Sometimes I wonder what Ziya was like as a child or a baby

*Scene of Ziya and Zavok as children*

Her origins, like... Did she ever see Zavok as a little girl and think, "Zavok is the best zeti"?

And did she ever want to give him flowers, but feared that Zavok, because of his attitude, would reject them and didn't dare? And when he grew up, he confessed his feelings to her.

Thinking of them as kids is cute. Haha.

And she only really gave him flowers once when they were kids, but I can't say for what right now. I would like to think that zeti parents introduce their children to each other so that they can form packs later on in life. I can't see Zavok ever being one to 'confess' feelings. He's just very quiet about things. He's got that buff and tough attitude that prevents him from doing so, but I'd like to think he gets flustered by her easily because she kind of breaks through all of that rage.

Seeing a looooot of people liking my Doey art recently. Ya'll excited for chapter 5? 😏

I love Ziya. The first time I saw her, and whenever I see her in art, she reminds me of a princess or Queen. I don't know why

Princess/Queen Ziya and King Zavok :)

Zavok does often refer to himself as a King, sooooo-. (≖⩊≖)

Despite the bad blood between the Zeti, especially Zavok, why I feel Sonic is rather genuinely friendly towards Ziya despite being her Zeti?

That's his character. Sonic has always been super friendly and trusting towards others. He'd find her hex to be a safe place while he's stuck on Lost Hex and she's the only one who's not trying to kill him, so yeah. Haha.

What would Ziya sound like in canon?

I'd like to think she'd be voiced by Lisa Hannigan! She voices Blue Diamond from Steven Universe and Bronagh from Song of the Sea. :) I absolutely love her voice.

Hi :D I love Ziya's design, and you're one of my favorite artists too 💖

Do you have any other favorite characters from the Sonic universe?

I find the villains adorable, especially the strong ones, and I'd love to know more about Ziya's past, how Ziya sees Sonic, and how Sonic sees Ziya 🤔🤔🤔

Does Zavok get jealous if Ziya talks to another being, like Chao, Zeti, or Sonic? 👀

Does Sonic trust Ziya? 🤔

Sorry, I have so many questions. Again, your drawing style is beautiful, and greetings from Spain!✨👋🫂

Oh my goooosh- thank you so much! That is so sweet of you!!!! I'm so glad you enjoy my art! I do have other favorites! I love the IDW characters, like Starline, Tumble, and Nite to name a few. Surge and Kitsunami of COURSE. XD Outside of just the comics, I've always really liked Vector and Cream. Big is a goofy character too, and I grew up playing Sonic Heroes, so Big was always one of my faves. Haha. Same with Omega. OOOOOH I love big bad guys. Literally my favorite thing ever is taking big bad guys and making them nervous/blush etc etc. I'd like to think as Zavok gets closer to Ziya, before they actually get together, he has feelings of jealousy. He probably thinks that he's above feeling that way and tries to shrug it off, as he hasn't ever felt like that before and this is new to him. I feel like he'd talk to Master Zik about it. I also like to think that Zik KNOWS what's going on with Zavok but he never directly says anything because it is entertaining to watch someone like Zavok become so flustered when he's never been. Lol. While Sonic is on the Lost Hex, I'd like to think he kind of falls onto Ziya's platform and she fixes him up and sends him on his way. I have a little idea I've been meaning to sketch out, but I think Sonic would return to Ziya's platform as like a safe zone on Lost Hex. Ziya doesn't allow fighting on her platform because Zazz destroyed so much of it. The other zeti go to Ziya after their battle with Sonic to get healed and such. She also has like a little hot spring. Her part of Lost Hex is literally just calm and relaxing, so it's a place of rejuvenation for them all. And don't apologize for asking questions! I'm always happy to blab about my characters! :) Thank you for the questions and the very kind words! <3

I can hug Kevin, I know he's evil and will kill everyone, but he needs a little love too. 🫂
