Chozo Headcanons: Eggs and the Chicks Inside Them

Egg! I painted a few Chozo eggs as part of a warm-up, so I decided to jot down a few thoughts about their enigmatic little puffball children while eggs are on the mind.

This post talks about the physiological structure of the eggs of four different tribes, what Chozo babies look like + their early development, cultural symbolism surrounding the egg, visual references, and more. I ended up having a lot more to say than I initially realized, and elaborated on some things I've discussed in previous posts, so strap in for a fun ride.

Chozo eggs first develop within the laying parent's ovary sans the shell: the shell only begins to develop in the oviduct after fertilization. If the egg(s) remain unfertilized by the time the parent's laying cycle ends, they will be reabsorbed. Egg synthesis takes precious energy and nutrients: the body is a well-oiled machine, and Chozo can't afford to waste any resources in this economy! The laying of infertile eggs is usually tied to poor health and hormonal imbalance.

Fertilized eggs hatch within 5 months of being laid. Most individuals lay one or two eggs per clutch. Three isn't uncommon, and four is considered a lot, but not terribly absurd. The most prolific individuals can lay up to five eggs. This is incredibly uncommon and not ideal, but not unheard of: there's at least literature that exists to support the parents of five-egg clutches.

Some tribes produce larger eggs than others: general rule of thumb is the larger the eggs, the smaller the clutch.

It is normal for parents to fashion a keepsake from the pieces of a hatchling's shell. If they can locate it after it falls off, the child's egg tooth is another common memento.

The Tribes and their Eggs

The Chozo tribes differ in many ways, including the morphology of their eggs.

Thoha eggs are smooth and tend to be a solid color. They are typically pale in tone with a sturdy shell and a slight, evenly tapered form. Color ranges tend to lie on the colder end of the spectrum.

The Thiloo tribe produces large, vaguely pear-shaped eggs with thick shells and hearty yolks. Their surface is mildly rough with raised granules. Coloration ranges from creamy whites to pale yellows.

The Mawkin are many and diverse: this fact is reflected in their eggs. Their shells can be pale blue, green, or yellow, with blue being the least common and yellow/cream being the most abundant. Mawkin shells are hard and porous. They are noticeably porous, but not quite as rough as the Thiloo.

Hatzu eggs are large, round, and exceptionally smooth—so much so that the unaffiliated might think they were made of glass! But no: their shells are indeed porous, just as the eggs of any other tribe. They lay blue eggs with varying degrees of vibrancy: some are very lightly speckled.

The Hatzu and Thiloo are both one-egg-per-clutch tribes: doubles are unheard of, and triplets are pretty much biologically impossible.

The eggs from above lined up: this time, they're to scale. Thoha and Mawkin eggs are the same size on average, though exact shape and size are dependent on the individual. Hatzu and Thiloo eggs are among the largest produced by any of the tribes.

Thoha

Thoha eggs are beautiful in their simplicity. Their shells are often a light variation of blue, grey, green, or purple with a glossy surface. Thoha eggs are of what one might consider the "standard size" for Chozo eggs: most tribes' eggs are around their height, though exact width and shape vary.

Thoha nestlings are the image of your typical altricial Chozo newborn: blind and near-naked at birth, it takes ten days for them to open their eyes and two weeks for them to gain a full covering of soft natal down.

Thoha parents are diligent and focused on allowing their children the quaint joys of childhood while fostering a love of learning and a sense of curiosity. They take advantage of every learning opportunity, and though every individual is different, they have a reputation for being some of the most patient teachers. A Thoha child's early life is filled with new sensory experiences and engaging puzzle-toys designed to encourage motor skills and entertain the use of different sections of the brain.

Thiloo

Large eggs for large babies! The Thiloo homeworld is frigid and unforgiving: their hatchlings are known for having some of the largest post-natal measurements out of all the tribes. Thiloo chicks are taller and heavier than the infants of most other tribes, and they grow exponentially within the first three months of their lives. Thiloo babies need to be bulky to survive the planet's eternal winter. Food isn't always available: reliable fat stores will keep them warm throughout the year, supplying them with the energy they need to grow even when sustenance is scarce.

Baby Thiloo are rotund with comical limb proportions. They are born semi-altricial: they rely on their parents for food, but are covered with down upon hatching rather than being completely featherless. This downy covering thickens as they age, and they learn to swim when they're old enough to molt: after their first molt, they gain waterproof feathers.

Thiloo infants tend to pack on the down pretty quickly compared to other Chozo: it takes three days for a newborn Thiloo chick to gain a full, fuzzy coat of down compared to the Mawkin's two weeks. Thiloo infants also open their eyes within the first 24 hours after hatching.

How do these babies get so big? The answer lies within the parent that laid the egg. To start, the typical Thiloo diet is packed full of nutrients and minerals that are a boon to embryonic development, so their yolks are highly nutritious whether they're planning to conceive or not. The marine animals that make up a large portion of their home menu are simply rich in the kind of fats and minerals that would supply an egg with a healthful yolk.

Additionally, Thiloo Chozo are genetically predisposed to being tall: I've mentioned previously that the Mawkin tend to be a tall tribe, and the Thiloo are no exception. However, Thiloo nestlings are far taller than the newborns of tribes whose children are wholly altricial at birth. If you saw Mawkin and Thiloo hatchlings side by side, you'd take one look at the Thiloo baby and say "I bet that one's going to grow up to be way taller than the other kid". And you would only be kind of wrong! The Thiloo child will most definitely grow up to be a tall order, but the Mawkin child does indeed have the potential to match their arctic friend in height.

Thiloo parents prepare for laying, and they do so diligently. It's common practice to work with nutritionists and fertility experts prior to conception to seek out their own nutritional deficits and carefully curate a plan to pack their egg's yolk with as many chick-buffing nutrients as possible. The laying parent will fill up on fish from deep within glacier caves to supply their chick with a generous helping of iron, salts and other trace minerals that encourage easy growth in infants of their particular biology. Many blood tests are conducted throughout this period to ensure that speculated conditions are optimal for embryonic development.

The Thiloo are adept at crafting a yolk packed full of protein, fats and other nutrients to promote sufficient growth in their hatchlings. Some parents quite literally engineer their children to be as healthy and hefty as possible to ensure that they thrive in the arctic clime! Cute, bulky, cold-resistant fur coats can come later: a Thiloo parent's first concern is ensuring their child is prepared for survival right off the bat.

Mawkin

If they're not being incubated the old-fashioned way at home, these rigid eggs are housed within a nursery in the university research complex not far from Dairon (also home to the planet's largest medical center). They are diligently guarded by Mawkin midwives and the warrior-monks who make their home in the cliffs above the clinic. This is a long-standing arrangement that has persisted for centuries: it is at once tradition and an earnest act of community service. In any case, it saves the army from having to set aside a contingent of soldiers to protect the facility from wild animals.

The first illustration does not begin to describe the full breadth of Mawkin egg shape and coloration, but it does give us a peek into the world of pattern variation. Not all Mawkin lay patterned eggs, but the ones who do can put out shells dotted with flecks, speckles and spots. No two eggs are exactly the same, and the patterns manifest as the shell forms within the oviduct.

Some doctors believe these patterns serve as camouflage: a holdover from ancient times, when nests had to be guarded from intrusion by enemy factions who sought to lower the Mawkin predecessors' numbers, as well as predators seeking an easy meal. Others have noted that the dark spots on speckled shells tend to contain a higher volume of calcium, and posit that patterns may serve to reinforce the shell in places where the shell is thinner or otherwise lacking in structural integrity.

Whatever the case, it is agreed upon that patterned eggs are "dyed" with these mineral-laden spots as they rotate within the body during the shell's formation. It is also known that a parent's diet can affect the pattern: an individual who is predisposed to producing patterned eggs can guarantee that the spots on their child's shell will be numerous and richly colored if they keep up with proper calcium intake.

Apart from the posited theories on camouflage and structural benefit, there's not really any reason one would (normally) want to affect the appearance of a laid egg's shell prior to laying.

Hatzu

Another large-egged tribe, Hatzu children are unique among the Chozo in that they are precocial: upon hatching, their eyes are already open, and their bodies are covered in natal feathers. Their children also set themselves apart by their lack of an egg tooth: Hatzu babies kick their way out of the shell with their long legs!

Hatzu children are notable for their ability to walk right off the bat. Their arms can be difficult to see through their forest of fuzzy plumage, and they wave their useless wings around with abandon while playing and frolicking afield. To pick these sprightly chicks up for examination, physicians of their tribe will place a hand or two beneath the child's midriff and lift.

Hatzu children do not opt to cling to the neck or breast of their parents as often as infants from other tribes: they are most likely to request a lift from a trusted adult when they are frightened or anxious.

Though they are wont to run and hop about, Hatzu hatchlings aren't very well coordinated yet: they often trip over their own feet or otherwise fall flat. It takes about two months for Hatzu children to get a better grasp on dextrous use of their arms and hands, and 18 months to perfect the art of walking without risk of falling over.

Cultural Significance of the Egg

The egg as a symbol is loaded with cultural significance: it is the vessel through which Chozo children are born, and the basis from which much of life originates: seeds are eggs, generator cores are eggs, planets are eggs, life is an egg.

The egg is sturdily built, yet delicate: it can weather shock to an extent, but it must be guarded. The egg is a force that sustains not life itself, but the potential for life: the yolk within sustains a future organism that itself holds the potential to live and change the fabric of Now. In sustaining this idea, the yolk itself is a vector for life: the vitality it provides is valuable not just to the cells within its porous cradle, but to many outside it. The yolk and the embryo it feeds could have their vitality, the spark through which all power derives, taken at a moment's notice, be it by wild beasts or thieving others.

The egg itself fosters Potential, through which the essence of Life is given pass to bloom: this makes the egg, by extension, a mechanism responsible for the vectors in which Life originates. The shell is a nest, the nest is a shield, the yolk is the basis which feeds the flame of potential, potential fosters the idea of Life which gives rise to power... which, depending on who you ask, is the spoke that all else revolves upon.

Life is an approximate egg.

This is a paraphrased excerpt of Wise Wing the Elder's Allegory of Becoming, which describes the greater significance of the egg in the context of Chozo culture at large. The egg is a vessel for potential, and potential is the force that ushers life. The original text is pretty dense and kind of goes off the rails into the esoteric, but this should sum up the egg in a nutshell.

Chozo babies are born from eggs: Wise Wing draws a connection between potential and life without directly ascribing life as a quality of the egg itself: the yolk holds the closest association with life, though the egg is still part of the cycle of life at large. Wise Wing is rationalizing the means through which the egg serves as a placeholder in the absence of a more specific or centralized cultural symbol that represents life.

Life is a lot of things, and the egg consists of many parts that each serve their own purpose in renewing life. The egg itself is one small part of the greater concept of Life, and Wise Wing goes in depth about this later... but that's neither here nor there. The egg is a convenient symbol for life and various affiliated concepts: it's the beginning of a Chozo's journey to existence, and the Chozo conflate the Egg with all manner of things that "breathe life" to other things within the universe.

The egg is a cradle, the cradle holds the hatchling. The shell is a shield, the shield is a guardian. Yolk is breath is sustenance is necessary is coveted: Life forms will, will covets the yolk, yolk builds up from simpler things, and will begets power. That's at least the logical hierarchy: the more complicated facets of society and Being originate from the egg.

The yolk is often a metaphor for natural resources and other things that drive people to Act. Predation of eggs by wild beasts who seek to consume all the nutrient-rich bits within becomes an allegory for the origins of conflict. The symbolism surrounding the egg in Chozo culture is about as round as the structure itself: they all feed into each other, everything is a cycle, ideas catalyze actions which have consequences.

The Egg is Potential: Potential drives Life. The egg is often conflated with both subjects.

That's enough talk of broader metaphors: bottom line is the egg is a very significant concept with many faces, and one of these faces is the baseline that branches out into many specific symbols.

As for simpler symbolism: the egg can be used to represent children or indicate that a story's setting is within a place where children are reared. The egg is a symbol of parenthood, fertility, infancy, fragility, youth, new growth, and beginnings.

The egg is particularly notable as a symbol of origin: two Mawkin hero-myths involve midwives hearing the subject of the story belting the ancestral war hymns from within the egg, and the hero bursting from the shell fully grown + armed to the bone respectively. The egg is the figurative and literal beginning of the story in both cases. In other stories, the egg serves as a stand-in for the origin of a person, place, or ordeal. Thoha stories dated before their arrival on Zebes speak of an "Egg of Conflict" from which a great calamity or a period of unrest was born.

I've run my mouth quite a bit on symbolism, but I also have a few words on artistic interpretation of the egg. The egg is a largely rounded form, so simplifying it in pursuit of symbolic depiction or artistic expression is a relatively easy task.

Take for example, the orbs held by certain Chozo statues. The orbs they hold are not literal eggs per se, but they can be (and often are) interpreted that way. The young warrior, upon completing the trial set for them by an elder, proves themselves worthy and claims a new tool to gain proficiency with. In this way, the item sphere "hatches", and the warrior claims the fruit within as an aspect of their personal potential. Not only has the technology hatched from its egg: the warrior has, as well.

Anyways, all Chozo have the innate ability to curl up into a spherical shape like the item sphere, and their admiration for such a form has culminated in the invention of the Morph Ball. Now, powersuit users can curl up into an even more compact orb-shape to fit into far smaller spaces. This is useful for exploration, vent shaft maintenance, and a variety of other tasks.

What to Expect When You're Expecting: a Primer on Baby Chozo

Oh, look: it's a newborn Raven Beak and his father.

Most Chozo children hatch blind and naked or almost featherless. They are altricial, with the exception of the Hatzu: these differences are highlighted in the previous sections. Unless specified, it should be assumed that a given milestone is shared among most tribes, including the Hatzu. The typical Chozo child will open their eyes within ten days of hatching: by two weeks, they are covered in soft down. A Chozo hatchling will spend much of the day sleeping until it reaches two and a half years of age.

Chozo babies are fed by the adults around them, either through regurgitation or breaking the food into appropriately-sized pieces for the hatchling to swallow. Fruits are crushed (usually in the beak) and fed in mushy portions. Small, flaky chunks of larger hocks of meat are scraped with the tip of the beak or a handheld utensil. Small enough insects are caught, incapacitated, and fed whole. Portions of a given meal are set aside in a parent's crop to regurgitate for the child later.

A major factor setting Hatzu children apart from the children of other tribes is their ability to walk from birth: they trot alongside their parents, learning to forage for themselves as they grow. They are still fed by their parents: they can't do everything by themselves, but they have a leg up over other kids in early walking and foraging behaviors. Hatzu chicks will eat bugs off the ground while their parents are talking to other adults: children from other tribes don't have as much freedom with snack choices quite so early on in their lives.

Chozo hatchlings are capable of using their voices from day one, but they begin mimicking the vocalizations made by the adults around them as early as three weeks: this is a child's first foray into speaking, though they will not begin properly repeating full words back at their parents until over a year into their life. The sounds they make at this point are mostly "bird-like": it's the tone and rhythm that counts. Chozo parents will "talk" to their children, encouraging their chirps, trills, peeps, and odd-beaked babble by responding with words or sounds of their own.

It takes about two months for a chick to reach the point where it can independently (and reliably) grasp onto a parent's neck for transportation: this is primarily how the child will get around for the next three years of its life. The fact that they spend many hours sleeping is no deterrent to their grasping: Chozo children are capable of maintaining a steady grip while they rest because the joints in their talons will lock in place at certain positions.

A very loose illustration of plumage progression in a Mawkin individual. It's not exact: but it conveys a few of the different "life stages" in plumage. From left to right, we have a naked newborn nestling, a chick covered in natal down, a child with soft transitional feathers, a juvenile growing into their particular bloodline's striking black hue, and an adult with dark, glossy plumage and fully flight-feathered wings.

Most chicks who are in their first coat of down are much lighter or otherwise very different in coloration than they end up as adults. Some baby Chozo have stripes or spots in select areas that are phased out down the line as they grow into their big bird feathers and start displaying the patterns they've inherited.

Baby Chozo have their first molt at eight months of age: fuzzy chicks shed their coat of natal down and gain a fresh covering of soft transitional feathers (except the Thiloo: their first waterproof plumes grow in at this stage). These are no flight feathers, they're still baby feathers. After the first molt, Chozo children will replace their feathers gradually throughout the year just as adults do. It takes four years for a child's transitional feathers to show distinct genetic markings, twelve years for chicks to transition fully to what we would call "juvenile feathers", and 24 years for an adult Chozo to have an even coat of mature feathers.

By 18 months, most chicks will be able to stand and walk on their own. By two years, a baby's babbling will become more coherent: what were once simply earnest signs of interest in communication transform into almost-recognizable imitations of words. This is when speech education goes into full swing. Speech and motor skills continue to develop, and by four years of age, most children will be capable of speaking coherently to their parents (with the expected differences in vocabulary and communication skills one would see between a small child and an adult).

Bonus: freshly hatched baby Raven Beak.

His voice sounds like if zip ties could chirp.

Okay. So this is like, the funniest prompt that I found, wrote a bit for, and forgot about. I wrote it for a different fandom, and then thought "Organization XIII would be funny for this..." Org. XIII is turned into children and now the Reader has to (make sure they don't die) take care of them. Ages like... 4-9 because that's when children are the funniest. Do what you will with it

ngl im a sucker for old cliche prompts like these, every fandom has at least an au for this specific setting or some kindergarden au lolol

anyway here’s some HCs as to how they’d act and stuff !

Xemnas :

One of the oldest kids, but you don’t really know what to make of him. You were expecting Xemnas to still lead the rest, scare them into submission with a simple glare or something - turns out he’s rather timid. Barely speaks, you get the feeling he’s ignoring you on purpose, just makes a lot of faces and noises to indicate what he’s feeling. 

Somewhat clingy too, but unlike Demyx and Xigbar who want to get your attention through any means possible, Xemnas just grabs onto the hem of your shirt and follows you everywhere in silence. Doesn’t cause much trouble, but he doesn’t help you keep the others in check either, a true neutral I guess. 

Sometimes, he will just disappear and show up whenever you least expect him. Loves to climb and sit on tall places. Spaces out a lot. Compared to the rest, you can probably leave him to his own devices, as long as he’s not left alone with Xigbar or Larxene. 

Xigbar :

Actually the oldest, but pretty annoying and high maintenance. If he got on your nerves as his regular self, then you’re in for a fucking ride - this Xigbar is here to cause problems on purpose. He likes to talk, a lot. And it’s sucks because it’s usually endless and mindless chatter or pointing out everything that he sees. 

If he starts to get bored, he’ll scurry off to bother someone else, but it usually ends with someone crying or hurt. Don’t even bother keeping him on a leash, the bastard is too smart to be contained. 

Xigbar is one of those kids that can be extremely useful if you get him on your side, as he has no problem snitching and ratting out the others. The best way to keep him from losing his other eye or gouging out someone else’s is to bribe or trick him into helping you (just know that he can also be bribed by the other kids, Xigbar WILL betray you). 

Xaldin :

You expected Zexion to be the loner type, but turns out it’s Xaldin - he’ll always be on his own or avoiding the others, usually around the kitchen since you’ve banned everyone from going in there until they return to normal (not that they listen to you, but oh well). 

Xaldin is pretty much like those kids who hate being treated like kids and who pretend to be above the rest. While he might seem calm, it’s really easy to get him riled up, a simple “I bet you can’t do this or that” and he’s off to prove himself. 

Oddly enough, he gets jealous easily - if you give Roxas a cookie or whatever for behaving, then you GOTTA give Xaldin one too or else he’ll throw a fit. The best thing you can do with him is be honest and confess that you need him to chill the fuck out and Not Die :tm: while you take care of the others, he’ll feel all grown up because you told him the truth and will calmly stay in his room. 

Vexen :

One of the oldest kids, the stereotypical kid who only has ONE interest and won’t shut the fuck up about it, which is cute but not everyone has the patience to sit through a 6 hour talk about dinosaurs. You never expected this baby Vexen to be so into dinosaurs out of all things. Of course, just because he only talks about them, doesn’t mean he’s not curious about all that shiny lab equipment. 

You can’t keep him distracted with dinosaur books all day, he still has the heart and mind of a scientist ! Because he’s a very obvious nerd, he’s the target for a lot of members in the organization, namely Larxene - and when Vexen gets flustered or frustrated, he freezes up. Literally. He WILL freeze the entire room too.

Your best bet is to pair him up with Zexion or Xion, since they’ll gladly sit down to listen and learn. The three will gladly stay locked up in the library learning and reading. You just gotta hope Vexen doesn’t instantly crush Zexion and Xion’s dreams by ruining their fairytales with facts and logic.

Lexaeus : 

Also one of the older kids and the tallest too. This Lexaeus is just as stoic and intimidating as the original, but apparently he’s also very sensitive. Everytime he speaks to you it sounds like he might be about to cry. But he looks fine ? So you really don’t know what to do about him. 

Either way, Lexaeus is also very helpful and responsible, so you can trust him to watch over the rowdy kids and keep them relatively safe, just try not to pair him with the suuuper loud ones. 

Probably the type to take the blame and responsibility for any pranks gone wrong under his watch, even if you fully know there’s no way he’s responsible. Lexaeus is the epitome of “I just want everyone to get along”. Somehow, he’s very gentle with the others (as gentle as one can be when straight up dragging Xigbar out of the ventilation system) but he’ll break any toys and other items given to him.

Zexion :

Zexion is very very small, so you can probably understand the stress he’s going through, surrounded by these animals. Like Xemnas and Demyx, he’d be pretty clingy but he wouldn’t be able to follow you around or cling to you with all the others pushing and fighting around. 

So you can either just carry him on your shoulders or leave him with Lexaeus or Vexen as mentioned before. If not, Zexion will wander and either fall asleep in the Grey Area or find the library on his own. 

Not a problematic child, really. Zexion lacks the energy and the feralness to join any shenanigans - he's also smart enough to know that he’ll be better off listening to you and staying clear out of safety hazards. Though there’s always the chance of other members taking advantage of Zexion’s naive and curious nature.

Saix :

You were expecting him to be a tiny version of his regular self, bitter and strict. Surprisingly, he’s way more fun as a kid, glued to Axel by the hip too. They’re the duo you should look out for - Axel is the one who gets them in trouble and Saix is the one who makes sure you never notice they were behind it all. 

The one with a TERRIBLE temper right after waking up. Saix won’t hesitate to bite and claw anyone who tries to wake him up, even Axel knows better than to try. If it’s nap time, let him go, don’t even try to stop him. Don’t let anyone else near him.

Other than that ? A very nice kid in general, he feels a sense of responsibility when it comes to the younger members, so he’ll be the one to keep Axel in check whenever Zexion, Roxas or Xion are around. As for the older ones ? They’re on their own.  

Axel :

Axel is the first one to say “fuck” and it spreads like wildfire. So if you start hearing a bunch of kids swear at the top of their lungs, you know who caused it. You’ll also know because you’ll find him laughing and wheezing on the ground. 

Somewhat naive, if you tell him he can’t say “invertebrae” because it’s a swear world, he’ll believe you. But SURPRISINGLY he’s very aware of how dangerous his fire powers are - like, Axel wants to cause trouble on purpose, but he doesn’t really want anything to escalate and get anyone actually hurt. Unless it’s Vexen. If it’s Vexen, then it’s fine by him. 

You might hear “Y/N, LOOK” before seeing Axel in the kitchen casting fucking Firaga on a bag of Totinos or something. He and Demyx somehow keep getting targeted by the Dusks, who love to play pranks on them. 

Demyx :

Most likely to eat food off the ground, or anything shiny and colorful, really. He has the exact same vibes as the little brother who likes to follow people he thinks are cool to try and impress them, just to be considered a cool kid too. 

Demyx is very clingy but also a sneaky kid, he can easily cry his heart out so you’ll pay attention and protect him from people he’s pissed off. This is literally why most of the kids don’t like to be around him, cause he’s THAT kid who will ruin everyone’s funs by calling the responsible adult if he gets upset.

Instead of being musically inclined, Demyx just makes a lot of noise - constant loud humming, blowing raspberries, stomping his feet or tapping/hitting things, repeating funny noises or phrases he picks up. Probably has an old ass iPod or an MP3 you can distract him with.

Luxord :

DO YOU KNOW THOSE LITTLE KIDS WHO ARE SMARTASSES ? The ones who act like they know the mysteries of the world and give you a look of superiority because you clearly don’t know what tubby custard really is ? Yeah, that’s Luxord.

Full of fun facts that he LOVES to brag about, but most of them are fake and he’s none the wiser. You cannot correct him either because it’ll be like telling an 8 year old that Santa isn’t real. Thankfully, you don’t HAVE to correct him because that’s what Xaldin is for. 

Most likely to steal Xigbar’s eyepatch for himself and somehow convince everyone else that it was HIS eyepatch in the first place. How ? We don’t know, we just don’t know. Also Luxord might just steal little trinkets from everyone and stash them under his bed like the little creacher he is. If you can’t find your keys, you know who’s got em.

Marluxia :

A natural big brother figure. Very understanding too, even if you’ve heard from Larxene that he’s tired of everyone pulling his hair and that he might shave it all off just so they all stop. Yeah, there’s some lingering resentment in there. He’s 50/50 on being a little bastard and an angel.

Marluxia volunteers to help you take care of the other kids, mostly because he likes bossing others around and because he also likes reading books to Zexion and Xion so they fall asleep. 

LOVES to leave trails of petals and flowers wherever he goes, but REFUSES to clean up. Always seen with Larxene - Marluxia is also lowkey competitive so he sees the Axel + Saix duo as rivals. In what, exactly ? Who knows. VERY picky with food too. Actually, just very picky and petty in general.

Larxene :

The one kid who develops a personal vendetta against you from day 1. Larxene DESPISES being told what to do, so if you’re constantly telling her not to do this, to do that and whatever, she will make your life a living hell and do the opposite out of spite. 

You didn’t hear this from me, but Larxene is GENUINELY upset that she keeps accidentally zapping people whenever she plays with them. It’s really hard for her to apologize too, so you’ll have to step in a lot to de-escalate the situation.

Larxene sticks forks in outlets JUST to scare others, since she cannot get hurt at all by electricity. She just seems to enjoy making others afraid.

Roxas :

One of the youngest, Roxas doesn’t KNOW what “using your indoor voice” means, he’s either DEAD quiet or SCREAMING about how he’d like to have ice cream as a treat, please and thank you. It’s really fucking funny to see honestly. Just make sure he doesn’t sneak up on you and scare you shitless.

The type who gets dragged into shenanigans rather than cause them - he’s a very neutral and calm kid otherwise. The worst thing he can do is just steal everyone’s dessert or something because of that intense sweet tooth he’s got.

A lot of the older kids LOVE trying to get him and Xion to laugh, because Roxas has this permanent poker face AND because they both have really funny snort giggle laughs. 

Xion : 

Also one of the youngest, very sweet, patient and polite ! Xion also tends to be very clingy, always needing to hold hands with someone whenever she walks around Castle Oblivion. No one has the heart to tell her no, either.

Can get VERY VERY irritating and angry when someone tries to make fun of her or Roxas. Like a little hurricane of puppies - Xion won’t stop pestering all the meanies until she’s received a proper apology. If she somehow ends up hurting someone, she’ll insist on making up too.

Xion also tends to copy people she likes, similar to Demyx. You might catch her imitating your movements or way of speaking, or even copying the Dusks’ movements - but just make sure she doesn’t see you, Xion will explode out of embarrassment.
