Amy Rose

Amy Rose

Sonic's self-proclaimed girlfriend, an orphan from Palmtree Town. After Sonic rescues her town, AND her later on, she becomes integrated into Sonic's team. Sonic is unsure about her at first, but she eventually proves herself worthy and a respectable, resourceful Freedom Fighter, and can almost match wits with Sonic.

For the most part, Sonic doesn't mind her company, but can get aggravated when she puts too much focus onto any possibility for a relationship.... But who knows? Maybe deep down, he might have a soft spot for the little pink hedgehog!

Biography
Amy chanced a meeting with Sonic after Metal Sonic attacked them. It had always been her dream for him to rescue her, and it came true when Metal Sonic captured her and presented her to Robotnik.

After rescuing her (and Tails), Amy pleads with Sonic to allow her on the team. Sonic isn't sure at first, but decides to go with it, exciting Amy, who says out loud about showing up the other girls at the orphanage. Sonic seemed outraged that this was her intention, but suddenly smiles and says, "Can't think of a better reason!"

Abilities
Because Amy does not possess any type of super speed, she is always needing to be carried by Sonic or Tails. Later into the series, however, she is seen running behind the two, although not nearly as fast.

What she lacks in speed, however, she more than makes up in quick thinking and wit. Even when she and Tails were first captured by Metal Sonic, she is able to trick Scratch and Grounder into helping Sonic so he wouldn’t be killed by Metal Sonic.

Amy also comes across a giant hammer called the “Piko Hammer” in “All the Fun of the Fair”, which she uses to stop Robotnik’s scheme and save Sonic and Tails. She has since mastered the hammering skill, which has come in handy in most situations.

Personality
Amy is a true romantic. She has always loved Sonic ever since she was a young girl, and her love has never wavered. She will find any opportunity to get Sonic alone with her for a romantic time. When she isn’t with Sonic, she is usually found reading a romance novel, or wanting to watch a love movie.

Romantics aside, she is also a fun-loving thrill seeker. She doesn’t like being left behind, as she wants part of the action as well, especially if it means impressing Sonic.

She is also prone to a bit of a temper, especially when her friends are being bullied or captured by the bad guys. She will defend her friends to the end. She is also seen to be extremely jealous if Sonic is paying attention to another girl, and will try to separate the two as far as possible.

Trivia
-Amy’s physical design was heavily inspired by her classic SegaSonic design, since NAoStH mostly took place BEFORE Sonic Adventure, so Amy would never be shown in her redesign (this applies as to why the characters do NOT have colored irises as well)

-Amy’s voice was originally imagined to be Cheryl Chase (Angelica Pickles from “Rugrats”) but since most likely the actress wouldn’t really partake in a syndicated DiC cartoon, it would realistically make sense if like Tails’ voice actors, a young girl would be brought in to voice Amy. Hence the imagined name “Cheryl Higgins”.

-Earlier designs of Amy had her eyelashes attached to her irises. When it was pointed out how “disturbing” it looked, her facial features were changed so that her eyelashes were attached to the side of her eyes, though like Sonic’s eyes, her irises would still blink rather than be given actual eyelids…
