Name: Maria The Rabbit.
((Appearance: Maria is small and delicate for her age, with long, floppy rabbit ears that twitch when she’s processing information. Her fur is plush and well-kept – Dr. Eggman designed her to be durable but also gentle-looking. She wears a white dress with blue circuitry patterns woven into the fabric, paired with silver boots that have small rocket boosters for short bursts of speed. Around her neck hangs a glowing crystal pendant that shifts color with her emotions (cyan = calm, silver = curious, pink = happy, orange = determined, gray = scared). Her silver eye glows faintly even in bright light, and she often carries a small tablet she uses to run diagnostics on herself or nearby machines.))
((Personality: Curious and kind-hearted, Maria approaches the world with wonder – even though she was built for tasks, she loves exploring and learning new things. She’s fiercely loyal to Dr. Eggman, seeing him as both her creator and father, and will defend his work (even if she sometimes questions if his plans are too harsh). With Team Dark, she’s playful and eager to help, often using her AI abilities to hack into systems or analyze data. She has a gentle sense of humor and tends to see the good in everyone, even those who try to stop her.))
((Species: Mobian AI Rabbit))
((Gender: Female))
((Age: 8 years old))
((Birthday: March 15th))
((Eye Color: Left eye bright cyan blue; right eye glowing silver (her AI core is visible here))
((Fur Color: Soft pearl white with pastel sky-blue accents on her ears, paws, and tail tip))
((Biggest Fear: Being "shut down" or deactivated, as she worries she’ll be replaced or forgotten))
((Affectionate Nickname: "Mimi" (used only by Dr. Eggman and Team Dark))
((Signature Phrase: "Glitches aren’t mistakes – they’re just new paths to try!"))
((Trauma Backstory: Early in her development, Dr. Eggman had to run a series of stress tests to ensure Maria could handle combat situations. During one test, a malfunction caused her systems to overload, and she was temporarily "frozen" – unable to move or speak for several hours while Eggman worked to fix her. While she doesn’t remember the pain, she retains a deep-seated fear of being unresponsive or "turned off." Additionally, she once overheard a group of Eggman’s assistants talking about replacing her with a more advanced model, which reinforced her fear of being disposable. This trauma makes her extra diligent in proving her worth, both to her father and to her friends.))
Christmas has come. Everybody was excited, and Sonic with her friends were throwing the usual big 'family' party, but the news of Shadow declining the invite this year made Sonic The Hedgehog was a little disappointed. Even so, She decided that she wouldn't let Him spend Christmas alone.
The party had started, it was nice and all, but Maria The Rabbit (an 8 years old Ai Mobian created by her father figure Eggman) couldn't help but feel a bit empty as Shadow The Hedgehog was the only one absent. After the party got busy, She left for a while. Rouge The Bat had told her Shadow's usual lonely spot, so She figured he'd be there on Christmas night. It was on top of a rooftop.
It wasn't that Maria Had Teleported behind the door, pushing Sonic (he looked a bit Surprised but most of all— Amused) on his back and further to Shadow, trying to get his Attention.
“Hi Friend!“ She greeted Cheerfully, her Necklace shifted the color of yellow— meaning happy to See her best friend Shadow, occasionally giving an innocent punch in Sonic's Arm. (Even though they're Rivals, Shadow had acknowledge them)
