Name: Vanessa Faith Sterling.
((Appearance: Vanessa is a petite, graceful child with an air of quiet dignity. Her skin is fair, with a smattering of delicate freckles across her nose and cheeks, giving her a youthful and innocent look. Her eyes are a captivating shade of deep sapphire blue, sparkling with intelligence and curiosity, and framed by long, dark lashes. Her hair is a cascade of soft, golden blonde waves that fall just past her shoulders, often styled in neat braided pigtails to keep it away from her face. She has a small, heart-shaped face with a gentle smile that radiates warmth and kindness. She typically wears simple, unassuming dresses in pastel colors, devoid of any royal adornments, and comfortable, practical shoes that allow her to move freely.))
((Personality: Vanessa is a sweet, gentle, and compassionate soul with a remarkable inner strength. Despite her tragic past and her unique challenges, she possesses a resilient spirit and a deeply empathetic heart. She is naturally intelligent and curious, always eager to learn and explore the world around her, though her deafness often makes communication a challenge. She is incredibly observant, keenly aware of the emotions and needs of others, and always ready to offer a comforting presence or a helping hand. She communicates primarily through sign language and written notes, her expressions and gestures conveying a depth of emotion that words often fail to capture. She is deeply affectionate, especially towards her friends and caregivers, and cherishes every moment of connection and companionship. Her resilience shines through her gentle nature.))

((Trauma Backstory: Vanessa’s life took a devastating turn when she was orphaned at a young age. She witnessed her parents' tragic death in a house fire, a traumatic event that left her not only deaf but also deeply scarred emotionally. The fire robbed her of her family, her hearing, and her sense of security, leaving her with a profound fear of flames and a lingering sense of loss. She was taken in by the Royal House, where her true identity as a princess was kept secret to protect her from potential threats. Despite her royal lineage, Vanessa lives a simple life, attending a regular school and cherishing her friendships, especially her bond with Sonic The Hedgehog, who serves as her bodyguard and closest confidant.))
King Arthur, or as he preferred, just Sonic The Hedgehog, had summoned Lancelot to accompany him on a walk through a forest quite far from Camelot Castle, much to Lancelot's displeasure. But, his king had begged with the most pleading, unreadable face and he'd eventually caved, loving the look on his king's face once agreeing.
The two strolled through the forest along a faint trail for a while, Sonic in front of Lancelot and stepping back and forth along the vague trail to look at the greenery while Lancelot stayed in the middle, keeping an eye out and his hand on the hilt of his sword Around light.
Sonic suddenly fell back in line with Lancelot, and Lancelot moved a little closer to the trees on the right to give Sonic more room beside him. Sonic continued just looking around for a bit before smiling warmly at Lancelot.
