You're on the mark. Stacia's probably the best adjusted of all of 'em. She asks for and gives help pretty evenly. She can take care of herself physically, but that could get her overlooked by the rest of the adult crew. I wouldn't forget to check in on her either.
Steven's quick to ask about everyone else's problems, and that's real sweet for his age, but he's way too quick to reassure adults that everything's fine when things might not actually be fine. I wanna know what sort of emotionally unstable adults were raising him, that he feels like that's his responsibility to do, but he's told us that he's an interplanetary diplomat between the alien side of his family and the Earth where he was raised. My best guess is he was raised by guardians who had no actual clue how to parent a human. Maybe not even a kid of any species. They probably treated him as an adult too early without a working knowledge of human development stages, and now he doesn't know how to behave otherwise.
[Bunny ticks off on his paw as he names the rest.] Besides them we got Dave, Karkat, Kevin, Jack, Setsuna, and Tenten.
Dave does not know when to stop his mouth from runnin'. I haven't talked to Karkat yet, but he might be the same. They go out of their way to be individuals in writing. They're creative as the day is long, but with bluer language than I'm gonna repeat to a toy. Probably best not to make a fuss over it, so prepare yourself if that's not what you're used to. They're tryin' to be funny, and y'know, they're mostly succeeding.
[He honestly has a chuckle over pretty much everything those two write!]
But they seem like they're trying to get genuine attention more than laughs. Not sure why they both feel the need to pull out so much creativity just to get their points across. Might be a history of neglect that they still feel they gotta overcome to get listened to. Or they're just bored and having fun. Either way, they need the attention, and they should get more of the positive kind.
Kevin is a vampire. [He has to let that one hang a bit.] Pulled outta an apocalypse. I - am - extremely worried about him. But I can't get close to him - literally - because something about what I am and what he is makes him uncomfortable in my vicinity. I don't know why that is.
[Maybe if he remembered anything earlier than 100 years ago, he'd have some clue as to why Kevin gets itchy and uncomfortable when Bunny is less than 6 feet away from him, but he doesn't. It's a problem.]
He's got the same "eager to handle everyone else's problems" that Steven does, and given he's from a vampire apocalypse, I'm guessing he's surrounded by folks with possibly centuries of arrested development and trauma that haven't developed coping skills of their own across the ages, so as the more recently parented and traumatized rookie, he feels he's gotta do that work for them. He calls himself a monster and thinks of himself as a burden on the crew for needing blood. He might get himself killed if Jorgmund gives him the opportunity on a mission, and I'm guessing they won't try to avoid it too hard.
[Is that too much for a children's toy to handle? Bunny wishes he could see Woody and Buzz's reactions in real time, because this is all going to factor in to just how honest he is with them about how bad treatment of children in worlds that don't have Guardians can be.]
Jack is always tryin' real hard to get a reaction with this Evil Genius Child Supervillain image. He likes seein' people clutch their pearls over it, but he likes attention overall, and he probably needs some. Guessin' he'll try and push anyone expressing real empathy up front away, to see if they're serious about carin', or just confirm his Evil Loner identity.
[Of course, Bunny doesn't know Woody and Buzz's history with Edgy Child Supervillain types. He's just thinking that he hasn't checked in on Jack in a while to see where his edge levels are at and it's probably about time to do so.]
Setsuna's cuter than a kitten and a big thinker, but she's from a false reality controlled by a computer fascist. I'm not pretending I understand it, but she's real social and could fall in with Stacia under "not getting checked in on enough."
Tenten's a ninja. I'm not favoring any world that trains child soldiers but it did prepare her for this environment. [Ain't gonna save that world from getting looked hard at after all this is over, after he figures out interdimensional magic nonsense to go look closer at it.] She's probably the one I'm least concerned about on the rig, but I'm not overlooking her either.
On the older end there's Saturday, Nora, Catra, and Adora. None of them would be happy if they knew I was listin' 'em as kids, but Catra's the only one I think would actually try to disembowel me over it. [He has a slightly affectionate little chuckle over that.] She and Adora seem to be from the same place, but whatever it was, it did more damage to Catra than Adora. Not to say I don't think Adora's got some damage, she's just expressing it much less angrily than Catra is.
Nora's a bruiser with good training and it seems like she's from a world where that's normal and more or less safely educated. Doesn't seem like a child soldier situation, but I could be misreading. Saturday's a sweetheart with good combat skills and she seems emotionally put together, but they're still not quite done growing and I'm keepin' an eye on 'em.
I'll have to see about Vanya. She must be from a world where I don't exist. [There are too many for comfort.]
Overall, the suits aren't providing them enough recreation time, rest time, therapy, safety, food, blankets, or, well, anything a kid needs to grow comfortable and healthy. They could give them all these things, but they won't give 'em up and they don't make ' em easy to steal.
I notice the both of you are real small and potentially sneaky. And I hear your friend's our mole.
