Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

What was VI’s journey like? Like when did she realized that she was Trans? 3. How does her father feel about her gender identity? 4. Did she really get a sex change? If so how old was she?

U don’t have to answer if u don’t want to. I was just curious about all of it

ofc i'm happy to share my of Violet's backstory! happy pride woohoo

Violet found out she was trans fairly young. just a little bit after graduating the knd cadet program. there wasn't a single moment that made Violet realize it, exactly, more so a feeling that gradually grew inside of her as she trained under other female operatives that she really looked up to. these operatives also helped her transition, acting as big sister figures to her. she thinks about them a lot

her dad is, like with most things regarding Violet, seemingly ambivalent to her gender identity. he maybe made a few comments when she first began growing her hair out, but when she started wearing skirts and presenting explicitly femininely, he dropped the topic altogether. he doesn't call her by her preferred name, but she probably never even told it to him in the first place. they rarely directly address each other.

one night, though, as Violet was returning from a shift at Moonbase, her dad drunkenly called her over to bring him a glass of water. when he saw her, he squinted, frowned a bit, and muttered, "you look just like your mom."

he talked to her even less after that. Violet pretends not to think about it often.

as for gender affirming surgery, Violet is a minor with limited resources at home, so it's very unlikely a surgery like that would be accessible or reasonable for her. that being said, i don't have an explicit answer to your question, as realism can be a really tricky thing when you're writing an OC in a kid's show lol. Violet exists in a universe with fountains of youth and delightfulization rays. there is a canon character who's gender is changed by magic candy. so, in a world as fantastical as KND, i personally don't see the need to think too realistically on what a teenager's physical transition journey may look like, if that makes sense!

thanks for asking! as a treat, here is a baby Vi early on in her transition learning how to tie her hair back:

Finishing a piece, I've been working on of Geminitay as an assassin from Assassin's Creed.

Besides Numbuh 10, are there any kids in the KND that Numbuh 143/Sophie is or was close to? Canonwise/Non OCs.

During her early years she was close to Sector Z, because they were her assigned mentors before being assigned Sector CL-V. And because of that she was also close with 362 (because in my AU Rachel is Alessandra's little sister), though after their disappearance, Rachel and Sophie didn't talk that much anymore, only for official matters. I will admit that I haven't thought to much about her KND years, so, I don't know who else she was close to. Probably some of the nerds. After her betrayal, she became close to Numbuh Rebecca, who got help from her splinter cell to escape the amish life. And she now helps running a help center for operatives who ran away but don't want any part on anything TND, Rebel, or Ninja. Oh, and she is also a rock in the shoe/was somewhat of a secondary mentor figure to Bartie (n35) and Virginia (n23), who were closer to Violet, but she wass still relatively close

Thanks for the question!

She made this for me as a commission. Basically my version of the KND Villain Prom Queen with Stacey, Cree Lincoln, and her OC Violet Dau sunbathing at Prom Queen's pool. It's summer, so wanted a KND teen pool scene.

Bugtoonz did very well on the character designs, love how she designed the swimwear for each girl to reflect part of their personality.

If my KND AU and Bugtoonz's KND AU crossovered:

Prom Queen would have Stacey be her apprentice. Miko Ryuke (Prom Queen) was Cheer Captain for McCormick High School till her Senior Year when she wanted to focus more on her boyfriend, Teen Tornado, and the Teen Ninjas. She would have picked Stacey to succeed her as Cheer Captain. Both girls have similar personalities, but Miko can play nice and hide her maliciousness and more negative traits better than Stacey, from what I've seen.

When it comes to Cree, both respect each other. Probably friends, though no super close. Prom Queen probably wasn't happy Cree chose to become Father's apprentice and train under him instead of coming to her after Cree defected. Might see Cree trying to upstage her in the future but she has safety measures in place in case anyone tries to overthrow her teen rule. Miko also isn't too keen on how Cree treats her little sister through can understand not being easy on a KND operative. Miko has a much better relationship, right now, with her little sister than Cree has, right now, with Abby.

With Violet Dau, Prom Queen sees her similarly to how Stacey sees Violet. However, Miko is more respectful of Violet's different tastes compared to Stacey, I believe. She doesn't know Violet is in the TND, though Violet can't slack from playing her role around Miko because Prom Queen is very observant. Any crack in Violet's role, and Miko would notice. Another crack, and Miko will start to investigate. Though Chad would have warned Violet already of that. Violet might also see Miko's massive wealth and luxury with hidden distaste given her own homelife. Though, despite some issues, can see both girls forming a descent friendship and actually enjoy each other's company, though not close.

Sophie and her mentors c.1998

When Sophie entered the KND there was this program for new operatives, where established sectors would take them under their wing to train them and teach them the ropes before they got assigned to their own post.

Sophie was lucky to be assigned with the amazing and super duper cool Sector Z, obviously before they disappeared during the Junior High Rebellion of 1999.

Not my drawing, @numbuh143 drew my OC Numbuh 73/Elise Septem as a commission. Thanks again for drawing Elise, she turned out great on your end. Love the ear rings you gave her.

Sophie is a good friend of @bugtoonz. Recommend supporting both artists in their projects and art.

If Elise and Sophie were in a KND AU crossover, I say both would become friends over both being in the TND, plus bonding over shared like for Time Space and the Continuum and bashing Chad. I say Sophie have a little easy time hanging out with Elise then Violet Dau does at first. (If all three were in a shared KND AU). Elise would be a teen social outcast due to rejecting brutally Chad and Cree's offers to join the Ninjas and helping the KND on Chicken Pox Island before she was recommissioned. Sophie, depending on how her story went, might not need to be in the popular crowd, unlike Violet, so wouldn't mind being with a Kid Ally like Elise. Sophie's 'friend' Alice/Numbuh 12 might have issue with Sophie hanging out with a teen 'traitor'. But I think Sophie would come off as not caring about that. Alice/Numbuh 12 might get a little bit hostile towards Numbuh 73 because Numbuh 73 chose the opposite of what Numbuh 12 chose and hate that Elise makes her feel guilty. Maybe even some jealously as well.

[numbuh143]

Thank you Gray for trusting me with Elise!

Just a correction, Sophie is a KND traitor. She is part of a teen rebel group that believes themselves to be the TND because they splintered off the real one long before Sophie joined. So, she is not a teen operative, just a teen traitor with megalomaniacal delusions.

Nitpicking aside. Really thank you for the commission! And, if anyone is interested, my commissions are still open!

Art isn't mine but commissions that @bugtoonz did for me with her OC Violet Dau/Numbuh 81 and my OCs Numbuh 73/Elise Septem and Numbuh 7/Felicia (Ellie) Septem.

If our KND AUs had a crossover: Violet Dau and Elise Septem would have known each other from their KND days. Violet being in communications and Elise in intelligence on the Moonbase meant they saw each other from time to time. Not sure if they be close as kids, but after both turned teenagers and found out both were in the TND, they probably become close. I see the girls bonding over ranting over Chad Dickson, both girls have history with him, teenage gossip, and other things. Having another girl that they don't have to hide anything from in their undercover work would be a big benefit to both.

Elise Septem, in my version of Operation Maurice, denied joining the Teen Ninjas from Cree and Chad while she was still decommissioned before she was recommissioned in the epilogue of the episode. That meant she was basically a social outcast for being a kid ally at school. Violet with her need to be in the Cheerleaders, probably would have to keep her distance for a time, but that would lessen by season 6 and Elise slightly bonding with Cree and Stacey despite not understanding why Elise wouldn't agree with fighting little brats.

After Elise and Violet get close as teens, Violet probably be invited to the Septem residence and become acquainted with Elise's youngest little sister, Numbuh 7. (Numbuh 10 is also their sister in my AU). Felicia and Violet would bond over Yipper cards, both are fans of the series, and their distaste for Time Space and the Continuum which sadly Chad and Elise both like so they both sneak out if a marathon was playing.

Would Sophie and Chad bond over a shared like for Time Space and the Continuum?

Probably after the war with the GKND.

Before that Sophie is too busy hating him for almost launching Moonbase (with Violet inside) to the sun, to have any kind of friendly bond with him.

But, I can say there's a few universes where they are friendly with each other, and together with DTASATC, they share a love for theatre. Though, in a few of those universes Violet's history isn't as good.

Sadly, in most universes Sophie and Chad don't get along. It's a multiversal constant that is broken very few times.

[numbuh143]

How did Numbuh 143/Sophie Cortes meet Violet Dau in you and @bugtoonzBugtoonz connected KND AU?

Hi! Basically, some good in-universe timing.

Both of them joined the Cadets Next Door around the same time in june 1997, and came out being in the top 3 of that class together with Numbuh 12, Alice. The three of them got a certain reputation while on the cadets and before being officially assigned to their respective posts, and got the name "The Chaos Trio" (absolutely and earned nickname and not something that Sophie came up with on her own).

Tho, this is just in my AU, in @bugtoonz's au the timeline is a bit different, so a lot of the details are too.

Thanks for the ask!

It’s been awhile since I posted KND

[bugtoonz]

For Violent's undercover mission with the cheerleaders, would there be any cheerleaders she actually becomes friends with?

yes! Violet gets along with Jenna and Penny pretty well, and the three hang out a fair bit. usually with Stacey, but sometimes not if Stacey is busy with Chad. they like to go to the mall the most

[bugtoonz]

So what happens in operation END if Chad actually gets decommissioned? Was Chad’s “Set the moonbase to the sun” actually his plan & he got decommissioned after his capture & Cree failed to save him?

personally, i don’t see Chad ever actually going off the deep end like that. the extreme measures he took in Op. END (in my personal interpretation/hc) were actually plans given to him by the GKND to test just how much he was willing to sacrifice for them— his dignity, his legacy, his pride. they wanted to see how far they could push him, while also conveniently testing their runner-up candidate, Nigel Uno.

so, in a world where the GKND isn’t pulling the strings and telling Chad he has to pretend to launch Moonbase into the sun, i think that Chad goes only as far as attempting to change his age in the code module. maybe his parents still do the silly birthday party thing, and what replaces the original plot is Nigel trying to figure out why he’s just caught the Supreme Leader of the KND going through his mailbox. Sector V isn’t decommissioned, but Chad is still found out, and he does still try to escape, even if unsuccessfully. it’s a less than stellar end to the career of one of the KND’s most prolific operatives, but once Chad is caught, he does his best to come to terms with things. maybe he even has a heart to heart with Nigel that he’ll won’t remember.

this also means that Cree makes her way onto Moonbase and attempts to launch it into the sun, but she’s unlucky enough to choose a day where all of Sector V is already on the Moonbase ready to kick her butt.
