Tangerine Frequency — Anthro Fashion Character Sheet

The story of Tangerine Frequency

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

Rumi, the bat, hears a soft clicking beneath the music. She thinks it belongs to an old tram crossing, which would place the recording near a station demolished long before she was born. Instead of announcing a discovery, she asks listeners to describe what they remember about the neighborhood around that crossing.

Tavia, the hyena, keeps the phone line open while Kessa, the iguana, repairs the tape deck. Their callers disagree about the singer, the date, and even the words. One remembers a baker humming the tune; another recalls hearing it during a power outage. The hosts begin pinning these separate memories onto a map.

Kessa eventually isolates a second voice beneath the first. The recording was never a polished performance. It captured neighbors teaching one another a lullaby while waiting for the lights to return. Rumi abandons her plan to find one definitive version and invites everyone who remembers a verse to record it again.

The finished broadcast leaves room between the verses for the city outside: tram bells, kitchen windows, footsteps on stairs. Tavia reads the names of contributors who chose to be credited, and the others remain anonymous. The hosts wear their bright studio clothes to a rooftop listening party, where an unfinished melody finally becomes a shared song.
