Trivia
hes kind of shaped like shadow the hedgehog and also i accidentally made his backstory alot like shadow the hedgehog without realizing and i was in too deep to change that. like damn girl you're a failed lab experiment that resulted in almost everyone even vaguely related to your experiement dying and losing your own sister? (well, in xanthos case she didnt die she just shoved him in a box and left him) and your memory has been manipulated? tell me more about your experience playing sonic adventure 2

CONTENT WARNING FOR STORY
Heavy explorations of grief, child abuse, manipulation (although to a lesser extent to DW), gaslighting, torture, murder, isolation, shitty parental figures, parental death, sibling/sibling figure death, gore (no visuals because this is a text explanation), divorce (on positive terms), not actual divorce but god it feels like it (more relevant than in DW), drowning, alcoholism (both as part of another characters (cinders, more specifically her dad), and his own story (cypress gets drunk and yells at him)), ableist abuse (as part of the story of another character (starlight), not happening directly to him), minor cannibalism (its for one scene and isnt even like. on purpose he just panics trying to intimidate a guy and noms on his arm), possesion (penny is a ghost thingy and as a deal she can possess him, she usually uses it with his permission or when hes in ALOT of danger, if that makes things better ???), cults (as part of leo's story), drug usage (as part of leo's story and also mentioned in cinder's mom's story)
Trivia
The better written one out of the two of him, with a more consistent timeline and stuff and i have a better feel for how to write him. Also his main character arc is about grief and guilt and like. I didn't realize it until a later point but a lot of his outfit is given to him by dead people (Ace's hoodie, and P90's hat) and i decided thats the perfect opportunity to throw his moms coat into the mix, but it's tricky to get right so I don't draw it often.
Remember: You can check out his story more in depth here!

DW
Current age: 19
CONTENT WARNING FOR STORY
ableist abuse, a car crash, murder, torture, talks of suicide, sibling abuse, alcoholism (mostly mentioned as part of cinders story, but also shown with micheal), medical stuff/general evil science stuff, isolation, shitty parents, gore (no visuals because this is a text explanation), drowning, internalized ableism, grandparent death, and a whole bunch of the stuff from xantho's story.
Trivia
I didn't originally intend for them to become a character, mostly just a nobody that xantho spares from the lab, but I realized having a character of xantho's age he could talk to would be interesting. And then i got attached to the funky rat because of course i did. i love them!!! they have one of my favourite designs out of all of my characters. I also unintentionally gave them really good symbolism by making them a rat i just did it because saying "cat and a rat" repeatedly was fun, and i just got finished with mad rat dead, but like. i think it works!! first of all in terms of their own story: rats are social creatures, in some places you cant get a rat without getting multiple of them, and a large part of their story is the isolation and how it effects them. second of all: in terms of their relationship with xantho - but mostly from his perspective. he thinks hes going to hurt them somehow - cats hunt rats, don't they? he even blames them trying to get closer to him on toxoplasmosis. obviously if this was a real situation i would not be putting a cat and a rat together, that is a one way ticket to heaven for the rat, but like i said its symbolic to how xantho sees their relationship when it first starts out, rather than it being anything literal.

CONTENT WARNING FOR STORY
ableist abuse, a car crash, murder, talks of suicide, isolation, shitty parents, gore (no visuals because this is a text explanation), alcoholism (mostly mentioned as part of cinders story, more specifically her dad, but also shown with michael) drowning, internalized ableism, and a whole bunch of the stuff from xantho's story, granparent death
Trivia
Their story was actually pretty easy to translate to rw, i just had to remove the evil science stuff! I don't have much to say here, the stuff about rat symbolism from DW's trivia section is pretty much the same, except xantho has a lesser fear of hurting them this time - its still there, just lessened. theyre also when me giving characters clothes to resemble animal ears when i couldnt give them animal ears became a trend, i already did it with xantho but then i just went ham lmao
i will eventually create their page let me get to it

RW
Current age: 19
CONTENT WARNING FOR STORY
murder, torture, alcoholism (from her dad), drug use (as part of her moms story), abusive dad, gore (no visuals because this is a text explanation), drowning, cat death, not-too-great relationship with her sister (eventually fixed because xantho shoves them together and forces them to talk), and a whole bunch of the stuff from starlight's story, as well as some from xantho's, loss of control over the body (she has some control over her werewolf powers, and it's mostly by her will when she transforms, but in certain cases - usually if its a full moon- she will lose control over her ability to transform, and if she transforms enough she loses control of herself completely.)
Trivia
her werewolf symbolism has nothing much to do with her relationships with other characters, but i guess you could say she starts the story as a lone wolf?? anyways she was created because i wanted to give starlight more friends than just xantho, and also because werewolves are cool as fuck. she was originally planned for DW but then i ended up writing her in RW and forgot to do anything with her in DW.
DW
I havent written her DW story yet, it's going to be pretty similar to her RW story, probably.
i will eventually create her page let me get to it

CONTENT WARNING FOR STORY
i cant say much for now, because i haven't gotten far in actually writing her story, mostly some vague concepts, but there will be: mentions of cults, transphobia, and drugs
Trivia
i made her as a pun on coyote latrans. because shes trans. and a coyote. and then realized she could fit in with the band pretty well! despite real life coyotes and wolves disliking eachother she and cinder have no issues with eachother. i promise i'll get to her story one day.
DW
Ive barely written her RW story what makes you think i have a DW story planned.
i will eventually create her page let me get to it
