**Needlemouse** *(also known as **Sarah** and sometimes stylized as Needlem0use)* is the main antagonist of the Needlem0use series.

## Biography

### Alive

Little is currently known about Sarah while she was alive. In *Needlem0use*, she explains to Luther that she misses her mom, her dad, and "Lily". It would later be revealed that Lily was Sarah's girlfriend, but how they met is unknown.

The same could be said for Sarah's friends- Luther, Martin, and Michael. This little friend group was named "The Fun Gang", and Sarah was assumedly close with all of her friends; especially Luther.

A flashback in *SpeedDuo64 Presents:* shows Sarah entrusting Luther to come with her and Lily to a house party, fearing what people would do if they found out Sarah and Lily were together. Luther agrees, with the two telling each other "together forever."

### Death

In *finAle*, Luther explains that Sarah and the rest of the Fun Gang had gotten into an argument with each other at a house party in a drunken stupor.

After the argument had somewhat subsided, an unknown person had murdered Sarah as a result of the aforementioned argument. Luther, Michael, and Martin- drunk, panicked and not knowing what to do- decided to cover up the murder. They resolved that if they told police, they would be interrogated and suspected of committing the crime.

They buried Sarah's body themselves, resulting in Sarah being listed as a missing person.

### As Needlemouse

The rage inside of Sarah after being killed would grow inside of her grave to unhealthy amounts, turning her into a vengeful spirit who's mind was broken to the point she desired to kill her friends. Years later, a SEGA building was built atop of her body, allowing her to possess a *Sonic the Hedgehog* game.

She would take the form of Sonic the Hedgehog, albeit with a few major differences. She would then seek out her friends, picking them off one by one. She kills Michael in *G0t Y0u* and kills Martin and Luther in *finAle*. They are then roped into her personal hell, being placed in the vessels of Knuckles, Robotnik, and Tails respectively. She is known to torture her friends even inside this warped dimension, both mentally and physically.

In Season 2, as Luther becomes more and more defiant, she exclaims in *SpeedDuo64 Presents:* that Luther is no longer on her radar- Tom is.

## Appearance

As Sarah, she has curly black shoulder-length hair and glowing pink eyes. The top half of her eyes are hidden under her bangs, and she notably has no nose. She is always seen wearing a purple and pink striped, long-sleeve shirt with a brown belt and blue baggy pants. She has no shoes on, leaving her in white and black socks. She is 5'7" in this form.

As Needlemouse, her appearance takes after Sonic the Hedgehog. Needlemouse's colors have been shown to fluctuate- especially in regards to her gloves and shoes. Her quills droop downwards, being colored purple instead of Sonic's blue. Her torso, snout, and arms are colored white, as well as her socks. She has simple horizontal eyes that occasionally look different ways, as well as red dots flashing within them. She wears yellow gloves and red-and-yellow shoes. She is 3'3" in this form.

## Relationships

### Luther

Sarah and Luther had been shown to have a tight-knit friendship with each other while Sarah was alive.
Sarah had given relationship advice to Luther and asked him to come along with her and Lily to a house party, to which Luther accepted without hesitation. The phrase "together forever" seems to have been used between the two frequently, as shown in *finAle* and *SpeedDuo64 Presents:*.

After Sarah's death, however, these friendly feelings between Sarah and Luther would grow into resentment as Sarah had tracked down Luther as Needlemouse. Sarah would mentally torture Luther, frequently warning him and telling him he couldn't get away from her.

Eventually, Sarah ends up killing Luther and dragging him into her personal hell along with the rest of the Gang. She places him in the vessel of Tails. In *SpeedDuo64 Presents: Genesis Sonic Comp Beta!!1!* there are hints of Luther conspiring against Sarah. In *SpeedDuo64 Presents:*, this culminates in his desire to reach Tom and potentially getting him to end their suffering once and for all. In response, Sarah grabs Luther by the throat and throws him, later telling Luther that she now has her sights set on Tom.

### Michael and Martin

Not much is known about Sarah's relationship with Michael and Martin in particular.

In Sarah's personal hell, she takes delight in torturing them both mentally and psychologically, as she heavily criticizes Michael's pleas for freedom in *n0way* and forces Martin to relive the night of Sarah's death in *finAle*.

### Lily

While not much is known about Sarah's relationship with Lily, it can be assumed they had a loving relationship.

In *NeedleM0use*, Sarah lists Lily alongside her mother and father, saying she misses them. A photograph in *Seas0n 2* showing Sarah and Lily sleeping near each other has a heart drawn on it, although Lily's eyes are censored.

After Sarah's death, Lily began putting up flyers labelling her as missing.

### Tom

It can be assumed Sarah and Tom will have somewhat of a rivalry in the future, as shown in official art containing the two. It is currently known that Sarah has her sights set on Tom, as shown in *SpeedDuo64 Presents:*. Tom's status as Luther's son as well as Luther's faith in him most likely heavily contributes to her interest towards him particularly over Kyle.

## Trivia

* The beta game disc that Sarah is trapped in is named Needlem0use itself.
* Sarah is weightless post-mortem.
* Originally, Sarah was going to possess the body of an unwilling, sentient Sonic. This "Sonic" half would be suppressed as Sarah took over. This was evidently scrapped, with Sarah merely taking on the form of Sonic instead as Sonic remains a fictional character.
	+ Sarah finds a strange comfort in being Sonic, although she can switch between the forms of other Sonic 1 characters.
* Sarah is Asian.
* Sarah was originally going to look much different, being short-haired and having her eyes fully covered while wearing a blue hoodie. This short hair can still be seen in early official art of Needlemouse, displaying Sarah as a silhouette behind her vessel. It was then explained her design was changed because she looked too much like Noodle from *Gorillaz*.
	+ Additionally, Sarah's gender was going to be ambiguous and left up to the viewer, but was later changed to be male. This was changed again as her gender changed to female.
* In *finAle*, a picture of The Fun Gang misspells Sarah's name as "Susie".
* Concepts of a hypothetical universe where Sarah possessed the first *Super Mario Bros.* game instead have been shown. If this had happened, she would be named "Jumpman" instead of Needlemouse, but still remain female.
* Needlemouse's form is actually based off of Modern Sonic rather than Classic Sonic.
* Needlemouse has appeared in every episode thus far.
