✨️Stardust Speedway✨️

I've been obsessed with the Sonic CD soundtrack as of late, and seeing the popularity of its two debut characters in anticipation for sonic 4, I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring of redesigning them (+ Sage,who says metals the only one of eggmans villainous progeny who gets to have any fun...) for my rendition of one of the games most famous levels!

Hope you like this art! Closeups are down below under the cut:

[raptorfae53]

KALOSIAN RILLABOOM(Grass-Fairy), BLAZIKEN (Fire-Electric), AND BLASTOISE (Water-Steel). 🐒🐓🐢

In all truth, I don't like much about Pokémon Legends ZA.

I've never been the biggest fan of Kalos to be perfectly fair (mostly from a gameplay perspective),not to mention my personal fondness for the concept of botw style pokemon games that give substance and history to the often urbanised regions in-game by seeing how they came to be (for example jubilife going from a base camp in PLA to a huge city in DPP). Alas, my hopes have been dashed with the reveal of a modern, city based and honestly dull setting we've seen done a million and one times before in a million and one different pokemon stories.

Anyways,regardless of all of that one question remains, how would I have done it?

Simply put, the Matter of France with pokemon, or a pokemon game set in the aftermath of the kalos regions great war and the destruction of AZs weapon as a rough analogy for France through the collapse of Rome to the crowning of Charlemagne as emperor, with the player character meeting several different factions as they travel across the region and playing a hand in the formation of kalos by helping unite these disparate folk against an threat bigger than all of them combined (I'm going with Hoopa, I know it's not much of a story but this whole thing is still in its early days).

Anyways,what do you think, I've had thoughts on what other Legends stories and starters could look like for other regions too, do let me know if you'd be interested in hearing any of them?...

Further Design information down below:

Kalosian Rillaboom (Grass-Fairy) - representing the Gauls, Bretons and other celtic people's, inspired by celtic warriors and druids as well as orangutans and bonobos as opposed to the gorilla inspiration of its Galarian counterpart, not to mention the knowledge of medicinal and remedial plants both are famously known for. This pokemon is specialised for HP and special defence.

Kalosian Blaziken (Fire-Electric) - Representing the Franks and other Germanic peoples, inspired by the warriors, raiders, pirates and like, their chainmail armour, feathered helmets and the germanic gods thor and tyr, as well as the association of France with a rooster. This pokemon is specialised for physical attack and speed.

Kalosian Blastoise (Water-Steel) - representing the Romans and other Latin peoples, inspired naturally by roman legionaries and the famed testudo formation they mastered, as well as the ballista and the serrated shells of the Indian Star and Madagascan Radiated tortoises. This pokemon is specialised for physical defence and special attack.

Ever After High Reimagined: Dexter Charming Character Bio/Redesign:

Dexterous “Dexter” Charming

Bisexual

Elder Son of Prince Charming (English-Persian)

Dexter is the forgotten middle child of the three charming kids, and boy, doesn't he know it… Compared to his superstar siblings Dexter, mousy and straightforward with a penchant for tech, has no discernable destiny as of yet despite fervent, and unwelcome speculation.

Dexters plans for the year, whatever those were got thrown out of the window when a small pep talk he gives on the eve of Raven Queen’s signing snowballs into active rebellion against everything the establishment stands for, destiny included and since then he's sort of hovered around her eclectic friends/band, though it's becoming clear his attachment to their gothy bassist is clearly deeper than just a simple friendship…

Likes: videogames,coding,books,scarves and Taylor Quick's music.

Dislikes: his dad,horses,tech-illiteracy,overly complicated outfits and being compared to people.

Spellbinding Style: plane-jane princely fare. Compared to his brother and sister Dexter is very no nonsense when it comes to fashion, wearing pretty much what's expected of him as a prince in public and comfortable jeans and sweaters when not, though he does admittedly have a fondness for scarves,ascot and the like…

Companion creature: Cottonhorn the rabbit, who is technically darlings pet but always liked Dexter better, and who likes to hang out with him while doing programming and yes, jokes about him being a rabbit when computers are supposed to have mice have been made, they're typically not very funny…

Hexworthy vex: Techno-illiteracy. Dexter has a reputation for being good with tech and as such often gets called aside by friends and family to help with tech problems, sometimes however these “problems” are insultingly easy to fix, and Dexter wishes more people would actually try to troubleshoot their tech before defaulting to giving him a ring.

“Oh Curses” moment: Try as he might, dexters resentment,particularly towards his parents and younger brother does get the best of him sometimes, his need to prove himself better or more particularly cleverer than his fawned upon little brother can in the long run, royally screw him over…

Storied Secret: Dexter is actually his father's elder son, and would have been his heir had it not been for his father pulling some strings to get daring the role, and by extent the esteem and glory that came with it. Granted, this is a pretty open secret, but one that King and Queen charming don't especially in the public zeitgeist, neither does Dexter for that matter, as its lead to a bunch of very nasty rumors about him being cursed,hexed or otherwise…

Deepest wish: For his parents to stop comparing him to his brother regardless of aspect, dexters no good with a sword and certainly no horseman (as a matter of fact he's quite scared of them) but he's skilled in many other areas wouldn't you know, not that his parents, particularly his father would notice compared to Daring’s latest bout of dragonslaying…

5 Fantastical Facts

Dexter is a part of the technical team of the Eah drama club, being as good with computers as he is he usually handles the sound and lighting aspects of rehearsals. He in turn lends this expertise to the rebels, acting as a roadie of sorts for their gigs. (Not to mention he gets to hang out with Raven a bit more than usual doing so…)

Despite what his geeky stylings might imply, like his siblings Dexter is actually very naturally athletic, he's just not been given many chances to really show it off.Time and time again during spellementary and prep school he tried out for sports team after sports team, but was always brushed over or admitted only as a substitute player. Though considering that Daring was a part of many of those teams, Dexter thinks his dad might have something to do with that last thing, wouldn't want to show up the family's golden boy after all…

Dexter spends most of his free time in ever after highs vast library, reading every last thing he can get his hands on to pass the time, losing himself and track of time in tomes upon tomes of literature.And though usually a solitary pastime hes lately found some common ground with fellow bookworm Raven Queen, who being a budding author herself as well as a Rebel and a rockstar (is there nothing she can't do…) likes to read out the latest drafts and chapters of her work as he's setting up tech for Rebels shows.

All of Dexters time reading has caused him to absorb a bevy of trivia and general knowledge, beyond being terrifyingly good at quizzes, he's also not half bad with riddles, and as a result has struck up an unorthodox friendship with a few of the Wonderlandians, in particular maddie hatter on account of a certain few mutual connections and friends, on account of being able to understand and decipher the riddles they love so much.

Despite his love of some more typically geeky interests, such as a love of star trek,dexters tastes in pop culture are actually pretty pedestrian, he's particularly fond of the music of Taylor Quick, having seen her live on her “Ages” tour, as well as rubbishy reality TV. (he also takes comfort in knowing that for all his faults, his dad never signed the Charmings up for something like that, like Daring’s spotlight-loving ego needed any more of an increase)

The last royal profile, and final profile of 2025 is Dexter Charming, the fittingly oft forgotten third Charming child. I've said it before but a massive,massive thank you to everyone whose stuck around for these, this won't be the last profile, or the last time you'll see these characters in written media (though I do tend to be a notorious procrastinator,so keep that in mind)

Anyways, I hope above all else you've liked these profiles, I'll hopefully see you for the next ones come march 2026...

Extra Thoughts and Information down below.

I kinda like the concept of Dexter being the most "villainous" Charming kid, and by extent the most human.

Not that he's a bad guy or anything, but a myriad of factors, his admittedly selfish resentment of his brother and father and the lack of an destiny, and by extent expectation to act any more heroic than your average noble,not to mention him being out of the limelight compared to the rest of his family means he's more likely to be underhanded, deceitful or otherwise.

If anything he's a foil to his twin sister Darling,as while both are willing to break the rules for justice, Darling wants justice for all, whilst Dexter wants justice primarily for himself. However the pitfalls of both sides, Darling being lonely and isolated and Dexter often screwing himself over are respectively systemic and self-served.

Finally, despite all my badmouthing, I do reiterate that Dexter really is a good person, he's just been beaten down so much he just doesn't see it in himself to be as extraordinary as he could be, despite all his snark and sarcasm at his circumstances, Dexter needs to be less cynical and really push himself to be more than anyone expects of him, hence why he's really a rebel associated royal than a full-blown rebel. (Again, Darling could be the opposite, a rebel whose close association with royals means she can't be public about it,not yet anyway...)

Ever After High Reimagined: Darling Charming Character Bio/Redesign:

Darling Charming

Lesbian

Daughter of Prince Charming (English-Persian)

The princess's princess, eldest child of King and Queen charming and the only person to match and exceed apple as the fairest in the land. Beyond all the extravagant balls and fanciful outfits however Darling is a girl with many secrets, chiefly among them her secret life moonlighting as the white knight, a mysterious masked vigilante on horseback who defends the innocent and fights for justice wherever its in short supply, and despite her trappings of perfection,is in truth a deeply eccentric young woman, passionate,honourable and determined for her noble,knightly cause. If only both her lives weren't so terribly lonely…

Likes: Horses,girls,swordplay,heroism and chivalry and truly outrageous rococo stylings.

Dislikes: Living a double life,injustice, being objectified,guns (so dishonourable…),and how her dad treats dexter, even if she feels she can't do much about it.

Spellbinding Style: A maximalist mashup of knightly fare and rococo fashion,we're talking hoop skirts and chainmail, delicate lace and sturdy plate and big, extravagant hairdos and helmets, or at least ideally, as due to Darlings current circumstances she's unfortunately forced to choose one or the other.

Companion creature: Sir Gallopad, though technically he's Dexters Horse. Dexter however is no equestrian, actively avoiding participating in such activities knowing disaster will inevitably ensue, so has no problem with his sister taking Gallopad for joyrides to commit acts of derring-do. They both can tell Gallopad much prefers Darlings company anyways…

Hexworthy vex: the feeling of powerlessness in her family's current dynamic. Darling knows and wants to be something more than a smile and a wave and something to be won, and although she doesn't show it, her fathers insistence on all of them following a strict dynamic as a “perfect” fairytale family is driving her crazy!

“Oh Curses” moment: Darling has come very close to accidentally revealing her secret passions on myriad occasions. In truth Darling is a very lonely person on account of her double life,with few people (ie, Dexter) knowing and having nobody to really talk to about her love for swords and vigilantism,but isn't willing to have her eccentricities be known for the selfish fear of what could happen to her, especially in the likely event Headmaster Grimm got involved.

Storied Secret: Besides the whole double life as a Knight thing, obviously, Darling is pretty sure she exclusively likes women, which when your dad is very set on having her be a part of a “perfect” fairytale marriage,married to a man… yeah she's going to keep that fact under wraps,at least whilst she's living under his roof…

Deepest wish: To be able to live as both the Princess and Knight she wants to be,free from the expectations of her dad and Grimm, until recently this seemed an unattainable desire but with the emergence of the Rebels…maybe there's a chance?, if she's willing to trust her secret identity with them that is…

5 Fantastical Facts:

A skilled swordswoman. Darling taught herself swordplay from an early age and due to having to scavenge her weapons has developed an agile,terrifying and wholly unique fighting style, wielding a rapier blade in one hand and a typical slashing sword in the other. Outside of her armour, Darling has found her natural agility useful in a myriad of situations as a princess, and in private trains in gymnastics and aerobics to keep said skills sharp.

Speaking of armour, Darlings current ensemble is made up of odds and ends stolen from her family's armoury, and being made for 6 foot something warriors as opposed to a 5’6 princess (5’9 including her hair) means its a bit…loose in some places. Darling would love to know how to make her own suit of armour one day come to think of it, though how one would smith chainmail completely anonymously is beyond her.

Beneath all of said armour, Darling is actually quite buff, as it turns out running around in plate mail and fighting monsters and ne'er do wells is excellent for building muscle, however Darling is well aware that her toned physique would not be considered “ladylike” by polite society, and as such her preferred poofy garments, in addition to looking super adorable and oh-so stylish, prove useful for hiding said gains from her prying parents, or even worse, Blondie!

Every week, at a specific time and place away from everything, Darling has a duel with a Knight in red armour who shimmers in and out of reality and from the scant conversation she's had with him seems to be stuck in the remnants of wonderland, Darling wishes she knew a way to free him and properly meet her friend and sparring partner.

Darling shares the bulk of her classes with one Apple white, but despite being around each other for most of the week between classes and being her brother Daring’s destined princess ,Darling has never really had the chance to talk to apple,who acts flighty and standoffish whenever Darling as much as looks at her, which Darling herself thinks is a darn shame, especially since apple’s very cute…

The final rebel profile of this week's set is Darling, the seemingly perfect princess with a secret,knightly double life. Since this is one of the last two profiles of this series (volume?) I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone whose stopped by to check out this project as I've written it, your support has been appreciated so so much.

Further information down below:

I might be sounding like a broken record at this point, but if it wasn't obvious, Darling is one of my favorite eah characters.

The princess/knight thing I love, but beyond that I love how selfless her whole character really is. Darling,unlike many of the Rebels has little stake if destiny isn't true or not and actively benefits from the system, but defies that to be a protector and a hero to those less fortunate instead of sitting around reaping the benefits of an unfair system.

If anything I think Darling best gets the idea of what a leader or ruler means out of her siblings, and that despite her father making Daring his heir, Darling is the one who looks out for and wants best for the populous, and deeply represents the fact that she's basically ordered to just stand around looking pretty and doing nothing. (Her vigilantism meaning she's outside of the well to do bubble that dominates Ever after high's social scene might have something to do with that,alongside her kinship with the displaced wonderlandians,being a little mad herself...)

Also of note, I thought it'd be fun if Darling was a distinctly feminine character, more often the knight in many of these "queer/sapphic knight/princess" yarns is the more masculine one so I thought it'd be fun to switch it up a bit, especially as a very femme trans woman myself who loves similarly feminine (if more alternative) fashion myself... (who is the princess in this dynamic I hear you ask,you'll have to wait and see...)
