Tangerine is a former member of the New Moon, introduced in The New Moon Rises. His weapon of choice was Sunburst, an umbrella that can create magical shields.

Appearance
Tangerine was a tall and skinny man with short light orange hair swept sideways, dark blue eyes, and a tan complexion with freckles. He had visible freckles on his face that was often kept neutral looking. he usually wore a blue unbuttoned button down shirt which was long sleeve but he often rolled up the sleeves a small bit, wears long brown shorts that go slightly past his knees, and wears brown sandals. On more formal and colder occasions, his shirt is buttoned up and he wears brown dress pants with black shoes.

Personality
Tangerine was a quiet individual, keeping to himself most of the time. In fact, many of his words were replaced with actions such as head nods and etc. Tangerine was very caring, and respected those he fought with. He would look after his injured peers and protect them in battle, even going the distance of sacrificing himself for his allies to continue in their goals.

Tangerine seemed to hang around Melanee above all New Moon members, Dakota even believing they were in a relationship. Melanee has stated that he was her best friend, and that he was a great person to spill her thoughts out to.

Tangerine loved to cook and bake, this being a favorite pastime of his. He was not that vocal about this interest, as no one noticed his request to cook dinner on the New Moon's journey to Havenwood. Allegedly, Tangerine had also burnt down Opal Vale once due to whatever he was trying to cook.

Past
Tangerine was born and raised into a wealthy family in a kingdom south of Aestagia; this kingdom was Valeon in a peaceful seaside town named Harlech. He had many brothers and sisters and his life was lavish. Tangerine, like his siblings, was on the track to become a part of the family business in the future.

Tangerine as a child was quiet and serious, and not many knew what his thoughts were. He was often disconnected from his siblings and whenever possible, explored his town and studied lore and tales from history. He admired his ancestors who were great warriors and over time began to despise his boring family. There was no glory and wealth by sitting in riches. As he grew older, his parents had high expectations of him, and when Tangerine was 15 years old, he refused to cooperate with his pre-determined future. His parents abandoned Tangerine on the streets, but he took with him a stolen heirloom, a ornate umbrella. Naming it Sunburst, Tangerine took to reviving the warrior heart of his ancestors and created a small band of warriors from the region, Tangerine leading with courage and bravery. They made themselves known in the region and they were approached by Lawless outside of the major Valeonic city of Fennanwy, who promised them glory. Lawless told Alizarin that Tangerine was the longest standing member that Alizarin had met.

Sunburst
Sunburst is an orange parasol with yellow glyph designs that is Tangerine's weapon of choice. Sunburst can be used as a club, but it's most useful ability is its orange shields. Transparent orange plasma matter can be released from the top of Sunburst to create shields in any shape or form. Tangerine has used this ability to make platforms, barriers, or spherical shields around himself.

Tangerine has once used Sunburst to dispel several beams of orange light from its top that scattered the area. By doing this, the surrounding area lit up with brightness, being able to nullify Reiko's shadows. Sunburst's abilities are all powered by the sun.

Melanee is the current holder of Sunburst. She took it off of Jomei after seeing that he was responsible for Tangerine's death.
