Sonic the Hedgehog

"Heh, nice meme!"

**Sonic the Hedgehog** is the main protagonist of the **Sonic the Hedgehog** series.

## Canon

Sonic is the titular protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog games. He has appeared in over one hundred games, and the series is still ongoing to this day.

In the games themselves, Sonic is a laid back and fun loving hedgehog who regularly stops the nefarious Doctor Eggman and any other enemies who threaten the world he has sworn to protect.

## Pre-Paradise

Before the events of Multiverse Paradise, Sonic had been performing his usual freedom fighting duties. Stopping Eggman, freeing woodland critters from robots... you know the drill. He'd stopped under a tree for a quick nap, only to find himself in the Paradise Hotel upon awakening.

## Plot Involvement

Thus far, Sonic's plot involvement has been pretty inconsequential. Upon waking up, he encountered his long-standing rival Shadow, and the two decided to investigate what was going on together after realizing that this probably wasn't Doctor Eggman's doing. After meeting some people on the roof, Sonic himself decided to investigate the newly opened mall, which is when he found himself in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Parlor. He sat down and grabbed a slice, which is when he met the detective duo, Sam and Max.

They had a nice conversation, but in the middle of it, Sonic was contacted by both Shadow and the newly discovered Emerl. Subsequently, he found out that several of his other friends were also here, and as such made a group chat for all of them. As of now, Sonic and friends trying to find the Chaos Emeralds after realizing that they're somewhere on the island. The sudden appearance of Angel Island (an island from Sonic's own world) has only raised their suspicion tenfold, and as such that's where they decided to take their investigation next.

## Character Relationships

* *Knuckles the Echidna -* Another character from the **Sonic the Hedgehog** Series. Knuckles was once Sonic's rival a long time ago, after being tricked by Doctor Eggman. However, he soon realized the error of his ways, and has since become one of Sonic's best friends and greatest allies. He's someone who Sonic both respects as an ally and the Guardian of the Master Emerald - and sees as a true friend.
* *Shadow the Hedgehog* - An antagonist turned protagonist from **Sonic the Hedgehog.** Much like Knuckles, Shadow was once an enemy of Sonic, a long time ago. And similar to the echidna, he too had turned to the side of good by the end of his debut game. Although Sonic and Shadow's rivalry still stands, it's certainly more so a friendly rivalry than anything else, and Sonic considers Shadow to be a good friend.
* *Silver the Hedgehog* - Yet another character from **Sonic the Hedgehog.** Like the previous two, Silver is yet another character who could have been considered to be Sonic's rival at first - however, this was due to a simple misunderstanding. Soon enough, Silver realized that Sonic was not a villain, but rather an ally - and the two have been both friends and allies since.
* *Cream the Rabbit -* Another character from **Sonic the Hedgehog.** Despite her innocence and young age, Sonic respects Cream as a friend and an ally, just like he does all his other friends. He still feels an inherent sense to protect her, but he still sees her as a good and invaluable friend.
* *Emerl the Gizoid -* Another character from **Sonic the Hedgehog.** Emerl is an ally that Sonic remembers blowing up many years ago, so his presence on the island has perplexed and confused him. However, this is only slightly, as Sonic isn't really one to question things too deeply. He's just happy to see his friend again.
* *Blaze the Cat -* Another character from **Sonic the Hedgehog**. Although the two didn't get along too well at first due to Blaze's closed off nature, Sonic (along with Tails and Cream) soon helped Blaze open up and the two became friends soon after, teaming up to defeat Blaze's version of Eggman. The two have been good friends and allies since.
* *Sam and Max -* The titular protagonists of the **Sam and Max** series. Sonic had a conversation with the detective duo over a slice of pizza, enjoying their respective personalities and the way that they bounced off of each other. Although they didn't talk for very long, Sonic considers them good acquaintances and wouldn't mind chatting with them again some time - or even working alongside them at some point.

## Trivia

* Sonic wasn't the original idea for the main character of the series. In fact, SEGA went through several redesigns including an armadillo, a flying squirrel, a rabbit, and even Dr. Eggman at one point before finally deciding on a character named Mister Needlemouse, who was soon renamed into Sonic the Hedgehog.
