Bolt the Porcupine

Bolterson the Porcupine is an anthropomorphic porcupine and a recurring character in the Sonic series. He is a 15 year old porcupine, a good friend of Sonic's, and the power member of Team Rose, which is odd, since he is a speed type character.
==Appearence==
Bolt was originally based off a character named Propane the Hedgehog. He originally was an orange hedgehog with teal shoes. He also had a red circle on the outsides of either shoe.
Later on, his appearance changed minorly. He was still orange, but his name changed to Bolt the Porcupine, due to the fact he had more spikes. He also had lime colored eyes, black, ripped gloves, and his shoes were all aqua, not counting the white stripe.
And his current appearance, first used in Sonic World Comix, he became light orange, has more spikes, freckles, the cuffs of his gloves are leather, and he also has a lightning bolt-shaped tail. But his most noticeable feature are his brand new boots. They are white boots with grey rings at the top. A grey stripe comes down from the rings and becomes circular at the front. In the circle of grey, there are blue gems embeded. His boots also have a grey line at the bottom and black soles.
==History==
Bolt was born on Christmas Island, like Sonic, by the name of Bolterson. When he was 7, he started to develope great speed, and had a baby sister named Sheena. By age 9 he could run 190 mph. At age 10, he developed an unusual power, electricity. He used these powers for good, for 5 years, at least.
When he was 15, he met Dr. Eggman and was bribed into helping him defeat Sonic, only, Sonic defeated him and continued through his journey. He later found out he was betrayed and helped Sonic to defeat Eggman.
A while later, he joined the hedgehog on an adventure to Blaze's Dimension to help defeat the evil threat, Tea the Echidna.
He has also been confirmed to join a World Grand Prix with Sonic as part of Team Rose, with Amy and Cream.
==Personality==
Bolt is often considered to be one of the most couragous and adventurous characters in the Sonic series. In the comics, he always tries to go on adventures alone, but always ends up getting in trouble and having to have Sonic rescue him. This is proven by the fact he will be adventuring alone in his upcoming "Bolt Quest" arc in Sonic World Comix. He is also quite hot-headed as he gets angered easily. He loves to bash things and run with Sonic at high speeds. Je also likes to swim, unlike Sonic. He is also depicted as having an "electric personality".

====SegaSonic the Hedgehog 2====
In his first appearance, Bolt worked for Doctor Eggman and was the boss of World 5. He was tricked by Eggman into trying to stop Sonic, like Knuckles in Sonic 3. But, of course, Sonic beat him and moved on. His special abbilities were Spin Dashing at Sonic, Ray, or Mighty, and throwing jolts of electricity at them. In the final battle, the character chosen and Bolt both battle Eggman Mega and defeat him. It turned out Eggman told him Sonic was a villain and was collecting the Chaos Emeralds to destroy the world. Bolt was confused because Sonic was his hero, but in order to save his world, he had to defeat Sonic.

Bolt makes a cunning reappearance in Sonic Rush 3. In this game, he follows Sonic and Tails through a strange portal that takes him to a strange world. He later finds out this is Blaze's Dimension. He joins up with Sonic shortly after being encountered by Bean the Dynamite. He continues to help Sonic, Tails, Blaze, and Aqua throughout their adventures. When the heroes are faced against Venice the Mink, he volunteers to help Sonic defeat him.
