Antlia

Antonia Cruz, better known by her nickname “Antlia,” is the gender-swapped, female counterpart of Antcruz who resides in an alternate dimension similar to his. She is nearly identical to her male counterpart; She lives in an apartment in the urban areas of Prodigy Island with her roommate Sammy and her pet sector dog Neo, loves exploration and mystery, and has electrical abilities which are gained from the consumption of S-Cola. Since gaining these abilities, one of her main priorities is to use these abilities for good, keeping the island clean and in the right hands. She can transform into her "ultimate form" if she gains the power of 20 S-Cola cans. When she isn't defending Prodigy Island, she is likely hanging out with friends or reading comic books.

Personality
Personality-wise, Antlia is similar to her male counterpart; she's adventurous and loves exploring, but socially laid-back and easygoing and just tries to participate without being a social butterfly. However, she does have more feminine traits; she's sweeter and is better at expressing herself, but is a bit more sensitive and goes extra hard on herself whenever she realizes that she's in the wrong. Other than that, she has the same quirks as Antcruz; she can lie as a last resort, is prone to daydreaming at inappropriate times, and it's unknown how exactly Antlia feels about being the one powerful enough to defend the island.

Appearance
Antlia has yellow skin, with black hair with ponytails that stick up and resemble long afro puffs, held by blue hairties, and four spikes in the front. She has brown eyes with two eyelashes on each one. Her attire includes a white t-shirt under a hoodie, the design of which contains reverses of Antcruz's; The left sleeve contains three circles with shades of yellow on the outter side, and the right sleeve contains two circles with shades of blue on the inner side. The ends of the laces are gold rather than black, and the front features a design that features a white "ア" Japanese letter on top of a yellow heart symbol. She also sports a blue skirt, grey sweatpants, and blue sneakers with yellow bottoms and laces.

For Antlia's ultimate form, her appearance changes in the same way as Antcruz's does for his transformation. She generally looks the same and sports the same outfit, except every part of her outfit featuring the color blue has been washed of its color and now appears to have a yellow or greenish-yellow color. His eyes have turned to black with white, glowing pupils, and her yellow skin is now glowing, signifying how she has become fully charged of her powers.

Trivia
- Antlia is technically one of my earliest OCs still being used, as she made her debut appearance on December 5, 2015, being part of MrMario5467’s GenderBenderDecember event. At this time, she was known as Anthonilia.

- Antlia would be reintroduced in 2017 as part of MingoNewsChannel’s failed GenderBenderDecember2 event, with her being renamed to Antlia during this time.

- Despite the 2017 variant receiving negative reactions, Antlia would still once again reappear in 2018, this time being established as a recurring character.

- Antlia’s final redesign occurred in 2020, with her receiving a hoodie design similar to Antcruz’s in order to coincide with Antcruz’s redesign. She was also given her ultimate form around this time.

- Antlia is far and away the earliest of the genderbend characters, with more of them not being introduced until 2020, half a decade after her debut.

- Because of Antlia’s origins as a character created for a Holiday-themed event, she usually replaces Antcruz as my “mascot” during the Christmas season.
