“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single villain in possession of some mad skills, and screwed up morals must be in want of a formidable adversary in the form of an equally badass heroine.”
- Jane Austen, probably
… and if there isn’t one already, I’m very much inclined to make one - even just for the sake of it.
Because, if there is something I love just as much as villain x heroine ships, it is creating new characters.
And you really can’t expect me to pass this opportunity, can you!? ;)
Personally, I think it can’t really hurt to have another brilliant scientist there (aside from Tails), a human one, who works alongside the Good Guys™ - and also one with a soundly working moral compass on top of scientific competence and brainpower - which the Dr. so sorely lacks.
I suppose this could really help to get him off his high horse, as he obviously deludes himself with the assumption that he’s the only smart person in the room, or at all, not to mention the compulsive need to rub this in anyones’ face. We get it, darling, your’re a genius, but you certainly aren’t the only one. Eat some humble pie and come back down to earth, ok!? Not even Snape was this petty…
Regarding such antics, if anything, it comes across as significantly bitter, if not a bit desperate. No one with a healthy sense of self-worth acts like this - they wouldn’t even want to. Hence, I’m quite certain it’s more a massive inferiority complex covered up with megalomania in his case, from what I remember & read about him, and his family background (which is quite tragic, actually). Btw, what happened to his parents!? We only hear about his grandfather and cousin, but never about them, as well as his own past, which is just hinted at, if anything - the growing up as an orphan & being bullied stuff, you know … which surely can’t have been *just* about him being a socially awkward nerd, but maybe also about his grandfather’s history - just a guess on my side (I elaborated on the subject quite a bit in this post).
And what is it with me, that I always find myself fascinated with emotionally repressed, potentially traumatized and fucked up villains!? It’s always the same. ^^;;
But I digress …
What I wanted to say is, I think this would make for some interesting dynamic & chemistry. =D
Anyway, allow me to introduce my character at this point …
Adelia Sigrún Sharpe
Professor of Astrophysics & Engineering
of British and German origin, but lives in America
comes from a family of academics on both sides of her ancestry
the German part of her bloodline has a darker past, as one of her relatives took part in the amoral experiments conducted by scientists during the Nazi regime - therefore, she has developed a rather firm ethical code which she lives by, as she abhors the abuse of science for base motives
is also very fascinated by Sonic’s powers, and wants to study, and make use of it, but in a more altruistic manner
aside from designing & building innovative tech stuff, as well as aviation, she practices swordsmanship in her free-time - and is quite good at it, at that
is more warm-hearted and caring than she appears on first glance (and has a rather feisty side, too), but that is something, which is rarely seen (except by a few trusted friends and collegues) due to her fairly diciplined personality, that usually makes her appear rather factual and reserved
as a child she went through a period of being sidelined and bullied by her peers, after rumours spread about the deeds of the above-mentioned family member (which would depict a parallel to the Dr., who dealt with this matter in a completely different way, not least due to a different set of circumstances). This experience also contributed significantly to her self-controlled, serious, and thoughtful nature. Ultimately, it made her more understanding.
has a totally dry, deadpan style of humour - but in a good-natured way, as she’s usually not prone to being snarky
she’s an acquaintance of Maddie Wachowski (whom she met at uni)
The characters that served as a major source of inspiration for her are:
Jane Foster - intellectual prowess & sense for justice (plus I, admittely, would kind of like it, if Adelia, not unlike Jane did with Loki, gave the dear Dr. a resounding slap, along with a “This is for San Francisco!”, for all the mess that he caused there ^^;;)
Anakin Skywalker - knack for tech & piloting
Pepper Potts - professionalism & elegant style
Black Widow - looks (see below), martial arts & reserved exterior
Other sources of inspiration would be the "Vril girls" - Maria Orsic regarding her looks, and Sigrún regarding her name.
Faceclaim would be Scarlett Johansson:
P.S.:
I know there is already a fanon-popular ship, but, tbh, it’s not really my cuppa.
That said, I want to point out that I have nothing against people shipping the Dr. with Agent Stone (you do you, guys), but since I, personally, prefer m/f ships, I’d rather choose the female OC approach, as it’s also my beloved villain x heroine constellation.
As for Agent Stone, I still think he’s a really important person for him, of course, but more in a professional & platonic manner (like, he’s the Piett to Robotnik’s Vader), given Stone’s the only one he treated with at least a semblance of respect, and whom he actually missed (!) afterwards - contrary to what he said before … I guess he has very limited self-awareness in this matter, huh!?
Anyway, that was all for now. I hope you still liked what you found here. =)
Here’s the DA post, btw.
