Tanner

Tanner is one of the main characters of CYPRESS: the anime, Pre-Teen Tan and one of Cypress' closest friends. On Earth, he was once a human being who joined his friends in a fight against the Reapers but later on joined Te'a and Dante on a search to find a cure to Cypress' illness, eventually becoming a resident of Astra City. He lives in the Crystal Kingdom, sharing a room with Te'a who has become his girlfriend.

During his life on Astra City, Tanner was known as an Outsider and began to feel lost and distant from Te'a. In order to become a part of the city, King Karma transferred part of his blood within Tanner, eventually infecting him and turning him into an alien (now with blue skin).
