Description

(Hey there! I see you're looking at my old art. I've improved since I drew this, so head on over to my gallery to check out my newer art!)

Recently, I've been reading a manga series called Amazing Agent Luna, and for some reason it inspired me to draw this. The character designs are maybe a little bit in the future (I gave Cream leggings for obvious reasons, and Sally is wearing my redesign).

For those of you who have been keeping up with the new continuity, you may notice a sort of Mother/ Child relationship between Cream and Sally. I love both these characters a lot, but this relationship... frustrates me.

Don't get me wrong, it's sweet and all, but Sally is just way too overprotective. Cream has shown herself as being perfectly capable of fighting in the past, but Sally, out of worry for her safety, is always insisting that she stay out of the action. Really, Sal? Really?

To be fair though, this is a very dangerous world they live in, and Cream is only six years old. It makes sense that Sally wouldn't want a child that young to go through what she had to at that age. All the same though, I still am really annoyed by the mother hen charade she's pulling. Cream's already got one mother, and frankly, that's all she needs.

So here's my headcanon: At around age seven or eight, Cream is beginning to get tired of being sidelined and restricted to only serving food to the Freedom Fighters rather than actually helping them in combat. Sally, however is still very paranoid about letting her on the battlefield, worried that she'll get hurt or worse. The rest of the Freedom Fighters agree that she's not ready to be a full Freedom Fighter just yet, but think that with some training, she could be. Begrudgingly, Sally agrees to mentor Cream in martial arts and combat strategy. Cream is an eager student and a fast learner, and over the course of their lessons, Sally is beginning to think of Cream less as a daughter and more as her student, and is gradually becoming less protective of her; Cream, in turn, has learned how to take care of herself and is a brutal fighter. By the time she is ten, Cream has helped fight and win several battles against Eggman and more than proven her worth. She is initiated into the team as a full member, and maintains a close Mentor/ Student relationship.

So what do you guys think? You like it?
