Tangerine was made (in May/June of 2025) as an experimental design! Orginally meant to be an adopt (hence the gimmicky design), I ended up liking them so I kept them and put them up on my Artfight. I did a major rehaul of my Artfight in the few weeks before july where I refined the descriptions of all my WOF Ocs, so I was forced to sit down and decide on a personality and story for Tangerine.
I ended up making them a pretty self-inserty character? At the time I was thinking a lot about my Autism and Social anxiety, because I was scheduled for an appointment where I would have to talk about that in a clinical setting (which went pretty well!). So I just sort of wanted a character who was like me that I could take comfort in or something? I can't trace my decision making perfectly but it was likely along those lines. Sometimes I use them as a Sona (and it should be noted that I change their pronouns when I do that because I'm not comfortable with she/they for a representation of me) so they've become pretty important to me!
