Luke Periwinkle (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Luke Periwinkle is a character that appears in the AngieYaz/RoseOfSharon reboot of the Sonic Underground television series. He is a Hedgehog and was a famous actor who starred in several movies, although his acting was frequently over the top. Sonia was a fan when she was younger.
Like in the original cartoon, Maurice LaMarche provides the voice of Luke Periwinkle.
==Appearance==
Luke Periwinkle is a tall, slim, and muscular light blue-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog with blue hair, tan muzzle, tan skin on the front of the neck, and inner ears, a dark brown nose, six quills, two long spikes protruding from the back, and a short pointy tail. For attire, Luke wears wears a red elbow-length tunic where the strip overlaps between two purple triangles, a dark red cape fastened by the neck, orange pants, and burgundy shoes with yellow buttons near the heel. It is unknown where he retrieved this outfit, or whether or not it is merely a costume. While posing as the triplets' uncle, Luke also wore a dark blue helmet that curves towards the back but also covers the upper part of his face while having two holes that provide vision.
==History==
Doctor Robotnik used Luke Periwinkle in a plan to split up the Sonic Underground, threatening to roboticize him if he did not pretend to be the twin brother of Queen Aleena (her actual brother being Sir Charles Hedgehog), and thus the uncle of the Sonic Underground triplets. Robotnik also put him in an iron mask (actually a surveillance camera) and locked him in a tower, where he was soon rescued by the three. To prepare for his role, Perwinkle did extensive research on the House of Hedgehog-Celeritas. In order to drive a wedge between the hedgehog siblings, Periwinkle (rightfully) claimed that by law and custom of primogeniture planet Mobius could only have one ruler and consort, and that he had been exiled and imprisoned when King Jules and Queen Aleena took the throne upon their marriage. He then gave the triplets three rings—one was the true royal signet and the other two were forgeries created by a metalsmith and jeweler on Robotnik's orders. The true signet was taken from the Jewel House of the Royal Hedgehog Palace. This led to the band arguing about which of them would eventually ascend into power (even though that primogeniture means that the firstborn in the array will sit upon the throne and rule the planet).
As the group called it quits, Periwinkle helped Dingo capture the three of them. Only Sonic became suspicious of his story and nearly escaped (despite his signet ring being the real one, the symbol of his regal and lawful rights as King), until Robotnik ordered Periwinkle to knock Sonic out himself. However, once Robotnik has captured the hedgehog triplets and locked them up, he imprisoned Luke Periwinkle as well as he was no longer useful to him. Sonia finally recognized him as an actor and he explained the whole story.
They were soon able to escape by means of the iron mask, which had been booby-trapped by Robotnik and they used to blow up the door. Periwinkle decided to give up acting and join the resistance. The three then dropped him off in the main base at Robotropolis.
==Trivia==
*Luke Periwinkle's name is a reference to the actor Luke Perry.
*The word periwinkle refers to a shade of blue.
*Periwinkle's false claim that he is Aleena's twin brother is a reference to The Man in the Iron Mask by Alexandre Dumas, in which the twin brother of Louis XIV of France is locked up and forced to wear an iron mask so that nobody can recognize him and he is not a threat to the throne.
*Unlike the original timeline version of the character, Luke's statement that there could be only one ruler and consort of Mobius is the truth.
*Unlike Jules, Aleena and the triplets, Luke appears to be a long-eared hedgehog rather than an African pygmy hedgehog or a European hedgehog.
