My Ted Talk on why (reformed) Elena Validus is Ben's best choice of canon love interest.

Now I know you might ba asking yourself "Who?" and that's fair considering she only appeared 3 times in canon with the 4th being a cameo in Omniverse's The Most Dangerous Game Show. I'm talking about Ben and Gwen's childhood friend from before all the alien and cosmic shenanigans.

A link to her page.

Elena Validus

Elena Validus is a Plumber's kid who served both as an ally and recurring character to the heroes in the series, as well as one of Ben Tenny

I fully admit that as she is now she's not really girlfriend material. Or friend material.

Buuuut she has shown the capacity to change twice.

_______________

The first time was when she tried to commit suicide to stop her chips from killing Ben.

The second was during her talk with Ben in The Perfect Girlfriend where he seemed to be getting through to her before Julie showed up.

All of her problems stem from how her chips strive to grant her every desire as she explains earlier in Revenge of the Swarm

Not only does she come ready made with a constant internal struggle to provide drama (her having no inhibitions) but there's clearly mutual want there and she's had Plumber Training (before she quit after losing her father) and a desire to help others with the chips.

The above qualities already make her a better love interest than basically everyone besides Eunice who is likewise a capable fighter and has no problems with Ben's heroing (unlike Juile*).

Allow me to elaborate on a AU where Julie isn't his girlfriend and Elena is the one who keeps Ship after they've confessed to each other. Canon goes as usual (without the one sided fights that paint Ben as the bad guy for no justifiable reason and Elena joining their team with Ship's help) until after Alien Swarm. Now all of the sudden she has no impulse control and is a great foil for Kevin power drawbacks wise but in reverse. Kevin is always on the edge of crazed addiction if he absorbs too much energy and Elena starts crazy and has to fight tooth and nail to remain sane. She can now operate as a mix of Gwen and Cooper in a fight via chips as well, with her being able to go into a god mode like Gwen with her Anodite form by merging with Ship (since the chips are already hyper adaptable just adding a Galvanic Mechamorph will basically make the Ben 10 equivalent to Doomsday).

Not only does she have a lot of story potential for what's canon but her being the mother of Ken (and Devlin being the child of Gwevin) has a ridiculous amount of plot potential too. They'd be great foils for each other since Ken would have the same problem Elena did but he'd have help in making a impulse control and Devlin would likewise have help in dealing with being both an Osmosian and Anodite. It'd also offer up Ken the perfect way to be Spanner without having to leave his current time since he can just make a clone of himself. They'd make a hell of a Hero duo honestly.

* In fact I should elaborate on my feelings of Ben's love interests.

Julie straight up wanted shit Ben couldn't in good conscious give her since he isn't about to let people die or suffer if he can help it and knows about it. Them breaking up in Omniverse is flat out the best outcome.

Kai/Nyancy/Looma/Attea only like one of his forms.

Ester sucked at communication and gave up/moved on at the first sign of romantic trouble.

Eunice actually WOULD be pretty perfect romance wise (since they care for each other and she's all for his Hero work), unfortunately she actively makes it hard for Ben to Hero since the Unitrix messes with the Omnitrix. If that was fixed she honestly has a ridiculous amount of plot potential especially if she's the mother of Ken. Also before you say it she's only distantly related to Ben seeing as the Unitrix randomized Gwen's DNA sample it took from her when she made contact with it.

Elena Validus (assuming she gets over her batshit crazy/obsessed phase) is the only other love interest that actually cares about Ben and his Heroics. She also knew him prior to the watch and there's clear mutual want there.

So if I had to rank them it'd be something like this.

1 : Elena Validus 2 : Eunice 3/4 : Ester/Julie 5 : Looma 6 : Attea 7/8 : Nyancy/Kai

“Why is Nyancy Chan so close to me, and why is she here at all..? I’m not turning into Rath or Fasttrack for her!”

not too differently from normal animals, to be honest! there Are small differences between normal animal feet and the mammalian egos’ paws/feet, examples being:

the large part of Wilf’s paw pads don’t have that little divot in the middle, meaning that he leaves heart-shaped pawprints

similar to Wilf, Yan’s paw pads don’t have the little divot, meaning she leaves heart-shaped pawprints, too

Ed’s hooves always the four lines on the main hoof/nail, mimicking the lines on a dog’s paw

if anything, the main difference lies in when they shift to their human form [example below]. their hands are mostly human, save for the pads of their fingers retaining their paw pad color depending on how much they shift.

(for the catlike folk, their fingers become thicker and their nails can sit inside the muscle like a cat’s nails, but we’re talkin’ paws rn, not nails dnifdjs)

Hello! I love what you are creating! I was wondering, because I haven't seen anything about it, what kind of creature Yancy could be? Would he be a hellhound, sphinx or something completely different?

howdy! and thank you, i’m glad you do!

and Yancy’s a catboy shapeshifter! there’s no specific term for what he is, so shapeshifter is the closest.

like pictured above, you’ll see him most of the time as either human w/ cat features (ears, claws, tail) or just full cat!
