I've made a new FC, Oracle the Jackle. Problem is that I can't decide what in the name of whatever her ventriloquist puppet/dummy's going to be. I can't decide whether I should make it a Chao or a Mobian (that's a a few inches smaller than Cream).

Chao are small, so would be a lot more easier for using because it would be small and compact (because Oracle is also a psychic and so wouldn't always be using the puppet). But being a ventriloquist, when she IS using the puppet it's going to obviously have some talking lines. And having a talking Chao puppet would be very silly looking. Along with the fact that despite having a Chao puppet being handy, Mobian-Chao teams are VERY overused.

A Mobian puppet on the other hand would be a lot less silly looking, and I know I could just make it a lot smaller than an average Mobian to make it more compact and easier to carry around, but I don't want it so small it would then look more like a children's doll than a puppet being used in a ventriloquist act.

So what do you guys think? Should Oracle's ventriloquist puppet be a Chao or a Mobian? Is there any way I could make a compromise? Or is my idea for this character just downright silly altogether?
