This is my sona’s reference sheet!!

Vanny is a human-turned-cyborg, the first successful experiment of fusing a metal robot suit with the human body. Think almost like a springlock suit lol. Once deployed, the metal panels cling onto the host’s body and basically takes over the inside with wiring and various mechanisms that resemble and somewhat replicate a human body’s organs. This is why sometimes blood will drip out of the panels.

Vanny is also a tailmouth. According to lore, tailmouths can only come to be if one of their parents is a tailmouth, or if the host has killed an already existing tailmouth. Since they weren’t one before undergoing “surgery”, it’s wildly speculated that they were forced to kill a tailmouth that was being held within the facility for experimentation to observe how mouthtails, the tail itself, infect the host.

The mouthtail’s name is Minerva, and while it has its own set of organs and brain, it shares a nervous system with Vanny. However, since their nervous system is pretty much nonexistent, Minerva doesn’t feel or share pain with Vanny like normal tailmouth and mouthtails do. Minerva can speak as well, in any language that Vanny can also speak. Since they have two different brains, they don’t share thoughts, though. But even so, both Vanny and Minerva think similarly and work in perfect harmony. Most of the time.

Minerva also has a unique ability to take over the host’s body, if allowed to. This was unheard of, as mouthtails are usually only able to weakly influence the body’s movements at most. Another reason why the original tailmouth who had Minerva was being held for experimentation, but as well as observing the infection of tailmouth to new tailmouth, Vanny’s team of scientists wanted to add another weapon to their arsenal. If Vanny allows Minerva control, their body goes into what scientists have dubbed the “Feral Forme”. Vanny’s fingers deploy huge metal claws, and their jaw will unhinge and their cheeks will tear, forming another set of huge teeth. Fur pokes out from underneath their metal suit, and they seemingly lose the ability to speak or communicate in anything other than roars, growls, or animalistic sounds, since Minerva cannot control Vanny’s voicebox. Minerva will assume main control of the body’s movements and mannerisms. Minerva’s mouth will also fully uncurl, and slightly tear, forming yet another set of massive teeth. They will also get around by leaping and crawling like an animal.

This later proves to be useful, much to the facility where Vanny was held’s misfortune, as they use it to escape.

As for Vanny’s outfit, the shades are cosmetic, but also cover their robotic eye, which is a bit unnerving to look at in the outside world considering they are also missing the eyelid on that eye. The bandages they wear also are cosmetic, but prove to be useful as it sometimes soaks up the little trickles of blood that seep out from underneath the panels. They don’t change them often, at all, since it won’t bother them. They do sometimes, though. The boots add a little oomph as their fighting style consists mostly of kicks, and they have been known to absolutely annihilate an enemy with a stomp to the head if they get caught on the ground. They also using stomping when they are angry or to get attention, much like a rabbit, hence the ears that formed with Minerva. Imagine the cracks in the ground when they are angry lol.

And a Bonus Fun Fact!! Vanny’s body weighs about as much as a small car, about 2,500 pounds, or almost 1.4 tons. They can lift about three times their body weight.
