Tari is a major protagonist of the Australian adult animated web series SMG4 and one of the two tritagonists (alongside Luigi) of the 2020 animated film SMG4 Movie: Meggy's Destiny. She is a cyborg girl and pro-gamer who is friends with SMG4, Mario and the rest of the gang. She was introduced during The Waluigi Arc.

She is voiced by Celeste Notley-Smith.

Roles
She is a major character in Season 8, the tritagonist of The Waluigi Arc, a major character in The Rapper Bob Arc, a major character in Season 9, the tertagonist of The Anime Arc, one of the two tritagonists (alongside Meggy) of Season 10, a supporting character in The YouTube Arc and a major character in Season 11, The SMG4 Movie: 10 Year Anniversary Special and the Genesis Arc.

Appearance
Tari wears a blue and white hoodie, brown pants, white and blue socks, and brown flip flop sandals. She has a metal left arm, blue hair (with a fringe covering her right eye, similar to Lilyncookies and Rosalina), purple eyes and pink cheeks. Unlike her Meta Runner counterpart, it is not explained why her left arm is made of metal.

Personality
Tari is a nice, insecure and shy girl, who likes video games (e.g. Super Smash each other in the ass Bros.) and rubber ducks. She is shown to be a pacifist and often tries resolving problems with words rather than actions. Tari is very skilled with weapons such as guns, but is not very athletic and seems to have low stamina. She appears to be very danger prone, as she often finds herself getting hurt or in danger.

Tari seems to be a quick thinker, as shown in The Mario Purge, where she and Saiko Bichitaru attempt to fend off the Teletubbies with a makeshift Molotov, or in War Of The Fat Italians 2018 when she attempts to save Mario and SMG4.

However, Tari's execution of these ideas usually fails due to her clumsiness. She was gullible enough to fall for Bob's lies in SMG4: Mario and the Bob Mansion..., though she did question why none of the Mushroom Kingdom locals ever had one of Bob's ancestors for a president. Despite her shortcomings, Tari is very friendly and was able to become fast friends with the majority of the cast, even with Saiko, her foil.

Tari shows her obsessive and possessive side in her first appearance in a Christmas special, being extremely eager to get a rubber duck. Saiko of all people is freaked out by her behavior.
