Tangerine R. Gonzalo, or also known as Tangy by her family members, is the dimensional & time traveling cabblin from the now destroyed Melancholy Timeline. She is the daughter of Fantas Gonzalo and Roxy Gonzalo, mainly the counterparts of them from the destroyed Melancholy universe. She is also Gregory's caretaker after saving him from harm. She made a living in the Prime Universe as both a farmer and a delivery worker at her family's ranch and mostly served her father's role after he became one of the 4 leaders of the 4 main lands of Wowtopia. She specialises in summoning her chrono cubes to fight alongside her and also specialises in using her hammer and cartoony attacks.

## **Appearance**

Like a majority of her family, Tangerine has a cartoony-esque build thanks to being part of the Gonzalo Cabblin Family. Having thin arms and big feet. She also has a flat chest size and has long red hair that's tied up in a ponytail and a red clown nose, which were both once orange before she was revived by the chrono cubes. She also has very sharp teeth. Normally, the teeth is like cat teeth but due to her cartoon logic, she can change the teeth into big razor sharp fangs. She mainly does this when angry. The makeup she wears is red lipstick and dark red eyeshadow.

For her normal attire, she wears a black hair tie, black cloak resembling a poncho complete with sleeves, pockets, a red logo with the Gemini Zodiac written in black and a red collar with addition to a hood. She also has red patterns on the bottom of her cloak that has a futuristic glow to it (this glow applies to every red part of her attire except her grappling hook and gloves), a big red horizontal stripe on her cloak that goes across where her chest is, another stripe going vertically in front of her cloak that resembles a zipper, red gloves, a white jump suit with black stripes all around her body & black heel boots with red accents through the lashes, wrap and lower parts.

For her casual attire, she shows more of her tomboyish side by wearing mostly masculine clothing. Her hair is also more loose now. She wears a snapback with a love heart inscribed on it, a black tank top, a red flannel jacket, black torn jeans and red sneakers.

In her ascension, all the red parts of her colour scheme changes to a hot pink. This includes the chrono cubes too. Her hair is also flowing upwards.

## **Personality**

As a kid, Tangerine was very much scared over anything, making her very paranoid. She spent most of her life avoiding zombies from her dimension alongside Melancholy Nano. Even today, Tangerine is emotionally scarred, especially because she witnessed the death of her parents from her dimension and her weaknesses tends to be these fears, mainly the fear of death. Weirdly enough, besides death, Tangerine has a weird fear for chocolate but it's rather minor. The reason why is because she was scarred by the zombies in her timeline, that had chocolate properties to them due to Melancholy Frewil's copied properties taken from Choconyx.

Tangerine is shown plenty of times of being hot-headed, stubborn and rebellious. She rarely smiles, doesn't listen to most orders given to her and can easily get mad. This is usually something she despises about herself because deep down, she cares a lot about her friends and family. As when she makes a mistake, she always tries to make it up by deeply apologising, even if she won the argument. Despite this, she is shown plenty of times to go berserk, which is met with her head turning red and a cartoony train sound is heard as steam pops out of her ears. She normally calms down if she or someone plays a ocarina that was originally Melancholy Nano's before he passed away. He would play it to Tangerine when she was stressed. Even if it is played badly, the sounds still calm her down.

Like her father, she is notably the romantic type, which is mostly in reference to her shared French accent with her family. She even says French words on occasion. Notably the word "Merde", which makes her seem rather vulgar due to it being a curse word in French. She enjoys watching romantic movies and she has had a long time crush on Nano from her dimension. But the huge age gap likely prevented this. But when she started living in the Prime Universe, which involves her going back to the time her timeline was destroyed but in the Prime Universe, Nano from this dimension is only a year older than her. Leading to her now having romantic interest with Prime Nano.

Tangerine is also shown to be a bit of a tomboy. She's not one to wear very feminine clothing or like very feminine things. In fact, she hates most girly things. However she still wears makeup and most of the shoes she wears are mostly heel boots. She is also notably good at playing the drums. Something addressed when she briefly joins Helga's band.

### **Cartoon Physics**

Something she has naturally due to being part of the Gonzalo Family, who are known to act like cartoon characters that defy physics. Most of the notable things she can do is break the 4th wall, pulling things from out of nowhere (e.g. pulling out her deliveries), extending/expanding her limbs (e.g stamping the ground that makes her leg pop up far away from her) and spinning into a ball to attack.

### **Feline Physiology**

Being technically a cat, Tangerine has mannerisms similar to them. Such as her crawling being how a normal crawling quadrupedal cat would walk, hissing when she is angry and grooming herself randomly by licking her hand. When she does show these characteristics, it's usually shown to be the rather adorable side of her. Though she does this 20% of the time and the 80% is just her being grumpy.

### **Chrono Cubes**

This ability makes up all of Tangerine's arsenal. They are cubes made of time and space that existed in a dimension devoid of time and are the very things that saved Tangerine from death after she was almost erased by Melancholy Frewil's Grim Armageddon attack. They were made by the dragon goddess, Aqua and when they revived Tangerine, her hair and nose went from orange to red and they became a part of her. A notable aesthetic she gains once she gains the chrono cubes is the glitch effects. If she is very angry or being attacked, she gains this glitchy effect that goes around her body, with being attacked being much worse. When this happens, Tangerine's body will briefly spasm and deteriorate into pixels depending on where she is hit. This is likely due to the chrono cubes resembling bits of code, which explains their cubic appearance. Her glitchiness tends to be rather destructive to most things that are electrical but it isn't too harmful. Besides all that, Tangerine can create many things using the cubes. Mainly structures, traps and a weapon.

* **Time/Dimension Travel:** The most notable ability given to her. She can go to any dimension at any time era. However, Tangerine doesn't use this a lot due to her wanting to stay in the prime timeline. She used this ability to escape the Chrono Cube dimension to go to the Cyber Dimension to save Gregory and then finally to the Prime Dimension.
* **Chrono Claws:** When attacking up close without the use of her hammer, Tangerine goes for the close assault by morphing several cubes into swiping claw attacks. She goes for this more often than her usual weapon since they are huge. One attack she uses involves her using her grappling hook to propel herself forwards for a lunge attack using these claws.

* **Cubic Structures:** Tangerine creates structures around her to do things such as wall jumping off them, create stairs for her as she goes and to notably trap her opponent. However the latter can easily be escaped from due to how weak the cubes are offensively. So instead, she only traps them in her ascension, due to time freezing. Besides that, the created structures are only used to move Tangerine around.

* **Clockwork:** The name of the hammer she uses. It's made entirely of the chrono cubes. It works like a actual hammer and combined with Tangerine's cartoon physics, she can do many things with it. Notably spinning into a ball while holding onto it and launching herself directly towards her opponents. This attack is called the "Clockwise Windmill" and "Anti-Clockwise Windmill" depending on which way she spins. With Anti-clockwise rising her upwards and Clockwise plummeting her down.
	+ **Chrono Miracles:** When Tangerine uses Clockwise Windmill to plummet herself downwards, she lands with her hammer being slammed onto the ground. When this happens, a short ranged shockwave of chrono cubes appear in front of her to attack her opponent.
* **Chrono Nova:** A attack where Tangerine attacks rapidly with her hammer. With each connected attack, the opponent slowly becomes encased in a cube. Once the cube around them traps them completely, Tangerine teleports upwards and does a overhead slam using her hammer. This causes the cube to break, causing sufficient damage on the opponent.
* **Chrono Destruction:** Her strongest, yet risky, attack. After transforming into her ascension and teleporting behind them, she grabs her opponent and drags them to the ground. Her body then emits a growing cubic aura and after she furiously yells, she then unleashes the cubic aura into a glitchy explosion. Destroying everything that was in the cube. Besides her opponent being hurt badly, Tangerine also hurts herself badly too. So the move is more of a last resort when she doesn't have any options left. Especially because she is furious when using it.

### **Ascension: Burning Red Limit Form**

Tangerine's ascension. Also referred to as her BRL Form. Everything that was once red on her colour scheme gets turned to a hot pink. When transformed, Tangerine can freeze time briefly and can create a afterimage that follows her every movement. This transformation is mostly activated through her negative thoughts and is merely meant to counter her opponent.

## **Biography**

### **Backstory**

Tangerine was born peacefully by Fantas and Roxy Gonzalo in the Melancholy Universe. Growing up, she lived a happy lifestyle of a farmer. One day, she found a little turtle that she wanted to keep but never got the chance to. To cheer her up, her grandmother, Sunny, made her a plush toy of a turtle, specifically Mr. Turtle. And even to this day, she never let go of this plush ever since. However her life took a turn at the age of 9, where the zombie apocalypse had begun. She would witness her grandmother, uncle and aunts get eaten alive by the zombies, prompting Tangerine and her parents to evacuate from their once peaceful ranch. During evacuation and barricading the door behind them, Fantas and Roxy weren't able to escape due to not fitting through a hole. However, Tangerine could fit in herself and she was told by her parents to go through and leave them behind. Tangerine was crying when she was told to do this but her loving mother says that she shouldn't cry because she will "always be with her here", gesturing at Tangerine's heart. Fantas says to keep hold of the Mr Turtle Plush, as it is a plush Tangerine holds dear to her heart. The zombies broke the door that was barricading her parents. As their last words, they say that they love Tangerine with all their hearts before being eaten alive right in front of Tangerine, prompting her to scream over her parents and crying her eyes out before more zombies slowly approach her. She runs away successfully but was absolutely traumatised over seeing the death of her family. Tangerine will remember this moment for the rest of her life.

She is next seen in a building, hiding from the zombies. Thankfully, the place was locked down very well. The place she spent most of her time hiding is factually the abandoned lab of Kako Terrifang. She would make imaginary friends using many pots and pans found in the lab. She would say some pretty personal stuff to them like how scared she truly is and how much she misses her family. This is mostly how Tangerine would deal with her problems. One day, the lab was suddenly barged into by a person. Tangerine was very scared over the person that she hid herself under the covers of her made bed. This person would find her curled up in fear. Tangerine was surprised to see a non-zombie right in front of her but was still scared. This person introduces himself as Nano Lee Emerald and eventually, he plays a ocarina in hopes of cheering Tangerine up. This surprisingly works and Tangerine opens up to Nano, introducing herself and telling him about what has happened to her. Nano says that he will keep her company as he was actually looking for survivors to protect. Since then, the two have been next to each other for months now. Nano would teach Tangerine to defend herself if anything bad happens and on multiple occasions of her being stressed, Nano would play that same ocarina to cheer her up. It was also used as a lullaby.

Nano and Tangerine, after dealing with zombies every single day. Would eventually find their way to the abandoned Aranea Draco Kingdom. While roaming, they had to keep quiet due to the zombie aranea dracos, as the females are capable of flight. Sadly the silence didn't last long, as Frewil woke them all up just by walking towards the area. Nano would fight the aranea dracos head on while Frewil looms over them. It's there where Nano unlocks his full potential and goes on a rampage, losing himself completely. Nano was done with the zombies but he still beat up their corpses. Tangerine was scared of Nano but was trying her best to tell Nano to stop. Nano hears this and looks at her, running straight towards her while Tangerine attempts to run away but then she gets out the ocarina that Nano dropped during his rampage. She plays it and was surprisingly good at it. However the noises annoyed Frewil. This calmed down Nano, enough to get him to control of his full potential.

He looks up to see a furious Frewil. Nano says Tangerine should stay put while he deals with Frewil. She agrees and Nano flies up to deliver a massive Drillnator on Frewil. After that, Frewil gets the Grim Armageddon out, not knowing what it can do. Nano tries to stop Frewil but it was too late. The slash of the great sword completely erases Nano and rips a black hole that engulfs the world around it. Frewil was sucked into it later, erasing him too. Tangerine would attempt to run away from it but she wasn't fast enough. She was engulfed, along with all of the dimension. Completely erasing it as a result.

Even though Tangerine should of been erased, she is now seen in a black void, crying her eyes out until she finds these red cubes coming out of her. She then immediately noticed her once orange hair and nose are now red. She says that these cubes saved her. Since then, Tangerine grew up most of her life in this empty dimension, discovering her new abilities as a result. The dimension being revealed to be known as the Cubic Void dimension by Aqua, who was interested by Tangerine after she came here. Aqua would somewhat raise Tangerine after this time for several years in the void.

When at the age of 16 to 19, Tangerine discovers she can go through different old eras of time and different dimensions. But not majorly, due to potentially causing paradoxes. She was tasked to look into the history of the prime timeline by Aqua in-between her growing up in the Cubic Void dimension.

* In the Beginning of Time era, she watched over Terios's journey to his eventual corruption made by the Grimdark Staff, to avoid his detection of course. When Terios became possessed, Tangerine would look into the area where the Grimdark was and would find a large gemstone that radiated some kind of dark energy. She wanted to destroy it but she cannot do this because of time paradoxes but she assumes this may be a reason why the Grimdark is corrupted.
* In the Guardian Era, Tangerine would be found in the desert area in the Eastern Land of Harmony where she would watch Gregory, Pyro, Blair and Diesel's journey to save the Genie Khamson from the Grimdark's control. When Gregory and the others left after saving Khamson, Tangerine noticed that Khamson left behind some weird artefact that was radiating some kind of dark energy. Khamson would pop back to snatch it off her immediately, which frustrated her but she knows she cannot interfere with major events. So she just decided to leave this part of the timeline but would bump into Gregory by himself for some reason. He was in a rush so Tangerine ignored him but she had a weird feeling about him. After she returned and informed Aqua, she states that the possessed Khamson was looking for that strange artefact as a way to restore the grimdark's true power when he was possessing Terios, as it's very similar to the large gemstone from the Beginning of Time era that Tangerine found.
* In the Bloodstained Era, Tangerine would Huella's transformation into a lich and her being tasked to fight the first ever Grimdark spawn in the godly realm, who has been terrorising the place since it's exception. After the battle, Tangerine would look and find that same type of gemstone within their chest. She then noticed that the three other lich dragonkin, who helped the spawn, also had these gemstones on their own chests too. She looked closely but was met with Maxine, one of the lich dragonkin, grabbing her and saying that she is aware Tangerine doesn't belong here. Aqua would state that if people are attempting to corrupt the timeline, Tangerine were to take care of the problem. And she does so by smashing Maxine's head down with a hammer, finishing her off. Apparently, this reveals that the grimdark and his corrupted followers are capable of corrupting timelines and these gemstones might be the reason.

With all the evidence she found, it's clear that the Grimdark wants his followers to restore his power by using these dark gemstones. Thankfully, all of this gemstone business ended when Dare was defeated at the end of the Bloodstained era. After all of that, Tangerine was curious about Gregory when she bumped into him. Aqua says he's been missing in the current timeline. That's when Tangerine decided to look for him. This led to her going to the cyber universe, where she meets Gregory, more specifically Prime Gregory, who was taken to this dimension during his fight with Frewil. She saves Gregory from a attack from poachers and introduces herself. Since then, Tangerine took care of the young Gregory as a caretaker, very much like how Nano took care of her.

Tangerine takes Gregory back to his own world in the prime dimension and it's there that Tangerine notices where she is. It reminded her of her world before the apocalypse. She runs into a familiar face after being saved from them when attacked by Grimdark Spawns. This person was the Nano from this dimension; who was now almost the same age as Tangerine due to her going back to exactly where Melancholy Frewil used his Grim Armageddon but in the Prime Universe. After suddenly developing a crush for him, she asks where the zombies and Frewil went, to which Nano says that the only zombies that are here are the friendly ones from the Northern Land of Concept. He then says that Frewil is indeed around and that the heroes are currently dealing with him. Confirming that Tangerine is in a altered timeline of her own dimension. Knowing this, she rushes to her home and find that it's perfectly fine. She knocks the door loudly as it opens up. And Tangerine starts to cry happily as she sees her family, albeit from a different timeline, all alive and well. It wasn't until the family visits the Aranea Draco kingdom to get confirmation if Tangerine is actually a close relative. Knowing this, the family happily welcomes Tangerine home; with Roxy jokingly saying to Fantas that they won't need a kid now. Since then, Tangerine, alongside Gregory, have been living with her family from another dimension and she started to get a job at the ranch as a farmer and a delivery worker. While also fighting as a somewhat anti-hero against this universe's Frewil and his follower in hopes of this universe not going down like her own universe.

Meanwhile Aqua notices this but she left Tangerine alone, as she has a place to fit in and be happy. But she is also aware that Tangerine is involved with the Prime timeline, so her being there corrects it.

## **Relationships**

### **The Gonzalo Family**

For the Melancholy counterparts, Tangerine was raised by them. She spent most of her happy time with them until the zombie outbreak. For the Prime counterparts, Tangerine loves them as much as her own family from her own dimension. As they all retain their similar traits from her dimension. Besides the ocarina being a memento to Nano, the Mr Turtle Plush is a memento to her family from her dimension. She keeps the plush in her room, displayed comfortably on her window. There are times where Tangerine doesn't listen to her family only to apologise afterward even though she was perfectly in the right to disobey them. Showing that she cares for her family a lot and she doesn't want to lose them like she did with their Melancholy universe counterparts.

### **Nano Emerald**

For the Melancholy Counterpart, Tangerine cherished Nano as her caretaker growing up. He acted like a brother to Tangerine and always cheers her up by playing his ocarina. Tangerine was extremely upset seeing him die to Frewil due to erasure but as soon as she went to the Prime Universe, the past has left behind her as soon as she meets his Prime Counterpart. Due to Tangerine going back to exactly when Frewil destroyed the world but in the Prime Universe time wise and already being 19 years old, Tangerine's brotherly feelings towards Nano eventually became romantic feelings. They both interacted with each other a lot of times. 1st is when they met and when Tangerine was assigned to deliver at the Emerald Dojo in the Western Land of Justice. However this doesn't mean Tangerine forgot the old Nano, as she kept his ocarina as a memento everywhere she goes. Plus it helps her calm down.

### **Gregory**

Tangerine is Gregory's caretaker. She took care of him very much like Melancholy Nano taking care of her. This is mainly due to Gregory eternally being very young. He is always seen with her everywhere she goes, acting like a companion towards her.

### Eon

Tangerine first met Eon when delivering ingredients to her. Outside of the whole Citrus Ranch thing, Eon trusts Tangerine due to being good friends with Nano.

### **Helga Terrifang**

Tangerine meets Helga when she saved her after the Frewil incident. She would then meet her again when she was selling her products with her family at the Aranea Draco Kingdom's town marketplace. Helga was interested with her when she played Nano's ocarina as a means to attract customers. Tangerine was concerned over first meeting her and wanted to talk to her somewhere else. It's there where Tangerine says that her mother should of been at the lab to take care of Frewil. This was information she got from Melancholy Nano. But in this dimension, that does happen and it caused Frewil to latch onto Kako instead of absorbing his followers, which confirmed the main reason why everything is so different to her own timeline. Later on, Tangerine would confirm that she is from another dimension and would tell Helga about why she wants to fight Frewil. This moment shows that she trusts Helga a lot. Tangerine later confirmed that the Aranea Dracos are kind of soulless for forcing their royal scientist to take care of such a evil threat, which got the attention of Helga greatly and caused her to barge into the Aranea Draco kingdom for answers. Later on, Tangerine would be part of Helga's band as the main drummer.

### **Sir Cranium and Stephanie Pastel**

Tangerine only mainly knows Cranium and Stephanie due to being the main singer and guitarist of the band she is a part of respectfully. She thinks Cranium is pretty cool for his ability to impersonate anything, which is perfect seeing as he is also great at doing vigorous singing.

### **Choconyx**

Tangerine first met the lazy Chocolate Elemental after getting info from Eon. Choconyx sees Tangerine as a great enemy. As her involvement with chocolate compares with her involvement with fruit. Tangerine despises how lazy she is and she is also confused on how she is over powering her just by doing nothing while her chocolate abominations do the work for her. Not knowing about her Power of Sloth ability. Tangerine's battle with her proved to be very interesting to her, especially considering that this is the fight where Tangerine decided to put the past behind her. At first, Tangerine was scared of her a little bit due to her involvement with chocolate, referring to her being scarred by the zombies of her timeline, which are known for having chocolate properties.

## **Trivia**

* Tangerine is named after the type of citrus fruit since the rest of her family are named after most of them. As well as orange beverages for her father and grandmother.
	+ Her last name is a weird case. Gonzalo is a name used for mainly males that means “Saved From Combat” in Spanish origin. This is suiting seeing as she has traits and behaviours that are masculine (in other words, she’s somewhat of a tomboy) and that the Chrono cubes literally saved her from extinction. The Spanish part however, doesn’t make sense since she shows French characteristics mainly through her accent and her love for romance.
	+ Her middle name, Ruby, is in reference to her birthstone.
* Like several others, Tangerine was designed during Con Air's level 1 college days. She originally was a gender-swapped/Rule63 version of her father, Fantas, who came from another dimension and was originally named “Sunny D”. That name was eventually given to her grandmother. So in hindsight, she was always planned to come from an alternate reality. After that design, Tangerine was making her start in becoming a separate character who is the time and space travelling offspring of Fantas with the only difference being that she originally wasn’t Gregory’s caretaker. She was chosen to be the caretaker lore-wise due to the changes made for the character, Scarab. Who was the former caretaker of Gregory during development.
* Her likes consist of:
	+ Spicy Food
	+ Cider
	+ Chess
	+ The sounds played on Melancholy Nano's Ocarina
	+ Playing the Drums
	+ Her undying love for Nano
	+ Romantic Movies
	+ Romance in General
* Her dislikes consist of:
	+ Rules she thinks isn’t morally correct
	+ Very Girly Things
	+ Frewil
	+ The thoughts of death.
	+ Chocolate (due to being scarred by the zombies from her timeline.)
* A cute little detail seen for her is when she is blushing, Her nose starts to glow, similarly to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. She’s the only cabblin known for doing this with the only logical explanation being that the Chrono Cubes within her make it glow this way. Besides that, it’s just a neat little detail that doesn’t need any further discussion.
* Her outfit takes inspiration on the concept of Cyberpunk attire. As the intention of Tangerine's design is supposed to be futuristic and very high tech.
* Tangerine's personality is based on Helga Pataki from Hey Arnold. Both having anger issues, having a secret love interest for someone that they often hide and both being classified as tomboys.
* Like her father, her design references Ronald McDonald. Only for her it’s more obvious. Through the red hair, nose, makeup and the circle near her chest that has the Gemini logo instead of Ronald’s M.
* She serves as a huge nod to the webcomic Homestuck. Here are the known inspirations.
	+ The Gemini logo on her poncho is based on how some of the troll characters would their zodiac signs on their shirts.
	+ Her resembling a clown could relate to the Capricorn trolls, such as Gamzee Makara.
	+ Her involvement with alternate timelines, especially being part of a doomed timeline, is very much a subject made for Homestuck. The reason why she has these involvements with different timelines is because she is very much inspired by the character Aradia Megido, who has involvements with different timelines. Tangerine's colour theming of red can be seen as a nod to Aradia too.
* Although not addressed inside of Wowlife due to it's minor importance to the plot, Tangerine is the only noteworthy character who is canonically a transgender woman. When she was young, she looked a lot like a boy, having shorter hair and masculine clothing. The latter due to the fact that she is a tomboy, since she still wears masculine clothing even nowadays. There are also hints. The obvious one being that she literally looked like a boy when she was young. Her transition was likely during her time in the Chrono Cube dimension, as when she goes out to save Gregory, her hair is much more longer and cleaner, she wears makeup and even when her past is being narrated, she still goes by the female pronouns as soon as her identity is revealed. Her reasoning for the transition is left ambiguous by Con Air.
	+ Wowlife, being a story that mainly focuses on heroes defeating the villains in a very action packed way, doesn't really need to touch on the identity of Tangerine being a transsexual woman. It is never really mentioned, just hinted. As it is never a important subject to the plot. It's just that she's canonically transsexual. Same can be said for the importance of Susie and Helga's Homosexual Relationship.
	+ Tangerine being a transsexual woman is mostly because Con Air wanted to make a transsexual character and figured Tangerine would be the best fit for this. As it is a reference to her original conception as a female Fantas from another dimension. The idea of her being transsexual wasn't implemented until much recently. So as a result, Tangerine had a different appearance in the "Rainbow Memories" illustration, which depicts most of the characters as children and serves as the main inspiration for what most of the characters would look like as children. Tangerine, in this art piece, is seen as a young girl instead of appearing like a young boy. Con Air does confirm this illustration isn't canon, as not only that Tangerine is seen as a girl here, but the ages of the other heroes conflict with the timeline. As a side note, Tangerine's conception as a young girl can also be seen via her Early Young Render. (See Gallery Below)
	+ Tangerine became a very beloved character of Con Air to the point where he wanted her to be associated with Gregory. When she was given the design change to become transgender, she became even more beloved for being very unique. Making her Con Air's #1 favourite character made for Wowlife.
* Originally, Tangerine’s red hair wouldn’t be achieved until she unlocks her ascension but this was changed to being achieved when she was given a second chance of life by the Chrono cubes. This is mainly for lore reasons. The ascension, visually, instead changes all of the red parts in her colour scheme into hot pink.
* Her glitchy aesthetic is based on a couple on things.
	+ For one, the cubes are based on pixels found in pixelated video games, with the most notable glitch that inspired Tangerine's glitchiness being MissingNo from the Pokémon series.
	+ And secondly, the fact her body spasms around from the glitchiness when she is mad or hurt is based on Vanellope von Schweetz from Disney's Wreck-it Ralph. With how Vanellope does the same thing when she is going through something emotionally too.
* Tangerine's chibi example render references Sonic the Hedgehog's impatient waiting animation from the original classic game, Sonic the Hedgehog.
* Tangerine's outfit and overall appearance is based on Ramlethal from Guilty Gear. With her colour scheme also being inspired by her 7th colour in Xrd and her 10th colour in Strive
* Her spin attacks are confirmed to be referencing Sonic the Hedgehog’s famous spindash and homing attack.
