### Portrayers

Unknown

**Rouge the Bat**, is both a fictional character and deuteragonist from the *SKB's* *SP* series created by Yuji and Ken. She is an anthropomorphic bat, and world-famous freelance treasure hunter.

She is a U.F. secret agent working as a part-government spy for the President, and G.U.N. agent on loan. She is also part of Team Dark and serves as her team's intelligence. As a secret spy, she's trained in combat, stealth and infiltration.

She is smart, sassy and seductive, and knows how to get what she wants. As a jewel thief, she has an obsessed weakness for jewels, like the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds. Once she has a target in mind, she always goes for it, regardless of the costs.

Beneath her ditsy exterior though, she is a calculating realist and her motives are always mercenary in nature. Regardless, she is loyal to her closest friends and has more than once helped Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies save the world.

"*I despise anyone who takes jewels from me... All the world's gems are mine to keep!*"

—Rouge the Bat.

## Personality

Rouge is an enigma whose voluptuous and daring attitude turns any man's head. Her policy though is that duty comes first, but she has a big interest in jewels. Her figure, speech and behavior masks her true identity. She is very secretive about everything and very little has actually ever been disclosed about her. She would often switch sides with either the good or bad to confuse them.

Smart, confident, sassy and fearless, Rouge knows how to get what she wants. While she might appear to be ditsy and carefree at first glance, her mind is always active scheming. A calculating realist, she acts mainly on her mercenary instincts. Because her motivations do not always appear as what they seem at first, Rouge can come off as somewhat enigmatic.

Rouge is an ideal spy, able to be cunning, manipulative, deceitful, strategic, observational and tactful at the drop of a hat, such as when she delayed Shadow from finding Eggman and tipped off the Chaotix to Eggman's location, all to bring in Sonic to reign in Shadow and keep the situation from getting too violent. This suggests a more compassionate side to her as well, or at least that she is not narrow-sighted or willing to act without a full story.

She has shown this side of her before and will not hesitate to protect those in need. However, she would not consider herself as a self-sacrificing type of person. Between Shadow and Rouge, the latter is by far the more reasonable of the pair and she knows it, willing to hear someone out instead of rushing into violence, though she is hardly one to ignore obvious red flags.

She is also quite compassionate Rouge has a sense of humor, often at the expense of teasing her friends, and a disarmingly flirtatious nature.

## Powers and Abilities

Rouge is one of the strongest female characters in the series. Swift and powerful, she has proved herself to be a force to be reckoned with in terms of physical abilities, having defeated several powerful foes on her own.

Rouge has significant amount of raw strength, especially the lower parts of body. Her kicking power has several times been able to match Knuckles' punches, though she at times struggles against some foes such as the Metarex. With her legs, Rouge can break up virtually anything, defeating a R-1/A Flying Dog with one strike, and destroy large parts of titanic robots. Her arms are fairly strong as well as she can carry the Master Emerald in both hands. By utilizing her wings, Rouge is as well capable of flight.

Rouge is a trained thief and a master of stealth. She has several times been able to follow Sonic without being noticed, snug unnoticed inside the Crimson Egg, and could lead a squadron of soldiers through Eggman's base without detection. Rouge is also very proficient in martial arts, enough to go up against Knuckles the Echidna hand-to-hand, and Amy Rose with her Piko-Piko Hammer. She is also a renowned professional treasure hunter around the world.

Rouge has demonstrated proficient computer hacking skills as she was able to get access to the data on the Space Colony ARK. Rouge is also, like all the characters, able to survive the vacuum of space without oxygen and piloting her own spaceship.

### Physical Abilities

Rouge possesses enormous physical strength that rivals that of Knuckles'. However, whereas Knuckles' strength lies in his upper body, Rouge's lies in her lower body, particularly in her legs and feet, giving her enormous kicking power. With her kicks, she can shatter boulders, slice through metal, or even leave dents in thick steel walls. She can even split her opponents in half with precise kicks and create small earthquakes to trip opponents by striking the ground.

With her wings, Rouge is able to achieve flight and can glide by using her wings to manipulate her descend. When flying, Rouge can move as fast as Knuckles' gliding, but not as fast as Sonic or Shadow can run. Nevertheless, Rouge possesses an innate quickness, making her fast on her feet and can reach super speeds when running, though she is still not as fast as Sonic, or Shadow.

Rouge has proven herself to be quite acrobatic, precise and agile, on both the ground and in midair due to her government training. She is able to perform all kinds of actions and movements while in midair effortlessly, grind on rails and as well perform several types of nimble movements in combat with incredible precision.

Much like Knuckles, Rouge is an expert climber and can climb on any kind of surface, no matter the material. She is also excellent at digging and tunneling through subterranean regions. She is also a very experienced swimmer, possibly due to her being a treasure hunter, enabling her to swim with both great speed and skill, and can reach amazing depths.

### Stealth and infiltration expertise

As both a government spy and self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Thief", Rouge has been trained in infiltration and is skilled in the art of stealth. As most times, she uses these skills to pull different kinds of successful heists, and has proven herself as a master thief.

As a result of her training, Rouge can surreptitiously enter enemy-held territory, either through stealth or by manipulation of others, such as when she tricked Shadow and Dr. Eggman into believing that she was willing to help them when she was send to investigate the doctor, and can hack computers and break codes in record time with successful results nearly every time. She is also stealthy enough to move nearly undetected through even the most fortified of locations, such as Prison Island, Dr. Eggman's various bases or Space Colony ARK and sneak up on people without bringing attention to herself.

### Combat Skills

A part-time government spy and expert thief, Rouge is one of the strongest female characters in the series. Swift and powerful, she has been recognized as a force to be reckoned by both allies and foes alike. She is well-versed in a variety of martial arts and has gone through several forms of special training in self-defense. Her skills in combat are so great that she was able to fight the combat-versed Knuckles the Echidna to a stalemate when confronting him on Space Colony ARK.

### Fighting Style

#### Techniques and Moves

Most of Rouge's standard moves and techniques revolves around her Kick Attack move where she attacks her opponents with combos composed of kicks. Her special attack Screw Kick enables her to form a "screw" shape into midair while kicking, while her Drill Drive lets her send herself downward, with her feet first, as a spinning drill that pierces through her opponents. Also, her Hip Drop lets her drop onto the ground to form wide tremors that effects everything within its range.

When not attacking her opponents directly, Rouge has also been known to use techniques that involves some form of weapon. She used Dummy Rings in her "Dummy Ring Bomb" move to paralyze opponents, and she used her "Bomb" and "Bomb Snipe" techniques with her Heart Bombs to damage her opponents.

### Miscellaneous Skills

Like real-life bats, Rouge has an excellent and sensitive sense of hearing, even allowing her to hear Espio, who is known as an expert ninja and a master of stealth, when he is in her proximity. Also, as hinted by her move Shriek and some of her moves, Rouge can create ultrasonic shrieks for both attacking or disorientating her opponents.

Rouge is one of the world's most foremost treasure hunters, as seen during her hunts for the Emerald Shards and the Chaos Emeralds, and her skills on the subject rivals even that of Knuckles'. Rouge has also proven herself as very talented Extreme Gear rider as seen where she is able to go toe-to-toe with some of the best Extreme Gear riders in the world.

While in midair, she is capable of doing several acrobatic tricks with her Extreme Gear and can as well dash through midair with her Extreme Gear with her wings to pass through shortcuts through the tracks. As seen during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, Rouge also has excellent skills when it comes to driving and racing in racecars like the Lip Spyder.

### Transformations

#### Color Powers

*Main article:* *Color Powers*
By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Rouge can use specific Color Powers to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser or even a planet, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Rouge has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.

### Weaknesses

* **Sound Sensitivity**: Being a bat, Rouge's hearing is much more sensitive than the average human. As such, she can be disabled by extremely loud sound waves.

* **Arrogance**: While not having any physical weaknesses, Rouge has a stubborn attitude that, along with her greed for gems, has put her in mortal dangers.

* **Carelessness**: Her arguing with Knuckles over the ownership of the Master Emerald nearly made her fall into a lava pool had he not come to her rescue.

* **Faulted Flaws**: Also, her spy skills are not flawless either, as she was discovered by Flying Dog while robbing Prison Island and got imprisoned by Dr. Eggman when she stole the Scepter of Darkness (although she eventually broke herself out in the latter case).

### Equipment

Rouge has her Treasure Scope, binoculars, and a laser weapon that she uses for her thieving heists. When not relying on her combat skills, Rouge carries around personalized gadgetry such as heart-emblazoned bombs powerful enough to blow a regular Badnik to bits.
