**Alica the Hedgehog** (アリカ・ザ・ヘッジホッグ *Arika za Hejjihoggu*) is a mobian hedgehog and genetically modified clone of Sonic, Shadow, and Amy . Along with Terios and Amethyst, she was created by Twist. After leaving her creator, she left in order to pursue a path of good and saving the world, even if it means doing wrong. She strives to better herself and give herself a greater purpose than what her creator intended. She is part of Team Bygone, along with her best friends Nuri and Twain.

## Development and Design

     Alica started out as "Alissa the Hedgehog" (which is one letter off from the creator's real first name), whom was created back in early 2011 and was one of the creator's first OCs. She was originally designed as a recolor of Sonic, with a green shirt, orange skirt, indigo eyes, and a tuff on her forehead. Her appearance was heavily copied off of Classic Amy. "Alissa" had an unclear personality and was originally either an alternate universe counterpart to Sonic or Sonic's long-lost sister. She was also originally designed to be only 11 years old.

"Alissa" was abandoned in favor of a better character and was once redesigned as a character named "Scribbler", but that character was also scrapped. She was soon renamed to "Alica" to differenciate her from the original name. Many concepts were considered, such as a villain, a joke character, a narcotrafficker, and a demon-like being. However, during the release of the IDW comics and new characters implied to be Dr. Starline's supposed creations, directly before the release of *Trial by Fire* and *Imposter Syndrome*, it was eventually decided Alica would be a clone of Sonic. The clone concept was expanded to emphasize Twist's unoriginality and tendency to copy off of other villains. As Alica's design finalized, it was decided she'd be a mix of Sonic, Shadow, and Amy, although with more emphasis on being a clone of Sonic.

The name "Alica" was chosen since it was close to her original name. It's either the slovak form of Alice or a variant of Alicia. The creator personally pronounces it "Al-eh-kah".

## Characteristics and Biography

In an attempt to copy off of Dr. Starline's supposed creations, Twist stole the DNA of Sonic, Shadow, and Amy in order to create her own set of clones. Thus, Alica and her "siblings", Terios and Amethyst, were created. With her three new creations, Twist began planning on destroying Sonic and his friends in order to "impress" both Starline and Dr. Eggman. However, after finding out that Surge and Kit were **not** clones and instead "modified" from already existing individuals, she began to see the three as failures and began treating them as her slaves. Sick of being treated like trash, Alica, Terios, and Amethyst escaped to become more than just clones.

Alica decided to do what she deems to be good in an attempt to rebel against what her creator intended, working *with* heroes rather than *against* them. Along the way, she met Nuri and Twain, and the three became friends and formed their own group together.

She often wears a scarf/mask that covers her mouth in order to hide her scars. Her hair also slightly covers her right eye, which is completely white. She cannot see out of her white eye.

Being a clone of Sonic and Shadow, Alica has the ability of super speed and can reach speeds similar to both Sonic and Shadow, as well as enhanced agility and acrobatics. However, due to being blind on her right eye, she has poor depth perception and has difficulty with estimating distances.

### Personality

Alica is much more cutthroat than most heroes. In fact, she's much more of an antihero as her morals aren't necessarily "good". She's willing to go to extreme lengths in order to prove herself and may perform actions that do not seem ethical. This makes her much similar to Shadow than Sonic in a way, although she's much more willing to work with others than alone.

Alica has a rough exterior and has difficulty breaking out of her shell. While she's willing to work with others, she doesn't want to seem vulnerable and thus can act cold and distant around others. She doesn't like being taken advantage of and can tell when she's being manipulated. When around her friends, she's much more open and extremely loyal to them.

## Trivia
