One thing about Amy's introduction that makes me foam at the mouth and kind of supports my theory that she also grew up on Earth is that she is kind of undetectable.

Sonic could hear Metal coming, a stealth machine designed to kill him almost immediately, so much so that he felt comfortable enough to toy with him. But Sonic didn't hear AMY coming, even though she could have been there watching him long before Metal showed up.

Sonic was the local cryptic of Green Hills for 10 years. He KNOWS how to hide and when others are after him, he would never have been caught if it weren't for the explosion in the first movie. For someone as skilled as Sonic to not notice Amy (neither did the Metal Army btw), she has to be as good or even better at hiding than him and unlike Shadow, she doesn't have any teleportation to be a surprise factor. Amy is just as capable and skilled as Sonic and this scene proved that they will start on equal footing in the movies and I can't wait!

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! I actually never thought about that but it makes a bunch of sense. The fact no one noticed Amy coming HAS to be a result of her knowing how to have good stealth. I’d like to think she’d practice being subtle about her entrances but struggles because of her overwhelming amount of energy. Then later on got better at it through practice and self-discipline by telling herself to get a grip and FOCUS. Amy takes her job seriously and I can’t wait to see it on the big screen.

just wanted to ask on how axyl and essi would look like on zero g. just curious to find out about this. i wonder how they grew up and what jobs do they have now.

HOOHOO I actually do have some really old doodles for both of them

I think I’d probably change both of these a little now but I don’t really feel like drawing new versions of em so im using the old ones for now

Axyl’s design is more inconsistent bc their design is based on myself and it’s weird thinking about the future so im kinda like euegjsurger with them appearance-wise, but as far as their plot goes, their main overarching character development ties heavily with how they feel about themself as a blader, and by the time masters/fury rolls around, whether or not it’s really something they wanna continue to pursue. Ultimately, though it’s a very hard decision to make, they end up retiring as a blader, though they do continue to do some mechanic work, and that’s pretty much where they’re at in shogun steel. Some mechanic stuff but mostly just sticking to themself and doing their own thing. and maybe moving in with Zhouxing and getting a cat and a dog with him who knows the world is a beautiful place really

Essi I honestly don’t really have as strong of an idea for. Her main plot ever since her initial creation way back in second grade was always tied really heavily to gingka’s plot in fusion, so afterwards it’s kinda just up in the air for her. She’d still be a blader and I think she’d probably be traveling the world a lot, maybe helping with restoration stuff, but other than that I don’t really know. She’s kinda just chillin I guess, focusing on herself and vibin as much as she can.

could you elaborate on Essi and Juno's characters and how they are paradoxical? I'm curious, I'm taking any Essi crumbs I can get :D

OKAY SO LIKE BASICALLY I was thinking about some of their more internal struggles and things that they deal with and it’s so like, self contradictory to everything else about them and their personalities and I just find it so fascinating.

With essi, all around her personality is very much in line with a lot of protagonist type characters: she’s very energetic and outgoing, super hardworking and determined, and has her moments of silliness but also being very very cool. The interesting thing is that while she is for the most part pretty confident and self assured, she’s also in a lot of ways insecure. She gets very easily nervous and intimidated by other people, even if she tries her best to hide that and interacts with them despite her nerves, and sure, when she does warm up to people, she’s able to be her outgoing self very quickly, but that initial nervousness as well as the fact that she herself often doesn’t really know just how charming and likable she can be is kinda the cue that there is something more underneath the surface. More than that, when you look at her as a blader, I imagine there’s also some struggle there, because the thing about it is that Essi is a very strong and hard working blader, but she’s still not as strong as some others, and that is a source for some turmoil. Especially when she’s best friends with someone like gingka, it lends itself to a lot of comparison that maybe might not be the best for herself. The other thing about that is that she’s also very isolated in a lot of her struggles, despite the fact that she does have a lot of friends and people supporting her, because she doesn’t wanna be a burden to anyone. A big part of Essi’s character is the she likes to feel useful and helpful and she does a lot to support others, but she really doesn’t extend that to herself a lot and tries to tough out a lot of things she deals with on her own, not even feeling like her problems are really that bad/worth the concern. She’s so contradictory because of all of those contrasting features— she’s confident but she’s also insecure, she’s got lots of great friends but she’s also lonely, even just the fact that she is both strong and weak. Essi is a lot of different things but I love that about her and I feel like it works really well for her.

Juno, among my main four, I feel like is arguably the one who generally goes thru the least turmoil as a whole. She’s got herself pretty figured out. Since I kinda tend to depict her mostly in sillier/fluffier situations, I don’t really talk about some of the deeper parts of their personality a lot, but it’s kinda an important thing when I think about them plot-wise. As with most of my ocs, I don’t really have a concrete storyline for him so much as I do a general arc and progression of his character. The way I kinda imagine it, a lot of his early role would be kinda similar to the way takanosuke interacts with the main gang, in the sense that he’s not an antagonist and actually does tend to get along with the characters most of the time, but their appearances are sporadic and they don’t really tend to hang around a lot. It lends itself to them feeling more cryptic and mysterious, which is kinda the vibe I was aiming for there. A main idea with them though is that their first battle with any of the main characters which does eventually become a longstanding rivalry is with Kite, and I know I talk abt this a lot in a digivalen sense, but beyond that, it’s also what’s initially revealing about their character and that there’s more to her than what initially meets the eye. The idea with it is that juno talks a big talk about getting to know people more deeply through beybattles and revealing more about her rivals and their personalities through the act of communication via bey battle, and for most people, this ends up being a fairly enjoyable experience, but when kite battles her, he realizes one crucially important thing: Juno’s holding back. Kite ends up winning that battle, but it’s not a win he’s satisfied with because he knows Juno wasn’t giving it his actual best effort, and when he calls her out on this, Juno doesn’t let anything slip, still just as cryptic as ever, but does acknowledge him. I actually wrote a short drabble about this a while ago because the idea is so important to Juno’s character.

This kind of thing continues with her for a while, and the thing about it is that while yes, being a blader but not battling people all out is generally risky and weird behavior, but when Juno holds back, it’s not just that they’re not giving it their all, but also that they don’t extend their own philosophy to themself. Juno’s main passion and motivation generally is to understand other people better, to get them to open up and help them understand themselves better as well, and while she is very in tune with her emotions and tends to be a very friendly and empathetic character, he notably doesn’t tend to open up much to others himself. There’s a level of emotional distance that makes them feel unknowable to a lot of people, but that kinda starts breaking down once Kite (and eventually others) start acknowledging that and confronting that. For a while, Juno is content to just getting to know others without opening up herself in the same way, but that becomes very shaky once he’s called out on it, and part of what I think their character arc within the story would be would involve him doing more for himself, which also includes going all out in beybattles more often, not being content to just sit by but actually be a part of it himself. Juno’s real power as a blader isn’t really known for a while because they don’t fully apply themself, but the fact that he can hold his own for so long against strong opponents even without giving it his all is a testament to the fact that she is much stronger than she lets on. She’s so weird and cryptic and hypocritical, I love her sm.

I like the fact that Essy/Private brain remains a zombie forever as if something prevents her from becoming human again

I said this on Twitter/X yesterday and I think I need my dive on this topic. It doesn't need a theory because we don't have anything on it but with imagination we can imagine something.

Will Essy be the first subject of an experiment aimed at turning people into zombies? And where does all this harm end because the product was not ready enough or did not have an antidote? Was she born like that? No idea
