**Ashe's father** is an unnamed park safety ranger within Forest Ridge Zone Campground. He is also the father of Ashe.

## History

### Trial by Fire

When Amy, Jewel, Tangle and Belle, arrives at the Forest Ridge Zone Campground, they meet the bear at his booth. There, he informs them about the danger of the area being prone to catching fire because of the metal virus. After giving them their campsite, the campers noticed a prank on the bear by his son Ashe and a red wisp. (#45)

The Ranger along with Amy and Jewel are running run from the fire while trying a way to stop the fire or they'll be dealing with a stampede. But the Ranger gets yelled by an old man who angrily tells him about the fire. But when the Ranger tries to reason with the old man and explaining about his son dissappearing, the old man begins to accuse Ashe and the red wisp for being the ones responible for staring the fire. Amy quickly uses her hammer to break up the fight and have the campers work together to escape from the fire while Tangle and Belle continue searching for Ashe. (#46)

After learning from Ashe about Surge and Kit being the ones responible for starting the fire, Tangle and Belle continues their journey back to the campsite. But after going through some rough waters and hanging onto safety, Tangle and Belle arrive back at the campsite and the Ranger is happily reunited with his son. Later on, Amy puts out the fire and tells Sonic and Tails about her camping experience. She also tells them about Tangle leaving to find Whisper and that if Sonic went along on their camping trip, he wouldn't be able to handle the water. But back at the campsite, the Ranger notices all the trees burnt until he notices footprints. He notifys the firewatch that it wasn't an accident and that Ashe had nothing to do with the fire. (#47)

## Appearance

## Trivia

* Ashe's father, as well as his occupation of teaching fire safety is a homage to Smokey the Bear, a well-known American fire-safety mascot.
* In Issue #48, he and Ashe are only seen in the page focusing on what happened after the campsite was saved by Amy and her friends. But In one issue, Ashe appears only once in a flashback. Since they no longer appear for the rest of the series, it is unknown if they'll ever return or appear in the new issues.
* The Park Ranger still doesn't have a name after appearing alongside his son Ashe for the last three to four issues.
Indigo Wisp

The **Indigo Wisp** is a type of Wisp. As its name suggests, it is indigo in color.

## History

### The Imprisoned Planet

At some point in the past, the Indigo Wisps, along with other fellow Wisps, and their planet came under the threat of Dr. Eggman. Fortunately, they were saved by Sonic the Hedgehog. Afterward, a bunch of Indigo Wisps and other fellow Wisps settled down on Sonic's world where they helped out the residents of Sonic’s world whenever they could, the Wispons being one such way of helping in particular. (StH: #3)

### During the War

During the war between the Eggman Empire and the Resistance, Resistance soldiers would use Deployment Pods to send willing Wisps onto the field in order to help on the battlefield. (StH: #3)

Near the end of the war, a town that served as a hub for Wispon distribution was saved and subsequently conquered by mercenary duo Rough and Tumble. As a result, many Wisps, including several Indigo Wisps, were hoarded in Deployment Pods and Wispons by the two skunk brothers. (StH: #3)

### Fallout

In the town that Rough and Tumble had taken over, the Indigo Wisps found salvation when Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna arrived to stop the two mercenaries. During the heroes' subsequent fight with Rough and Tumble, the Indigo Wisps and their fellow Wisps were convinced by Sonic to not let the two villains boss them around. As such, the Wisps in Rough and Tumble's Wispons left them, leaving their arsenal powerless and allowing Sonic and Knuckles to defeat them. Afterward, the now-liberated Indigo Wisps decided to stick around and help the villagers defend their town by powering their Wispons. (StH: #3)

## Appearance

The Indigo Wisp has a sphere-shaped head with one violet eye. It also has three round tentacles stemming from the bottom of its head and a small round-tipped antenna on top of its heads. Most noticeably, it has an indigo ring, similar to a planetary ring, around its head.

## Personality

Being a Wisp, the Indigo Wisp is peaceful, helpful, and friendly of nature, and it enjoys spending its time with others. It gets especially well along with the good people of Sonic's world, whom it would gladly help out whenever it was needed.

The Indigo Wisp is not much for fighting. However, it is nonetheless brave and good-hearted. As such, it does not approve of amoral behavior and will not stand idly by when its friends need it.

## Abilities

The Indigo Wisp is able to levitate in midair at will, which serves as its main method of transportation.

The Indigo Wisp is able to generate and store its own unique variant of a powerful energy inside its own body. The Indigo Wisp can as well pass on a fraction of this energy by phasing into the recipient.

## Background Information

* The Indigo Wisp was based on the character of the same name in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, where it first appeared in *Sonic Lost World*. It was unnamed in the comic, but its name is considered tier 2 canon by this site's canon policy, as it does not contradict already established canon from tier 1.

## History

### The Imprisoned Planet

At some point in the past, the Ivory Wisps, along with other fellow Wisps, and their planet came under the threat of Dr. Eggman. Fortunately, they were saved by Sonic the Hedgehog. Afterward, a bunch of Ivory Wisps and other fellow Wisps settled down on Sonic's world where they helped out the residents of Sonic’s world whenever they could, the Wispons being one such way of helping in particular. (StH: #3)

### During the War

During the war between the Eggman Empire and the Resistance, Resistance soldiers would use Deployment Pods to send willing Wisps onto the field in order to help on the battlefield. (StH: #3)

Near the end of the war, a town that served as a hub for Wispon distribution was saved and subsequently conquered by mercenary duo Rough and Tumble. As a result of the duo taking over, many Wisps, including several Ivory Wisps, were hoarded in Deployment Pods and Wispons by the two skunk brothers. (StH: #3)

### Fallout

In the town that Rough and Tumble had taken over, the Ivory Wisps found salvation when Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna arrived to stop the two mercenaries. During the heroes' subsequent fight with Rough and Tumble, the Ivory Wisps and their fellow Wisps were convinced by Sonic to not let the two villains boss them around. As such, the Wisps in Rough and Tumble's Wispons left them, leaving their arsenal powerless and allowing Sonic and Knuckles to defeat them. Afterward, the now-liberated Ivory Wisps decided to stick around and help the villagers defend their town by powering their Wispons. (StH: #3)
