Touque Kid

Touque Kid is an alt of Jon inspired by Hat Kid from A Hat in Time, created by LovingSakuraKat.

Alt of the Month!
This was the Featured Alt of June 2022.

Lore of Their Creation
Around July of 2020, Katherine (LovingSakuraKat) had finished A Hat in Time 100%. Played every DLC, got every collectable, every unlockable, and every achievement. It's an indie game she really likes. She just started watching Jon around May, so she didn't know every single detail about the Alt-Jons, but she knew some stuff.

So Kat wanted to try her hand at drawing an Alt-Jon, but she didn't want to go for the usual busty big ladies. She instead went with the cuteness and smugness of Hat Kid, and made a version of Jon that would fit in A Hat in Time. While Hat Kid Jon does exist, Touque Kid is a bit different, by being Non-Binary and having a distant design than Hat Kid.

Touque Kid is more like a character inspired by Hat Kid, with many connections to Jon and the Alts.

Camille saw the original design of Touque Kid and drew her take on it, giving her a more cloudy style, which lead to Katherine loving the idea, and incorporating aspects of her design into the official design of the Alt-Jon. As such, Camille counts as a Co-Creator.

Appearance
 (The Nyakuza Outfit will be redone with the new reference sheet in the future) 
 * Touque Kid is an alien child from an unknown planet. She looks similar to a regular earthling, and her planet has a sun and a moon that are similar to Earth's.
 * Touque's age is unknown, but we do know they're, well, a kid. Well, technically they're more of a pre-teen, but they follow the naming trend of Hat Kid and Bow Kid. Plus, they're childish.
 * Touque uses the pronouns they/them, but don't mind when people use she/her.
 * Touque has light blonde hair, blue eyes that go from light shade to dark shade of blue, with stars in their eyes.
 * They wear glasses.
 * They are usually seen wearing a touque, as that's in their name.

Abilities
Touque Kid has the same abilities as Hat Kid and Bow Kid from the original A Hat in Time: being allowed to swap hats to get different abilities. It's about the same hats as Hat Kid, but with Flairs referencing characters that Jon relates to. And they add some special effects to what Touque Kid can do!
 * Sprint Hat: "Greed Basher" Hat Flair (Wario's Cap) - Allows Touque to do a Shoulder Bash
 * Breweing Hat: "Bigger Bang" Hat Flair (Rosalina's Crown) - The bombs are Star Bit shaped and the explosion is very galaxy-like.
 * Ice Cap: "Another Ninja" Hat Flair (Ryu's Mask and Bandana) - Nothing much here, just a joke that Ninjas are cool.
 * Dweller's Mask: "Dirtbag Chaser" Hat Flair (Robocop's Visor) - When it activates, the light would come from the visor's eyes part.
 * Time Stop Hat: "Frog Chaser" Hat Flair (Big the Cat's Ears & Froggy) - Referencing the Chaos Emeralds being able to stop time.
 * Unique Hat: "Glitched Egg" Hat (Wesker Egg & Wario/ Waluigi mustache) - Touque has a unique hat that allows them to open rifts in reality.

Touque Kid has an umbrella, called the Maple Star, which they use as a weapon.

And they also have 3 special badges that have different effects:


 * Charged-Measures: A different version of the Projectile Badge, instead of a laser, the Umbrella shoots constantly. (Reference: Jon's Raid Countermeasures)
 * Galactic Shoes: Allows Touque Kid to float in air mid jump, but comes with the drawback sliding more while running (Reference: Slippery Shoes from TRG's Luigi U Collab)
 * Fortuna: This badge allows Touque Kid to eat a fortune cookie to regain health, but have a side effect which can be good or bad. (Reference: Fortune Cookie)

Why do two of the three badges have negative side effects? Touque Kid likes the chaos lol  (Eventually these will be updated to go along the new reference sheet) 

Relationships and Story Events
Touque Kid has their own story and their own world, but isn't a stranger of traveling to alternate universes and meeting other Alt-Jons. Here are some relationships between Touque and some of the Alt-Jons, as well as other characters:


 * Touque Kid and Pastel Jon are Pastel Buddies, because of the colors of their regular outfits.
 * As Jonriel is everyone's mom, Touque is one of her endless troublemaker children.
 * Touque would take Egg to many adventures if allowed by Ōmu.
 * Touque Kid in their universe has a "best friend": Sunglasses Dude, which is an Alternate Universe version of Albert Wesker from Resident Evil. Just a younger, edgier version.
 * Touque Kid would get along well with Hana.
 * They have their own version of Bagel: a small feisty warrior, boss of the Nyakuza, that will do his best to protect his clan.
 * In Touque's Adventures, they and Sunglasses Dude collect Crystal Eggs as a replacement to Time Pieces, and a way of traveling to other worlds is the Power Trip Gear.
 * Eventually, Touque Kid does grow up into Touque Adult, however they're still as chaotic as always.

Fun Facts

 * Touque Kid was originally written as "Tuque Kid", but Katherine went for the spelling Touque instead. It looks better lol
 * Touque Kid was originally supposed to be transfemale, but Katherine thought that would be inserting herself too much, so she opted for Androgynous/ Non-Binary. Still transgender, but different lol
 * Touque Kid was featured as Alt of the Month on the Booru during the month of June 2022, with the main showcase art made by learn2chillax. Fitting for a Non-Binary alt to be the one for Pride Month!
 * Touque Kid was featured in Black Hole Chaos, the Jonaverse Fanzine, with the zine art made by TheFlaming1UP, the writing done by RotoEve, and the merch art done by learn2chillax.
