So, I never intended to have a Sonadow fanchild... Y'all know me and my OTPs are SonChuck and Sonuckles

But I got to thinking, what would I want in a Sonadow kid if I wanted one?

Well, cue me working out design concepts using my boy Carmine to make something...

First thought was simple: I needed to step away from 'black and blue' or things that amount to fusions. So I thought... what about Sonic's parents? In both Archie and Underground, we see something important. Bangs. Bernadette, Jules, and to a degree, Aleena... no matter the universe, there's extra hair.

Plus, with the rise of Nicky (College Nerd Sonic AU) on Twitter and Bluesky, that just brought the need further! Originally, he was going to be a black-furred version of Nicky, but those quill designs needed to pop.

After that, everything else fell into place... so meet my very own Sonadow kid, Koráki!

This fancy boy is your typical 'Gohan' type character. Extremely strong, but prefers knowledge and peace. His left arm is permanently changed due to a mix of Sonic's unstable molecular structure and Shadow's Black Arms genetics, but it is controlled thanks to an inhibitor made from two of Shadow's rings.

Despite the 'monster arm,' he's the heartthrob of the university he teaches at, and his fanclub fights relentlessly to find him a boyfriend.
