Tang

Tang

the Orange Possum

Impulsive, charming, and always means well.

Tang is the life of the party. Ambitious, charismatic, and just a tad overconfident, he's always up to something — often without thinking it through. This naughty and impulsive nature usually lands him in hot water, but his charm often gets him out. He may act before he thinks, but he always means well.

Tangerine

A sweet and tangy citrus fruit that bursts with sunshine the moment you peel it.


Orange Possum

Possums are expert actors — when scared, they "play dead" so convincingly they can fool almost anyone. Tang prefers a different kind of drama.
