Amy Rose (WI04)

## Amy Rose

**Amy Rose** is a supporting character in *What If E-102 Gamma Survived?*, playing a key role in helping Gamma set the foundation upon which his new mission - 'return home' - would be founded. She is a sort of moral mentor to Gamma, having spent time teaching him compassion, reminding him of his worth and not letting anyone take advantage of him as a weapon. Besides Aya and the Flickies, she is likely the closest friend Gamma has.

## Personality

*WI04*'s Amy has an identical personality to her video game canon counterpart, with a particular focus given to her compassion through her close relationship with Gamma. She is kind, expressive and is willing to dedicate her time and effort to helping those in need.

## History

### Past

Amy's history up until her first appearance is identical to that of the games, with key details being her companionship with the blue Flicky, her role in helping Gamma take the first steps towards his independence and becoming the target of ZERO, who incessantly hounded her across Station Square and beyond as part of it's mission to retrieve the blue Flicky and it's locket.

### Sonic Adventure Arc

#### Amy/Gamma's Story

Amy first appeared in Part 1, in which she visited the crashed Egg Carrier to help find the blue Flicky's family. Due to the ship's more violent crash altering the timeframe of E-102 Gamma and E-101 Beta's duel, she arrived right in the midst of the two robots battling and hid to watch them from a distance, After the fight concluded, the white Flicky was released from Beta's destroyed shell, allowing Amy's blue Flicky companion to reunite with it, as well as the pink Flicky inside of Gamma. Before the reunion could properly take place, however, ZERO arrived on the scene, having never stopped chasing Amy even into the vast ocean. Before Amy could fight it, however, Gamma obliterated ZERO with a single shot from his Laser Blaster.

Once the dust had settled, Gamma explained to Amy that he would attempt self-termination as he had done before her arrival, which caused Amy to become upset. In the end, Gamma was unable to self-terminate due to the critical injuries Ko had sustained, leaving him in a situation where his sworn mission could not be completed. Amy readily offered her help, gathering up the remains of Beta and telling Gamma to come with her so that they could get help from Tails. On the boat ride back to Station Square, the two of them finally exchanged names, cementing their friendship.

#### Last Story

Amy and Gamma found Tails with Sonic in the Mystic Ruins, having just defeated Doctor Eggman. The two of them were initially wary of Gamma, but Amy insisted upon his trustworthiness, which was good enough for them. The group minus Sonic went to Tails' nearby lab, where work began on analyzing Gamma's internal structure to see what could be done about the situation with Ko.

Over the next day, Amy spent her time at Tails' lab, so the three of them were together when Angel Island fell once more. Meeting up with Sonic, Amy saw Knuckles and Doctor Eggman lying beaten in front of the Master Emerald shrine, where they revealed that Chaos was still alive and was now working alone. Eggman tried to force Gamma to rejoin with him, but Amy stood firmly between the two of them alongside Sonic and Tails, showing their solidarity to protect their new friend.

The remainder of *Sonic Adventure*'s Last Story was mostly skipped over, with Amy fulfilling her same role as in the original video game canon. She was present for the final battle against Perfect Chaos, though this time was accompanied by Gamma rather than the pink Flicky.

#### Epilogue

Several days passed with Amy, Tails and Gamma spending time together in Tails' lab, with Amy taking Gamma around Station Square to teach him what it meant to be 'good' and do good deeds. Gamma's mind had been clouded from the lack of resolution to Ko's condition, so Amy took him on a stroll down a secluded beach somewhere in the Mystic Ruins region to help him relax, in which they spoke about the nature of Gamma's mission. Amy interpreted that, since Gamma's continued functioning was allowing him to act as a life support for Ko, his mission to 'save' her was a success so long as he was alive, meaning both of them were 'free'. Having not had the chance to do so earlier, she showed Gamma the photo inside of Mi's locket depicting the three Flicky siblings, so that he could know what the bird inside him looked like. This triggered another mysterious phenomenon within Gamma such as the one that had initially granted him independence in *Sonic Adventure*, revealing to him that Ko, Mi and Fu had an owner.

The remainder of the trio's time together consisted of Gamma informing Tails of his decision, and him putting together a series of upgrades constituting Gamma's transformation into Gamma Mk.II. As he prepared to leave, a news broadcast claiming Sonic's arrest at the hands of G.U.N was seen on a nearby television, shocking Amy - who believed that there had to be some kind of mistake. She was immediately ready to head off on her own mission with Tails to catch up to him, but took the time to forbid Gamma from joining them despite Tails protesting that they could use his help. Amy insisted that Gamma had to focus on his own mission, that he wasn't a weapon to be used by them and that she and Tails could handle whatever was going on with Sonic by themselves. With one last goodbye, she parted ways with Gamma and left for Prison Island.

## Powers and abilities

Amy has identical abilities as her video game counterpart circa-*Sonic Adventure* *2*, though she has never actually been seen fighting. In some images during the *Sonic Adventure* adaptation, she was seen wearing the Warrior Feather, though she has likely taken it off as per the original timeline.

## Relationships

### E-102 Gamma

> *"Everyone in life has to find their own purpose. No-one can do that for you."* ~ Amy Rose, Part 1
>
>

Amy was there to witness Gamma's first steps towards independence, continuing to support him as he progressed down his own path all the way until they went their separate ways. Defending him, encouraging him, spending time with him and doing all she could to convince him to keep going, Amy cares deeply for Gamma's wellbeing and has been in his corner from the very start, even to the point of standing against Sonic.

### Miles "Tails" Prower

Compared to the original video game continuity, Tails and Amy spent much more time together during the latter parts of *Sonic Adventure*. Amy frequently visited his lab to see Gamma, and the two set off as a pair to find Sonic after he had been arrested, compared to the original *Sonic Adventure 2* in which they both travelled to Prison Island separately.
