((Trauma Backstory: Chelsea was abandoned as a baby, left on the doorstep of a bustling city hospital in a small basket. The initial period in the orphanage was isolating and frightening, marked by a lack of understanding and communication. She didn't understand why she couldn't hear the other children, leading to feelings of isolation and confusion. The experience left her with a deep-seated fear of silence, associating it with loneliness and abandonment. However, her adoption by her friends (Sonic, Amy, Silver, Shadow, Ruby, and Chloe) transformed her life. They provided her with a loving and supportive environment, helping her learn sign language, adapt to her hearing aids, and overcome her trauma. While she still carries the emotional scars of her abandonment, she's thriving thanks to the unwavering love and support of her chosen family. Her fear of silence remains, but it’s now tempered by the knowledge that she is surrounded by love and understanding. She views her cochlear implants not as a fix, but as tools that help her connect with the world, and her chosen family is her constant source of comfort and connection.))

He sighed, before standing up and crossing his arms. He raised an eyebrow at her.
“Why are you so scared? A little rain never hurt anyone.“ he Signed, Though, his tone was faintly laced with some amount of worry to make sure Chelsea understands due to her Deafness.
