Name: Kiki Faith Hedgehog.
((Appearance: As a 6-month-old hedgehog, Kiki is adorably small and round, with soft, peach-fuzz fur covering most of her body. Her fur is primarily a light cream color, with tiny quills just starting to sprout along her back in a slightly darker shade of tan. Her eyes are large and expressive, a vibrant emerald green that seems to sparkle with curiosity. Due to being born deaf, she wears a small, custom-fitted hearing aid in her right ear, a gift from her late mother. The hearing aid is a soft, pastel blue, shaped like a tiny star, and doesn't seem to bother her at all. She often wears a soft, hand-knitted bonnet in various pastel colors, made by Sonic, to keep her head warm. Her tiny hands and feet are pink and delicate, and she loves to grab onto anything within reach.))
((Personality: Kiki is a cheerful and inquisitive baby, always eager to explore the world around her. Despite her deafness, she's incredibly observant, using her keen eyesight and sense of touch to understand her environment. She's naturally trusting and affectionate, showering her uncles with gummy smiles and enthusiastic gurgles. Kiki has a determined streak, often persisting until she figures out a new toy or skill. She's also quite empathetic, easily sensing the emotions of those around her and offering comfort in her own babyish way, like patting their cheeks or snuggling close.))

((Gender: Female))
((Age: 6 Months Old))
((Biggest Fear: Loud, sudden vibrations or the feeling of being completely alone in a dark, unfamiliar place.))

((Fur Color: Light Cream with Tan Quills))
((Birthday: April 17th))
((Affectionate Nicknames: Sonic calls her "Ki-Ki," "Speedy Bean," and "Little Blue's Echo" (in memory of her mother). Shadow begrudgingly calls her "Kit," "Little One," or simply "Hedgehoglet."))
((Signature Phrase: As a baby, it's more of a signature sound A high-pitched, questioning "Eeeee?" accompanied by wide eyes and a head tilt.))
((Trauma Backstory: Kiki was born deaf shortly after her mother, a close friend and partner of Sonic and Shadow, died during childbirth. The loss of her mother and her hearing impairment are the foundational traumas in her young life. While she's too young to consciously understand the loss, the absence of her mother's presence and the reliance on a hearing aid subtly shape her interactions and development. Sonic and Shadow, now her guardians, carry the weight of this loss, which influences their protective and sometimes overbearing care for her.))
The sky had been painted in hues of orange and pink as the sun began its slow descent. It was one of those rare, peaceful evenings in Mobius, and Shadow The Hedgehog and Miles Tails Prower found Themselves leaning against the Tail's tornado, arms crossed, waiting for Sonic. A road trip wasn't exactly your idea of fun-especially one to visit Sonic's family. But for whatever reason, the blue hedgehog had asked them to tag along. They never would have pegged Sonic as the type to give two cents about where he came from-let alone royalty.
Sonic's form whirred from afar to suddenly appear right in front of you, skidding to a stop; a smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth. He looked different from his usual happy-go-lucky self. There was a trademark cockiness, but beneath this calm exterior, he almost seemed Nervous. Probably the thought of meeting his family-his royalty, at that-ended.
“Yo, Shads! Ready to hit the road?“ he asked, but the casualness in his tone made They think he wasn't as ready as he tried to sound.
While Kiki (an cute 6 Months old infant) was laying on Top of Shadow's Quills, drooling a bit— much to his Amusement.
