Amy Rose

Amy Rose is the guardian of the Master Emerald, as well as the powerhouse of Team Hero. Amy was raised in solitude on Angel Island, by Tikal's spirit, and grew up to be the prophecised guardian of the Master Emerald, and currently has a lost sense of identity. She had met Tails at the age of 9, while the latter was 5, through an experiment gone wrong. After getting introduced to Sonic, the three of them have stuck together ever since.

## ***Design***

Amy retains similar attributes to her canon counterpart, aside from her quills and eyes. Instead of having a bobcut, Amy's quills are turned upwards and are described to be very dense; enough to break through rocks and steel, with a pink headband behind her ears.

Amy's eyes were made blue by Dizzpacito because Amy lives on Angel Island, that is high in the sky. This was a design choice to symbolize her connection to the island's location and her birthplace.

Her clothes are inspired by Tikal's, a tanktop garment with white sleeves and green leaf-like shoulder pads. A blue semi-circle is painted on the centre of the tanktop. Amy keeps her pearly white gloves with golden wrist rings, and these rings also get carried onto her ankles. Her shoes are shaped similar to Canon!Knuckles', but instead of being red, yellow, green and grey; Amy's shoes are pink, yellow, brown and white.

A piece of fabric which seems like a cape rests on Amy's hips. While many may have mistaken it as a cape on first glances, it is actually a traditional skirt. She keeps the sides joined together so they do not get in the way. This skirt retains the same colour pallete as the rest of her attire; pink, yellow, blue, green and white.

## ***Personality***

Amy's personality is extremely similar to Canon!Knuckles. She is a very serious and very focused individual, who has her priorities set stright. Amy isn't quick to trust others, and has a short temper; keeping her always on edge. She is also very headstrong.

But underneath all of that, Amy was the prophecised guardian of the Master Emerald, and the prophecy read spoke of the Emerald being under the protection of "a rose with gentle thorns".

## ***Abilities***

Amy is an incredibly strong hedgehog, physically strong, and have deceived many due to her being a female in appearance. While she may be strong, Amy's stamia runs out fast; her strengths only come in short, but large bursts. And as mentioned, Amy's quills are extremely dense and have the ability to break through rocks and steel with ease, making her spindashes incredibly powerful.

Amy also doesn't get sleepy easily, as during her training days to be the Emerald's guradian, she had trained her body to be awake during long periods of time.

## ***Biography***

### ***Early Life***

Amy was born into a purebreed species of hedgehogs, on Angel Island. This species of hedgehog had went extinct a long time ago, with the only surviving individuals descending from Pachacamac's clan. The characteristic that differentiates this species from other mixed-breeds are their quills; abnormally long, crooked quills and great physical strength.

Before her birth, Tikal had left a prophecy that the Master Emerald would be under the high protection of "a rose with gentle thorns".

Sometime after her birth, her parents either passed away or had left her on the island, and Amy was raised by Tikal's spirit in isolation. When she was old enough to fend for herself the spirit had hid away, only to be called upon during times of crisis for the Emerald. In result of this, Amy eventually grew to forget Tikal's spirit ever existed.

As she grew, Chao and other local critters would often be a source of companionship for Amy, until she had met Tails and Sonic when she was 9-years old.

## ***Trivia***

* The headband she wears keeps her quills upright. If she removes it then her quills kinda. Flop over her face.
* She's allergic to most flowers.
* Tails often visits because of his easy access to Angel Island (it's a floating island in the middle of the sky). He sometimes tags along with other people, but people are heavy to carry so he doesn't like doing it too often.
* She can fluently understand and speak Chao language,
* The creator strongly associate her with wild west stuff. Old-school spaghetti western movies.
* Amy was very confused upon meeting Sonic, Shadow and Silver for the first time. Due to her undereducation, she was unaware of other hedgehogs still alive.
* Amy had called Shadow "Pinky" and "Cupid". This typically occurs when the older hedgehog attempts to steal the Master Emerald.
* Amy can't use a super form BUT she has a hyper form instead. This form results from her connection to the Master Emerald topped with her overwhelming strength.
* When asked if the Darkswap cast would join the Olympics; Amy was featured in karate, however, violently punching Waluigi as a judge frankly tries to tell Amy that the match had ended.
* In response to an anonymous user's question; the creator says that Amy's music tastes are hip hop, country and reggae.
