Tikal and Knuckles' Family

From the left to right: Ruby, Knuckles, Tikal, Em (Emerald). Yes, they named their children after gems... I only just realized that!

Ruby is a rebelious girl who definetly has a mind of her own. She begged her parents to let her get a job at the burger shop at Station Square, and they finally consented. She doesn't want to spend her whole life, even part of it, guarding the green gem she resents. She is 16 years old and as pretty as they come.

42-year-old Knuckles really does look like a dad in this picture! His partly-closed eyes are supposed to make him look older, but he actually looks like he's eyeing Tikal.. <__< Well, they are married at this point of course.

40-year-old Tikal is really beautiful in an older, more mature way, with the addition of eye-shadow and lipstick, a longer skirt and shirt (she's a bit too old to have her stomach showing now), and more hairbands.

Em is an 18-year-old young echidna man, and has inherited, unlike his sister Ruby, his parent's serious dispositions. He cooperates with his parents and is sure about spending his life guarding the Master Emerald. The only thing he isn't sure about is marrying Ruby... which is what will have to happen for the echidna race to be continued.

Perhaps I could write a fanfiction starring Ruby sometime.
