I was trying out following the planes of her face more! I kind of like it! The other piece of backstory is the fact that talking to a few people in my class who liked ttte as kids, they often said that Emily was their favorite character.

Realized I had a whole bunch of characters to rework, so choose one for the first headcannon/ lore post

I just think that sometimes Peter Sam and Sir Handel will get into a fist fight and then after they cool down for a bit they'll go back and apologize to each other.

weird question, but I wonder if throwing different wood in an engine's firebox tastes like something

tfw you go back in time several times to try and save your first friend from death

I’ve not a name for this. But this is me taking a crack at the “human” engines thing

So when the engines are built, a caretaker of sorts is born along side them. They are usually found inside of the locomotive as babies but don’t stay that way for long. They are born colorless, but take the colors of the engine when it is painted, as well as the area around them.

You can hardly tell the difference between caretakers and regular humans, aside from the colorful hair and eyes and slightly pointed ears.

Some key notes:

Eye color doesn’t settle until they are 5, and is a reflection of their heart. This is said to be their favorite place/thing to look at.

Hair color generally matches their paint work with some hue variation.

Skin is usually much tougher than normal humans. They feel temperature variation less as well.

They can and do eat, but don’t need much in terms of sustenance.

Physical health is based on their engines.

Steamies can control fire which is used to light their engine’s firebox, Diesels liquids, and Electric engines, electricity.

They like to collect small trinkets.

They die whenever their engine is scrapped, the purpose they served finished.
