Xave the Hawk

Xave the Hawk (ザベ の鷹 , Zabe no Taka) is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is an anthropomorphic purple feathered hawk that is a rival turned ally to Stravic the Hedgehog, as well as a friendly rival to Knuckles the Echidna. Xave was born in a town with canyons, but his parents died when he was only a baby, due to them being killed in a terrorist attack by the Toxic Poison Monster. Xave was mainly raised by a group of guardians, but eventually, they died when trying to defeat the Toxic Poison Monster, who was evading their territory. Due to this, Xave had to pretty much spent the rest of his life alone, caring for himself, exploring different lands to find places to live. They were all temporary however, as they weren't stable enough to last long. Xave eventually settled in a bunker, located in a forest near the Central City. Due to not having any currency, Xave would steal many things, and never get caught, as he was very stealthy his whole life. One of these things he stole was a Grappling Hook, which he would use to get places easier and faster. Xave also started to fight villains that would terrorize people, but only fought by his own morals.
Later, Xave started to realize that there were portals that were bringing people to different universes. These portals could be found in forests and jungles. Xave thought this sounded ridiculous, as he didn't believe in it. But when Xave explored a forest to see, he found a portal that led to an alternate universe. Xave was shocked, and fleed quickly, not believing what he just saw.
== Appearance ==
Xave is an anthropomorphic purple feathered hawk. He has orange colored eyes, white fur from his chest to stomach, a yellow beak, a bushy feathery tail, hair that is spiked up, and three spines on his back that curve downwards. He also has black and green color on the edges of his eyes. For attire, Xave wears gray gloves, red and black sneakers, and blue shoe cuffs.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Xave is very strong and is able to do many things with his Grappling Hook. Xave is able to run at moderately fast speeds, and while not as fast as Stravic or Rija, he's still decently fast. He is also able to perform the Spin Dash move. Xave also has moderate strength, similar to Knuckles, while also having his Grappling Hook to reach different areas, or hold onto things quickly. Xave also has his Wingpack, which makes him glide, and this can be useful when used with the Grappling Hook. Xave is also very stealthy, which can be used to bypass guarded areas, or do things without getting caught.
== Weaknesses ==
Despite having many things that make him powerful, Xave still has weaknesses. Xave is not a good swimmer, and can only swim for a short amount of time. Xave also doesn't think about his actions before doing them, as he enjoys to take the risks, no matter how dangerous, which can lead him in bad situations. He also has very low stamina, as he can only run so much before getting tired.
== Personality ==
Just like Stravic and Rija, Xave believes that villains should not be spared, and be finished. She also goes by her own morals and beliefs when it comes to fighting, and not anyone else's. Xave is kind of a lone-wolf, as he does many things by himself, and doesn't normally accept help from anyone. Even though this is, Xave actually enjoys being with others, but doesn't like to show it. Xave also is kind of a daredevil and risk-taker, as he does many things without thinking it through, or if the thing is dangerous. Xave also enjoys dancing to music, mostly Jersey Club and Hip-hop.
== Relationships ==
=== Stravic the Hedgehog ===
Stravic and Xave originally met during the universe quest, and were originally semi rivals, trying to be better than the other. Stravic and Xave formed a brother-like relationship, as they became good friends as time went on, and less of rivals. While Stravic and Xave still have a semi-rivalry, it's more of a friendly one, as they joke around and try to see "who's the best". They also train a lot together, and fight crime along with Rija. Stravic also forces Xave to go to a lot of public places to get Xave out of his comfort zone, as Xave is very introverted. Despite all of this, Xave sometimes gets on Stravic's nerves, as Xave likes to annoy Stravic sometimes to defeat a villain or training dummy.
=== Rija the Cat ===
Rija and Xave originally met during the universe quest, and she had to deal with Stravic and Xave's brief rivalry, until they became great friends, and almost brothers. Rija and Xave don't interact that much, but when they do, they have a brother-sister type relationship. Even though Xave and Rija don't interact much, they give each other good fighting tips, and they help each other if one is hurt. Despite this, Xave enjoys to prank Rija when she isn't expecting it, which causes Rija get annoyed with Xave, and sometimes lash out on him.
=== Knuckles the Echidna ===
Xave and Knuckles originally met during the universe quest, and they became rivals. This was because Xave wanted to prove that he was stronger, and superior to Knuckles, as they are both pretty similar. While Knuckles at first thought the rivalry was confusing, he eventually started to get annoyed with it. Despite this, Xave is actually jealous of Knuckles, as he thinks that Knuckles is cool and tough, but doesn't like to admit it, as he thinks it makes him look "weak". Knuckles thinks Xave is kind of crazy, due to Xave wanting an unwarranted rivalry with Knuckles.
=== Dr. Eggman ===
Xave originally met Eggman when he was working with King Zorder to destroy the two universes. Xave and Eggman rarely interact with each other, however, Eggman was responsible for bringing Xave to Sonic's universe, as Eggman did this so there would be no heroes in Xave's universe. Xave knows not to trust Eggman and stay away from him, as Xave never wants to have anything to do with Eggman, and tends to focus on other villains.
