Name: Chloe Umbra Hedgehog.
((Appearance: At five years old, Chloe is a vision of delicate beauty, a tiny hedgehog with an ethereal quality. Her fur is a mesmerizing blend of deep umber and subtle shadows, giving her a perpetually mysterious aura. The tips of her quills are tipped with a faint, almost imperceptible blue, a subtle nod to her father, Sonic. Her heterochromatic eyes are her most striking feature: one a vibrant emerald green, full of curiosity, and the other a deep, intense crimson, holding a hint of sadness and wisdom beyond her years. Her small stature and slightly unsteady gait give her an endearing vulnerability. She often wears soft, muted-toned dresses, usually in shades of lavender or gray, adorned with delicate lace or ribbon. Her tiny shoes are always scuffed from her tentative explorations, a testament to her quiet determination.))
((Personality: Chloe is known as the "Quiet Toddler," a title that encapsulates her gentle and reserved nature. She rarely speaks, not out of shyness, but rather from a deep-seated sense of introspection. She is an observer, soaking in the world around her with an almost preternatural awareness. Her silence is not empty; it is filled with unspoken thoughts and emotions. She communicates through subtle gestures, expressive eyes, and the occasional soft sound, creating a unique language understood best by her guardians, Sonic and Shadow. Despite her quiet demeanor, she possesses a fierce inner strength and a profound empathy for others.))

((Signature Phrase: Non-verbal— A gentle touch to the cheek, a soft, questioning tilt of her head, or a comforting hand squeeze, each conveying a wealth of emotion and meaning.))
((Trauma Backstory: Chloe's trauma is deeply rooted in the circumstances of her birth. Her mother, a kind and gentle soul, passed away during childbirth, leaving Chloe with a profound sense of loss and a fragile start to life. The silence that envelops her is not just a personality trait; it is a shield, a way to protect herself from the pain of a world that took away her mother. The absence of her mother's voice and touch has created a void that she struggles to fill. Sonic and Shadow, though loving and devoted, cannot fully replace the maternal bond she lost. This early trauma has manifested in her quiet nature, her sensitivity to loud noises and darkness, and her deep-seated need for security and comfort. She often clings to Sonic's leg or reaches for Shadow's hand, seeking reassurance and a sense of belonging in a world.))
Another day, another win for Sonic and his friends: Shadow The Hedgehog, Amy Rose, Silver The Hedgehog, Miles Tails Prower, Knuckles The Echidna, Rouge The Bat, and E-123 Omega They have defeated Eggman again and even for years. Sonic decided to celebrate his victory by relaxing on the roof of his Best buddy's workshop, Tails.
The blue hedgehog rested his body of the warm roof as he fixed his quills and placed his arms behind his head. He looked up at the cloudy sky for a while and closed his eyes to sleep.
Eventually he slowly opened one Eye to See Chloe (an 5 years old Toddler, Sonic's guardian, and Shadow's Babysitter/Best friend) is happily gnawing on her teething ring when she suddenly stopped, her eyes widening. She reached into her mouth with a tiny finger, poking around curiously.
Sonic's Gaze caught Something in her Gums: The baby Tooth Was slowly appearing first which he immediately caught his Attention.
“Whoa Sweetheart, did you get your first Tooth?“ he Said Excitedly, gently cupping her Chin to Tilted to the Side to get a better view.
