Jester Sonic but he existed in the storybook world of SATBK and was King Arthur's court jester. Jester Sonic getting his throat slit in the throne room by the king because his face reminded him of the fool who's trying to end his reign.

Some of the Restoration members probably know her by name with how often she comes by to drop off a bag full of miscellaneous badnik parts and informing them of where she found the parts.

Her name is Aria, and she makes her own instrumental music that's basically a brief snapshot of her listening to her surroundings. Most of her music is very clearly what nature is like in areas she's been to, but she does write a piece that is fully just her personal experience with the metal virus, with her have a pause when she gets infected to when the crisis gets dealt with.

Although she does have a house, she's more likely to be found camping out in the wild during the fall and spring seasons.

Although she's had a proper interaction with the main cast, she has occasionally spotted Sonic when she's camping out in the area Green Hill Zone, though it is very brief and she doesn't bother him when she spots him, but she does have a nod to her spotting him in her music with a consistent motif that's very subtle in her music.

Aria is the type of person to always lend a hand to those that need it. She's kind and reliable, but also isn't fully aware of major events going on unless someone is informs her or she witnesses them firsthand.

Here's what she looks like!

And here's some art of her done by my friend @dracualasgaycousin!

After Sonic uses the fake emerald to Chaos Control the first time in SA2, he's sick and clearly hiding it, him being too focused to save the world, the events go as normal with Sonic feeling a bit wiped out every now and then.

Imagine if going Super made his sickness worse. Imagine him beating final hazard, watching Shadow fall to his death, and only then does he pass out on the way home, him being so sick that it's a wonder how he was able to keep going for so long.
