Getting To Know The S/I

Travel

Daphne was excited to finally go somewhere new. She traveled often outside of the country, visiting six out of the seven continents many times, (Antarctica was just too cold for her) going to life changing places like Nigeria and Brazil, along with the iconic fashion weeks in Italy and France, but she never really traveled within the USA. She had never traveled out of New York City for more than 3 hours while staying in the US. Now she was going across the country to the sunny San Diego. Her friend Nori, someone she met at the beach with the Varmitechs, invited her out to stay with her family for a week, because her mom is going on another business trip in Las Vegas, a couple hours away from San Diego. The plan was for Daphne and her mom to take the jet to Las Vegas, and Daphne would take a short flight to San Diego from there. Daphne zipped up her two huge suitcases and got ready to get on the jet, to take off for the gorgeous California. 

Daphne was super excited to see her friend again and meet her family. Nori and Daphne talked often over video calls and texts, and whenever Nori was in New York, but Daphne didn’t see her as often as she would like, and had never met any of Nori’s other family. Daphne wondered if they were as effortlessly cool as Nori was. Nori was a photographer and skateboarder, both things Daphne was awful at, and was incredibly close with her whole family, even her aunts and uncles. She was older than Daphne was and had an air of maturity that Daphne had not been able to replicate, no matter how hard she tried. Daphne had heard so so much about Nori’s family and all of their talents and was excited to finally put faces to the names that she had been hearing since the beginning of the friendship. 

After getting out of Andrea and Nori’s car, who had picked her up at the airport, Daphne took a long look at Nori’s house. It was gorgeous and so chic, Daphne loved it. As Daphne walked through the door, she was instantly met with chaos. Nori gave a quick introduction of everyone after seeing Daphne’s shocked face and introduced them to her. Jett, Nori’s twin brother, was sitting on their kitchen counter eating an orange, while Layla, Jon, and Tim, Nori’s younger sister, uncle and dad, respectively, danced around the kitchen while a Switchfoot album played. Two more of Nori’s uncles were playing a very heated game of Uno together. Daphne’s mind was reeling from all of the chaos. She was not used to more than three people in her house in general at a given time, let alone, one room. Andrea, after seeing Daphne’s face, laughed and assured Daphne that the Foreman household is always crazy, to which the group whooped and Nori smiled at. Daphne managed a smile and tried to relax, knowing she was going to have fun here.

Daphne and the Wild Kratts Team

I am indeed alive!! I’ve been working on this for a while, but life has been crazy recently.

Daphne and the WK Team

Chris: Daphne likes Chris. He struggles to relate to her at times because he’s outdoors, literally touching grass. Whenever he needs help with the internet, he’ll call her over, knowing she’s good at that stuff. He watches her grow up in many ways, and is close with her, but sometimes he questions her mother’s intentions. He isn’t wholly convinced that Donita completely reformed, but he is willing to try to get over it, due to lack of evidence that she is back to her villainy ways. 

Martin: Daphne has always had an interesting relationship with Martin. Her mom was around him a lot, but she didn’t know very much about him. He was around enough for it to be suspicious, but not enough for Daphne to confront Martin or Donita about it.  Their relationship is their business and Daphne tries to just focus on her own relationship with him. He’s genuinely a very nice person, and while Daphne doesn’t talk to him without her mother around very often, he seems to be a like minded person to her. 

Aviva: Daphne loves Aviva. She’s probably the closest to Daphne of the WK team and they often chat to each other in Spanish. Aviva really cares about Daphne, but at times, especially when grades are involved, oversteps and tries to parent Daphne and force her to be better. She doesn’t think Daphne is trying hard enough in school, and doesn’t realize that math and science don’t come as easily to Daphne as they do to her. Despite all this, Daphne spends lots of time with Aviva and sends her some of her mothers finished products she thinks she’ll like.

Koki: Daphne didn’t get along very well with Koki in the beginning. They clashed a lot about the internet, since they both are on it and are prominent figures on it. Koki is against influencers in general, viewing them as scammers and not productive in society, and this bias bled into her relationship with Daphne. Daphne being Donita’s daughter didn’t help either. Koki is still semi convinced that the new being good act is just an act and Donita is waiting for them to let their guard down. As Daphne got more mature, she started talking to Koki more and told her more about her career on the internet and how not every influencer is the same. They eventually became closer, but still aren’t completely friends, with Daphne feeling hurt about what Koki said and Koki is still suspicious of Daphne.

Jimmy: Daphne rarely if ever interacts with Jimmy. She respects what he does but they just don’t have much in common. They follow each other on social media and like each other’s posts but their interactions don’t often go beyond a like and potential short comment. When they meet in person, they are both very awkward, preferring to interact with the safety of their screen in front of them. Daphne and Jimmy are both fine with this relationship, but people around them are pushing them to become closer due to their positive interactions.

These are soo cute!!

Special thanks to the wonderful @espresso-ships for crafting yet another excellent selfship game! Check out their blog for this template and so many more! Violet art credit goes to @/ranfordgallus.

This one was fun to do because it really hit some high points in their relationship, like these things have actually happened in my Wild Violet AU! Violet was in a talent show, Violet periodically must stay calm in emergencies, and Zach does forget to text back, 😂!

Daphne Meets Nori

(Nori belongs to @caityrayeraye and Varina belongs to @jokerislandgirl32 )

Daphne was enjoying the beach with her friend, Varina, when she saw a blonde tendril, that kind of looked like hair. She dismissed it as seaweed and continued playing. Then she saw something that looked like a mermaid tail. Daphne was going to dismiss it, but then she saw a head, a foot away from her.

Daphne screamed when she saw the girl, trying to swim away. The girl quickly apologized for scaring her, and introduced herself as Nori. Daphne was apprehensive about her, she was a mermaid!!! but Varina seemed to be comfortable with her and they were friends. Nori got out of the ocean, and transformed back into a human right before Daphne’s eyes. It was one of the coolest and weird things she had ever seen.

A couple hours later, Varina, Daphne, Nori and Nori’s partner Harry were lying on the beach. Daphne was fascinated by Nori and her relationship with Harry. She never had a relationship as long as theirs and never felt towards someone the feeling that Nori and Harry felt for each other. Nori seemed like a great person and Daphne exchanged phone numbers with her. They bonded over photography, and Nori offered to photograph her when she came to New York next. Daphne thought that was such a kind offer and accepted it. Varina, Daphne, and Nori took a photo together and then went their separate ways, promising to meet again soon.

I love them so so much!

Family portrait commission for @jokerislandgirl32 of Violet, Zach, and their lovely children!

This piece was definitely a challenge because I’ve never drawn Wild Kratts kids before! I hope I did your little ones justice! The Violet Varm family is so sweet and gorgeous! I had a blast bringing them to life! I hope you love the piece as much as I loved making it for you!

Daphne's Reference Sheet

(Note: this is vaguely designed after @jokerislandgirl32 ‘s reference sheet for her selfship kids)

Under the cut due to length

Full Name: Daphne Catalina Donata

Birthday: November 17th

Name Significance: Donita found a model named Daphne in a fashion magazine, who she thought dazzled every photo she was in, and she wanted her daughter to be like that + alliteration. Catalina was Henry’s grandmother who taught him to play the guitar’s name. Daphne got Donita's last name due to a game of rock paper scissors she won.

Nicknames: Mi Narcisa by Henry, Daffy by her younger siblings (They couldn’t pronounce Daphne); Daphne was never a huge fan of nicknames, preferring to just go by her name

Style/Signature Colors: Daphne prefers bold bright colors, like yellows and pinks, she likes to stand out in a crowd, and will wear whatever is trending at the moment, but her mother dresses her most of the time.

Height: 5’8; Her parents are both tall and she inherited those genes, but she is still slightly shorter than them both

Personality: Daphne is very career and fame oriented, almost to the point of obsession, but she isn’t shallow, often sacrificing for others when they need her help. Daphne is a very sassy girl, and would like you to think she doesn’t care, but it’s actually quite the opposite, with her gauging the reaction to everything she says. She has always been a very funny person, with a kind of dry humor, something she becomes known for on her social medias. Daphne is a very kind and ambitious person, but she is also very insecure about herself, often believing everyone hates her, even with evidence to the contrary. 

Family Relationships: Daphne, Dabio, and Donita are like three peas in a pod. As Daphne has grown older, they have only gotten closer, and Daphne views Donita and Dabio as her greatest inspirations to become a success story. Daphne’s father has pulled back from her a lot as she’s grown up, but she is determined to try and fix their relationship, if not for her sake, for the sake of her half-siblings. Daphne loves her half-siblings, and although there is a large age gap, she calls and texts them as often as she can, and is as enamored with them as they are with her. Allison, Daphne’s stepmom, hates her and has never had a meaningful conversation with her, so Daphne has begun to pull away from that toxic relationship, in favor of better ones. 

Love Intrests/Future Family: Daphne had a couple boyfriends in high school, nothing serious, always ending after a couple weeks/months, but she has always been looking for ‘the one’. She began to question if they even existed, after seeing people around her fall in love so quickly, and and questioned if she was even worthy of someone’s unconditional love. She eventually finds that in Vallen Varmitech, Zach and Violet’s youngest male child. (Ill add how they met at a later date, @jokerislandgirl32, if you have any ideas hmu)

Career and Talents: Daphne has been focused on becoming famous her entire life, eventually finding it through being an online influencer. As a result, her grades in school, while okay, were never as high as they should have been, with her really struggling in math and sciences, barely passing those classes. The only reason she passed was through extensive tutoring by Zach and Vera. Daphne also tried to become a musician like her father, to quickly realize she had no talent musically despite her best efforts, a big insecurity and disconnect from her father. 

A few years after high school, Daphne is invited to join a content creation house (Think Hype House etc) which she accepts the invitation. It is here where Daphne finally gets the worldwide fame and recognition she always craved. She stayed there for a couple years, before leaving and going on a trip to Greece to try and meet her grandparents and uncles. It is in Greece where Daphne realizes she doesn’t like where her content has gone, with the quality decreasing significantly from when she first started, and started to return to her roots of fashion and travel, with a bit of comedy skits mixed in. Daphne finds comfort in her new life as a superstar, and began to branch out and started her own PR company that she owns and operates.

Fun Facts:

Daphne’s favorite holidays are Fourth of July and New Years because she is udderly obsessed with fireworks

Her diet consists of almost anything, with an emphasis on sustainable sourcing of her meat, with a notable exception of shellfish and nuts, as she is deathly allergic to them both. She is a notorious picky eater though, making mealtimes difficult at times.

Daphne loves country and latin pop music, with her favorites being Shakira, Bad Bunny, Morgan Wallen, and Luke Combs, but she will listen to almost anything; she isn’t picky about music at all.

Daphne loves all nature except for bugs. She will scream when she sees any type of bugs (incuding moths and butterflies) and will run in the opposite direction. Other than bugs though, Daphne is down to hang out in nature, loving to take pictures of all the interesting wildlife. Her favorite animals are starfish and flamingos

Through her family and travels, Daphne has become fluent in Greek, Spanish and French in addition to English, a fact she will brag about to anybody who will listen

As a child, she didn’t watch much traditional tv, opting to watch reality tv, like The Real Housewives and Love Island, which her parents agreed to due to lack of knowledge of what they were. Her favorite movies though was the Barbie franchise, watching all of the movies and shows religiously, almost memorizing parts of them. She wanted to be Barbie so badly as a child, dressing like her for 5 Halloweens in a row.

Happy Birthday, Martin Kratt 🎊🎁🎉 !

the angstttt! I love it so much

What if Chris will work with Zach?

The first meeting part 2

"So that was your brother Chris?" Aviva asked and Martin nodded.

"Yes, the last time we saw each other we had a very hard fight, we said things to each other and well... I haven't seen him since" Martin explained.

"And who was the one next to him?" Jimmy questioned.

"This is Zach Var*interrupted*

"Guys, look at this!" Koki said, drawing the attention of the other three, "I looked up information about Zach and it turns out that he is an inventor and CEO of Varmitech Industries, a company that is dedicated to collecting animals and turning them into robots." Everyone was horrified to hear that. "And you say that your brother Do you work with him?" Koki asked offended.

"There has to be an explanation for this, I'm sure," Martin said, refusing to believe that his brother works in that horrible world.

"Mh....let's see Chris Kratt" Aviva searched and got some results "Chris Kratt biologist, zoologist and personal secretary of Varmitech industries, although he has some individual studies for the company he works for"

Everyone looked at Martin waiting for him to say something, on the other hand Martin grabbed his head more stressed than he was before, the looks on him were uncomfortable, it had been a long time since he felt comfortable with them, but he knew he had to say. something "I....this is my fault" was the only thing I managed to say about the one in blue

"Don't say that Martin, how would you know that your brother would work with someone like that?" Aviva consoled "we better make a plan to save those poor Oryx and talk to your brother and solve this"

"Yes, maybe we can meet him, Koki and I too," the pilot said enthusiastically.

"I have no intention of meeting him, I don't like people who hurt animals," Koki emphasized bitterly, who was very upset with the situation.

"Not us, but it's about my brother and I have things to talk to him about," said Martin, defending his brother. Maybe he doesn't know the reasons why he joined a company that harms animals, but that's no excuse. to treat him badly "Aviva, I think something occurred to me," the oldest finally smiled, leaving the others with the excitement and curiosity of knowing what occurred to him.

...

A new day had arrived, the bright sun greeted all living beings with its splendor, giving a good sign that that day would be beautiful.

Martin and Aviva went out with createrra where Zach and Chris were to start their plan, Martin was just hoping to be ready to talk to his brother and Aviva didn't seem very happy about what she had gotten "Eh? Hey it's your brother again" Zach said enthusiastically.

"Oh..." the boy said with little interest, who left without saying anything else. His boss tilted her head in confusion but preferred not to stop him, "he will have his reasons for leaving." He thought.

"Hello Zach, it's been a while," the older man greeted there.

"About 8 years to be more exact"

"Yes haha, um, Zach we were talking Aviva and I and she is very curious to know how to ride an Oryx" this made the inventor very happy who couldn't help showing it

"Really?" He asked excitedly, doing a lot to the girl.

"Hey, well, me," she said, a little uncomfortable because of the rudeness. "Come on, you'll have a lot of fun, I assure you!" She said and took her by the wrist and took her straight to the stables.

"Have fun," he greeted them, both inventors walked away. "Now to look for Chris," he said seriously and setting off.

Chris was looking at some papers, while he watched his boss chat with the purple girl and help her get into the Oryx. "She looks so happy." He thought to himself when he suddenly felt someone touch him on the shoulder.

"Hello," a shy Martin whispered, Chris felt like all the muscles in his body tense and prevented him from moving. "It's been a long time since we last saw each other, don't you think?" He joked nervously when he saw how the youngest didn't answer. "I understand that maybe you don't want to see me, I just wanted to know if you're okay." He said, looking away to see the two inventors talking.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking." He spoke with a certain tone of indifference that Martin never imagined hearing from his little brother. "Are you doing well?"

"Oh yes! In fact, I founded my own animal protection and research team!" He said excited to see that his brother was paying attention to him.

"Yes, mom told me a little about that when I talked to her, she said she was proud" this surprised Martin a lot, he didn't think that Chris would still communicate with the rest of the family after what happened between them and this Chris did. I noticed by the look of confusion and surprise on the older man's face, "that you and I had not been together anymore, that doesn't mean that I didn't communicate with the rest of the family," he clarified, you could see some discomfort at having to clarify it, "but You'd know if you went to family gatherings..." he hissed venomously.

"I didn't mean to make you angry friend, sorry, you know that kind of things happen to me hehe" I try to calm the tension that formed after the poisonous comment

"We are not friends," he said, keeping his distance from the opponent.

An awkward silence ensued after that, Chris seemed to wait patiently for his brother to leave while he continued with his work.

"And what are you doing?" He asked as he snooped through the important papers that Chris had in his hands.

"Don't act like you care," Chris stressed with an annoyed and tired expression, moving the papers away from Martin's gossiping gaze. And he began to walk away from there, being chased by Martin who did not stop talking to him.

"But if I care, at least you could tell me what you do with your life, I told you a little about mine, that's fair" he stood in front of him to prevent him from continuing walking, Chris only seemed more upset but he didn't want to make a fuss.

"Martin, please let me pass, I have work to do" he tried to move but his older brother prevented him from moving forward and in an accident Martin surrounded him with his arms, preventing him from moving, bothering the youngest a lot "are you in trouble or something like that? Let me go, is it?" "Seriously" The youngest ordered, clenching his fists in annoyance.

"No, I won't do it until you answer me," he clarified. Chris sighed tiredly and relaxed his fists.

"Okay, I'm fine, I have a job as a biologist and secretary at the company Zach founded, happy?" I ask, asking with my eyes to release him from that hug.

"Not at all, why did you decide to go with him?" Martin looked at him with pity and Chris looked away.

"He offered me a position, I needed a biologist and we had known each other since we were little, so why not?" He said in a carefree tone, Martin still had a pitiful look, he looked like a puppy who had been punished and Chris felt more uncomfortable in the hug "Can you let go of me now!?"

"Hey, okay," he said, releasing him, Chris adjusted his clothes and took a few steps back to have distance.

"If that was all you wanted to tell me, I'm leaving" he was going to take another path when one time they were called

"Chris!/Martin!" They were from Zach and Aviva, the two inventors were calling them so they had no choice but to go

....

"Wow, you're very good at this," Zach commented, surprised to see how Aviva had no problem jogging.

"Thank you, although it bothers me, I must admit that the seats are very comfortable" I said sadly "even so, I still believe that the Oryx should not be used as saddles"

"Well, that's your opinion," said the one in the black vest indifferently, trying to anger the girl.

"It's not just my opinion, there are many people who think the same!"

"Just like there are many others who believe that what I do is right," he said, smiling superiorly at her.

Aviva was silent for a moment, she knew that Zach was right about that, so she couldn't make him free the animals just like that, she had to think of something to save the Oryx, until an idea crossed her mind.

"Zach, how about a competition?" Aviva asked, trying to sound as interesting as possible.

"A competition? You want us to have an Oryx race!?" Seeing him so excited, Aviva decided to play along.

"Sure, but with certain rules" Zach nodded happily "you will use an Oryx and I will use my invention, if you win we will leave you alone and you can use the Oryx as mounts, but if I win, you will let them free"

"Well, okay, we'll see you in a while then," he said, confident that she was going to win.

"Well, in that case let's call the brothers" he suggested, hoping that part of his plan had worked on them.

"Yes, Chris will surely like the idea of ​​the game"

"Chris!/Martin!" The inventors called excitedly, seeing how Chris and Martin were walking towards them but they seemed upset and sad.

"What's wrong Sir?" the assistant asked

"Everything okay Aviva?" The older man asked, hoping for good news.

"Everything is fine, Zach and I had a competition. If they win, we will have to leave the Oryx on the mount, and if we win, they will have to release him," the short-haired girl explained.

"I understand, in that case, I will send the zachbots to look for a safe lead here."

"Huh, a race?

"Yes, so come on, we have to get ready," said the girl, taking the blue one by the collar of his jacket and dragging him away from there.

Chris gave a tired sigh as he watched them leave, which confused Zach with "everything okay?" He asked him worriedly, "Don't worry, Sir, it's my thing," he said somewhat discouraged as he left. Zach took one last look at the blue and purple spots and began to suspect that they were up to something else.
