Name: Maya Paige Hedgehog.
((Appearance: Maya is an utterly adorable 7-month-old baby hedgehog, radiating a gentle warmth that draws everyone to her. Her fur is a soft, light-brown color, reminiscent of warm sand, with delicate streaks of lighter gold scattered throughout, giving her a playful and inviting appearance. She has large, expressive sapphire-blue eyes that sparkle with curiosity and a hint of mischief, constantly observing the world around her with an adventurous spirit. Her quills are still soft and downy, not yet fully developed, giving her a cuddly, plush appearance. Maya has a round, chubby face with rosy cheeks and a tiny button nose that twitches when she's excited or curious. She typically wears simple, comfortable clothing, often bright-colored onesies with playful animal prints, and tiny socks that are always slightly mismatched due to her playful nature. She has a small, heart-shaped birthmark on her left wrist, a unique mark that the caregiver cherishes as a symbol of their special bond.))
((Personality: Maya is a spirited and affectionate infant, full of energy and a natural zest for life. She's incredibly curious and loves to explore her surroundings, often getting into harmless mischief and causing playful chaos wherever she goes. Maya is fiercely independent and loves to test her boundaries, often attempting to crawl on furniture and explore new places without hesitation, much to the caregiver's amusement and concern. She has a mischievous streak, enjoying harmless pranks and games of peek-a-boo, often surprising her caregivers with her playful antics. Despite her playful nature, Maya is also incredibly sensitive and empathetic, sensing when someone is upset and offering them comfort with a gentle touch or a soft cuddle. She's still learning to talk, communicating primarily through babbling, gestures, and facial expressions, her eyes conveying a wide range of emotions, from joy and excitement to concern and curiosity.))

((Trauma Backstory: Maya doesn't have a specific traumatic event in her past, but she sometimes experiences moments of anxiety when she's separated from her caregiver, particularly when the caregiver has to leave for errands or appointments. She occasionally gets overwhelmed when she's in crowded or unfamiliar environments, leading to feelings of insecurity and fear. The caregiver is always careful to reassure her and make her feel safe, knowing that their presence is her greatest comfort. They make sure to spend as much time with her as possible, cherishing every moment they have together and creating a strong, unbreakable bond.))
Maya (an 7 Months old) was sleeping mostly peacefully in the crib, when Coldness began creeping into her mind. She tossed and turned, tears streaming down her Cheeks.
Her hands went to cover her mouth a heavily breathing, followed by an slight cough And an Small Milk-stain Vomit on her bed sheets— on her chin and an onesie that caught both Sonic The Hedgehog and Shadow The Hedgehog's Attention from the Living room.
