Description [BIO]


 'Tiana Zander is the first of a new species on planet Mobius.
  born from Comm. Alan Zander and Queen Aleena Hedgehog, "Tia" is a Human/Anthro Hybrid.

  prior to her birth, such interspecies relations between "Overlanders" and "Mobians"
  was considered impossible (both biologically AND socially.)

  but, the friendship and love between Alan and Aleena
  as well as their conception of Tiana proved this fact to be false.

  However..due to "bad blood" from the Great War, many Humans and Anthropoids
  looked down on Tiana as an "Abomination", and a "Freak of Nature"
  and, have tried numerous times in her life to kill her.

  (fortunately, there are those who believe Tia will bring about a great peace,
   uniting Humans and Anthros someday, and have strived to protect her from such threats.)


  As a teenager, Tiana is every bit the "wildfire" that her mother was at her age.
  and, she looks up to her father (who in her eyes, is every bit a hero as her own half-brother Sonic.)

  Deciding to not let her hardships dominate her life, Tia follows her parents example,
  and, tries hard to be fair and kind, treating all people and creatures as equals.

  (However, she is in no way a pushover. and, CAN be quite a "scrapper" when she needs to be.)


   Tiana has a good relationship with her half-sister; Sonia.
   as well as Sonia's best friend; Princess Sally Acorn.

   Tiana also has a close relationship with a human named: Martin.
   (a "relationship" that is oddly similar to what her own parents shared years ago.)'



 *****


 After observing artwork of my character (Labeled "Dark Tia", as they are an AU)
 I decided to draw Tia again, only THIS TIME doing it completely with color (and, not just a simple pencil sketch)

 For this artwork, I decided to depict Tia as a teenager (about the same age Sonic is in mainstream canon.)

 I tweaked up her design a bit (using the characters from "The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog" as reference)
 and, gave her a new clothing atire and color scheme (the basis of which is "Laura Croft", or "Kim Possible")

 her Sonic-like shoes serve a purpose: They were a gift from Sonic, as his brand of shoes NEVER wear out.

 I feel I must remind watchers that when it came to Tiana's design, I wanted her to truly look like a Hybrid Species.
 None of that "Humans with Animal Ears", or "Human-Like Animals"

 her being a furry humanoid with animal features makes her a seemless blend of a Human and Anthro.


 This artwork may have some "minor errors", but I think it's authentic enough for posting.

It's a concept unique to ME, and my Sonic Fiction.
the whole "Great War" between Mobians (Anthros) and Overlanders (Humans) intrigued me.

mainly because I wondered of a situation where one of both species fell in love rather than hate each other as society expects
(and, to be fair. SOME Sonic Canon has made this an easy concept to grasp.)

the comics later made things easier with the origin of the Mobian species
revealed to be a result of Xorda gene bombs, which mutated the native animal species by infusing their genetics with human DNA.

because of this fact, It was easy to accept the idea of Humans and Mobians reproducing.


Once I went with that, I started my "Mobilander" concept (here is a definition: 
the notion of the new hybrid species struggling to exist in a world that may not be ready for them.

much of It is similar to The X-Men, in being who are born different, and struggling against bigotry over being so different.

interesting, a human animal Hybrid. Hybrid fan characters are rare to find.

They are "rare" on account of how uneasy fans are on the subject (See "Princess Elise", and the "Iron Queen".)

apparently, there are those who think a romantic relationship between human and anthro characters is akin to "bestality"
(which I think is inaccurate, as characters like Sonic may be BASED on an animal..but that doesn't mean he IS one.
  he may have.; evolved from the base animal, but all things considered, he's practically human.)

The whole point of Tiana being a Hybrid was to show Diversity.
that despite their obvious differences, her parents loved each, and proved that peaceful co-existance between humans and anthros IS possible.
(also, she can be considered a metaphor for any given minority struggle in strict societies.)


Hopefully..You are one of the few Sonic Fans who is more accepting on "Interspecies Relationships" and cross-species characters.

Sonic Canon ALSO has their "Hybrid" characters as well.
Princess Sally Acorn counts as a hybrid, being "Part Squirrel, and Part Groundhog."

(Sonic X even implied a romance between Vanilla and Vector, who are a Rabbit and Crocodile. WEIRD.)


But, somehow Non-Human hybrids are more acceptable than actual Human/Anthro hybrids.

oh, how I wish people would be more open-minded.

Sally isn't Cannon to SEGA, she was  created for the series " Sonic SAT AM" Archie comics picking up where the show ended had taken over for Sally's character.


and yes I'm aware of Vector having romantic feelings for an older woman who happens to be a rabbit and a mother.

It's going to be hard for people to adjust to the changes in society so it may take them a few years to accept it.

Right, sorry. I am so used to "blending" different Sonic continuities in my fanon,
that I forget the boundaries between "Sega" and "DiC/Archie."

On a side note, it seems you have "something" against Sally (not being picky or anything, It's just something I noticed.)

Yeah. I wasn't a big fan of the character. But I'm starting to like the reboot version of her.

MetroXLR In reply to The-Nina-Beans88 [2015-07-26 11:22:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I still think that "reboot" thing was Archie Comics ripping off DC's "Flashpoint/New 52" reboot
(I know it was to retcon everything following Ken Penders departure, but STILL.)

with the Fandom, the reboot was real " Love It/Hate It".


Where do you stand on it?

The-Nina-Beans88 In reply to MetroXLR [2015-07-26 11:28:29 +0000 UTC]

so far the reboot of the comics is pretty good. the choice of SEGa getting rid of any romance between sonic and or other characters was a smart choice, we can now see the comic for what it it without any shipping wars.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MetroXLR In reply to The-Nina-Beans88 [2015-07-26 11:44:58 +0000 UTC]

Shipping Wars itself is unnecessary, given the "Multiverse Concept."
even BEFORE the reboot, they tried to make it clear that there was more than one version of the Archie Sonic Universe.

One example is the "Mobius 25-30 Years Later" storyline
which depicted a POSSIBLE future where Sonic married Sally, and became King.

That future was never suppose to be absolute (it even had different versions of it.)


and, then there was the Zonic Zone Cops, which patrolled different Sonic Universes.


Anyway, the problem with ANY shipping war, is the fans inability to recognize the multiverse.
and, seem to think there is only ONE given version of their fandom (for that reason, the griping about 'Sonic Boom' was pointless.)


For me, I'm a SonicxAmy fan..yet, I've never had a problem with SonicxSally, either.
I accept it for what it is, and let the fans of that pairing have fun in that given universe.


I remain on the fence on whether the elimination of romance between characters will solve anything
(or, if that IS what they are doing. because, let's face it: even the games have some romance in them.)

call me crazy, but I find a world without genuine love to be mighty depressing (but, that's just ME.)


We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
until then, well; Fans still have their fanfictions.

Oh I was thinking in the future she's actually 13 years old :/ my bad she's 13 years old in my fanficion she's 20 years old about to turn 21 years old In my fanficion my bad :/ but that's my fanficion that Sophia turns 21 
Sophia is younger than Sonic Manic and Sonia  and older then Anita mind if  I use Anita in my fanficion 
oh yeah and I have a little brother for SU his name is Speed Sophia named him 
that was a mistake on the 21 years old part she's actually 13 almost 14 years old

But I must say that the colors of her clothes kind of clash with her fur.

MetroXLR In reply to EpicCrasher [2015-05-08 18:36:03 +0000 UTC]

That was kinda the point. I didn't want her clothes colors to blend too much with her fur.
HOWEVER, this isn't Tiana's default outfit (well, the shoes are, but everything else is custom.)

Future drawings will depict her in different clothes with different colorations
(for example: the clothes you gave "Dark Tiana" are in my Tiana's closet.)
