==History==
Sonic was born in a small village consisting of blue hedgehogs near Yeongjeog-in City. His mother and older sister were killed when the blue hedgehog village was destroyed by the Eggman Empire and his relationship with his father, General Kousaku, was completely strained when the latter abandoned his son to live in a baby farm, where Sonic had spent his early years there. The loneliness and lack of love from others had filled his heart with hatred and jealousy, which turned him into a juivinile deliquent, which resulted in him getting into a lot of fights with many mobians. When he turned six, he was sent to live in an elementary school, where he had met Tails as a baby, and became close friends with him. Because the principal in the school he attended was abusive and cruel, Sonic turned into a rebel due to the abuse he recieved from his former teachers and the principal, and decided to escape from the school with Tails. Soon after, they were attacked by one of Eggman's minions, and were saved by Knuckles, who was also an orphan, and took them into an abandoned house to stay. A year before the events of the series, Sonic recieved a letter from his father, telling him to go to his secret hideout, in which he does. The moment he got to his father's secret hideout, he saw his father dying from his wounds and his heart getting stabbed. General Kousaku then tells his son not to play a fool for the sake of his future, and gives the latter the weapon which was used to kill him. Before General Kousaku could tell Sonic further information before he died, Sonic immediately spotted a mysterious figure, and immediately chased after it after he declares it to be the killer. When Sonic finally gets out from the hideout, he saw the hideout exploding, and watched in horror to his father's death. Vowing revenge, Sonic decides to look for the killer of his father, and learns about Dr. Eggman, so he decides to look for the Eggman Empire with the help of his friends Tails and Knuckles.
==Relationships==
===Miles "Tails" Prower===
Like in all Sonic the Hedgehog media, Tails is Sonic's best friend and most trusted ally. Sonic first met Tails when he was sent to an elementary school when the latter was only a baby there. The two appear to have a very good relationship with each other, as Tails gives the perfect ideas for Sonic to thwart Eggman's plans for absolute domination against the world. Tails has proved to be a great assistance to Sonic, as he had helped him repair his broken plane after it was damaged. Whenever Tails is seriously injured or threatened by enemies, Sonic will always immediately help Tails to gain more courage to fight back himself.
===Amy Rose===
Ever since Sonic has rescued Amy from the Eggman Empire, Amy has looked up to the blue hedgehog and often chases him, much to the latter's annoyance and dismay towards her. Despite this, Sonic is always willingly to save Amy whenever she gets kidnapped by Eggman's robots. The only thing Sonic fears about her is her violent temper, which will result her turning her microphone into a large, deadly hammer, and hit Sonic very harshly.
===Knuckles the Echidna===
Although Sonic and Knuckles are great friends, they are usually at odds, which makes them having trouble getting along with each other. Like Eggman, Knuckles is sometimes teased by Sonic whenever he opposes him. Sonic and Knuckles often get into a violent conflict whenver Eggman has tricked Knuckles into beliving that Sonic was the reason of his misfortunes, but soon stop whenver Knuckles learns that Eggman was in fact lying to him. Knuckles, like Tails, proved to be helpful to Sonic, as Sonic cannot remove large obstacles, but Knuckles can.
===Dr. Eggman===
Sonic and Dr. Eggman have an intense hatred towards each other. Ever since Eggman has committed a genocide against all of the blue hedgehogs, Sonic has seeked to avenge the race by trying to liberate Yeongjeog-in City from Eggman's dictatorship. Eggman also appears to have no qualms in sending Metal Sonic to kill his late father, General Kousaku, which is the reason why Sonic attacked the Eggman Empire and avenge his family. Sonic also enjoys teasing Eggman a lot, like calling him offensive names, such as "Dr. Egghead", "King of Eggheads", and "a giant talking egg", which provokes the latter.
===General Kousaku===
General Kousaku is Sonic's deceased father. As stated by Sonic himself, they never had a close relationship as General Kousaku had abandoned his son to live in a baby farm. The reasons why General Kousaku had sent his son to live in the baby farm because he was busy doing the liberal work with his soldiers and wanted to protect his son from Eggman. So, it is obvious that General Kousaku loves and cares a lot about his son, as he had sent a letter to him inviting him to his secret hideout before he was murdered by Metal Sonic.
