you are ready to claim you're place as king of landonia and you are the new title of hedgehogs and you are SIR HEDGEHOG THE GRANT AND BEYOND and people would respect you and you are going to meet Tangle the Lemur the love of you're life and you are going to face new challenges and you can do it you'll make you're parents so proud. Tangle came about when the staff at IDW Publishing wanted a kick-butt female Sonic character who could accompany Sonic on his adventures. Since none of the main female Sonic characters were able to fit that occupation, Tangle, who would be able to easily go on Sonic's adventures and look cool while doing it, was conceptualized.[8] She was conceptualized by writer Ian Flynn, while artist Tyson Hesse handled the character design.[1]

Before even being given a name, IDW wanted Tangle "to be like a lot of other great Sonic characters and have a special ability tied to one of her features."[9] She was ultimately inspired by the prototype Sonic design. One of the concepts for Sonic was a rabbit that could use his ears to pick up and throw objects,[8] and as such, she was originally pitched as "Tangle the Hare".[10] After brainstorming for animals who could do cool stuff with their features such as bendy rabbit ears and anteater type noses,[11] the staff decided on a ring-tailed lemur, whose tail could prove a very versatile weapon. Finally, she was given the name "Tangle" as a reference to how she likes to "tangle" with bad guys.[
