(Warning! Very sad and potentially triggering content! Also, this is exclusive to Trixie, her backstory has nothing to do with personal experience. This is written through her viewpoint, my comments are in the brackets. Please don’t be offended by anything in her backstory! I apologize if it seems kinda stereotypical.) Hello everyone… this is tough for me to speak about… but I feel it must be done… So here it is. The story of my past. I had abusive parents. I, for the most part, had to take care of myself, and Dash when he was born. After he was born, I started to stand up to my parents a little more, which made things a bit worse but I didn’t really care. I just wanted to protect Dash. One day, I was about 10, and he was around 8, we were in a forest near our house to get a break, and we met Mila, who was around 3. We realized she was all alone and we decided to take her in. We hid her from our parents, protected her, raised her, and cared for her. But… eventually our parents discovered her. I tried protecting Dash and Mila, and then mom and dad locked us in our room. We decided not to endure it anymore, packed the bare necessities, and ran away. We found some of our old friends, The Jackal Squad. I know, I know, “why were you friends with a bunch of mercenaries?”. Let me explain… one day I was walking in the forest some distance from our house. I came across these jackals… the uh… threatened me, naturally, but when. I realized they were just hungry I offered to bring them some food. Zero didn’t exactly trust me but they let me go, and as promised I snuck some food from our pantry and gave it to them. I continued doing this, and they all began trusting me more, enough so they’d bring me to their camp sometimes. Later, I’d bring Dash and Mila, and we all became friends. Anyways, after running away, the Jackal Squad offered to let us stay with them. But when Zero made that stupid decision to join forces (totally not a pun on Sonic Forces…) with Eggman, we had to leave, since… why would we want to help Eggman? We stayed near Eggman’s base though, and occasionally we’d have a quick visit, but we refused to join them in being Eggman’s lackeys. And then… the Incident happened… I saw it happen… but… I don’t blame Shadow for what happened. After that… we still stayed near. Wanted to check on Zero, but after he became Infinite we left the area. We met some new friends, though it was hard to learn to trust again. Later, we had to move again, then my siblings were kidnapped by Eggman. I went to save them, and Sonic & friends were attacking the base. I helped them, and they helped me in return. Then we discovered that Mila and Tails are cousins, and we all got along, so we stuck around. I’m glad we did. And now Zero is reformed, and everyone’s happy :)
Here is a picture… it shows how my past affects me now. I still have a problem with pushing people away when I need their help, and the pain and scars of what happened is still there. [All those words in red are things I’ve been told, or I tell myself. The light blue is me, the dark blue is a certain hedgehog I’m friends with.] Me and my friends are working to fix this though. I don’t know where I’d be without them. For the songs… no I did not just look for the most depressing stuff I could (ok I totally did). The first one is just the intro to one of Shadow’s songs, the second is Sad Song by We The Kings. I chose that one because even though it’s kinda in a romantic sense, it could also apply to friends. I don’t know what I’d do without my friends. Third is Fade by Alan Walker. It’s actually one of my favorite songs. Fourth song is Stand By You by Rachel Platten. I think it applies to me and how my friends always support me when taken in a platonic sense. Last one is… some piano stuff, idk, sorry. I’ll bet you’re wondering about the marks on my arms… *sigh* those are old scars from the abuse. They are why I’m almost always wearing a jacket. When people see them, they tend to make wrong assumptions about me, so I cover them. (Me, SEGA, Adobe Sketch, Apple Pencil, you know the drill. Music: @Sholvanic1058, @Rosyundertaleidk, We The Kings, Alan Walker, Rachel Platten… look inside and find the surprise :>)
