Recol the Recolour

Recol, alternatively known by Recol the Hedgehog, Recol the Recolour and originally Recol (Bazinga) the Hedgehog is one of the characters of all time, more specifically one created for Season 1 of Bux. She is an anthropomorphic hedgehog, and a recolour of Amy Rose. Her name is a pun on the word "recolour". Her name has no exact pronunciation but typically re-coal or re-cull is used.
- Recol's theme from the Bux OST, "Now hug."
== General Information ==
=== Appearance ===
Recol is a female anthropomorphic hedgehog. She has a red and white colour scheme because at the time of her creation Point36 really liked that colour combination for a now forgotten reason. She was originally created with SRB2's "Quail" colour in mind, but 90% of the time her quills are coloured with a solid shade of caramel/apricot. She has dark red eyes. She wears a white collared shirt, small white gloves, a red skirt and black boots with red laces.
She wears a white string necklace with a gemstone attached to its end. Unbeknownst to her, this is actually a shard of the Phantom Ruby, which was lost following the events of Sonic Mania Plus. The shard has no power by itself, but perhaps if its pieces were to be reassembled it could be restored...
=== Personality ===
She is a carefree, polite (usually), optimistic and cheerful person. Like all hedgehog girls on planet Morbius, she idolises Metal Sonic and wishes to one day join him on one of his monthly world tours. She also went to one of his music concerts alongside Chekawa. She participates in the Scheduled Biannual Bux Adventure™ (aka BuddyEx.wad stream) with the Bux Crew since it's close enough to Metal Sonic's tours.
She insists she's a quiet person, which is false information. Recol enjoys talking about her favourite video games to her friends, including but not limited to:
* Kirby, Mario and other casual 2D platformers
* Mario Party 6 (only 6, she dislikes most of the others)
* Touhou Project (not Len'en because Len'en exists in the Bux universe)
* Basically anything Point36 plays, she's a self-insert and likes the same stuff
=== Abilities ===
Recol loves to craft wacky and goofy things out of basic crayons. Her most notable and infamous example is stuffing gunpowder in them to create makeshift pipebombs. She has previously used these recklessly and dangerously, but almost never uses them at present. Recol considers herself a professional shitposter on vidya message boards, and says the start of her career was convincing at least 2 people that Luigi Mario was an unlockable playable character in Sin and Punishment for the Nintendo 64.
== Background ==
Recol always lived a positive life. She had everything to be content with and nothing to grieve, as her parents never told her about Forge after his disappearance. At around the age of 14, Recol decided to move out and dedicate her life training for a potential encounter with Metal Sonic. However, her plans changed... it's unsure how Recol joined the Bux Crew, and it's unlikely that even she remembers. But what's more important to her than knowing how she got there... is being happy with where she is.
== Relationships ==
====== Metal Sonic ======
Recol is, like many, a huge fan of Metal Sonic. She attends every one of his concerts that are local to her, and she dreams of racing him across Mobius one day.
====== Forge ======
Forge is Recol's older brother. Forge was separated from his family when he was 8 years old following a nasty pipe bomb incident caused by Recol. Recol was a stupid idiot child, and hadn't developed her internal cognitive functions yet, so she has no memory of anything before then. She has no idea who Forge is, but if she was to meet him, she'd probably just think he was her doppelganger rival who she would be destined to duel to fulfill some sort of prophecy.
====== Yan ======
Recol is one of the few people in existence who does not find Yan to be annoying, not even slightly. The two bond over rambling about Nintendo games.
====== The Bux Crew ======
She is on good terms with the rest of the Bux Crew. She does not get along perfectly with Metal Yan and Curls as she thinks they irritate Yan too frequently, though she remains being polite to them. Despite disliking edginess, she is very good friends with Chekawa and finds him amusing.
== Notable Appearances ==
=== The Bux Mod (FNF) ===
Recol is one of the 3 main playable characters in the Bux mod for Friday Night Funkin'. Her week has the songs Geometricol (vs. T-Man), Shotgun Gambit (vs. Ruby) and Pity Trial (Vs. Yan). For the most part, her week occurs later than Yan's and Chekawa's, with Pity Trial being the final purely Bux-related song in the timeline, until the final week eventually gets released.

== Trivia ==
* Recol owns several dozen unopened boxes of Metal Sonic's Virgin Tears - the Metal Sonic™ branded cereal.
* She has eaten a sawblade before.
* "Recol would be the one to scold Curls for doing something atypical and dangerous during the road trip but then does the exact same thing 2 minutes later".
* Her least favourite act from Sonic Robo Blast 2 is Halloween Heights Zone.
* If Recol was made today, her colour palette would likely be primarily green and red.
