Alexia the Hedgehog

==Overview==
Alexia "Aqua" the Hedgehog is a shy, anthromorphic blue hedgehog who is an FC of MaxIrvaron. She plays as the Bash Sister to Terra the Ocelot. She is still a WIP, however.
Though she used to be the damsel-in-distress character who was simply used for the "shy blue-haired girl" trope, now, she's something more - she's a shy yet intelligent girl who still loves peace, but won't be afraid to pull her punches when the going gets tough and life gets tougher. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Alexia the Hedgehog.
== Appearance ==
Aqua is a 3'1", 69 pound hedgehog. Her fur is a neutral blue, and her skin is white. Her eyes are light purple, and vertical ovals. She has two eyelashes on each eye. She has two spiky quills that go straight down, and four locks in the front of her face.
===Mystic Zone===
She usually wears an cyan-colored jacket that kinda droops when it meets the wrist. Over it, there is a black, strapless tank top over the chest and a dark blue half-shirt on the bottom half, covering her stomach. She never wears gloves - she prefers to just go around with bare hands. Her legs have a streak on them where the rest is dark blue. She wears yellow shoes with white bands above and below them. Her tail is like a zig-zag.
===Mystic Fever===
After Mystic Zone, Alexia wears a completely different outfit. It is a space-themed dress with grey at the top, grey sleeves, and a grey underskirt. Diagonally across her chest are two grey and blue belts for carrying additional items, and there are several yellow spirals and blue stars scattered around the dress. Alongside that, she wears blue sandals.
==Personality==
Aqua is a shy girl. She does not do well against big things that she's scared of. However... She isn't a pushover. Well, she kinda is, but that's only if peer pressure situations, which happens a lot, so -_-.
She's brave in her own right - she's just quiet. Very quiet. When she feels like somebody else is taking charge, you can be sure as heck she'll listen to them. She's the "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" type of girl who simply follows instructions given. Though she won't pipe up to take charge, she won't decline if someone suggests her to be the leader, though chances are she'll get really shaky and need some help.
Aqua depends on her friends for everything. If one of them gets hurt, you can bet she'll be crying for two months (long enough to be mistaken for having bipolar disorder). They make her feel useful, and she carries on that kindness to others. It's like a path to what she thinks is the purpose of life - if you can't do good, then what are you doing, really? Are you just going to set out to make a bad mark on the world, or are you just going to give hugs? Aqua does the latter.
Aqua has no idea how to stand up for herself. If someone is a jerk to her, she'll probably ask them to stop and leave, albeit very quietly and nervously. She needs to learn how to be tougher, but this conflicts with her mindset, because she thinks that everyone else has to be softer. Due to this, she is very fragile, especially compared to her older friends (she's the second youngest of the cast, only being 15 In Mystic Zone - the average is 18 not including Kennedy, and yes, I did the math).
Alexia is prone to stammering, sighing, and stopping mid-sentence. This usually happens when she is with new people, but not as oftenly with her friends. This is mostly caused by her shyness, though.
==History==
=== Way Back When ===
Aqua was born in the Green Hill Hut, a hut in... Green Hill Zone, to Tulip Wynter and Cyan Wynter. It was extremely peaceful and laid-back there - everyone usually got along, and they all had a generally pacifistic attitude and outlook on life. Their lives were fun and all, but the only reason that such a calm tribe of sorts had lasted so long was because of a moment that had pretty much been branded into their history.
Similarly to echidnas, Chaos went on a rampage and attacked the tribe a few eons ago, and they were all powerless to stop him. He was so infuriated, not even Tikal could stop him - it looked like Aqua's tribe was going to be wiped from history. But them, wanting to not die, begged for his forgiveness, saying that if he let them live, that they would always be his servants in need.
Chaos accepted and gave them the gift of aqua/hydrokinesis. But before they left, Tikal left them with a prophecy - something like this would happen again, and that someone in their tribe with sacred ice powers would help seal Chaos back, saving them from any further trouble. But for the time being, Chaos was their god, so the tribe was usually helping out with things that worshipped Chaos, like building shrines, cleaning polluted water, and doing whatever then could to make Chaos happy.
Now, there was something worth mentioning, and that was the fact that while the whole story of Chaos was mostly regarded as fact, the prophecy Tikal had left had been lost in time, with no one even bothering to remember it - so, when Alexia demonstrated that she also had control over ice, despite the fact that she was the first ever cryokinetic in the history of the tribe, no one really reacted.
Things were relatively normal until one fateful day, Dr. Eggman had gotten some strange mystical energy signatures from the Green Hill Hut (specifically, from Aqua), and wanted to find out what it was, thinking it was an Emerald. His robots attacked, and a lot of people who were in the hut got robotized and tried to kill Aqua. Cyan and Tulip protected her and unrobotized the hut members. After the attack, they all decided to move somewhere else...
Onwards, to the Chemical Plant Zone, where Eggman attacked again!... Only this time, he killed some people... And then they moved again and again and again. However, the tribe members were usually safe from his attacks, and the hut was happy.
However, Alexia had an older brother named Crys. He was... strange, to say the least. He was incredibly introverted, paid no attention to the Chaos worshipping, and was rarely ever home. One day, he left the hut without a word, only for Cyan and Tulip to question where he went a day later. The tribe searched for him for a month before giving up. With much sadness, Alexia's family decided that he was probably dead, and that though it was very difficult losing a relative who was oh-so close to them, they would eventually have to move on.
A day after that, Cyan was found impaled with a yellow ice sword, and Tulip was missing. Now, tribe members were sure that people were out for her family - Crys and Tulip disappearing, and Cyan had been killed. Alexia was absolutely horrified, and when they told her to run and leave no trace of herself, she didn't waste any time. She packed her bags and ran for the hills.
==Powers==
Aqua was born with water and ice-related powers. She can make them come out of nowhere, she can make them hot of colder, and though she could control someone's bodily fluids, she has no idea how to. She is very proficient with the water part of her abilities, but with the ice, you shouldn't really count on it to be perfect, for she only knows how to make ice objects and how to freeze water. She can turn her whole body into water or ice, or even make a sculpture if herself that she can use to defend herself.
==Abilities==
Aqua doesn't have many thing "special" about her that's big and flashy. But she does have a few things that are easy to miss if you only know her for a few seconds. These are...
She also has a photographic memory. If she sees something, there's a very low chance she won't remember it. This has helped her in "detective" work in the past, and is still clear in her skillset today. However, she won't remember things she doesn't want to remember, and if she's knocked out right after, she won't remember what happened.
==Skills==
Knows things about hand-to-hand combat, thanks to Terra's teaching. When she fights, she fights with her arms. She's kinda experienced, but she doesn't exactly do it a lot, so... -_- ...yeah. She is the least experienced of the crew, which justifies why one of them is always near to protect her. She can't even take down a bank robber by herself, something that everyone else can do in five seconds. Hence the fact that she is Terra's apprentice.
She has no healing powers, but with the right materials, she could heal someone from a fatal accident. She's saved a number of people from dying, and when she gets a bit older, she wants to be a doctor. She keeps Healing Elemental Rings in the village and carries a few with her at all times.
She can swim! In fact, she can hold her breath for an especially long time, which isn't a rare trait among OCs, but hey, it's still worth noting... She has perfect sight underwater, and could do an eye doctor test in the water and still get every letter right. But this "enhanced eyesight" is only in water - in air, her sight is as normal as possible.
Chao, chao chao chao chao! (She can speak to Chao, even if they only say chao!) Chao chao chao chao chao chao chao chao, chao. (She learned this ability from one of the village elders, and she is still practicing. She is very proficient with this skill.) Chao chao chao chao chao chao, chao chao chao. Chao chao chao chao-chao chao chao chao chao chao. (However, she still has lots to learn, hence the fact she is still practicing, not an A-Rank. She is still good enough to speak with her chao, though.)
== Forms ==
=== Wild Aqua ===
Her fur turns half orange and half black, and she loses her pupils and irises. This form is as strong as anyone's Super form. She can only get into this form when really, really, really mad. She can see in the dark, breathe underwater, and sense energy; other than that, she doesn't get anything new. However, she can lose control when in this form for too long, and long for this form is five minutes. Speaking of which, there's a five minute time limit, so you can't save up energy in this form, or else just as you're about to use your attack, you turn back into your base form.
==Weaknesses==
Aqua is soft and fragile, and she does not take jerks well. She can be seen as a person who is weak and scared to voice her opinion, and that's because... well, at times, she is.
Aqua can be a pushover at times. She is prone to peer pressure to an extent, and could easily be pushed around around jerks. In fact, if she didn't have brave friends like Max and Terra... I dunno how she'd survive.
Aqua is peaceful... to a flaw. Mega world-destroying robot on the loose? Everyone else'll agree and say that it needs to be destroyed, but she'll look for the good in it, confront, be a counselor-like figure... and then get knocked into a nearby skyscraper.
Aqua is especially weak in her leg area; she can't do JACK with her legs other than walking. Due to her poor lower body strength, a kick feels like a poke to whoever she's kicking.
She NEVER uses weapons; if an enemy can only be killed by using something like a Holy Sword, you better count on someone else to do it. She really hates firearms like guns, rifles, and machine guns.
Also, she gets motion sickness. If you bring her on a car, plane, jet, helicopter, some Extreme Gear, surf board (that's sad), or bus, please bring a barf bag.

* Mackenzie the Tiger 
* Terra the Ocelot 
When Aqua came to Wild Wind Village, she was scared. Her parents had been killed and her brother had disappeared, so she was scared to death, and also pretty desperate. When she met Terra, who was guarding the village, she could tell instantly what type of person she was, so she knew she'd have to earn her trust, not just take refuge without helping them at all. Over this period of time, Alexia saw Terra and how responsible and dedicated she was, and frankly, it made her a little jealous. She'd always been such a shy and timid individual, but Terra was closer to how she really wanted to be. So, putting her fears aside, Alexia asked Terra if she could assist with guarding and leading the village. Terra fortunately said yes, taking Alexia along as her apprentice.
Now, that off-putting and cold demeanor she was used to seeing of Terra was all gone. When they changed from clanmates to partners, Terra seemed to find her a lot more likeable, and Alexia the same. The two always had each other's backs, no matter what type of danger they were in, which was a pretty big step for Alexia, having some who could finally help her conquer her fears and place her worries aside. Along with that, Terra has seemed generally more emotional and kind to people ever since she and Alexia became best friends. However, here's where a tiny flaw in their relationship comes in - while Terra sees the two as sisters, Alexia actually has a crush on Terra, admiring her fearlessness, her compassion, and her will. So, sometimes, this can make situations between the two awkward due to this disconnect, especially since Alexia never plans on revealing her crush to the ocelot.
