There are both pros and cons to being an only child as Tweak, Kwazii, and Squirt found out.

Tweak had begged her father for a little brother/sister since she was a teeny little bunny. He wanted to give her one, but he couldn't.

Tweak ended up getting her wish after she joined the Octonauts. She got more brothers and sisters than she could count, and she was instinctively good at being a big sister.

Even if she tries to murder Kwaziii at least 10 times a day, she loves him to pieces and if he ever wandered to her room in the middle of the night cos he had a nightmare, she'd immediately pause her videogame and let him lay his head in her lap while he tells her all about his bad dream and she scratches him behind his ears until he calms down and they have a sleepover (usually ending with them falling asleep on each other's shoulders)

Tweak adores having baby siblings. You'll often find her playing peek-a-boo with the baby Vegimals or playing a card game with the kids cos she wanted to spend some time with "her babies".

Kwazii was the same way as a baby kitten and begged his parents over and over again for a little brother or sister to play with. Once he joined the Octonauts, he found a big sister in Tweak, and soon he considered all his crewmates (minus the Captain and Inkling) his siblings. And he loves having "little siblings" to play with. He's been known to play with Peso's stuffed animals with him and even tried to learn a little bit of Spanish from him. He even (attempted) to read Donna Doxi books with Koshi once.

He often tries to take care of Tweak when she works too hard. Once when Tweak was still up at 2 AM working on a project, he went down to the Launch Bay, dragged her into bed, and stayed there cuddling her "until she fell asleep" (He fell asleep first, and Tweak didn't have the heart to leave) He tries to make her feel better whenever she's sad as well. Once he's tried to cut carrots into the shape of a wrench to try and make her smile (they didn't look like wrenches at all, but Tweak still appreciated it)

Squirt is a very naive, gullible boi cos of being an only child. Jane and Pinto constantly mess with him for the fun of it (and also cos he has no idea what's going on) Koshi has had to give him "sibling lessons" on how to avoid those two torturing him. So far, he's gotten better at being a "big brother".

The plus side on having three new siblings: he's never lonely, and he's experienced his first "sibling sleepover" that all of them had cos he was sad.

The con: he's absolutely clueless as to what it means to have a sibling. Whenever Koshi and Jane fight, his advice is always "hug it out" (cos he saw it in Encanto) and the girls just give him the death stare
