JurichaI recently learned that there's a species of very small bats that build tents from leaves and live there and I. Could. Not. Resist.
Meet my new OC Heidi the Bat (get it? Hide-y, hehe), in Sonic style. She is a Honduran white bat.
Despite her youthful, cutesy and innocent appearance (as well as her small size), she is older (around 13-15 years old) and more capable than she looks.She is a skilled builder and survivalist, able to build things from, utilize and even control (in a very limited way) a wide variety of leafy plants, including - of course - tents and camouflage. She is said to be a relative of Rouge - whether she is her cousin or her niece is yet to be determined - and she shares her relative's love of adventure and sparkly things as well as being potentially talented in the way of espionage if one is to take her skills into account.
Gets along well with the younger members of Sonic's cast, including Cream (she's quite a well-mannered girl, if a bit simple-minded in the more mundane things and can be blunt at times, she likes Chao as well, plus Vanilla teaches her to cook), Tails (both love building things), Marine (loves to explore, though she doesn't like sea travel all that much, as she feels exposed in all that wide open space) and Charmy (both have plant-related powers and are bundles of energy, but don't always see eye to eye due to their age difference and Charmy's loud personality).
As mentioned before, due to her size (she's about the same size as Charmy, even a bit smaller), she is weaker and has a smaller wing span. She can, however, climb any surface that has greenery on it (even ceilings!) using her claws and boots. enhance her vision even further with her goggles (they are actually Tails' old night-vision goggles he had in Tails' Adventure that he gave to her) and has a heightened sense of smell that allows her to detect some things even faster than Rouge, Knuckles or Tikal can (though she has a harder time detecting some things - like the Chaos Emeralds - and others she can't detect at all).
Her overall frail stature makes her a very, very poor fighter. When she was on her way to see the Mystic Ruins' pyramid, she got attacked by a weak stray Badnik and crashed in the jungle not far from Big and Froggy's home. Big found her and carried her to Tails' house to get help. And the rest, as they say, is history.
I hope you enjoyed both my art, my character and the little story I just made up for her!
