Amy Rose the Hedgehog

**Amy Rose the Hedgehog** (エミー・ローズ・ザ·ヘッジホッグ, *Emī Rōzu za Hejjihoggu*), also formerly known as **Rosy the Rascal** (ロージー・ザ・ラスカル, *Rōjī za Rasukaru*), is a protagonist character of the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series. She is an anthropomorphic hedgehog who has had a major long-standing crush on Sonic the Hedgehog for years. Since meeting Sonic on Little Planet, Amy originally starting out as his self-proclaimed girlfriend and just one of his most devoted young admirers, and has attempted to win his heart by any means, she would mature into one of his most trusted allies and after proving herself during their adventures, she also have sworn to protect the world from the evil scientist, Dr. Eggman and his Eggman Empire. She wields the Piko Piko Hammer, a powerful melee weapon which she uses with skills second to none and never leaves home without.

Amy is a young, carefree, cheerful, though slightly erratic girl, with a positive attitude and boundless energy. However, she has a scary temper and her infatuation with Sonic makes her shortsighted and a bit obsessive about him, having followed him everywhere since meeting him. Nevertheless, she has a pure heart and will not let anything stop her. Her loyalty to her friends and team is without question and her improving skills have assured her importance to the hero's cause. She is also the leader of the occasionally activated Team Rose.

"*There's been lots of times when Sonic did something or didn't do something that made me wonder why I ever liked him. But in the end, he always comes through for all of us, no matter what. He may do crazy and stupid things, stunts ands acts that would make him a complete idiot; but he never does dishonest things in his life. That's why I'll always have faith in him.*"

—Amy Rose the Hedgehog.

## Powers and Abilities

Amy possesses strong leadership and organization capabilities, and is a quick thinker and tactician of a more considerable intelligence. She came up with a plan to bring down Eggman's Big Boy mech while coordinating her team twice, and she was able to calculate how to bring down Tails' house safely from the Rock-cyborg when setting an ambush.

Amy is quite the accomplished decorator with a real feel for color and shape. In addition to setting up atmospheric and detailed lunches, she could spruce up Eggman's lair so well that it was accepted by the highly-standard Modern Lair Magazine after it was unquestionably dismissed. She is also a great cook and can make delicious cookies.

### Archaeological Skills

Amy is also a well-versed history buff who has studied the ancient legends, such as the one about the Babylonians, ancient cultures, ruins, and lore of her mysterious world and has useful knowledge of the ancient areas that she explores with her friends, and is very knowledgeable on the subject, such as when she was able to translate the ancient texts at Gigan Rocks with little or no effort.

### Abilities

#### Physical Abilities

She possess above average physical attributes, making her a powerful figure in her own right. While not strictly superhuman, Amy has high physical strength. She is able to wield her apparently heavy Piko Hammer with little effort, and she can swing it around with enough force to smash clean through metal and send enemies sky rocketing. She even has enough strength to swinging it around so fast that she can even fly like a helicopter rotor or create whirlwinds, and as well generate shock waves or send herself flying by hammering into the ground. On top of that, Amy accidentally hits Knuckles, she sends him flying into a nearby tree without even noticing.

Amy is capable of running at super speeds, which sterns from her practice of chasing after Sonic and her innate hedgehog abilities. While her exact top speed is unclear, she can highly run fast enough to even to even keep Sonic on a constant lookout for her, suggesting Amy has remarkably high running speed. However, Amy has admitted herself that she is not as fast as Sonic.

Amy has a high level of agility and well good acrobatic skills which let her do physical feats that would normally be difficult for someone else, such as being able to handle and swing her large Piko Hammer gracefully and without disturbing her when airborne, performing body flips, perform various forms of movements and tricks when launched into midair, balance perfectly on beams and walk across them, grind on rails with ease, and landing safely from a large fall with fluidity and grace.

### Combat Skills

Amy is a great and tough fighter who knows martial arts to perfection, and combined with her aggressiveness when provoked, she can be a fierce opponent in a confrontation. She is capable of holding and defending herself in battle against, and can go up against powerful robots and even highly trained combatants such as the Nocturnus Clan soldiers and is a heavy-hit combatant whose skills matches Power Type fighters, like Knuckles'.

#### Fighting Style

In battle, she uses her Piko Piko Hammer's size and durability to her advantage, either using it to knock opponents far away through midair or bringing the entirety of its weight down on the opponents, crushing them with devastating force. For more offensive or effective moves, Amy will swirl around with her Piko Piko Hammer, turning herself into a spinning top that mows down everything she touches or even stir up whirlwinds and shock waves to send opponents flying, though such maneuvers can leave her dizzy.

Despite preferring to use her Piko Piko Hammer when fighting enemies, Amy can as well fight opponents hand-to-hand in direct combat, though she rarely resorts to this method. As seen in *Sonic Battle*, when fighting opponents close up, Amy will resort to kickboxing moves, using fast jabs and uppercuts.

#### Techniques and Moves

Amy has one of the widest ranges of moves and techniques in the *Sonic the Hedgehog* series, ranging from techniques involving her Piko Hammer, to the basic Spin Attack maneuvers, to even mimicries of other characters' moves.

Most of Amy's offensive techniques revolves around the variants of her primary technique, the Hammer Attack, a downward swing with her Piko Hammer on opponents. These variants serve to compensate for Amy's lack of superior physical skills and moves. Her Jump Attack lets her swing her Piko Hammer in midair to attack enemies while airborne with increased attack range, and her Spin Hammer Attack and Hammer Whirl lets her spin around with her Piko Hammer to attack with increased attack range. For better movements, Amy can use her Hammer Jump and Mid-Air Hammer Jump techniques to let herself somersault even higher into the air by setting off with her Piko Hammer from where she is positioned, and with her Propeller Hammer she can float through the air like a helicopter for a short time.

Some of Amy's more special moves include her Tornado Hammer where she throws a whirlwind at opponents to blow them off the ground, and the Rose Typhoon where she creates a dome-like shock wave by hammering into the ground.

Amy can also perform the various forms of the Spin Attack, which is a variation on the tendency for hedgehogs to roll into tight balls for protection. The Homing Attack allows Amy to jump and home in on an enemy to get over large gaps she cannot normally reach, the Spin Jump lets her curl into a ball to attack opponent by landing on them, and the Spin Dash lets her shoot herself forward as an acceleration roll at high speeds to break barriers or mow down enemies.

### Miscellaneous Skills

As demonstrated during her searches for Sonic, Amy is able to, through a mix of dowsing and just plain searching, locate the general area of the person that she is looking for, no matter where in the world they are. In fact, at least in Sonic's case, Amy is able to "feel" that the person she is looking has been in a certain location. Amy's tracking skills are further enforced, where Cream told Blaze that Amy was sure to find Sonic for them.

Amy has as well displayed some skills in the mystical field, primarily in reading tarot cards. Using her tarot cards, Amy is able to predict the future and give herself knowledge of future events, such as successfully predicting where Sonic would be, and even curse others.

Amy's positive outlook and attitude gives her the ability to convince even the most cold-hearted and cruel people into giving up on their evil ways through genuinely heart-spoken speeches, as seen in the cases of Shadow the Hedgehog and E-102 Gamma.

Amy has steadily proven herself as so skilled and a very talented Extreme Gear rider. She was able compete against even the world's best Extreme Gear riders in the EX World Grand Prix. While riding on an Extreme Gear, Amy is skillful enough to ride on rails, focus on opponents while remaining in control of her Extreme Gear, and as well pulls off highly advanced tricks and techniques on her Extreme Gear while in midair.

Amy demonstrated the ability to harness chaos energy from the Chaos Emeralds, allowing her to enter the Hyper Mode. Amy also displayed the ability to turn herself invisible for a short time.

#### Color Power

*Main article:* *Color Powers*
By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Amy 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, Amy 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.

### Weapons

#### Piko Piko Hammer

*Main article:* *Piko Hammer*
Amy's primary trademark weapon is the Piko Hammer, a large and durable hammer capable of dealing massive damage with no excessive efforts, that she is able to call out from nowhere at will. It is such a powerful weapon that even powerful figures such as Sonic and Knuckles get afraid when she pulls it out.

Amy wields her hammer to perfection and is highly adapt and knowledgeable in its usage. Being both very powerful, graceful and fluid with it, she can combing its powerful strikes with her own acrobatic skill, thus ensuring no movement with it is wasted.

Amy mainly uses its as a melee weapon and to perform acrobatic stunt, utilizing it as a hook to swing on bars. However, she is also able to use it as a long-range weapon by throwing it as a projectile with efficient accuracy.

Though simple in function, Amy is highly adapt at wielding the Piko Hammer and can use it with incredible proficiency. She mainly uses its as a melee weapon in combat, but can also use it for executing better movement, perform long-ranged attacks, and even mimic the variants of the Spin Attack.
