((Trauma Backstory: Alice was found abandoned, alone and vulnerable. The circumstances of her abandonment are unknown, but it's assumed she was left because of her deafness. This abandonment, while not a direct physical trauma, has resulted in an increased sensitivity to sudden changes in her environment. However, the loving care she now receives is helping her overcome this early adversity. She's thriving in her new environment and showing remarkable resilience. Her deafness is not seen as a deficit but as a part of her unique identity. The group is dedicated to providing her with the support and resources she needs to live a full and happy life. They are actively involved in her early intervention programs, ensuring she receives the best possible care and education.))
The Chao Garden, usually a haven of peaceful energy, becomes a source of distress for little Alice. The group is enjoying the afternoon, the air alive with the cheerful chirping of Chao, when a large group of them, drawn by Alice's presence, begins to gather around her stroller.
At first, Alice Seemed fascinated. Her eyes Widened, taking in the colorful array of Chao, their fuzzy bodies and bright eyes captivating her attention. She reached out a tiny hand, tentatively touching one that approached close enough. A soft gurgle escapes her lips, a sound of quiet wonder.
The number of Chao increases, their chirping now a deafening chorus. Alice's face crinkles, her lower lip trembling. Tears well up in her eyes, threatening to spill over. Her tiny body stiffens, a clear indication of her mounting distress. She starts to make soft, distressed sounds, a mixture of whimpers and cries.
The Group: Sonic The Hedgehog, Amy Rose, Silver The Hedgehog, and Shadow The Hedgehog Noticed The Distress From The Baby and Realized what Alice is Afraid of.
