The main protagonist of the web series ''WebAnimation/MetaRunner''. She is one of many professional gamers who have enhanced themselves with cybernetics, becoming a "[[TitleDrop Meta Runner]]". Unlike other Meta Runners, she has the unique ability to warp into the video games she plays.
This AlternateUniverse version of Tari is different from the character found in [[Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers the [=SMG4=] Bloopers]]: any tropes that apply to that Tari go on their character page.




to:

* ActionGirl: More so than in the [=SMG4=] bloopers.
* AmnesiacHero: Hinted at in the Season 1 trailer.
-->'''Tari''': This place is incredible... but, why does it seem so familiar?
* AscendedExtra: From a side character in Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers to the main character of ''Meta Runner''.
* DropTheHammer: Is briefly seen wielding a pineapple-shaped one in the Season 1 trailer.

-->'''Belle:''' Lux has... hurt a lot of people... [[NecessaryEvil but it's all for the better.]]
