I was talking with ask-deedee and the topic of Dexdark children came about, so since I've actually have a few ideas in mind for one, and a few doodles of her lying around, I thought I'd share them.
It's pretty long so I'm going to put it under the cut >
O-B/Obs Pronounced -'Aubs'
Full name, Obi (O'reily?)(Mcphearson?) Astronomonov.
My original intention for her is that when Dexter and Mandark decided they wanted to have a child, they put their heads together and she was brought about through experimentation. But going with the Trans Mandark headcanon, she could have been brought about in the usual way. I like both.
''O-B is the daughter of Dexter and Mandark, two of the top scientific minds in the world of their time.
In personality she varies from her fathers in that she's generally very calm, and tends to think through her actions before carrying them out. Often pointing out errors in her fathers brashness before their ventures go wrong. She inherited both of her fathers genius, making her vastly intelligent, but she is not as focused on academic pursuits as them. Having spent a little too much time with her aunt/occasional baby sitter Deedee, and especially her grandparents Oceanbird and WindBear while her fathers were working, she has a more positive, and much less jaded disposition.
At her core, OB is a peacekeeper. She'd be more likely to spout about philosophy than mathmatics. Kind of humble and shy, but quick to speak up, she can also be very stubborn. She tends to act mature and a bit too independent. May have a problem asking for help when she needs it. She's less likely to boast about her intelligence, but don't make her feel stupid. ''
Basically the way I paint OB is that she was born out of the spirit of love. In one path of events you get a post apocalyptic world run under a dictatorship, spun by hate and jealousy, and in the other you get Obs. So I wanted to make her character motivated by peace. She is the embodiment of the opposite of this future. Also, Genndy has a tendency to write his characters with conflicting personalities, so I wanted to go kind of the same route by giving these two rivals a daughter like Obs.
Appearance wise.. she's kind of like Dexter in the face and cheeks, but she has Mandark's flippy hippie cowlicks and dark hair. She also inherited some of Dexter's height in that she's only about a foot or two taller than him at his age when he was ten. She remains short as she gets older, but ends up somewhere between the two eventually. She wears round glasses until she hits her teens, then she switches to half moon shaped specks. She wears a lavender sweater and leggings. She likes flipflops.
I don't know, she's just an idea I came up with in my free time. If you've actually read this far, I appreciate, pat yourself on the back. I hope you like her.~
