keep reading under the cut for more detailed info <3

Importantෆ 

Overall I have 2 ‘timelines’ for her. Her main timeline ties directly to the main anime/manga timeline, in which she ends up shipped with Beerus. 

While the timeline she’s shipped with Frieza directly runs with her Beerus timeline, the timeline splits following the Tournament of Power– where instead of staying with Beerus and her friends all the time, she accompanies Frieza with the Frieza Force.

For organizational purposes, each timeline is numbered. 

Tang’s main timeline, where she is with Beerus is T1.

The timeline that splits off that one, where she ends up with Frieza is T2.

Fun Factsෆ

Her power level is explained by her childhood in the wilderness + training from Tien Shinhan at multiple points through the series to acclimate her power level just below Chi-Chi’s. 

Tang's full name means 'Sugar Sweet' or 'Sweet Sugar'

Her parents' names also follow the naming rule Toriyama placed

Tang is the inventor/creator of the ‘Z-Boosting Cupcakes’ as she calls them, which are an alternative to the food pills Capsule Corp. supplies with extra. Said alternative offers the same kind of boost as a food pill (ie, full stomach, increased stamina, replenished health, etc.) but instead of either a flavorless or bitter food pill, in the form of a sugary sweet cupcake. Each different flavor provides a different power boost type. They kick in quicker than food pills but do not last as long – requiring more cupcake consumption. 

In the anime/manga, she would be nothing but a supporting character. In any game, only an add-on or support type.

Her role in Beerus’ life is both as a romantic partner and unofficial attendant of some sort. Similar to Whis, she lives on his planet and carries out duties to keep the Destroyer God happy. Some examples include the sorts of chores Vegeta and Goku do when training there, as well as cooking and cleaning overall to allow Whis more time to relax. 

With Tang’s role as his ‘unofficial attendant,’ Tang is allowed to accompany Beerus almost anywhere he pleases.

When shipped with Frieza, Tang is simply referred to by the Frieza Force soldiers as 'Lord Frieza's Companion,' and is never supposed to experience disrespect from them.

By Super, Tang has used one Dragon Ball wish. She requests Shenron bestow her with knowledge of every written culinary recipe on earth, but she knows there are recipes out there that are unwritten and unknown to her, which drives her to try to create her own.

Sometime following the Broly Arc, Tang begins to be trained by Frieza in the timeline where she is shipped with him. Her power level in this timeline is undetermined due to how powerful Frieza is and dependent on how much she is capable of as is.

Info For All Timelinesෆ

She doesn’t know who her birth parents are, and from as early as she can remember, she had lived deep in Mount Paozu until a man found her. She’d grow to call him Father, a kind bakery owner traveling through the mountains on a delivery run named Gāodiãn Tian. 

Shortly after Bulma and Yamcha broke up, Tang and Yamcha began to date after he regularly visited her family business. However, a similar fate befalls them when Yamcha’s unfaithfulness becomes even too much for Tang as it did Bulma.

This brings the two women closer, and Bulma and Tang relate with one another. They spend ‘girl time’ together complaining about boys and whatever other nonsense comes to mind.

(eventually, i'll upload the complete list / writing I have for all of Tang's appearances or how the anime would be different with her presence. it's currently being worked on more than halfway through DBS and working backward to DBZ next and then DB.)

Personalityෆ

Positive Traits: Ambitious, Optimistic, Sweet, Respectful, Gentle, Energetic, Playful, Silly, Imaginative, Innocent, Simple, Curious, Supportive, Nurturing, Obedient, Friendly, Wholesome, Generous, Charming, Efficient, Passionate, Affectionate 

Negative Traits: Dimwitted, Naive, Overly-Trusting, Too-Forgiving, Ignorant, Childish at times, Spoiled, Foolish, Gullible, Careless

if you’re hearing SILENCE by MARSHMELLOW playing, you have to know MARIANA VARGAS (SHE/HER; CISWOMAN) is near by! the 33 year old BAKER at BON APPETREAT/HERBALIST been in town for, like, 21 YEARS. they’re known to be quite SECRETIVE , but being ADVENTUROUS seems to balance that out. or maybe it’s the fact that they resemble ADRIA ARJONA. personally, i’d love to know more about them seeing as how they’ve got those MUDDIED HIKING BOOTS AT THE DOOR, TATTOOED ARMS KNEADING DOUGH, BLOOMING GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE LINED WITH HERBS AND POTION BOTTLES vibes. and maybe i’ll get my chance if i hang out around BRIGHTSIDE long enough!

Bio details:

tw: death

Born to an adventurous family, much of Mariana's early years were spent on trips out into the wilderness. She and her brother went to school of course, their time off however was spent on hikes and camping trips. They were known for taking their kids out for weeks at a time, with only the local rangers knowing where they were.

When Mari was 12, one such adventure took a dangerous and dark turn. The family's camp was found ravaged, presumably by a bear and a rescue was mounted to find the family. Though their parents were never found, Mari and her younger brother, Silas (7 at the time) were found miles away dehydrated and bloodied but alive. Mari had no memory of what happened but between the jagged cuts in her side and her brother's account they were certain a bear had wandered into their camp and tragedy struck.

With no family willing to take on two kids, they ended up in the system and were ultimately adopted by the Grayson Young. The transition was a struggle for both of them, dealing with grief and ptsd from the attack. Mari eventually settled in, finding happiness in her new family but Silas never quite adjusted. He believed their mom was out there somewhere, often running away to find her. Over time Mari learned to accept that and stopped trying to bring him home. As much as she had loved her biological parents, she'd had also known the darker side of the Vargas family business, a world she was more than happy to be rid of.

Her adventures were never far behind her, despite the attack and the nightmares and night terrors that plagued her she still went on hikes, even kept up with the yearly camping trip. Between her intrigue over the healing spring and her knowledge of the medicinal properties of plants she often supplements her income at the bakery by offering herbal remedies from the plants she grows in her garden and greenhouse.

Skinner is a Satisfying Bloodbath

The terrifying tale of six internet celebrities who accompany a superstar survivalist on a one-week trip deep into the remote Canadian wilderness...

After their plane crashes, the influencers and their guide are stalked by a mountain man of local legend — Skinner. When the celebrities mount a desperate counterattack, they discover that there is much more to the skinner myth than any of them could have imagined. Will the celebrities survive, or be permanently canceled?

Be honest, if you've ever wished (even privately) for a gruesome end to annoying Instagram influencers or those "reality TV survivalists" who really aren't in any danger whatsoever, then Skinner maybe a blood-soaked dream come true.

The book blends elements of the "survival horror" genre popularized in video games like Resident Evil, with real-life serial killers like Robert Hansen (a.k.a. "Butcher Baker" — who hunted his victims in the Alaskan wilderness), to the perils of internet influencers always looking for the next dangerous and shocking thing to put on their feeds.

A Guide to the Breathtaking Landscapes of North Cascades National Park in Washington

by Paige Guscott Discover the awe-inspiring beauty of North Cascades National Park Washington. Immerse yourself in breathtaking landscapes and adventure..... About North Cascades National Park Washington Nestled in the northern part of Washington State, North Cascades National Park Washington is a hidden gem that boasts a number of breathtaking landscapes. The North Cascades National Park Service Complex, including the national park itself, Ross Lake, and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas, together encompass an area that is truly captivating. Spanning over 500,000 acres, the park offers an immersive experience into the heart of nature. It's a hub of ecological diversity and geological marvels that welcomes approximately 30,000 visitors each year, according to the National Park Service, the organization that maintains all our national parks. Photo by Ryan Stone on Unsplash Northern Section of the North Cascades National Park Complex The northern section of the North Cascades National Park Washington Complex is where the rugged beauty truly begins to unfold. This area is characterized by its steep, craggy peaks, including notable mountains like Mount Shuksan and Mount Baker - both iconic symbols of the Pacific Northwest's wilderness. These towering peaks are not just a paradise for climbers and hikers but also serve as critical habitats for a wide range of wildlife. From the elusive gray wolves and black bears to the majestic bald eagles soaring above, the biodiversity in this region is remarkable. Venturing deeper into the northern part of the park, visitors will encounter the wonders of the alpine landscape. The park is renowned for its extensive networks of trails that meander through lush valleys, over serene streams, and under the shadows of towering ancient fir and cedar trees. One such trail, the Cascade Pass, offers an accessible yet profoundly rewarding hike, providing panoramic views of jagged peaks and glacier-clad mountains that define the North Cascades. The pass serves as a gateway to other remote areas, encouraging those who trek its path to explore further into the wilderness. Ross Lake Section of North Cascades National Park Complex National Park outside of Alaska. These icy giants contribute significantly to the park's dramatic landscape and are crucial for the water systems within the region. Melting glaciers feed rivers and streams, supporting a diverse aquatic ecosystem and supplying fresh water to the surrounding areas. The Ross Lake section exemplifies this intricate relationship between glaciers and aquatic ecosystems. Ross Lake itself is a stunning, elongated reservoir nestled among steep, wooded hills and rocky peaks. A product of the damming of the Skagit River, this lake extends for over 20 miles and crosses into Canada, showcasing the international significance of the park's natural resources. The area around Ross Lake is popular among kayakers, anglers, and hikers who seek solitude and the thrill of exploring the backcountry. Several trails around the lake offer views that are as varied as they are stunning, from dense forest paths to high ridge walks with expansive vistas of the North Cascades. Adjacent to Ross Lake is the equally mesmerizing Diablo Lake, known for its striking turquoise waters—a result of glacial flour that flows into the lake from nearby glaciers. Lake Chelan Section of the North Cascades National Park Complex Lake Chelan, another jewel within the North Cascades National Park Wahington Complex, further highlights the diversity and beauty of the region. This deep, fjord-like lake is one of the deepest in the United States and offers a unique landscape shaped by glacial forces over millennia. Surrounding the lake, steep mountainous terrain covered in lush forests provides a striking contrast to the clear blue waters. The Lake Chelan area is more remote and less accessible than other parts of the park, offering a more secluded experience for visitors seeking tranquillity amidst nature’s grandeur. The lake's northern end is home to the small town of Stehekin, only accessible by boat, seaplane, or foot, which adds to its allure as a remote escape. Stehekin serves as a base for exploring the surrounding wilderness, with access to numerous trails that delve deep into the heart of the park. The area’s isolation has helped preserve its natural beauty and supports a lifestyle deeply connected to the environment. Diverse Landscapes What sets North Cascades national park Washington apart is its diverse array of landscapes and recreation areas. From rugged mountains that challenge even experienced climbers, to crystal clear lakes, there's something for every nature enthusiast. The lush forests invite hikers to wander through trails carpeted with pine needles and ferns, listening to the calls of local wildlife. Exploring the Mountain Ranges Looking up at the North Cascades, you are met with an array of jagged peaks that pierce the sky, some reaching elevations of over 9,000 feet. Among these natural skyscrapers, over 300 glaciers can be found in the park..... Read More... Read the full article
