Charmy Bee

Charmy Bee is a character from the Sonic series.
== Charactah Account ==
Charmy is Chaotix' youngest member and by far its most childish. He spends most of his time being a typical kid; hyperactive and constantly getting on Vector's nerves, but he does look up to his peers and does occasionally prove useful in the team's efforts.
Good-shaped yet sloppy, Charmy is hyperactive, scatterbrained and not too bright. As a child, he loves to play above all else, and he can always be seen flying around energetically. When the team is receiving their first mission at the beachy Seaside Hill, Charmy is hovering around singing "Sea, sea, sea". However, he is also very friendly, lighthearted and cheerful.
Due to his age, Charmy is not as skilled a detective as Vector or Espio, but he is nonetheless valuable to the team. It is possible he is also greedy like Vector, as they had dollar signs in their eyes when their client promised a large payment (Sonic Heroes), although, as children are prone to do, he may just be emulating Vector's behavior.

== Trivia ==
* Charmy is the youngest male character of the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
* In the English manual of Knuckles' Chaotix, Charmy was labeled as being sixteen years of age; however, with the release of Sonic Heroes, his age has been retconned to six. It should be noted that the Japanese manual for Chaotix didn't list an age for Charmy as it did for the other characters, although the other characters' ages were also inconsistent with their later portrayals.
* His size changed greatly from Chaotix (in which he was very small) to Sonic Heroes (in which he was approximately the size of Cream, who is smaller than other Sonic characters, but far larger than previously proportioned).
* Charmy is the first (and currently only) anthropomorphic insect in the entire cast of the series in the video games.
* During the cutscene that took place before the Egg Hawk battle in Sonic Heroes, Charmy acts as if he's never met Robotnik before, which contradicts the events that took place in Knuckles' Chaotix. This may be because Espio referred to him as Doctor Eggman, but Charmy may have remembered him as Doctor Robotnik. This also ignores the fact that the Chaotix keep pictures of the Badniks from the original Sonic the Hedgehog in their office.
** However, according to Takashi Iizuka, Charmy and the Team Chaotix in Sonic Heroes were recreated as new characters from the same characters in Knuckles' Chaotix when Sonic Heroes was designed, ignoring certain traits that had been established in Knuckles' Chaotix that would have contradicted their intent in the game.
* So far, Charmy is the only member of the Chaotix not to appear playable without the rest of his team (Espio appeared in Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Rivals 2; Vector appeared in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, its sequels, Sonic Free Riders, and Team Sonic Racing).
* Charmy has proven, despite his small size, he is actually very strong because he can lift both Vector and Espio and remain in flight.
* Both being designed by Naoto Ohshima, Charmy's antennae share their design with Moto Bug's.
* In the video game series Pinobee directed by Ohshima, the design of the main character is very similar to Charmy.
* In Sonic 3D Blast, the Bee bears a resemblance to a giant-headed Charmy.
* Charmy is one of the few male characters to wear clothes other than the usual gloves and shoes.
* Charmy is seen to have a small bee badge on his jacket.
* Charmy seems to be so scatterbrained that he sometimes can't remember what to do. In the DS version of Sonic Colors, Charmy seems to have forgotten that he was sent on a job and was too focused on the rides.
* Charmy is the least seen character of the current Team Chaotix in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series.
* In Shadow the Hedgehog, he can't be controlled by the second player, unlike Vector and Espio. This is most likely because he floats like the Eggman monitor and Doom's Eye. Note that the Xbox version lacks multiplayer in story mode.
* Charmy, despite being male, possesses a stinger. In real life, the stinger is an attribute only female bees possess.
