Personal History: Here
Personality: Tangle is a very excitable, adventuruous sort. She mostly lacks the ability to feel intimidated by danger, and when faced with a challenge, she'll not only meet it, but rise to it with gusto. This in turn is a double-edged sword—while she's a heroic character who will leap into battle without a moment's notice, she's also extremely reckless and prone to not looking before she leaps.
It's not that Tangle is stupid (though she can be very bullheaded and miss obvious social cues), so much as she is over-eager and inexperienced. Compared to the heroes of the Resistance, Tangle is just starting her life as an adventurer, and her desire to be the "next Sonic the Hedgehog" or "Miles Prower" will override her common sense and lead to her making brazen and sometimes foolhardy decisions. She can also become extremely starstruck when she meets someone famous, or someone who impresses her. This can result in her getting caught up in her own excitement, and leave her getting injured or overlooking key details during a fight.
That said, one cannot fault Tangle for her big heart. With the exception of individuals like Dr. Eggman and other n'er-do-wells, Tangle is always excited to meet people, including those who have inspired her for so long. This can result in her coming of as a bit of a fangirl (read: much more than just a "bit"). Nevertheless, being starstruck will never cause her to lose sight of what's important, and if nothing else, it motivates her even further.
Her urge to make a name for herself doesn't interfere with her desire to do good, either. Despite wanting to get out and do great things, she's remained loyal to Sonic's group and the people of her hometown, Spiral Hill, basically functioning as the town's protector. She's also self secrificing to a fault, as shown by later instances in canon where she's willing to accept she's turning into a zombot so she can buy Sonic and the others more time. And she's shown her ability to get serious and show a caring side when she learned Whisper's history, both comforting her over her tragic past and helping her to stop her old enemy, Mimic. That said, she can also get so excited, she overlooks things like personal boundaries.
Tangle also has a mischievous side. She enjoys teasing her childhood friend Jewel, and her adventurousness can lead to her getting into trouble as much as it can some kind of grand adventure. She also showed her mischievous side while mildly cheating during a card game with the naive Silver the Hedgehog. What's more, she does let her ego go to her head sometimes; though she's more likely to praise others than herself. She also shares Sonic's love of quips, bad jokes, and taunting her opponents.
CRAU developments: N/A
Key themes: Becoming a hero, friendship, hero worship, becoming more mature (it's happening, just slowly), wide-eyed idealism meeting tragedy, building each other up
Main Motivation: Tangle's main motivation is having an adventurous and exciting life, and doing good where she can.
Skills: Tangle is a scrappy, capable fighter who, if not for her tail, would be an average member of Sonic's world, lacking the special abilities of most of the epynonymous's hedgehog's extended cast. But she has her tail, so she's not. Her tail is highly prehensile, strong, and extend and contract at will, allowing her to use it in a number of ways. She can use it as a rope, a bungee cord, a catapult, or any number of uses that involve making it longer or shorter. Furthermore, her tail is strong and capable of damaging badnik armor, though her inexperience and over-enthusiasm causes her to be ill-prepared for the results sometimes. She can also use it a spring in order to bounce around.
Tangle herself is reasonably strong and athletic, and without her tail, can run, jump, and keep up with the best of them... or at least, "the best of them" that doesn't include a hedgehog that can run at supersonic speeds. Her fitness is basically at its peak for a lemur of her age. As for fighting, Tangle is decently skilled, though, as stated before, her inexperience and exuberance can hinder her some of the time.
