Peter the Pup

Peter the Pup is a Sonic fan character created by Disgustedorite. He exists as a part of Doriteverse.
==Appearance==
Peter is a small mobian shiba inu with soft orange fur and a cream-colored face, belly, and tail tip. He wears white gloves with yellow bracelets, shoes which are blue white and teal, and a blue backpack with a blue sleeping bag strapped to it. He has a relatively large black nose and blue eyes, and fluffy triangular ears.
==Personality==
Peter is a shy pup, becoming extremely nervous around people he doesn't know. Although he's a self-described introvert, he enjoys spending time with his friends and it can be difficult for him to stop talking once someone brings up a topic he's interested in. He's extremely curious, sometimes literally sticking his nose into things to see how they work.
Peter is incredibly empathetic, and will sometimes ignore all social fear to help someone in need. He also has a strong sense of justice and may try to avenge the death of a complete stranger, provided that he knows who's responsible.
==History==
(Retconned, rewrite coming soon)
==Powers==
Peter lacks any innate powers, but has learned how to use various minerals to tap into chaos energy indirectly. He uses these for a variety of purposes, including minor healing, relieving stress and tension, and controlling a badnik via the animal inside.
Because Peter doesn't actually have any innate chaos abilities, he cannot use chaos control or go super under normal circumstances.
==Abilities==
Peter, being a dog, has a good sense of smell. He can use this to follow someone who left an area days ago, detect nearby badniks (by the smell of the animals they have captured), and identify just how toxic a strange-looking sludge is.
==Skills==
Peter has somewhat better balance than other mobians of his size and age, a learned ability which he uses to stay on top of badniks when hitching a ride.
Although he has no professional training, Peter can perform CPR in an emergency and knows how to properly clean and wrap a wound. He can also sniff out a particular medicine in its natural form within plants or fungus to help someone who's sick or in pain when he doesn't have access to it in pill form.
==Weaknesses==
Peter lacks any innate powers, including any significant speed or defense, so he is extremely vulnerable to attack. He can generally make up for this by hitching a ride on a badnik, but if he's separated from his mineral collection or if he's fighting organic foes, he's completely defenseless.
Peter is also easily manipulated by sob stories—if the story itself is sad enough, he becomes upset and loses focus, even if he doesn't believe a word of it.
== Trivia ==
* Peter was the first original character specifically created for the Doriteverse, and Dorite's third Sonic OC overall.
* Peter's design was originally inspired by the doge meme, combined with aspects of Dorite's abandoned Vlageria project. Very little of the latter remains.
