Lady Windermere (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Lady Anaris Windermere is a character featured in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of Sonic Underground. She is an aristocrat and Sonia the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog's caretaker, though she was intended to be the nanny of all three triplets. She was eventually arrested and roboticized due to her connection to Sonia and Sonic. She is a childhood friend of Queen Aleena Hedgehog, which was the reason why she entrusted her to care for two of her and her husband's children.
==History==
Before Robotnik's takeover of Mobius, Anaris was appointed the position of royal nanny to the then-newborn royal triplets by her childhood friend Aleena. A year later, however, Mobius was conquered by Robotnik's forces, forcing Anaris to step down from her position (for the moment) and return to her estate. One night following this event, Windermere discovered the infant Sonia and Sonic on the steps of the Windemere estate where Queen Aleena and her husband King Jules had left them. Taking the hedgehogs in after much hesitation (after hearing King Jules singing a lullaby to his baby son to stop his upset crying and soothe him to sleep), Windermere raised Sonia and Sonic as her own daughter and son (though, through certain arrangements, she was also able to raise Manic as well). She and her husband taught Sonic not to run in the house (as there were things like lamps, electronics and furniture that could break and hurt him), covering his mouth when he burps a chili dog (which the two would give the prince as rewards for his studies) and getting him to take baths. They even provided for Sonic a toy guitar that they purchased themselves, which he was capable of playing after some lessons from one of his tutors, and Lady Windermere herself taught the prince to sing. They were also given some of the educational materials used by the royal family to teach the children their actual heritage and bloodline, though not everything was given to them. After the Windermere estate's arson, all of the educational materials were recovered and sent to the Royal Hedgehog Palace, where they are kept in Sonic's royal apartments.
When Sonia and Sonic hit their early childhood years, Windermere and her husband were arrested by Swatbots. As she was taken away, Windermere told Sonia when she saw her to run, prompting Sonia to make her escape. Afterwards, Windermere was roboticized and turned into one of Robotnik's slaves. Lord Windermere told Sonic to go to his biological Uncle Chuck and that he wanted him to rev, the biggest rev that he can do. The lord then ran away and went into hiding, but was captured later and roboticized. The home of the parents was burned down and they were taken, presumably to be roboticized. Sonic cried as they were taken away, and his siblings followed shortly thereafter, but Uncle Chuck found all three of them to take into his care. While Sonia grew up, Windermere tutored her in playing the piano, though she was troubled by the child's energetic nature. During this time, she became well-acquainted with Sonia's fiancé Bartleby (though she secretly disapproved of their engagement as she knew Sonia did not love him), and approved of Sonic's girlfriend by betrothal (since the day of her birth) Amy Rose—her husband, Tannen, and Amy Rose's father Edmund were in fact close friends of the King, Jules Celeritas, and a marriage between the children of two of these families would ensure that their alliance would last for generations.
During one of their infiltrations of Robotnik's headquarters in Robotropolis, Manic and Sonia were able to see Lady and Lord Windemere in their roboticized form, acting as servants. Sonia wanted to help her, though Manic held her back, reminding her that there is no way to help someone who has been roboticized.
Later, Lady Windermere was deroboticized so she could start the Mobius Royal Etiquette Seminar, a finishing school for the royal siblings and those wishing to advance their chances in the royal court. Her husband was also deroboticized as well.
==Personality==
Windermere is a fine, kind, and proper lady. She is not much for outgoing and dangerous behavior, being very much alarmed by Sonia's athleticism and adventurousness and Sonic's impatience and stubborness. Regardless, she is not a strict parent and allowed Sonia the freedom to be herself. The same goes for Sonic, although he knows how to properly behave.
Windermere is a woman with strong maternal instincts: she shows great affection for Sonic and his siblings and worries about their well-being, and praises them often for their manners and good judgment. She is a close friend of their biological mother, Queen Aleena. She tries to be a responsible parent and wants only the best for Sonic and his siblings, even after she is roboticized. Lady Windermere is also rather dignified as she gets offended when receiving what she perceives as negative comments on her looks. Somewhat archaic, she has a preference for manly, macho but dignified men, such as her husband Tannen. Lady Windermere had, at one time in her life, a high-class aloofness towards regular people due to having been born into aristocratic status, referring to regular folks as "peasants." However, this has only died down with her and her husband, as aristocrats like Bartleby MontClair continue to do so.
==Appearance==
While this article shows her with her appearance from the original television series, in the reboot she is redesigned to be more in line with the typical designs of Sonic characters.
==Trivia==
*The word 'Windermere' is thought to translate as "'Winand or Vinand's lake'.
*Like in the original cartoon series, Lady Windermere is voiced by Joan Gerber.
*Manic sometimes says that Lady Windermere reminds him of Mary Poppins but without the "cool powers". This is one of the reasons why the triplets love meeting her when they go to Walt Disney World on their royal progresses to Earth. Mary has even also met Anaris.
