Rouge the Bat has a counterpart character tag named "Tan_Rouge."

In it, she is depicted with darker than average skin, as if she were of a different ethnicity. She can also be found through the "dark_body" or "dark_skin" tags. I tried applying those two tags to find an alternate ethnicity Nick Wilde, and while results came up, the dark tag refered to Nick's "fox gloves" which are dark, but Nick remains orange. I was wondering if we could create a general tag to refer to characters who are depicted as a different ethnicity. Understandably, this subject is sensitive, so the wording needs to be thought out. As characters that are depicted as a different species have the "alternate_species" tag, "alternate_race" was my first thought; I also thought of "alternate_ethnicity." Do either of these tags work? Is there a better way to word it?

Tan Rouge should be aliased to Rouge the Bat. We don't use different character tags when the character is portrayed differently, unless it's an official alternative depiction.

Ethnicity (or "race") are rather difficult to consider when we're dealing with fictional characters and fictional settings. Rouge is Mobian, changing her skin color doesn't necessarily change anything else about her.

You can use alternate_color color for that.

create alias tan_rouge (0) -> rouge_the_bat (23817)

Reason: An unnecessary tag as Watsit explains above. Rouge_the_bat + alternate_color should be how they're tagged, but we can only alias a tag to one other tag, not two at a time.
