The Powerpuff Girls & Friends:

A PPG A.U. where "What if the 2016 PPG Reboot was GOOD?" where the girls aren't the only heroes of Townsville anymore! But first, here are the Core Trio - In the Combined style of the American Classic & Powerpuff Girls Z!

#thepowerpuffgirls #powerpuffgirls #ppg2016
Blossom MK2 - Commander & The Leader Blossom’s defining trait is her identity as the leader of the Powerpuff Girls. She is intelligent, composed, tactical, and deeply committed to duty, often acting as the team’s planner and strategist. In battle, she’s the one who determines formations, coordinates team attacks, or formulates counter-strategies in the heat of danger. Her calm logic and analytical mind make her the most reliable field commander of the trio. Despite her intelligence and heroic track record, Blossom has a tendency to become overbearing. Her need to maintain control, do things the “proper” way, and ensure everything aligns with her standards can make her insufferable to teammates and rivals alike. She often struggles to balance being a supportive leader with being a strict perfectionist, and sometimes unintentionally pressures others by expecting them to match her drive. Although she is the most mature of the girls, Blossom is not free from insecurity. She becomes anxious or competitive when compared to intellectual rivals, especially fellow young geniuses or prodigies who threaten her self-image as the “smart one.” These moments of vulnerability occasionally lead to her activating her frightening combat state known as “Blossinstinct” — an intense, hyper-focused mode where her precision becomes unnervingly sharp. Her most iconic ability is her Ice Breath, allowing her to freeze villains, terrain, or incoming attacks. Blossom’s mastery of her cryogenic abilities is tied directly to her emotions and mental clarity, making it both a weapon and a reflection of her discipline. Her second major specialty is her Math-Assist Combat, a unique fighting style where she rapidly calculates trajectories, angles, velocities, and weaknesses mid-battle. Blossom’s brain effectively becomes a living supercomputer, enabling her to strike with optimized accuracy, redirect enemy attacks, or predict movement patterns. Bubbles MK2 - The Joy & The Laughter Sweet, bubbly, and grounded in Emotional-Strength, Bubbles serves as the social anchor of the Powerpuff Girls. She’s the heart of the trio — compassionate, cheerful, and able to lift the mood of anyone around her. Her emotional awareness helps her connect deeply with friends, and she provides the kind of empathetic support that holds the group together in stressful moments. She also enjoys teasing others in a playful and affectionate way. Even when she makes jokes or pokes fun, it’s never out of cruelty; instead, it comes from her desire to bond and bring warmth to those she cares about. Her friendliness and sensitivity allow her to read a room quickly, supporting others when they’re down and celebrating their victories wholeheartedly. However, Bubbles possesses a terrifying side known as “Bubblevicious.” She was the first among the sisters to manifest a scary mode, triggered instantly the moment she sees something gentle, innocent, or defenseless being harmed. When she cries, it’s always because someone has been hurt — not from weakness, but because she feels others’ pain as if it were her own. Her emotional depth is both her strength and her catalyst for fury. Bubbles’ primary specialty is generating energy-based toy constructs, which manifest as plushies, remote-controlled cars, arts-and-crafts decorations, toy trains, or similar imaginative creations. Under normal conditions, these constructs glow light blue. When she enters Bubblevicious, however, they transform dramatically into dark-blue, almost life-sized constructs resembling intimidating military-grade machines. Her fighting style, Playful Offense, means she battles as if she’s simply playing around. She may poke or tap an enemy casually — yet those deceptively lighthearted strikes often land with tremendous hidden force. This whimsical combat style makes her unpredictable, tricky to read, and surprisingly efficient in close-range encounters. Buttercup MK2 - The Strength with the Big Heart Known as the Strength with the Big Heart, Buttercup is a powerhouse wrapped in emotional depth. Though she exudes toughness and intensity, she embodies a paradox: she is strong, yet restrained; fierce, yet deeply caring. She often reacts strongly when someone behaves cruelly or unjustly, stepping in like a stern big sister — even though Blossom is technically the oldest. Buttercup embraces both physical prowess and calculated restraint in combat. She loves hitting hard, but she also loves hitting smart. Outside of battles, she has a passionate interest in roller skating, treating it as both a hobby and a discipline. Her involvement with the Derbytantes blends seamlessly with her tomboyish side while still allowing her softer “girly streak” to shine through. Her scary mode, “Buttersavage,” unleashes raw, berserk force. Initially, she feared this state because of the loss of control, but over time she learned to stabilize and contain it. Alongside this, Buttercup shares a particularly strong sibling bond with Bubbles — whose emotional strength encourages Buttercup to accept her full identity. This allows her to proudly wear the Derbytantes’ pink jersey, purple skirt, and even her bright green security blanket as a cape. Her love for nature rounds out her personality, revealing a gentler side beneath the rough exterior. Buttercup’s unique power is Telekinesis, enabling her to lift, throw, push, or manipulate objects without direct physical contact. This ability complements her fighting style perfectly, giving her versatile battlefield control and allowing her to strike from unexpected angles. Her combat philosophy, Impact Theory, centers on analyzing opponents for structural weaknesses and delivering perfectly timed punches. Instead of wasting stamina on reckless force, Buttercup focuses all her strength into efficient, targeted hits — making her blows devastating despite her controlled, disciplined approach.

So I attempt to fix design of Derbytantes members excluding the large member, the major change is the lack of ears and strap at helmet in both draft and final design, the skirt is too semi realistic in both draft and final design, so I change to simple design as 1998 version.

In Derbytantes' group, there's unnamed twin who're similar to Jaylyn and Haylyn, but until the show cancelled, they don't have official name
