About Cinder, Twilight, and Mint:

A trio of Sonadow fankids. Cinder was kidnapped and never found, leading to their parents becoming overprotective of Twilight - and eventually Mint. Cinder grew to hate her family, while her sisters just want her to come back home. Twilight tries to live without her parent's influence, but struggles in many ways. She's too strong-headed to ask for help, even as she drowns. Mint is confused, and maybe a bit too scared of what the world can bring.

About Gallium and Kit Rose:

Gallium is a cyborg and a synthetic combination of Sonic and (Neo) Metal Sonic. Gallium was an unfinished project and intended to be an army of mindless cyborg clones, but was never properly finished. Gallium's personality is overall energetic and positive. He is usually described to be a pleasant young man, yet what really drags him down is that Gallium is quite dumb. Gallium has the power to melt his limbs into controllable liquid metal and can corrode some metallic objects. While he has super-speed, he is ever so slightly slower than his dad (and sister). Ketchup "Kit" Rose is a biological daughter of Sonic and Amy Rose. Kit, despite the happy attitude of her parents and silly full name, has a dead serious personality and stone cold attitude. She has grown up with a great passion for all kinds of sports and is rumored to be good at all that exist in the modern time. She yearns for the normal life of a normal girl, but is constantly surrounded by people who can't help themselves but find trouble that drags Kit into the mess too. Kit has inherited her dad's super speed and her mom's strength, yet she rarely uses them. Kit used to live as an only child, but later her parents semi-formally adopting Gallium as a new member of the household. Kit now has to navigate her life with a rowdy younger brother who she oftentimes helps get out of trouble despite trying to stay out of "heroic" activities, while Gallium has to navigate a life where he suddenly has a family with an older sister. Despite their huge differences and contrasting personalities, they get along quite well and have developed a strong bond in a short time that they spent "officially" being siblings.

Twilight: Hey, the next round's up!

Mint: Yay! Oh, they look so cool.

Twilight: Well we can be cool, too! Especially once Cinder gets in here. Where... is Cinder?

Mint: Still in shock.

Twilight: I'll go bug her. Good luck Gallium and Kit!

[tineweaver]

Mint: Sissie... the results are up.

Twilight: Well we already know what they'll say, right? There's no need to--- What!

Cinder: What's the deal? I was trying to enjoy some quiet.

Twilight: We won the first round! Look!

Hi! My name is Melon. I am tasked with drawing everyone in the showdown!! So I drew you three and I really really hope you like it! I love your names and think you are all super pretty!!

Twilight: Oh! This is super sweet of you!

Mint: You look tired Sissie...

Cinder: Well voting's almost over, and Lavender and Koko have beat us. So Twilight can sleep instead of insisting on 'family bonding'.

Twilight: Shush. We had fun anyway, and now we have something to remember it by! Thank you Melon! These are very sweet!

Mint: Thank you Melon....!

Cinder: Thanks. I guess.

Twilight: (Cinder likes them too, I promise!)

[Kayawatts these are so sweet omgggg!!! I cannot decide which one I like the most they're all great. Thank you!

@sonic-mini-showdown P sure my fankids are out but tagging ya'll anyway! ]

[tineweaver]

HIII!!! You three are awesome!!

I’m really curious. To all of you: what is your favorite candy? Do you have a favorite one in common? Or do each of you have different tastes?

Thank you so much in advance!

Twilight: Aw, thanks so much! You and Iris are pretty cool as well, I love your oven mitts!

Mint: I like gummy worms! The super sour ones! But Daddy and Papa and Sissie say I'm not allowed to have them very often.

Twilight: I'm not a huge fan of candy myself. I prefer other sweets like brownies.

Cinder: I don't eat sweets.

Twilight: I'm becoming more convinced the only thing you ever eat is carrots.

[alolanshadowdragon]

Wait... You have Knuckles as a Papa and Papa is your Daddy? Are we related? Did Papa cheat on someone???

Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's not quite how this works. Though... I guess that does kind of make us related? Lavender, Koko, what do you think?

"WAIT would that mean we're, like... siblings!? If our Daddy is your Papa?"

"Yeah, I think we'd be half-siblings then!"

"And your other parent is Uhn- Sonic? Hey, that'd mean you're half-siblings with our cousin Burgundy too! OOH and does that mean we have the same grandparents??"

"I agree with Twilight, I think it's more complicated than that. Our parents are different where they're from, they might not-" *she stops, redirecting her statement as she glances at the other kids* "Do you have a Tom and Maddie where you're from?"

[ @sonic-mini-showdown ]

[tineweaver]

Wh... Who's a Tom and Maddie?

That'll be a no. The closest we do know is our grandma was Queen Aleena, before Robotnik overthrew her.

The meanie.

If they are technically related to us, it would mean that their grandparents would technically be our grandparents as well. Technically.

Oh! Hey, grumpy. You decided to join us?

Hmph.

[Just for a bit of OOC context that necessarily wouldn't come up because they don't understand it - these three are from a conglomerate of various Sonic medias.]

[tineweaver]

Sombra: …

Luna: …

Hailey *off camera*: girls…

Sombra: Why are you green…

Hailey: Sombra!!

Sombra: we have a sister named Twilight too but you look nicer than her… and tired. Are you ok?

Luna: Sombra

Sombra: right, questions. Hi. Luna wants to know what is your favorite Pokémon? And I wanted to ask what is your favorite fruit? And do you like tea parties? Mami says we can have a tea party with some of the kids here

Hailey: your parents are welcome to join too! Parents… good luck in the showdown!

Sombra: good luck!

Luna: *waves*

(Cinder stares them down right back) It's.... complicated why I'm green. I don't think I was originally.

Wait what??? (Twilight shakes her head) Not the moment. You two are adorable!

Um... I'm green because I am? I guess?

You got a bit of your Uncle Manic in you. That's not a bad thing. Our parents are on a mission right now. Something related to Cinder?

Apparently over a decade later they manage to hold a grudge. At least Shad....

Papa.

I'm not calling him that.

ANYWAY! I'm perfectly fine, no need to worry! But wow, we've got another Cinder floating around in the competition and now another Twilight? (she laughs)

Oh! Oh! Can I go to the tea party?

Answer the rest of their question first. Then we can see about what needs to be done to let you go.

Yay!! Let's see. I like apples.... and grapes. Oh and pears! Peaches are really good too. Cherries are okay. The tiny blueberries are the best! And and and---

You really do not understand the meaning of 'favorite'.

They're ALL my favorite!

(Twilight pats Mint's head) Let us have a chance to answer. I prefer cucumbers, personally.

I prefer vegetables over fruit. Carrots. I never.... got into Pokemon, so I can't say I have a favorite one.

I like Rolycoly and Applin!

I prefer the Porygon line myself. It's very fun to watch the little guy transition from older blocky style of technology into a smoother version into what could be the future.

[Michi I took way too long answering this because I keep just staring at the doodle of Sombra and Luna and laughing it's SO good I love it so much

Also obligatory @sonic-mini-showdown tag!]

[sonic-mini-showdown]

To all participants of the sibling showdown!

What kind of relationships do you have to your siblings. Those in the showdown and those not? Are you close or distant?

🤼

[tineweaver]

My Sissie Twilight is the most amazing most beautiful most awesomeist person ever.

Mint, that wasn't really the question. Mint and I are extremely close. We've only recently met Cinder over there, so we're hoping to use the showdown as a chance to get to grow closer to each other!

We've never been close.

Cinder, it's hard to be close when we only knew you existed and hadn't met you.

About Cinder, Twilight, and Mint:

A trio of Sonadow fankids. Cinder was kidnapped and never found, leading to their parents becoming overprotective of Twilight - and eventually Mint.

About Lavender and Koko:

Now that G.U.N. appears to be leaving the aliens alone, Koko tries to take full advantage of it; exploring the forests and towns of Montana and just in general having fun. Lavender is more cautious, the early formative years of her life spent hiding showing through. But Koko, who wasn't forced to hide from enemies who wanted to harm him, enjoys dragging her into adventures without fear of the ways it could go wrong.. much to Lavender's own annoyance. Even so, they get along well, and care immensely for one another.

[tineweaver]

"Hi hi hi!! You're Cinder, Mint, and Twilight, right? I'm SUPER excited to compete with you guys! Lavender is too - you are right?"

"Yes, I'm excited!"

"Are you guys excited? Do you think it'll be fun? Do-"

"Koko, calm down!"

"Just one more! What are your favorite games or fun things to do together?"

- Koko and Lavender

(ps: they all look so cute!! And they seem to have such an interesting dynamic together, I'm interested to see how they get along! Best of luck to you!! :D )

I think it will be fun! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hmph....

(Twilight sighs) As much as I'd love to say ignore grumpy over there... she is part of this.

I still can't believe I agreed to it.

Um... I enjoy playing board games with Sissie!

Remember, Mint, it's Sissie Twilight now. We can't leave Cinder out!

Oh, right! Sissie Twilight is really good at Monopoly! I enjoy racing her more, though.

Only because you got our parents' speed. What about you, Cinder?

Fun is useless. Games and the like have no purpose other than to distract.

[Thank you so much!!! I adore Koko and Lavender, they're super cute! Good luck to you as well!!! :D

@sonic-mini-showdown ]

[tineweaver]

Why did I allow you to rope me into this? I've got more important things to do.

Oh come now, Cinder. This'll be the perfect way for us to get to know each other! And we'll have fun doing it! Right, Mint?

Ah... um... uh-huh....

[Welcome to the @sonic-mini-showdown arena! During the duration they're in the running, feel free to send in questions for them, the ask box is open, and get to know them! And maybe help them get to know each other]
