Tamires Morena Lima de Araújo (born 16 May 1994) is a Brazilian handballer for CS Gloria 2018 Bistrița-Năsăud and the Brazilian national team.[1][2]

Born into a sporting family, her sister Monique is a Brazilian national champion in weightlifting, who also participated at the 2013 World Weightlifting Championships.[3]

Morena Lima initially began with athletics, but a handball coach noticed her height and strength, and saw potential in her in handball. She eventually chose handball and rose through the ranks quickly.[3]

In 2013, she was part of the Brazilian national team that won the South American Championship and a year later she went triumphant with the junior national team at the 2014 Pan American Women's Junior Handball Championship.

She signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Győri ETO KC in December 2014.[4]
