Because Sunny here is human, Ben and Sunny are each other’s favorite cousins, at least until Sunny had enough of earth and decided to leave the moment she became an Anodite, she tried to take Ben with her to Verdona, who she could sense, but didn’t consider that Ben was still human and flying(the only ability she currently knew) to space at great speeds is kinda gonna effect him badly.

Natural Anodites are born when something on their planet makes a certain “Spark” because of this they don’t have DNA, as beings made of pure energy they are compatible with almost every species because they can change to match their love.

Mostly they live their immortal existence having adventures on their own, they don’t really have families often.

Despite loving their families, when they do decide to have them, they tend to leave behind their short life spans family before anyone dies (often even earlier) and only comes back if they believe or sense any descendants born with a “Spark” or what they consider ‘Family that they get to keep’ you know cus if they aren’t Anodites they die.

While that’s technically mostly canon, the biggest difference in my version is that no one is born with a Spark, it is a misunderstanding made from never really staying with the families they start.

Natural Anodites are born from a Spark.

Anodite descendants can spark a “Spark” via metaphorical “flint and steel” and far enough removed in the family tree from the Anodite, the descendants lose even that ability.

So in my version Gwen prime gained her “Spark” the moment her magic turned from blue to pink. Her “flint and steel” in this case being the adventure that was the roadtrip “flint” and using magic without any charms “steel”. The future Gwen they met that summer wasn’t an Anodite, this because she relied on charms so much that magic never became her “steel” and the fact, between Ben and Gwen, Ben had the Anodite personality. What I mean is Verdona, Sunny, Gwen and Ben who is the odd one out? It’s Gwen.

“Flint” will always be something about adventure. “Steel” will be different from person to person. This is why Carl and Frank (prime) are not Anodites they had neither.

The prototype Omnitrix accidentally stops the Anodite Spark. This is because the prototype is too susceptible to Mana and Magic, think ghost freak, it’s a safety feature. Ultimate Ben is an Anodite because he no longer had the prototype.

“Steel” is easier the more compatible you are with Anodite nature. Gwen took charmless magic with no shortcuts while traveling because she’s not that compatible, Sunny and Ben already had everything they needed their “Steel” would just be the knowledge to want the power.

Sunny in my version (because honestly I’m not that familiar with the canon explaination) is also human here, related to Ben and Gwen by Max and Verdona’s third child, Sunny only gained the “Spark” after finding about Gwen, because really that’s the only thing she needed to get the Spark.

Above I use Anodite for everything so it also makes sense to others, With the 7 Tennysons, I want to categorize them:

Anodite: Verdona, Sunny

✧ Sparklings: (^Sunny), Ben

Nature-incompatible Anodite descendants: Carl, Frank, Gwen10, mysterious Sunny parent

✧ Sparklings are just people with the Spark that hasn’t fully committed to being an Anodite; think Gwen prime as an example, they aren’t immortal yet.

The BG is from an episode I think Pam Friends made it.
