Some fun I had with a long neglected Sly Cooper OC of mine named Sarah Brendhart; the British husky girl who works alongside Carmelita Fox.
Works alongside isn't accurate though. More like; she is learning from Ms. Fox. If you recall from 'The Adventures of Sly Cooper' comics; we get a reflection of Carmelita's past where she was trained under the gruff and often hot-headed Inspector Barkley to becoming a police inspector.
Now it's Carmelita's turn to train someone. Only, it's someone she wouldn't have chosen. This was someone she was assigned to; and she was not thrilled. Sarah Brendhart arrived at Interpol from the British Metropolitan Police; and it seemed no one was willing to train her or guide her. So with Constable Cooper gone (And Carmelita left without Sly much to her dismay); it seemed that Interpol assigned Sarah to her to be trained.
While Sarah might have been thrilled to work with Carmelita; Carmelita was not. Sarah was known as 'the jinx' of Interpol; all the more reason no one wanted to train her. And although she never intends to be like this; Sarah is rather incompetent and wet behind the ears when she first starts out. This only adds onto the ire of Ms. Fox. (Cause at the same time she's trying to investigate into Sly's whereabouts in time.)
Naturally you can understand why Ms. Fox is impatient with Sarah. My goal isn't to make Carmelita mean; it's just to make her plight seem real. She's trying to get back someone important in her life; and the last thing she needs is to be burdened with an extra responsibility in training a rookie and grooming her into an inspector. She just doesn't need this right now.
The long and short of it is at the beginning of these two's partnerships; Carmelita is constantly impatient and yelling at Sarah, who tries her best but just can't make it. It's only later along an important mission does Carmelita realize that Sarah just needs someone to truly guide her and understand. (It involves a scene where Carmelita is able to see that Sarah truly does care about her partner and is trying really hard.) So later on the two start forming a bond and Carmelita does better to help Sarah by understanding how she she is and what she is capable of if pushed in the right direction.
Carmelita of course is the boss and mentor of Sarah. But Sarah's affections for her seems to suggest that she truly sees her partner as a friend and someone she could care about. Sarah looks up to Carmelita as a role model; and only later does Carmelita realize this despite belittling and losing patience with Sarah.
This is also where Carmelita develops a sort of maternal role towards Sarah; being like a mother bird trying to help her hatchling fly.
Don't get me wrong though...Sarah can still drive her crazy. But she is being slated to be comic relief that improves greatly as the story progresses. Guess Carmelita has to bring out the best in her against all odds and turn the jinx of Interpol into the cop she is meant to be.
Now about this picture; it shows two sides on why Carmelita isn't always thrilled to be with Sarah. Among the first one is Sarah putting Carmelita in awkward situations. This one involved a scene where Sarah thought Carmelita was dead; but it turned out she was perfectly fine. And Sarah is overjoyed to find it and gives her boss and mentor a big ol hug. Aww. XD While Sarah is pleased; Carmelita just feels a bit unsure what to make of this. (I haven't fixed Sarah's orientation yet; so maybe Carmelita should be concerned. XD)
Actually: if you notice Sarah is wagging her tail. I designed her pretty much to behave like an actual dog would; loyal and true. So there are many attributes I give to her pretty much spelling out that her affections pretty much go hand-in-hand (or paw-in-paw) with her canine instincts of loyalty.
And I had to sneak that extra line in on how Sly would "like" this. XD
The bottom one shows Sarah getting too much into Carmelita's personal space. That big ol' bushy tail of hers seems like something Sarah enjoys snuggling up to. XD And Carmelita of course beratss her by calling her "Eeediot." That's "idiot" in her Spanish of course. XD But Sarah just had to recite a 'Despicable Me' quote to tell Carmie why she's just hugging that big ol fluffy tail of hers. XD
There's is truly a strained relationship. Like Xena and Gabrielle. Like Kiyone and Mihoshi. Like Meryl Strife and Millie Thompson.
Well I won't let the conflict go on forever. Eventually these two can see eye to eye....and rather than be sore at her; eventually Sarah will do right to make Carmelita proud of her. Only time will tell. ;D
Oh and I don't really read fan fiction. If someone wrote a character partnership with Carmelita similar to this then I apologize. I never intend to copy anyone else's work.
