In-Character Information
Name: Cream the Rabbit
Game/Series: Sonic the Hedgehog
Canon Point: Before Sonic Colors.
Age & Grade Level: 11, Freshman

Personality:

Cream the Rabbit is a very kind girl; possibly the easiest sort to make friends with, seeing as she values friendship more than anything. She's not very shy at all, openly talking with everyone she meets, and is generally the one to start conversations when there is a need to break the silence. She is incredibly difficult to make sad at times, unless you personally insult her or hurt her. She's very high-spirited and peppy, wanting to make others happy when they feel down. One could say she can get very excitable when situations call for it, but she just enjoys being happy. In fact, if she's ever down, she's generally very easy to cheer up, especially if it's a friend that does so. She is also exceedingly polite, never forgetting her manners, and doing whatever she is told to do, provided it is by an adult or friend. However, even to those she doesn't like very much, like Dr. Eggman, she is polite to, never resorting to being mean or name-calling. She will always attempt to drive a conversation back into the positive zone if someone attempts to name-call her or be rude. If that fails, she'll simply avoid the person, and thus avoid breaking her mannerisms. Even when there's something she wants to say that's in the form of a complaint, she will word it in a positive-suggestive fashion as to sound as kind as possible, if it's applicable. (There's not a nicer way to ask someone to slow down so they don't leave you behind.)

Cream is an outdoorsy type, preferring to play with her friends and doing all sorts of activities in the freedom allowed in the wilderness. Although she'll generally do whatever it is her friends want to do, there are many activities Cream enjoys the most, such as exploring and picking flowers, which keep her spirits lifted. She also loves adventuring, whether it's just with her Chao, Cheese, or with all of her friends. Even when it involves things that she doesn't like to remember, she'll recall the fun parts of exploring as she remembers things later in her life. Though it could be said that every single thing she does with her friends outside (sans anything that involves people getting hurt, etc.) can be considered her favorite things to do, simply because she's having fun with them. Even when she's indoors, she can be found watching a show or playing a game, though she prefers doing so with her mother and/or her friends. Whatever she does, she tries to have fun. (Schoolwork, fun? With Cream, it just might be!)

What Cream doesn't like, however, is violence. Fighting. That sort of thing. She dislikes it a lot. 'Hate' is too strong a word for that, however, since Cream will consent to it on the condition of fighting for her friends. When she sees people fighting, she will try her best to get them to stop; however, if it looks too violent, she will simply hide herself or run away, simply because seeing exceedingly violent things makes her want to cry. She continues to think that there's good in everyone except Eggman well okay she thinks there's even some in him but anyway As said before, however, if one of her friends is getting picked on or beaten up, she'll jump right in and attempt to stop the fight, or defend her friend. She'd much prefer stopping the fight, since fighting back only incites more fighting in her eyes. She will, however, train with her friends to be able to defend more efficiently, but she won't do it very much since she doesn't like to put her emotions too into it, fearing it will make her end up hurting someone else that isn't Eggman.

Cream is a brave little rabbit, even standing up for herself in situations where she's forced into something she doesn't want, such as being kidnapped. This bravery also helps when she goes on adventures, keeping her spirits high and not worrying too much about the dangers. (until she's actually in danger, anyway.) Though, that doesn't help the fact that she's a little naive, being that she's still a young rabbit, and doesn't always understand or see things right off the bat. This also shows when she befriends anyone, because Cream generally trusts someone wholeheartedly when meeting them, so long as they don't pull any stunts like the good Doctor has. When the going gets tough, though, Cream gets it done. She's a go-getter, and has her own dreams she wants to achieve.

Oh, what are those dreams, you ask? She herself still isn't sure yet. But maybe she'll want to see the world one day, being such an adventurer. Orrr perhaps a school will help show her the way!

Cream tends to adapt to new situations pretty quickly, and loves to learn new things. She also strives to help everyone she can, within her own limitations. She might not be the hardest worker all the time, seeing as she enjoys being active in everything she does, but she sets her mind to whatever task is presented to her. Let's just hope that a fighting school won't traumatize her in the end, shall we? She also doesn't like being a thorn in peoples' sides, nor being thought of as too nosy, so she will tend to err on the side of bothering people when they seem hard at work. She will, however, always offer to help if they seem to be in dire need of it. She's also considerate of others' feelings when talking with them; she generally finds out things about her friends through their interactions, and remembers them so that she'll feel like she knows and understands them better.

Her motivations are, quite simply, her friends, as well as her mother. Cream knows fully well how hard her mother has worked raising her the way she wanted, and seeing her friends work hard makes her want to do so as well. It gives her the strength to keep going, even when things take a turn for the worse. Cream would never willingly let her friends down, and would do just about anything to prove she can be just as hard a worker as the older students. She is also proud of what she can do, and is always attempting new things as she discovers them. However, she does not brag about what she can do, and is rather modest. After all, it's not good manners to rave about yourself, is it?

She considers Big the Cat and Knuckles the Echidna as her big brothers, and considers Amy Rose and Blaze the Cat as big sisters. Though Amy is probably whom she considers her best friend, she loves all of her friends equally! (Oh, and Cheese? Lifelong companion. Best friends to the end. Cream would never, ever leave Cheese behind. Heck, she's even bringing him with her to the school!)

The Worst Backstory Ever:

Cream the Rabbit was born to Vanilla the Rabbit and an unnamed father rabbit. When she turned three, she found a lone Chao in the forest, and decided to call him Cheese. She and Cheese became close friends ever since. She also found a Chao that was related to Cheese, and called him Chocola, allowing Vanilla to take care of him.

Not long after she turned six, Cream ran into her first trouble spot. While playing with Cheese in the forest, the rabbit got caught in the 'Wrong Place at the Wrong Time' trap, being captured by Dr. Robotnik, presumably to roboticize her. Thankfully for her, Sonic was hot on Robotnik's trail, and deftly defeated the EggHammer Tank II, releasing Cream. This was her first time meeting the famous Mr. Sonic, but all she got out of him was a surprised remark about her good manners when she bowed and thanked him. She wanted to find out more about the incident, and so she decided to go on her own journey, and ended up battling Robotnik a couple more times herself, using Cheese as her main attack. She didn't enjoy doing this, but Robotnik didn't exactly allow her to escape each time she ran into him.

Eventually, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Cream all met up back in the forest, Cream wanting to tell her mother that everything was okay. But before they could get to her, Robotnik appeared and sucked captured her up in his new machine. (Obviously he didn't have enough dairy in his robots.) With the seven Chaos Emeralds, Sonic unleashed another can of whup-ass on Robotnik, freeing Cream's mom. This is how Cream first became friends with Team Sonic.

Of course, in this canon, danger happens far, far too often. Such is the case when Chocola and Froggy go missing. Cream teams up with Amy Rose and Big the Cat to figure out what happened to them. Throughout their journey they meet up with some of the other teams that are also pursuing Robotnik for their own reasons, as well as Robotnik himself (or at least fakes of him created by Metal Sonic). She didn't know about the rest of the team, but man, Cream was getting weirded out with all the fakes and all the fighting. At least she wasn't hurting anyone in the process, right? At least... not humans. Because you know, destroying robots is okay. Because Mr. Sonic does it. (Okay no, Cream doesn't like hurting robots either. Think Amy and Gamma's interactions in Sonic Adventure.) Cream consented to continue going along with her team to the end, because even if she did have to fight more, someone had to know where Chocola and Froggy were.

Welp, then came the GIANT EGG FLEET and oh jeez Cream was getting rather nervous about this. How many fake Eggmans were they going to fight, anyway!? Thankfully, the next one they fought happened to give them the answer, as once they defeated the mighty Egg Emperor armor, Chocola and Froggy appeared unharmed! (And amazingly Cream was not questioning how this happened! Just hope it wasn't liquid mercury and that they're poisoned, guys.) But with what Cream witnessed next, you'd hope she didn't get traumatized. Metal Sonic appeared and blew up part of the Final Fortress, rebuilding himself into Metal Madness. Cream only witnessed about a fourth of this transformation before she simply hid her face and held onto her first big brother Big. But when she realized the truth, that it was Metal Sonic that orchestrated all of this, she gladly followed Amy and Big for one last battle against the towering monstrosity. This was the time she finally spoke out against Metal, with the line 'I can't believe you would do such a thing!' while battling him, showing her immense bravery. Once their part of the battle was over, the other three teams did their job, and the world was yet again saved from... was there even going to be an invasion this time? Because if so, Metal was doing a better job than Robotnik was.

ANYWAY, her next big thing was getting lost somewhere and then finding and befriending Emerl the Gizoid. Emerl gets found by Chaos Gamma, and has to fight him alone because Cream hates to fight. After Emerl sees her cry because of how bad she felt about him getting hurt, he begins to wonder about emotions, Cream happily teaching him as they go on. After a few encounters with Chaos Gamma, Emerl does his crazy thang and Sonic has to take both Robotnik and him down. Which makes poor Cream sad, losing a friend like that.

But not to worry, because Cream soon finds him again! ... Eeeexcept it's a copy of him. Gemerl. G-Mel. Gemel. Whaaatever you wanna call him. Either way, Robotnik does kooky stuff to the world after putting a chaos emerald in the G-Dude, and Cream gets separated from Sonic and Tails, ending up in Cyber Track Zone after getting lost. Upon being found by Sonic, she goes along with him and the rest of the team to Altar Emerald, watching the spectacle of the last few battles between Sonic and Robotnik, and then Sonic and Robotnik vs. Super Gemerl. And boy, was Cream happy to find that after Gemerl was deactivated, Tails was able to reprogram him to be nice to everyone! Cream gained another friend that day. (Although it could be said that Gemerl probably became the butler of the rabbit household from that day forward.)

Cream's next adventure was a surprising one; gaining yet another new friend in Blaze the Cat, after being found hiding in some bushes! Yes, Cream certainly gains plenty of friends these days, doesn't she? ... Anyway. Cream immediately trusts her, surprising Blaze quite a bit. Cream follows Blaze throughout her adventure, cheering her on during the fights with Robotnik. Cream ends up telling Blaze tidbits about her friends, such as Amy being able to locate Sonic, and Knuckles' gullibility, but it shows how well she knows her friends. Unfortunately, she gets captured by Robotnik. (again!) But Blaze beats up Robotnik's final mech and rescues her. Sadly, Blaze has to go at the end, but when Sonic tells her that Blaze will come back, Cream becomes hopeful for meeting her again someday.

Cream then again teamed with Amy, who recruited Vector from Team Chaotix as their power user for a chance at the EX Grand World Prix. Cream was almost left behind at the beginning, but raced hard along with the rest of the team and beat the other three teams, even a rematch with Team Dark, where it was only Amy and Cream against Shadow and Rouge, as well as a rematch against Team Babylon. Though since apparently everyone won that shouldn't be much of a big deal, right? What is canon in Riders 8|

((OOC Note: I really don't know what to do with her very small and/or optional appearances in both Shadow The Hedgehog and Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, so I am going to omit them. I hope that's alright!))

Anything Else?:

- Cream can run pretty fast, but nowhere near as fast as Sonic (despite her speed in Sonic Advance 2.). She can also fly faster than Tails, but nowhere near as long.
- She's around 2'3", which means she's actually pretty small, but still big for a rabbit in most peoples' eyes.
- Her favorite food is ice cream, but she makes sure not to eat a whole lot of it at once. It can sure give you a headache!
- Her Chao, Cheese, is her main form of attack when she's in danger. So if you threaten her, look out for Chao in the face! If Cheese can dismantle Robotnik's machines, he can do a number on other people! In reality the Chao's hits don't hurt, but he can certainly ram.
- She will most likely avoid Eggman's Political Science class. |D

In-Character 1st person writing sample (journal):

I hear it's going to be snowing soon! It might be cold, but it's always fun to play in the snow! Just be sure you all dress up warmly, okay? It'll be so much fun! Who wants to make a snowman with me?

I wonder how much snow we'll be getting? I guess finding out will be part of the fun, huh? I can't wait!

~Sample #2, uh, pretend it's spring now. Or something. In March. April. Whenever. dammit Liz you gave me this idea~

It's finally getting warmer! Now we can all go outside and explore! I'm gonna go pick some flowers and make crowns for my friends! Who wants to help out? I'll even show you all how to do it! It'll be fun, I promise~!

Hey, Knuckles! When's the Treasure Hunting Club's next meeting? I can't wait to explore some more. It was so much fun last time I went! Maybe I'll find something even better next time!

~Sample #3, because I wanted to do an intro post one |D~

Wooow, this school is so big! It took me a long time to explore it! I don't even think I was able to see everything, I'm sure I missed a few rooms at least.

Hi, everyone I haven't met yet! My name is Cream! You can't see him, but I brought my Chao friend along, and his name is Cheese! If you see me, you'll probably see him following me. I hope we can all become friends!

In-Character 3rd person writing post:

It was snowing! Cream could hardly believe her eyes when she woke up and looked outside. They were right, it was snowing! She quickly got changed into her normal school clothes, but made sure to put on a few extra layers and a coat, because as her mother always told her, 'never go outside without plenty of layers to keep yourself warm. You might catch a cold otherwise.' Mind, she wanted to get out there as quickly as possible, since the snow had stopped falling and it could go away, but she wasn't about to disobey what she knew would be her mother's wish.

"Come on, Cheese! Let's go!" Cream didn't even have to wake Cheese up, as the Chao was already at the window and seeing the snow for himself, bouncing up and down in the air happily. "Chao, chao!" Quickly he followed the rabbit through the hallways and outside.

The moment she opened the doors, Cream's eyes grew wide. It was like a winter paradise! Not fit for exploring or adventuring, but the young rabbit could have so much fun in it all the same! Maybe she should find some of her friends... but they would probably come out soon! Besides, some of them could be sleeping, and she didn't want to disturb them if they didn't want to be up yet. It was a little early...

But for now, it was snowman time! Cream began rolling some snow into a ball, bigger and bigger... until it became a little hard to push. A little ways away from her, Cheese was rolling his own little snowball.

And eventually, Cream rolled up a second snowball, making sure not to roll it too big, so she could pick it up and put it on top of the smaller ball. When it was done, she did so, and Cheese picked up his own ball (with some difficulty) and placed it on top.

...But they didn't have anything to make a face on it! Aww... well, at least it was a snowman in spirit. Cream could go see if she could borrow a few olives and a carrot from Nancy... then she could show it to her friends! That was an idea!

"Let's go borrow some things from Mr. Nancy!" Cream suggested, a notion that excited Cheese. They were going to finish their snowman! If only her friends were here right now to witness this... They'd probably be up by the time she got back.

They ran along towards the cafeteria, to ask about that food...
