Abridged History

Tangle debuted in the IDW Sonic the Hedgehog comic series, first appearing in issue #4. She hails from Spiral Hill Village, a peaceful place that was disrupted by the aftermath of Dr. Eggman’s defeat and the rise of rogue Badniks.

When Spiral Hill was attacked, Tangle leapt into action to defend it—crossing paths with Sonic the Hedgehog. Impressed by the excitement and heroism of Sonic's lifestyle, Tangle chose to get involved more deeply, traveling and helping out wherever she could.

During the Metal Virus Saga, she played a key role in fighting against the infection and even risked infection herself. She was emotionally affected by the toll the virus took on others, showing that her brave face sometimes hides more sensitive feelings.

Later, she joins Lanolin’s new Resistance-style group and continues to assist in protecting the world, often working alongside Sonic and the Freedom Fighters.
