Tari was born in 1998 as the daughter of a successful video game developer and a division head of a computing company. As a result, she was raised up rich with both her father and mother being a millionaire. However, she had a severe disability: Her left arm was not developed. As a result, she was mocked by kids at Kindergarten of her disability. Since the old Nintendo Government only let students with extreme disability, like those who have severe mental problems or lost all 4 of their limbs to be in special schools, Tari went to a normal school like most others.
In 2003, when she was 4 years old, her father gave her a very special birthday gift: A mechanical arm. She used it to her advantage, and when she went to grade school aged 5, she proudly show her classmates the arm, which made everyone laugh out as that means she is disabled. That explained why she is insecure and shy now as she was mocked by her classmates.
Time flies and it is now 2011. SMG4 has just started making videos, while Meggy was still in Year 6. Tari is now a 13 year old teenager and she began to develop a love for professional gaming. Her parents actually supported their daughter as she had determination to be the best e-Sport player in the country. And so as a result, her parents payed for the first of her 3 metal arms-CybArm I was introduced only a few months ago, and Tari's parents bought her the arm to let her accelerate further in her life.
She got an upgrade in 2015 when CybArm II was introduced. This time however, she payed part of the funds for her new arm, although it was just 2% of the price, it was still worth it...for another 2 years. In 2017, a revolution occurred which saw the re-balancing of the power of Monarchy and Parliament, as for the last 105 years, the government was tilted heavily towards the Parliament. Tari joined one of the protests in the lead to the revolution, which led to an event called the Aubergine Massacre where 62 protesters were shot to death, with over 400 more injured. Tari was one of them and she saw her metal arm torn off by the soldiers of the army. After the incident and the end of turmoil, she re-installed CybArm III, which was introduced earlier that same year. Thanks to insurance, Tari got the arm installed for free, and the metal arm had introduced a holographic screen. She also received a microchip implantation, as her brain was damaged by the bullet shot. She was already 19 and after the revolution, her e-Sports career kicked off.
In 2018, Tari got her final modification of her robotic arm. The modification upgraded her metal Arm from CybArm III to CybArm IV. The modification included a new hologram interface, and a new gaming device that Tari added herself. It also made the metal arm more similar to the real human arm, as it can now detect pain. She met Mario that same year and joined the SMG4 gang shortly after. Now a 22 year old woman, she is great friends with Saiko and Meggy, and all 3 enjoys gaming together. Now that's the backstory of Tari, why not check out the others?
