District. They are encountered in the Lightning Lakes, first by  Filmore Hillton and then by  Isaac X-Beetle, not without either of them receiving goosebumps. Saturday is held responsible for breaking down Filmore before  Robin Bobbinboat comes to the rescue, principally due to the tree's size.

Combining the powers of the tree, the crow, and the eye, Saturday escapes the Abnormal District along with everyone else who ended up in there. They, along with  Mirabel Lampacei, return to the Haunted District's Monster Manor; in Saturday's case, to tend the garden and feed the crow LiFEFORMS.

## Description

***"The Dried Tree CRiTORA.** With one floating eye and a small talking bird, Saturday watches over any CRiTORA they trust to ambush ViRUSES with their extendable branches. It's not recommended to call the bird a LiFEFORM, however."*

## Character

### Physical appearance

Saturday's body consists of three parts: a rounded eye with an indigo iris, an oval pupil, and several eyelashes; a grayish brown tree with several sprouting branches and black insectoid legs; and a black bird with an indigo eye, a white beak, and resting on a white nest.

### Personality

*To be written*

Saturday talks through their bird, which can be mistaken for a LiFEFORM if seen on its own. It speaks with a formal, ethereal tone.

### Powers, abilities, and weaponry

* **Haunting Tangle:** Saturday's tree can extend its branches as an offensive and defensive method.

## Story

### *CRiTORA: Abnormal*

Saturday is first encountered at the Abnormal District's Lightning Lakes. Its bird lands on  Filmore, shocking him as he hadn't seen a talking LiFEFORM before. It flies off, looking for something.  Mirabel, however, found the bird familiar.

Saturday's bird reunites with the tree, telling it that there were no lightning threats on the horizon.  Isaac was looking for the bird, unaware of a large eye behind him. The eye startles him before it returns to the tree. Saturday introduces themself to Isaac and makes it clear they are the bird, the eye, AND the tree. They follow Isaac out of the woods.

*To be continued.*

## Development

Saturday was created in 2022 and was intended for the initial version of *CRiTORA: Abnormal*. Their original name was **Wednesday MacAddams.**

In 2023, with the reconceptualization of *CRiTORA: Abnormal*, the CRiTORA had their name changed to **Saturday Tanglewood** due to the original name carrying an extreme resemblance with that of Wednesday Addams from *The Addams Family*, which Saturday is inspired by. They were revealed by Daydreaming Birdie on August 26th, 2023.

### Design

Saturday is based on a dried tree.

Saturday has preserved their design aspects since they were created; in Late 2022, it was given more asymmetry, though, due to LastyGhost's style at the time, they were more detailed. The exceeding details were removed in Mid-2023.

### Name

Their last name comes from *Tangle* and *Driftwood*.
