The Diamond Cutters

Tangle 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 persistently try to convince her friends to allow her to help them and prove her skills. Her lack of discouragement is similarly accompanied by a strong sense of hope. It was particularly shown when Tangle got infected with the Metal Virus, where she kept fighting Zombots 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 Zombot 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

Tangle Physical Appearance: Described as pretty, Tangle is a slim yet curvy, anthropomorphic ring-tailed lemur with orchid-purple eyes with dark gray eyelids and one thin eyelash each, a small black nose, and whose fur has a color scheme that leans more to a Coquerel's sifaka. Her fur is light gray, with her muzzle, between her eyes and on her round ears are colored in a darker, silver-like shade of gray, and with her large bushy tail being striped in two shades of gray. Her fur also formed tufts on top of her head, both of her cheeks, and on her chest. For attire, Tangle wears a small, cropped, amber-yellow sleeveless top over a short-sleeved black bodysuit with dark orange stripes on the sides, and detailed amber-colored hi-tops with white shoelaces and soles, black details and dark orange cuffs. She accessorizes with amber sports tape around her forearms, and fingerless gloves made from black sports tape with dark orange backings. In addition to her normal attire, she also wears bonus attires: For the beach, she wears a blue swim top with yellow trim and matching knee length swim pants, white sunglasses with light blue trim, blue fingerless gloves with yellow cuffs and grey palms and yellow water shoes with blue soles. During the Clean Sweepstakes competition, she wore black glasses with orange lenses, a black bodysuit with dark orange stripes on the sides similar to her normal bodysuit, an amber-yellow short-sleeved vest with a high collar, black fingerless gloves with orange trim as well as the Grinder Extreme Gear as her footwear. To show she is a part of the Restoration, she wears a yellow band with the Restoration's symbol on her upper right arm.

Tangle Abilities and Weakness: 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. Not only that but she is also very good when it comes to hand-to-hand combat even known as a brawler, she would throw hard punches at fast speeds as shown when she did so to Mimic when having him cornered as a distraction. Physically, Tangle is very fit and agile, possessing the same level of athleticism as Sonic. According to Mimic, she has some combat skills as well, and with proper training, she could be a formidable opponent. Tangle has steadily proven herself to be talented Extreme Gear rider on her personal Grinder or a bike extreme gear such as the Big Bang. As shown during Dodon Pa's CrossWorld Grand Prix, Tangle is also an expert when driving vehicles like the Hot Hatch. 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

Whisper Personality: In the past, Whisper was excitable and bubbly, much like Tangle the Lemur. Even then, she still took her missions and fights seriously.Whisper also used to be more outspoken, eloquent, and joyful, but due to the trauma that Dr. Eggman and Mimic had caused her by ensuring the demise of her friends, she grew much more silent and reserved. Since then, she has been more shy, cautious, and distrustful of others, preferring to be out of the spotlight and in hiding. In the present, Whisper is also a rather mysterious individual with a quiet and withdrawn personality. Very soft-spoken, she speaks only when the situation calls for it and, true to her name, in a very low volume, rarely uttering more than a few words at a time. She also values her personal space and limited her interactions with others, fearing that if she made new friends, she could not handle losing them too. When in social situations, Whisper usually exhibits a rather bashful side of herself. While Whisper is cautious and mistrustful of other people, she exhibits a strong bondwith her Wisps that is based on trust and friendship, as illustrated by their reception of Sonic persuading her to trust him, and the Wisps' willingness to stand up to Badniks in order to defend her. During battles or missions, Whisper is very focused and determined, preferring not to let her emotions get the better of herself in order to complete her goals. However, confronting Eggman or someone related to him can make her lose her temper and make her very angry. Her personal weakness in particular is the trauma she endured due to Mimic and Eggman. Combined with her unwillingness to be close to others, she is reluctant to share these memories with others and usually requires additional support in order to open up. Despite this, she is a heroic person, ready to save even people she just met, and does not want her friends to feel the pain of losing loved ones like she had. Whisper is very much a lone wolf, so to speak. Keeping to herself, she prefers to do her own thing and work on her own rather than cooperating directly with others. This is illustrated by the fact that while she assisted the Resistance during the war, she never actually joined or even revealed herself to them. Despite this, people like Sonic are able to convince her to come out of her shell and collaborate with others, like when she joined the Resistance on a mission to liberate Angel Island, during which she showed high coordination with her teammates and proved quite helpful to them. Over time, Whisper has grown more confident with her new friendships, which has caused her to reveal her most emotional side in the worst of situations. Still, she tried to act alone, fearing for the fate of her friends should they get entangled in her affairs. Once she realized people were trying to help her and she was pushing them away, she promised to work on moving on from her past and to become a better friend and teammate. This would eventually be true to the point where, during her final fight with Mimic, she would rely on Silver and Tangle to restrain Mimic and keep track of what and who he shapeshifted into, respectively. When Mimic did kill himself, Whisper seemed to have let go of most of her trauma and started to allow herself to be truly happy alongside her friends. A particular quirk about Whisper is that her eyes are squinting most of the time. She usually only opens them in moments of anger, distress or intense worry. This trait possibly diminished after Mimic killed himself, where she opened her eyes and happily spoke at a normal volume in public for the first time in a long while. Despite that, she still often speaks in whispers while keeping her eyes open.

Whisper Physical Appearance: Whisper is a curvy anthropomorphic wolf with biscotti fur that covers most of her body, and brown fur that covers her muzzle, inside of her ears, arms, upper torso, and front torso. She has thick black eyelashes and cloudy white fur around her eyes that resemble a mask. Her eyes are cadet blue, although they are often closed to the point of squinting up due to being traumatized by Mimic until the 79th issue. She wears light gray eyeshadow and has a long, bushy tail which ends in several tufts of fur sticking out in various directions. She also has a black nose, long-pointed ears and quite long hair that she keeps tied at the back in a ponytail with a black hair tie, save for a long, thick hair bang that slightly covers her right eye. Her pointed cheeks are a little fluffy. Her fangs protrude from her mouth which is often in a natural frown. For attire, Whisper wears a cream-colored tube top, light gray leggings, and a dark gray cloak, in which she keeps six Wisp canisters. The cloak also has black and dark gray pockets seen on the shoulders, she sometimes takes off the cloak when off battle. Whisper wears an outfit geared towards combat. This includes dark gray arm sleeves with black elbow pads, dark gray and light gray gloves with visible black claws, and dark gray knee sleeves with black knee pads. She sports military-fashioned black, dark gray, and light gray boots. In addition to her normal attire, she also wears bonus attires:

• For the beach, she wears a white and blue short-sleeved swimsuit with white trim on the shorts, a blue hair tie, a blue and white sun visor, blue gloves with white cuffs and finger palms, and blue and white water shoes with white soles.
• While she was recovering in the hospital after her battle with Surge, she wore a light green hospital gown, a yellow hair tie with an orange stripe and a white bracelet. Notably, she had no gloves; exposing her hands and black claws.
• During the Clean Sweepstakes competition, she wore a black hairtie with a blue stripe, a baggy white and blue jacket with a high collar and a grey zipper, black baggy pants with blue trim and her Wisp canisters are on the edge of her pants and black and light grey sport shoes with white soles. To show she is a part of the Restoration, she wears a yellow band with the Restoration's symbol on her upper right arm.

Whisper Abilities and Weakness: Whisper is a capable fighter. During the Eggman War, her skills on the battlefield were enough to turn the tide of any battle. Whisper is an expert marksman and a master of stealth, able to infiltrate areas undetected and hit distant targets with her Variable Wispon without being detected by friends or foes alike. Her natural aptitudes are further enhanced by her unique equipment. She seems to prefer positioning herself on high perches and snipe enemies from a safe distance, but is able to hold her own in melee combat as well, with or without her Wisps. She has also been shown capable of riding an Extreme Gear. Whisper is also a trained soldier, and thus, has experience fighting in war-like situations. Equipment and weapons Whisper wears a cat-like ornate Concealer, which is cream, dark gray and light gray in color. Three holes are seen at the right side of the mask and a blue "eye" on the left side (though the color of the "eye" can vary depending on which Wisp power the Variable Wispon is using). She uses the mask's scope for targeting. The mask covers her right eye, but enhances her visibility in her left eye. With it, she can make pin-point shots with deadly accuracy. During missions with the Diamond Cutters, it was also networked with other Diamond Cutters masks, and can play back recordings from the perspective of all team members. It also has a built-in translator that lets her understand the Wisps' language.Whisper's primary tool of choice is the Variable Wispon, a customized Wispon that can utilize the powers of more than just one Wisp, thus giving her more options during battle. However, unlike other Wispons which were designed to clear out crowds of robots, the Variable Wispon is designed for precision shooting. During her time with the first Diamond Cutters, Whisper used to use a Rocket Wispon that would accommodate the use of her Orange Wisp, Orange Rocket's, powers as a sniper weapon. Whisper also wears a utility cloak over her shoulders. It stores up to six specialized Wisp canister cartridges within it (three on each side). These canisters hold herWisp allies. Whenever Whisper needs one of their powers, her Wisps will leave their capsules and enter her Variable Wispon. If one Wisp is already occupying the Variable Wispon and Whisper decides to change weapon functionality, they know to switch places. As support for her Variable Wispon's Laser Mode, Whisper carries around a number of octahedron-shaped prisms. By shooting one of these prisms with her Variable Wispon's laser, she can change her laser's trajectory. She can also throw a bunch of prisms into midair, thereby allowing her lasers to ricochet between each prism and create an offensive laser grid. Whisper has steadily proven herself to be a capable Extreme Gear rider on her personal bike-type Angel • Devil during Clean Sweepstakes, her board-type gear the Wispon Booster during Dodon Pa's CrossWorld Grand Prix and Jet's gear the Type-J. Due to the trauma she had suffered from losing the Diamond Cutters to Dr. Eggman and Mimic the Octopus, Whisper's emotions have a tendency to get the better of her, which almost resulted in her recklessly destroying a computer with important information on it in a blind rage. Another example was when she learned of Tangle's infection from the Metal Virus, which made her upset enough to make a fruitless attempt to run back into a town filled with Zombots that could infect her as well in tears for her friend. Whisper's emotions can also cause her to make irrational decisions, such as attempting to assassinate Dr. Eggman or using her Wisps against a Dynamo Cage-wielding Surge. Unless someone keeps Whisper in check, there could be consequences. Whisper's mask scope and Variable Wispon can be short-circuited via a Zeti's power over electromagnetism, which can leave her unable to do anything so long as they are short-circuited. If she so happens to have her mask on or have one of her Wisps inside her weapon at the time, both of them can end up getting shocked

Whisper’s Wisps: Whisper has her own team of Wispcompanions, consisting of Blue Block, Cyan Laser, Green Hover, Orange Rocket and Pink Spike, whom she uses to power her Variable Wispon. Of these, the Orange Wisp, was her original partner when she was part of the Diamond Cutters, and the rest of them joined her later. Prior to meeting Sonic and the Resistance, these Wisps were Whisper's only companions after the Diamond Cutters' demise. According to Silver, they make "quite a team." Despite their role as fuel for Whisper's weapon, Whisper's Wisps treat Whisper as a friend and care much for her. In fact, they are so devoted to her that they were willing to defend her on their own without hesitation when she was at the mercy of some Badniks. Whisper likewise seems to trust her Wisps, enough for her to come out of the shadows when they deemed Sonic the Hedgehog a worthy ally. She is also shown caressing them on a few occasions. Whisper's Wisps have also provided her with emotional support in many situations and repeatedly persuaded her to open up to others and stopped her from making irrational decisions. Whisper holds them close like family and will do anything to get them back if they are taken from her

Lanolin Personality: Lanolin has a helpful and hardworking mindset, as she is willing to do many tasks for the Restoration. She is good at following orders but is very formal about it. As such, Jewel and others have to remind her to not act so official while greeting them. Lanolin also appears to get startled easily, whether it is from Badniks to being called by her boss. She also prefers to make sure she and her group are prepared and have a plan ready before going in for an assault against their enemies, and is therefore easily flabbergasted by the blatant recklessness of heroes like Sonic and Tangle. Lanolin prefers to do things that do not have a lot of risk but is willing to put herself in danger when needed. Lanolin recognizes when others are hurting and is willing to help them out. She has also admitted to having an issue with being bossy. Lanolin is described in that just like Tangle, she was inspired by Sonic's acts of heroism, causing her to join the Restoration. However, she started to grow frustrated in secret over how the organization started to focus on humanitarian efforts and how Sonic and his friends dealt with Eggman, wanting them to focus on dealing with attacks from criminals with a direct approach, instead of waiting for them to strike first. She takes her duties as a new member of the Diamond Cutters seriously. Unfortunately, due to stress with organizing the team, she comes across as cold and abrasive despite having good intentions, such as not checking on her friends' well-being. She also has some difficulty listening to her team, such as not looking into Silver or Whisper's accusations or not having concerns on how Team Sonic's boards mysteriously malfunctioned, as well as having a sense for being stubborn which makes her react poorly to how certain people act. It also caused her to be reckless and not realize this situation in front of her, as she accidentally destroyed a race course and went after Sonic without even hearing an explanation from her teammates. However, after Duo is exposed as Mimic and she realizes that he had been manipulating her, she becomes much less stubborn and more open, apologizing to Tangle and Whisper and admits that she made mistakes and that they might not want her to be their leader. When Tangle and Whisper claim they will still work together to save the people in the event, Lanolin is very grateful. She eventually realizes, alongside Jewel, that what the Restoration is truly about is the people. Afterwards, in a meeting with the Diamond Cutters, Lanolin not only apologized, but showed that, after the fiasco of the Clean Sweepstakes race; she was humbled. Not only did she acknowledge that she only has herself to blame when her own team and boss had no reason to trust her for being easily manipulated by Mimic, but also that her own frustrations blinded her that the Restoration focusing on humanitarian efforts was for a good reason. Not only that, despite having the idea of leading a group; she had no idea how to, now with this experience changing her she wanted to start over with her team on better terms.

Lanolin Physical Appearance: Lanolin is a curvy anthropomorphic sheep with cloudy white wool on her head for hair, a light tan muzzle with a black/salmon nose, and slate blue eyes with light powder blue sclera and two eyelashes on each one. She possesses black/brown pointy and stubby horns on top of her head, droopy medium-long ears with light tan canals, and black/brown hoof stubs for fingertips. She also has a large tuft of wool on her forehead while the rest of her hair is kept in four buns by yellow hairties. • Her latest outfit has her with a black sports bra, orange/yellow tank top, green cargo pants, a brown belt with a golden buckle, brown and tan combat boots with zipper sliders, orange/yellow hairbands, black elbow sleeves, and brown fingerless gloves.* During the Clean Sweepstakes competition, she wore silver googles with purple lenses and a black strap, an orange/yellow jumpsuit with green trim, green fingerless gloves, a black belt held by a silver buckle with similarly designed elbow and knee guards and green boots with black toes, a grey zipper with a silver buckle and soles. To show she is a part of the Restoration, she wears a yellow band with the Restoration's symbol on her upper right arm. For the most part, Lanolin wears a bronze cowbell hanging in a green choker with a gold clip around her neck. She later wears the Golden Bell, her personal custom bell Wispon, hanging in a gray choker with a gold clip around her neck

Lanolin Abilities and Equipment: Lanolin is a well-trained fighter, being able to confront even Whisper, who is a highly trained soldier, in a tussle. Lanolin is also very agile and has steadily proven herself to be talented Extreme Gearrider on her personal Heavy Bike. The Golden Bell worn around her neck is her Wispon. When her Magenta Wisp, Maggie, enters it, the clacker will glow magenta. Lanolin can fire concentrated sonic waves when the bell is struck. The bell can also be rung as an alarm or distress bell.When transformed, ringing the bell releases massive, concentric sound waves, leveling everything in their wake. Directing this attack requires considerable skill and concentration, making it potentially dangerous to a novice user. The Golden Bell can also transform into a loudspeaker

Jewel Personality: Jewel is a well-mannered person with a bright sense of humor and a passion for both minerals and organization. Whereas Tangle is reckless and loud, Jewel is more reserved and cautious. She is also a bit timid and does not like violence, but is still ready to help others as much as she can, sometimes at the risk of her own well-being. However, she easily succumbs to stressful situations, which makes it difficult for her to concentrate and leaves her in need of emotional support. Jewel likes to sort and organize documents, which is why she volunteered to be the director of the Restoration. Initially, however, she lacked faith in her leadership and self-confidence. She felt that despite everything she had been through, she could not help anyone, which included her best friend. With Amy's help, however, she found the confidence she needed in her own abilities. This allowed Jewel to devise a successful plan to extinguish a forest fire at the Forest Ridge Zone Campground, But Jewel also had a moment of frustration. Days after Restoration HQ was destroyed by Clutch's actions, Jewel blamed mostly herself, believing she was never actually meant to direct the Restoration and had planned on quitting, and when Lanolin tried to say she had made the right choice by making the ship crash on Emeraldville Ruins, Jewel yelled in tears it was a horrible choice, which cost everything she build to be destroyed. But thanks to Tangle's comforting words, Jewel changed her mind out about quitting the Restoration and decided to work with Lanolin in making Emeraldville a home again.

Jewel Physical Appearance: Jewel is a curvy anthropomorphic beetle with primarily light blue skin, pink eyes with a long eyelash on each one, a small black nose and a white muzzle. She has an even lighter blue iridescent exoskeleton with a pink, yellow, green, and blue rainbow-like sheen. Her antennae are light blue, while the interior of her wings are cream. For attire, she wears a French pink blazer with two navy buttons, a white cravat attached to a gold brooch with a medium blue gem, a matching french pink miniskirt, white gloves with navy cufflinks, navy tights, and French pink wedge pumps with navy soles. In addition to her normal attire, she also wears bonus attires:

• For the beach, she wears a French pink swimsuit with a white skirt and French pink trim; the suit also has a gold clasp around her neck area, white gloves with wavy cuffs and French pink slippers with white soles.

Jewel Abilities: Jewel has the ability to fly with her wings, as long as her elytra are intact
