Sally Acorn

Sally Acorn

**Princess Sally Acorn** is one of the main protagonists in the *Sonic: Blue Streak* comic series. She is a mobian squirrel-chipmunk, the younger daughter of King Nigel Acorn and Queen Alicia Acorn, younger sister to Prince Elias Acorn and leader of the Knothole Freedom Fighters.

Sally was born just a few years after her older brother, during the Great War. She was sent to Knothole Village when the infamous Dr. Robotnik took over her home city, Mobotropolis. She, along with her friends, formed the Knothole Freedom Fighters to reclaim the city from the Eggman Empire. When they eventually did, and King Acorn resumed his role as king, Sally and the Freedom Fighters continue to fight the Eggman Empire, plus various other evil.

## Background

Sally is the first daughter to be born into the Acorn family in generations. Her birth was celebrated across the kingdom in spite of the nation being engaged in the Great War at the time. After her mother and brother were lost while on their way to Angel Island, Sally was raised with the belief that she was an only child and that her mother had died before Sally could remember her.

Because of the loss he suffered, King Nigel kept a close eye on Sally as she grew up, afraid he might lose her too. Though she found growing up in the castle to be lonely at times, Sally found solace in a Mobian lynx around her age named Nikki, the daughter of Dr. Ellidy, and the rambunctious Sonic the Hedgehog, the nephew of Charles the Hedgehog, a colleague of Ellidy's and a close friend of Nigel. Though the two were very different from one another, Sally built strong bonds with both Nikki and Sonic, and came to consider them to be her closest friends. She and Sonic once snuck into the kingdom's Chaos Emerald chamber to see the Green Emerald up close, which resulted in Sonic gaining super speed after he touched the Emerald.

Sally took Nikki's death especially hard, and as a way to cope she began sneaking out of the castle to spend time with Sonic. During this time she developed something of a secret identity as "Ricky", a friend of Sonic's from a different school. In time Sally also became acquainted with Sonic's babysitter, Rotor Walrus, who in turn introduced her and Sonic to his roommate Antoine D'Coolette and their mutual friend Bunnie Rabbot.

## Personality

Sally has many traits that make her a natural leader - she is cool headed, mature, down to earth, and forward thinking. Despite the hardships she endured after losing her friend Nikki and her kingdom to Doctor Robotnik, Sally remains a kindhearted and optimistic person, inspiring her friends and people to continue fighting on when the odds seem stacked against them.

Despite being a beautiful young woman, Sally can easily be described as a tomboy. She's not afraid to lead the charge against the Freedom Fighters' enemies, and will passionately stand up for her values when challenged. Her willpower mixed with her strategic intelligence make her the heart of the Freedom Fighters, and has served as an inspiration for other such movements across Mobius.

However, Sally does have her faults - she has a tendency to give far too much of herself to others, and can easily neglect her own needs and wants for the sake of "the big picture". For this reason she has incredibly high standards set for herself, and is prone to bouts of deep depression should she fail to meet her expectations.
