Profile

Emily is the sole daughter of FA-18 Superhornets, Stacey and Henry. The pair were avid fliers for the same squadron in the Royal Air Force.

Stacey's callsign was just a shortened version of her name - Stace. That was pretty much her nickname on day 1, thus becoming her callsign. But she was also known for her straightforwardness and getting the job done. Henry was gifted the callsign of Viper - representing the serpent-like lethality and precision he showed during missions.

Both Stacey and Henry started completely uninterested in each other, just colleagues working alongside each other during deployments. But, as time went on, they began to notice each other. Both Stacey and Henry were both good looking jets; Henry, brown-eyed and particularly handsome with highly sought-after flying and combat skills, and Stacey, who was pretty with the most beautiful shade of blue eyes.

The pair shared the same competitive drive; starting off with some teasing during training sorties, which gradually turned into them clashing in some friendly rivalry and banter, until it slowly burned into something more… Some years later, the two of them married, and Stacey became pregnant with their daughter. Her sister, Sadie, younger by just a couple of years, was also expecting a daughter of her own at the same time.

Emily was born in June, one month after the birth of her cousin, Daisy. Emily is an E variant, just like her mother, and inherited a lot of her looks, including her blue eyes. She also inherited her father's determination, ambition and hot-headedness.

The cousins were inseparable since birth, and they grew up with each other right up into adulthood. Their mother's often joked that both Emily and Daisy were meant to be sisters, not cousins. They both looked alike, gaining their appearances from their maternal side.

As the girls grew older, they started to discover their personalities. Emily was a stark contrast to her cousin. She's determined, ambitious and confident. Her cousin grew to be a shy and reserved girl. Despite their differences, they're both incredibly close and have always shared an unbreakable sisterly bond with each other.

Life started to become turbulent as Emily hit her teens. Being born to striving Air Force parents and being their only offspring, Emily was expected to follow in their tracks. But their daughter grew resistant. She didn't want to have her life planned out in front of her. She desired to go against their legacy and create a new one for herself. Her personality was also developing: She became bolder, more ambitious and fiery. She also grew more rebellious and hot-headed. She often clashed with her parents; they wanted her to join the Air Force. She rebelled against them, and she would often vent to her cousin every time they met up. Daisy was her rock during this tumultuous phase in her life. She supported Emily and even got her parents to help and provide some advice to her parents, which eventually made them realise that their daughter was a whole other individual with her own dreams and desires. Her parents eventually accepted their daughter's decision to join the Navy, making them the first females in the family in a few generations to join the maritime route. They were still loving and proud of their daughter, no matter what path she took in life.

Together with her cousin, they both joined the Royal Navy at the same time. Vowing to each other that they'd never split apart, the two were lucky enough to qualify to join the Jolly Wrenches squadron - one of the most feared Navy squadrons in the world. They were able to bunk together in one room and also trained alongside each other. Emily settled in right away - her ambitious personality and determination were excellent qualities that aligned with the squadron's traits. Her fire and boldness are what led to her being given the callsign of "Sierra". An equally spicy nickname for an equally spicy young Superhornet.

As Emily's naval career developed, she settled and began to forge friendships within the squadron. One particular jet she made the acquaintance of was a male Superhornet named Steve. He had the callsign of Bravo and was one of the renowned twins in the Wrenches. Emily began to form a little crush on him, and it wasn't just his handsome looks she was attracted to. His eyes were the iciest shade of blue, and he often presented himself in a calm, cool and aloof attitude.

During training missions and sorties, Emily would start trying to compete with him. At first, Steve would brush her off, but then reciprocated as soon as he realised the sassy FA18 could keep up with him.

Realising her little crush was growing and was certainly not going away, Emily continued with her little mind games on her suitor, trying to impress him whilst masking it as friendly rivalry. Steve, of course, mirrored her, and the two of them were constantly engaging in friendly competition and banter, which gradually turned into the occasional flirting without them even realising it.

Daisy and even her closest friends could already decipher the true nature behind Emily's and Steve's competitiveness and encouraged her to confess her true feelings. Emily would often brush it off and deny it at first, knowing full well how she really felt. Unbeknownst to her, Steve's twin brother was also trying to convince him to do the same, and he also had the same reaction.

Their masked rivalry came to a head one evening when the squadron visited a naval air base for a party. Emily was parked up at a table with her cousin and some of their closest friends in the squadron. She had witnessed Steve's twin, Daniel, capture the heart of her cousin before he also joined their table.

Initially, the pair were up to their usual tactics of sarky remarks and flirtatious banter; Emily, mostly teasing just to get a rise out of him. Steve mirrored her. This continued until they both realised that they were blatantly flirting with each other. They knew there was no coming back from it.

Later, Steve left to go to the bar. Another male Superhornet seized the opportunity to talk to her with the intention of winning her over. Emily wasn't interested nor impressed by it. The only male she had her eye on was, of course, Steve. He soon returned to their table and warned the other male off with a growl. This both surprised and attracted her to him even more. In that moment, she realised that maybe Steve did, in fact, like her back…

After the party, the two exchanged numbers, thus marking the start of their official dating. Nothing changed much between the pair. The friendly rivalry and teasing continued throughout their dating until one night Steve confronted her about her "desire to be hot yet insanely annoying" in his words, before it ended up in the pair spending an intimate, passionate night together. Although their relationship burned slowly, it was still deeply intense. They'd often spend the day in each other's company and often found themselves sneaking into each other's rooms during the night…

Their relationship continued to thrive. They continued to take each other out on dates, standing together on the flight deck, parking up together in the canteen, hanging out in each other's rooms, and more. Emily often liked to watch Steve play sports with his brother and the other males. She'd usually just stare at Steve for the entire time, practically drooling over him.

The teasing and competing subsided once Daisy and Steve switched rooms so that both couples could move in together. The pair grew to be comfortable and settled with each other. Emily even got to meet Steve's and Daniel's parents, Stella and Logan. They were seasoned members of the Wrenches and, despite their amazing service records, they were two very sweet and supportive jets. Emily was smitten with them. Stella and Logan were so happy to finally meet her properly after they gave her and their son some space for their relationship to thrive, and once they got to know her, they already treated her and Daisy as if they were their own daughters.

Emily also began to form a lifelong bond with Daniel. Being Steve's twin, he was always around and would often meet up with Daisy in tow, making them a close-knit group of 4. Emily often found parts of herself in Daniel. Despite being an identical twin, he often behaved very differently from his brother. It often reminds Emily of the contrasts between herself and her cousin, despite how close they are. Both she and Daniel always got along. She started shifting her teasing and rivalry onto him, and before long, the pair would bicker and argue like true siblings. They would affectionately bully each other but still have each other's backs like family. For Daniel, he got a future sister-in-law. And for Emily, she got herself an older future brother, which was what she always wanted.

After a deployment ended, Emily brought Steve home to meet her parents. She felt nervous, her partner even more so, since both parents were members of the air force and her dad was often seen as strict and overprotective, but both parents were happy and approving of their daughter's relationship.

Emily and Steve, along with her cousin and his twin, often work perfectly as a little unit of 4, both on and off the ship. They spend a lot of their free time together, including being on deck, training, meeting up to eat, etc., and they pretty much spend all of their deployments like this.

Here's my fourth character reference sheet. This is Emily, another Jolly Wrench OC, who is actually the cousin of Daisy from the third ref sheet. Despite being only cousins, they always have a sisterly bond with each other. They've known each other for as long as they've been alive :)

My third character reference sheet is one of my Jolly Wrench F/A-18E OC's - Daisy. She's a shy girl, and a little ball of sunshine - nothing like your typical Jolly Wrench at all! She is also the character that I've shipped with Echo (who's known in this biography as Daniel - I gave him a real name)

Profile

Daisy is the single daughter of FA-18 parents, Sadie and David. Her mother, Sadie, works for the Royal Air Force. Her callsign is Sunshine - renowned for constantly being cheery and happy, and always having a positive attitude. Her father, David, works in the Royal Navy. He has the callsign of Vapour - Known for always pushing himself to the limit, both in active service and training. Both from different military branches, the two met at a naval air base when their two squadrons came together for NATO-based training for a few weeks, and it was love at first sight.

Daisy was born in the early summer, and shortly after her birth, Sadie was gifted a soft cotton blanket with a daisy flower pattern on it, prompting Sadie to name her daughter after the flower. The blanket was gifted by her older sister, Stacey, who was heavily pregnant herself at the time. She gave birth a month later, which gave Daisy a cousin.

The cousins practically bonded from birth and spent their whole lives together. Their mother's often joked that both Emily and Daisy were meant to be sisters, not cousins. They both looked alike, gaining their appearances from their maternal side.

The girls grew up alongside each other. They'd spend every waking hour together from the moment they could open their eyes, to when they joined Primary school together. As the girls grew older, they started to discover their personalities. Daisy was calmer and more reserved, whilst her cousin had the personality of a firework. Despite their differences, they were incredibly close and shared an unbreakable sisterly bond with each other.

As Daisy grew into her teenage years, she realised that a lot of her appearance came from her mother and grandmother, but her personality traits came from her father. She found that she had a deeper connection to her father since they shared the same level-headedness, calmness and reserved nature. She was glad to have a close connection with her parents, but was saddened to learn that her cousin wasn't bonding quite so well with her own parents. Daisy supported her throughout their teens and became her rock during this uncertain time in their lives.

Daisy and her cousin Emily were the first females in their family to join the Navy. Her parents were fully supportive of her career choice, even her mother, who was a tiny bit disappointed that her daughter didn't want to follow in her tracks.

Together with her cousin, they both joined the Royal Navy at the same time. Vowing to each other that they'd never split apart, the two were lucky enough to qualify to join the Jolly Wrenches squadron - one of the most feared Navy squadrons in the world.

Daisy was able to bunk up with Emily and share a room with her, and they trained together.

Her cousin fit right in, with her boldness, fire and ambition. Daisy found things more challenging. She often missed home whilst in the Wrenches' recruitment phase, and she had a difficult time settling in once she moved into carrier ops.

Being the timid, innocent and shy girl that she was, she was a stark contrast to the dangerous, lethal and ambitious aura that the squadron was renowned for. In her free time, she'd stay in their dorm room below deck. She was more introverted than her cousin and preferred the quiet timeouts amongst the chaos of Navy life.

She was almost given the callsign of "flower" due to being teased about her delicate and innocent nature, but luckily, she was instead given the callsign "Delta", and she started to become more accustomed to Navy life.

As Daisy’s naval career developed, so did she. Although combat training and the idea of potentially having to kill enemy planes frightened her, the flight training lessened her timidness and grew her confidence in herself. She began to grow braver and a little bolder and started to really enjoy being on the ship. She also noticed that her cousin had the hots for one of the squadron's identical twins, Steve - he had the callsign of Bravo. Although Emily kept brushing it off and changing the subject, Daisy knew what her true intentions were beneath all the sassiness and competition with the male Hornet. Daisy still preferred staying below deck in her free time, which prevented her from bumping into the other twin.

Some time later, the squadron hosted a party at a naval air base. Daisy was parked at a table with Emily and a couple of other female colleagues. As she surveyed the bustling room around her, she happened to clap eyes on Daniel, the other twin, and it was immediately love at first sight.

Daniel was a ball of energy and could light up any room he was in; a stark contrast to his brother's calm, laid-back nature. He boldly approached their table and immediately began to woo Daisy with his charm. She had no interest in males before this, but there was something about this FA18 that she just couldn't resist.

Joining a quiet table, just the two of them, she began to learn more about him. His callsign was Echo, and he was a stark contrast to her. He was bold, confident, charming, funny, and witty. He had the most beautiful, deep blue eyes and the most infectious smile. She was quiet, shy, and calm, but deep down, they both had similar personalities. They were both sweet, kind and sensitive. Their connection was strong, and their chemistry was well matched.

As the pair began to date, they both started to discover and learn more about themselves. Daniel was energetic, always happy and charismatic, but being with Daisy calmed him down and made him settle, without extinguishing that excitable energy of his. Daisy felt her confidence growing further whenever she was with him. She found that Daniel was always trying to make her laugh, blush profusely at least once a day. He could somehow draw this shy Hornet out of her shell and helped her become more confident and bold. Their relationship and chemistry grew swiftly and intensely. The pair started to display forms of affection, and before long, they became intimate with each other. They met up during the day to train or eat together and be in each other's company, and sometimes snuck into each other's rooms in the middle of the night.

As their relationship developed, Daisy switched places with Steve so that both couples could share rooms. Daniel complimented her introvertedness well. He was more than happy to spend their free time cuddling up with her in bed to rest or watch a film together. But having Daniel as her partner made Daisy even more excited to go up on deck for duty. She and Emily also got to meet the twins' parents, Stella and Logan.

They were seasoned members of the Wrenches and were two very sweet and supportive jets. They were so happy to finally meet Daisy properly after they gave her and their son some space for their relationship to grow and thrive, and once they got to know her, they already treated her and Emily as if they were their own daughters.

Daisy also began to form a lifelong bond with Steve - Daniel's twin. Since he was dating her cousin, and Daisy was dating his sibling, it brought them closer as a group of 4.

Daisy often found similar aspects of herself in him. They were both laid back and reserved compared to their significant others. Soon, Steve started to behave like an older brother around her; always protectively looking out for her and treating her like a younger sister.

Daisy and Daniel, along with her cousin and his twin, often work perfectly as a little unit of 4, both on and off the ship. They spend a lot of their free time together, including being on deck, training, meeting up to eat, etc., and they pretty much spend all of their deployments like this.

After a deployment ended, Daisy brought Daniel home to meet her parents. They were overjoyed to finally meet him after everything she told them whilst on deployment. They were incredibly welcoming and supportive of their relationship, and were just as happy to meet Daniel’s twin, Steve, who was also dating their niece, Emily.

This is the first of many character ref sheets and biographies that I've been working on since late 2024, and I've only just completed my last one. So this has been a very long time in the making.

This is for Toni, my very first OC that I made in 2015 when I was only just in the Cars/Planes fandom - making her 10 years old this summer. I made her for the sole purpose of shipping with Blade 🤣

Profile

Born in the early summer of 2001, Toni is the singular offspring of AW109 parents, following a lineage of purebred AW109s dating back a couple of hundred years.

She inherited her beauty and looks from her mother, Lillian, a white S Grand model with a dark blue and silver stripe along her flanks. Her main occupation involved admin work in an office block. Toni also inherited the striking lime green eyes and unbridled determination from her father, Simon, a black and white E Power model, who flew for a passenger transportation company.

Being an only daughter and a daddy's girl growing up, Toni was the apple of her father's eye. Although she was spoiled rotten, her parents brought her up with discipline and appropriate morals in equal measure, whilst still treating her as the prized gem she was.

Toni grew up in northern England, in a quiet, peaceful, quintessential English town. A small town with next to no crime, with a population of around 1000-2000, and where everyone knows everyone.

As a little girl, Toni would spend most of her time outside in the garden of her childhood home, despite being treated as the little princess she was. Becoming a real-life princess and never working a day in her life was the dream job of this little girl. She was a daddy's girl, often curiously spending time with him around the house as his "little assistant", as he'd affectionately call her. As much as she equally loved her mother, Toni idolised her father - getting him to help her with things like fixing a toy or helping her with homework, wanting to help him in the garden, or eagerly awaiting to hear all the tales of where he'd flown that day whilst transporting small passengers.

Toni had always been a popular girl, even in school. As she continued to age and grow, she developed beautiful looks, a nice figure, and a kind soul. As a child and teenager, Toni was always found in a girl group and was always invited to sleepovers and parties. Everyone wanted to be her friend, and she had very few jealous enemies, which her closest friends normally dealt with.

At 16, Toni left high school with adequate grades that could get her into most jobs of her choosing; however, Toni had no idea how to start her career path. She had no desire or dream job, thus sending Toni into a chaotic spiral of 'job hopping'.

Applying for jobs is hard enough; getting accepted is just wishful thinking. Toni's very first job was at a little cafe for small planes and helicopters, which was the equivalent of Carbucks, in her local town. She held the position of a barista/waitress for 2 years before she became bored and craved for something else to excite her life. After that came two more admin jobs that required her to work in an office, like her mother. She learned relatively quickly and seemed suited to both jobs, but never actually fully content and settled in them.

After some time, she was starting to dislike the typical, draining 9 - 5 jobs. She started to develop a "can't be bothered anymore" attitude whilst trying not to allow that attitude to affect her quality of work. She finally left both admin jobs, one after the other, after spending just shy of a year in each. Toni tended to stay social and meet up with friends when she felt like it, but her mess of a career path meant that she still hadn't gotten a boyfriend yet when others around her at this point had.

At 20 years old, Toni joined another job that paid less but gave her more freedom. It was a remote job where she could work from home on a computer, doing simple tasks such as allocating customers into booking slots, allocating customer enquiries over to the correct areas, etc. She liked this job the best and spent around 3 years there. From here, Toni changed jobs once more and has since stayed in that job for the foreseeable future…

After leaving high school, Toni formed a close friendship with 3 other female classmates: Millie, Claire and Katie. Their friendship continued after school, where the girls would celebrate each other's 18th birthdays, their first alcoholic drinks, exploring different local towns together, meeting up for shopping trips, nights out drinking and dancing, etc.

One year in July, right in the midst of a summer heatwave, when the girls were in their early 20s, they booked a holiday trip to stay at the newly renovated Grand Fuselage hotel in the world-renowned Piston Peak National Park in northwest England, UK. It was the girls' first official holiday together as they were of an age where they could look after themselves without their parents worrying over them too much.

The girls booked two hotel rooms, two aircraft in each room, to save money. Much to their parents' dismay, the prices of the rooms were extortionate. Two days into their stay, the four girls decided to venture out into the wilderness. Heading over to the eastern side of V6 Valley, the group landed in an opening in the woods and began to follow a trail that led along a sloped ridge, revealing views of Anchor Lake in the far distance. Unbeknownst to them, a spot fire was growing bigger and out of control below them. It eventually reached the clearing they started from miles back, gradually cutting them off. It was only a while later that the girls realised what was happening and noticed the telltale whisps of smoke starting to filter through the trees. Realising the danger they were now in, and that the clearing back down the path had been cut off, the group began to make haste down the path, spotting a clearing up ahead. By this point, Toni was at the back of the group so that she could keep track of everyone and ensure that no one fell behind. Just before reaching the clearing, a dead pine tree fell, narrowly missing Toni, who luckily spotted it and halted. She was now cut off from the group, now in even more danger. The other three decided to continue to the clearing and took off to get a radio signal and call the PPAA team for help.

Minutes later, the fire had spread further up the ridge towards Toni's location. She was too small to push against the large tree in desperation. Luckily, the PPAA arrived a few minutes after the friends made the call. It was in this moment that Toni and Blade Ranger, a fire and rescue helicopter, laid eyes on each other for the first time, thus paving the way for their love story that we know of today.

It was Blade who was the first one on the scene and the one who made the first drop. His line of retardant was the most crucial, soaking the trees alongside Toni to protect her from the nearby fire. Windlifter's and Dipper's drops quickly extinguished the fire, whilst the Smokejumpers air dropped down into Toni's location, cutting the tree into manageable chunks to clear a path for the grateful AW109. Blade got her to follow him and the rest of the team back to their base, where the rest of her friends were waiting.

Upon landing at the base, the AW109 finally had the chance to take a good look at her firefighter hero, and it was in this moment that she fell in love. Hard. After all, who doesn't love a handsome man in uniform?

This moment was the start of an obsessive crush for Toni. After leaving her last admin job some time ago, she went back to the Air Attack team and enquired about a potential job there, offering her assistance as a token of appreciation. Blade, being the cold-hearted, grumpy boss that he was, declined at first, but after some convincing from his mechanic, Maru, he offered her a half-formal interview. Afterwards, it was Maru who coaxed Blade into hiring her as the team's secretary, after spotting how much Toni seemed to like the chief.

From this moment on, Toni was trying to subtly catch Blade's attention whilst Maru was trying to play cupid between the two Agustawestlands. Even the other members of the team agreed that this little ray of sunshine was the perfect match for their stormy boss. After all, they were both Agustawestlands, both single, young, and of similar ages. Toni soon got to meet the obnoxious Park Superintendent, Cad Spinner, and quickly learned why the rest of the team hated him so much. She could tell from everyone's low wages, lack of Internet, and poor working conditions, that there was something bigger going on - and it didn't take long for the rest of the team to quickly fill her in that they were all controlled by the Superintendent. Their wages, pensions, working conditions, firefighting budget, and even the water allowance were controlled by him. The guy even had the nerve to drive up to their base once or twice a month to gloat about it. Toni noticed how much Cad would give Blade a hard time, observing how closed-up and defensive the AW139 became every time the SI was within close distance. A couple of times, even Toni decided to give this guy a piece of her mind, but she was smart enough not to get herself fired. Her favourite thing was to try to subtly manipulate the Superintendent. One time, she told him in a "not so subtle" way that if he didn't increase their wages or firefighting budget soon, the team wouldn't be able to afford to make retardant and couldn't possibly protect his precious lodge, and he could end up losing it in a fire. As much as the arrogant SI despised losing against a woman, it did the trick. And as much as the Chief was angry at Toni for talking out of turn without his say-so, he was pretty damn impressed.

Unfortunately, as time went on, Toni's efforts to catch Blade's attention were going unnoticed. She tried to keep things subtle at first. Things like attempting to make awkward eye contact, preferring to stand next to him whenever the whole team met up on the apron, even trying to say hello and strike up a conversation. Blade was not the least bit interested in interacting with her. Maru had to pull her aside one day and explain why their boss behaved the way he did.

Before becoming chief of PPAA and continuing into his early days as chief, Blade had faced many traumas. From family problems, a toxic boss, to facing betrayal by two best friends on separate occasions. These experiences crippled Blade’s mental health, thus sending him down a dark path of self-sabotage, depression, isolation and loneliness. Feeling saddened and outraged for the undue damage that Blade had to endure, Toni took on Maru's assistance to help gain Blade’s trust and hopefully win him over at the same time.

It wasn't easy for Toni as it was for Blade. Every day was just another day of rejection, but having the stubbornness and determination that could easily rival a huge commercial airliner, she wasn't the kind of helicopter to give up easily. She spent days, weeks, and months proving herself as a member of the team that Blade could trust. Just being there, quietly, subtly, still maintaining professionalism. Just being the stable rock whenever Blade needed it. In time, Blade began to notice Toni as another member of the team he could count on. At least this time, she was getting noticed. Now that Toni could get his trust on a professional level, she then tried to gain his trust more personally…

Slowly but surely, with Maru's help, she began to gradually gain Blade’s trust. Blade began to talk to her more and more, until he came to a point where his mind was in a war, and he pulled back again. Half of him wanted to trust her, but the other half of him was still haunted by his betrayal trauma.

Fast forward some time, and the rest of the team knew by now that Toni had strong feelings for Blade, and they silently rooted for her. Even sometimes putting in a good word for Blade for her.

Finally, after much consideration and a lot of convincing from Maru, Blade decided that he couldn't ignore his feelings for her anymore. He had seen the way she laughed, the way her pure smile would make her face light up, the way she could brighten up the room the moment she rolled in, the way she could calmly and quietly handle things behind the scenes or help motivate the crew to stay together despite their chief's emotional absence. Blade gradually began to develop feelings for her, no matter how many times he tried to deny or run from them.

After much consideration from Blade's side, the two of them began to date, taking things slow at first for Blade's sake. After all, she spent so much time getting Blade to trust her, she couldn't afford to blow things now. At least now, Blade was willing to look at her and even speak to her. That alone was a bonus. After some time, Blade finally trusted Toni enough to reveal his background and traumas, what happened to him and why he was the way he was. That was the biggest breakthrough that Toni was hoping for. Finally, knowing the full story of why the AW139 was so cold and closed off.

Day by day, week by week, month by month, Toni continued to support him during their early days of dating. Promising him that she could provide the bare minimum with ease. Things like honesty, care, attention, affection, understanding and patience. Things that the chief had no idea how to handle or react to, but thoroughly deserved. Little by little, the cold-hearted AW139 began to lower his walls and drop his guard for her, which in turn brought them even closer. Slowly but surely, she helped him with all his troubles: teaching him not to hide when facing bad days, better coping strategies if he relapsed, helping him put on a healthy weight, better sleep, curbing his drinking, managing his aggression more healthily, preventing him from isolating or staving himself when the bad days did come around, teaching him when to pull away from work to rest and recuperate, gradually pulling him out of survival mode, and all the other gruelling bits in between.

As time went on, Toni was the one who taught Blade how not to just survive life, but how to actually live it too. And in turn, she slowly taught him how to love, too.

Fast forward, and Blade completely changed as a person. Their relationship was more and more serious. It was blooming, from a quivering flame into an all-out bonfire. By now, Toni had moved into Blade’s cabin hangar on the base. The pair had begun to show more forms of affection. Not just hugs and cuddles and the odd contact, but Blade at least allowed kisses now, too. Their forms of affection continued to grow, at whatever pace Blade was most comfortable with, until the two Agustas could no longer hold back and finally started sleeping with each other, opening up a whole new door of their relationship as we know it now.

As their relationship continued growing, so did their sex life. Nowadays, they're an incredibly passionate couple, completely and utterly addicted to each other like a drug. We can't blame them. Toni's paintwork can outdo the beauty of a pearl, and she has the figure of a goddess. And as for Blade? Who could not resist a hot firefighter with a handsome face and a good, strong body to go with it? And for Toni, there's something about seeing her boyfriend returning home from a day's hard work around a gruelling wildfire; all hot and bothered, covered in black soot and dripping in sweat that really turns her feral. They're both intimate often, to the point where even the crew knew what the Agusta couple was up to, and Maru would often drop an innuendo or two around them, much to Blade's dismay.

Fast forward some time later, a set of new challenges lay ahead for the Agusta couple. By now, Blade had grown so confident and comfortable with her that he proposed to get engaged to her. Toni was absolutely over the moon with this surprise, but there was an issue already. As much as Blade wanted to buy her a suitable engagement ring, the Superintendent of the National Park, Cad Spinner, was making life more difficult by the month with money troubles. Blade couldn't afford to get her a ring, but promised her that he would try to save up enough money to get her a wedding ring instead, however long it takes.

One day, during the annual fire season, Blade offered to train a SEAT plane as a favour for an old acquaintance from the US. Soon enough, the team met an orange crop duster, the world racing champion, Dusty Crophopper. Toni knew who he was from the countless news channels broadcasting his success, but neither she nor Blade expected him to be the SEAT that was coming all the way from the US. Their greeting wasn't one of the nicest that Toni had ever experienced. Whilst joining Blade for a leisurely patrol, which led to her spectating the team's air attack abilities, the world-famous crop duster flew in between the Agusta couple, inches from taking Toni out by the tail. She then had to calm her enraged partner, obviously worried for her safety after a close call.

Throughout the month, Toni felt like she was a spectator, taking a back seat as she watched her partner invest more of his time elsewhere. He had to train the crop duster for an acquaintance, which also meant having some extra help during a very hot summer. As much as she normally loves watching her fiancè handle business, she did hate the extra workload her partner was putting on himself. Toni helped where she could, doing her usual tasks of filling out and completing fire and rescue emergency reports, which only Blade can sign off and send out. Dusty wasn't making the situation easy. As well as the money problems, Blade also had to deal with the crop duster's low performance and poor excuses, which were beginning to turn into a daily occurrence.

It all came to a head one day when a heatwave caused two wildfires to emerge in different locations of V6 Valley. Prompting the team to split up. Toni went with Dusty and Blade, acting as an extra pair of eyes and a voice of reason for her fiancè.

Toni has no cabin, no movable door, and isn't able to carry a hoist or any firefighting equipment. She still doesn't consider herself useless and still tries to find solutions to a problem, one of the many reasons Blade fell in love with her. Still, on this particular day, she felt nothing but helplessness. She could do nothing but watch her partner quietly, stressing about how to fight both fires effectively at the same time, watching him form mental plans of action in his head, which she normally loves about him. She then proceeded to watch that plan of attack instantly fall apart when the SEAT made an incorrect drop, which led to him being swept away down a river. She watched as Blade had gotten his hoist caught in a tree and couldn't escape, no matter how much he pulled. She witnessed the panic written across his face when he'd normally be calm, collected and unnerved. She then witnessed her partner, after weeks of stress, reach the end of his tether and finally snap, arguing angrily with Dusty as the wildfire drew near, before taking shelter in an abandoned mineshaft entrance. She stood there helplessly as Blade rolled in front to protect her from the approaching flames, shielding her body with his, taking on the brunt of the intense heat and willingly getting himself injured. And throughout all that, all Toni could do was cry as she witnessed it all unfolding right in front of her very eyes.

Normally, Blade's collected and calm demeanour also kept her calm, and gave her the strength and courage to find solutions in moments of difficulty. However, this time…She was useless. This was the first time she was completely powerless and helpless as everything started crumbling around her. She was beside herself: like she was having an out-of-body experience and couldn't move.

After the fire had passed, despite being powerless to help, she knew she could trust Blade to look after her. He body-slammed the debris at the entrance, helping the three of them escape the mine. She and Dusty took off with only minimal damage to their engines; however, she started to observe Blade taking off last. He only got to a few hundred feet before she heard his engines grumbling and whining and was sent into a spin. There was nothing Toni could do to save him. All she could do was witness the love of her life spinning through the air, screaming his name in fear, catching a glimpse of pure fear in his eyes, before crashing into the blackened earth.

By the time help arrived, Toni had landed, making heartbreaking cries into his lifeless body. What followed was a complete shutdown for Toni. Some parts of her brain probably wouldn't be able to recall anymore.

On the way back to the base, she had grown quiet and unresponsive. She sobbed into Dipper's side when Maru announced the severity of her partner's injuries. What followed was a side of Toni no one had ever seen before. She barely spoke, barely ate, cried for Blade constantly, and stopped taking care of herself in general. She stayed by her injured partner the whole time as Maru fixed him. Days had blurred into one. Upon transporting Blade back home, Dusty came to apologise for his actions in causing Blade's crash. As for the AW109, all these traumatic events had simply caused her to snap at Dusty, a side neither he nor anyone else on the team had ever seen before, and then she stormed off. Given what happened on the day, no one could blame her for her outburst, however eye-opening it was.

Their closest friends, 4 Superhornets (Steve, Daniel, Daisy and Emily), visited the base to comfort Toni, which the extrovert in her was grateful for, but then she had to witness yet another heartbreaking sight; a complete shift in Daniel's normally cheerful demeanour as he lay down and snuggled into a comatose Blade.

Once the friends left, Toni had grown tired of holding herself together and allowed herself to break down alone. Unlike her fiancè, Toni isn't the sort of person who has a talent for holding her emotions in - rather than experiencing and displaying whatever emotion she's feeling at any given point. The outgoing extrovert inside her doesn't cope well with tying her emotions down and holding them in, so the crying helped her to unleash her emotions in that moment; however, for the first time in forever, she did feel truly alone in this moment. Her perfect little world was crumbling all around her, and that left her feeling…vulnerable.

A few days had passed in a blur, and unbeknownst to Toni and the rest of the team, the fire from the mines was still spreading in a quiet area of the park. Telegraph wires and signal infrastructure had been disabled and burned in the process, causing the team weird, sporadic glitches in the system, intermittent signals, and no new reports or emergencies had come through since. It was only when the wind changed again and started blowing the fire back on itself towards the park's Fusel Lodge that witnesses finally started putting in reports or making calls straight to the base. It was only by chance that Patch still used an old mobile and caught the emergency calls. By this point, thick smoke had covered the park and spread towards nearby towns and cities. V6 Valley was quickly being taken over by a slow-motion tsunami of fire, fuelled by the new change in wind speed and direction. Blade had still not woken up, and the rest of the team left to fight the fire under his second-in-command, Windlifter. Toni still stayed hidden away in hers and Blade's hangar as the team left. It was only shortly after that that Blade finally awakened, dizzy and confused about his whereabouts and what had happened.

After having an hour or two to eat something and recuperate, Blade realised what had happened around him and promptly left the hangar, despite Toni's desperate pleas to stay put. She bravely followed Blade out of the base to help the team, despite the terrifying hellscape around her.

What followed was a series of events - passing in what could only be described as a traumatic blur - of Blade holding up the edge of a burning bridge to save an RV couple, Dusty crashing, and witnessing Blade frantically darting around with an old bambi bucket from the base to try and protect their plane friends' homes from being demolished by fire, and more, all the way up until the blaze finally burnt itself out in the early hours of the next morning.

The next few days were grim. Dusty was brought back to the base for repairs to help save his life. Everyone was completely exhausted and spent the next few days resting in their hangars until the air quality significantly improved. Maru medically grounded Blade until he got better. The nicest thing was that Toni was given the time, quietness and peace to take care of her fiancè and nurse him back to health, and he slept off the physical and mental stresses for around 3 days.

As time passed, Blade started to mentally and physically heal with Toni's help, Dusty followed suit, and then came the onslaught of news journalists, press releases, and TV crews that demanded answers for one of the UK's biggest blazes. It later turned out that they had all gone to the Grand Fusel Lodge first, and the SI had been badmouthing the team to them. Toni was determined to feed the press with some correct and useful information to go on, mostly handling it by herself, hoping they'd leave them alone. She did it whilst trying to protect Blade and keep him away from the cameras, whilst he concentrated on healing. Sometimes it worked…sometimes not. There were times when even Blade needed to step in and speak to them. He was chief after all. It started to get so bad to the point where herself and Blade mentally couldn't give any more. On a couple of occasions, their FA18 friends, Steve and Daniel, were passing through and spotted the groups of press hounding the Agusta pair. Feeling sorry for them, they diverted the press away from them, boasting about how amazing the team was, there were no casualties, and talking at length about how incredible the Chief was at his job, despite the horrible working conditions they had to endure. The FA18s, with the help of their Navy colleagues, even put in a complaint against Cad to the governing Forestry authority, determined to help their friends and get rid of the awful Superintendent. Even Toni's friends and family spread the news about the Air Attack team's amazing efforts, whilst badmouthing the Superintendent at the same time. All this attention worked, and Cad was promptly removed from the park for investigation purposes.

But the nightmare for Blade and Toni didn’t end there.

For the next couple of months, the team had to attend hearings. Blade had to battle it out against Cad in court, with Toni and the rest of the team supporting him the whole way through. The two FA-18s supported them, even persuading their Navy squadron to get behind it all. Another friend, a Concorde billionaire who lived locally to the area, offered to cover the legal costs without so much as a favour back. Eventually, the Piston Peak Air Attack team won the court case and was heavily compensated. Even the Superintendent had to pay the team thousands for damages.

For Toni, it felt like this nightmare may finally be over. For once, she and Blade were now rolling in cash. They put it directly to the base to undergo intense infrastructure updates, new builds and renovations. Each member of the team got a big bonus. And finally, Blade kept his promise to Toni and got them a wedding ring, proposing to her on the spot one peaceful evening. Throughout this entire time, Toni never doubted him. Not even for a moment. She always knew that one day he'd finally get her a ring to marry her with. Even if it was the cheapest one.

A couple of months later, Blade and Toni officially got married at the Grand Fusel Lodge, which was now under the command of Jammer, the Park’s ranger, who had now become the new Superintendent. The Agustawestland pair jetted off abroad on their honeymoon to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, with their Concorde friend treating them to first class and covering their flight tickets.
