Belinda

**Belinda** is a character that appears in *Sonic Boom Retold*. She is an anthropomorphic goat from Hedgehog Village and the wife of Charlie. When Charlie turned to a life of crime, Belinda joined her husband as his partner in villainy.

## Appearance

Belinda is a thin anthropomorphic goat of average height with brown fur, a tan muzzle with a black nose, blue eyes, and a short bushy tail. She has long hair that she keeps together in a braid, a short hair turf on the back of her head, curved ears and stubby white horns. For attire, she wears a straw hat with a light blue band and a yellow flower, a long green dress with butterfly symbols on it and a darker green upper section, a yellow necktie, white gloves, a brown belt with a side pocket that is braided with a flower, and brown shoes.

## Personality

Belinda is a good-mannered hostess as seen when she invited whom she thought to be her husband's friend over for dinner. However, she is quite short-tempered and assertive. She also has little tolerance for people unwilling to stand up for themselves or too inept to speak their mind.

Since Charlie became a supervillain, Belinda has embraced the life of villainy, quickly adapting a sense of maliciousness and the ambition to take over Hedgehog Village. Befitting the classic villain, she also has an evil laugh. Cunning, vengeful, dishonest, composed and manipulative, Belinda can quickly formulate evil plans on the go and knows how to exploit people's weaknesses to her advantage. She also displays a preference for violence, having encouraged the most brutal behavior possible on multiple occasions. She will likewise gladly employ indecent tactics if it means victory, like the usage of human shields.

After standing on the sidelines and watching other villains fail for too long, Belinda grew in arrogance, believing that she could do better than any of them. This prompted her to become a more active supervillain. During her first rampage, Belinda showed the full extend of her cruelty, proving herself a ruthless and merciless foe willing to attack innocent bystanders out of sheer malice or over petty annoyances. However, she still has her soft side, as shown in how she loves her husband and appreciates what he is willing to do for her.

## Powers and abilities

### Equipment

Belinda wields a blue, grey and yellow chest harness with retractable wings from the Ancients that she received from Charlie after he excavated it from some ruins. This harness gives her the ability to fly, and can fire deadly blasts from midair. After receiving it, Belinda has demonstrated great mastery over it.

## Relationships

### Charlie

Charlie is Belinda's husband. The two of them are very close, although they have their fair share of arguments. There is also a strong contrast between them in their relationship, with Belinda being assertive and outgoing, and Charlie being reserved and submissive towards Belinda. When Belinda is in a bad mood, she makes Charlie the receiving end of her frustrations. Despite this, she genuinely loves her husband.

Belinda has a problem with Charlie's general unwillingness to stand up for himself. This discontent with Charlie's ineptness eventually made her kick him out. However, she took Charlie back after he proved his assertiveness by becoming a supervillain. Afterwards, their bond became stronger than ever, as Belinda not only praised her husband's growth, but also lied for him so he could remain a villain and torment Knuckles.

Since then, Belinda has become Charlie's partner in villainy, often acting as the brain and tactician behind their schemes and attacks. Her composed demeanor effectively makes her a counter to Charlie's otherwise aggressive impulses. Their new closeness briefly faltered when Belinda thought that Charlie had gone back to his old ways (although it pushed her to become a better independent villain), but it later became stronger than before when Belinda got a weaponized flight harness from Charlie that let her become just as active a supervillain as him.

### Team Sonic

Belinda has held a genuine dislike for Team Sonic ever since becoming a villain. Despite having no real beef with the group, she considers them obstacles standing in the way of her and Charlie's goal of taking over Hedgehog Village. As such, she holds no qualms about fighting them, and will do so in the most violent and low way as possible if it means victory. However, she is careful about not engaging them recklessly unless the group is at a disadvantage.

### Dr. Eggman

In spite of Dr. Eggman being the top villain on Bygone Island, Belinda holds little respect for the scientist due to his constant failures, having referred to him as a "pudding-head". His failures were some of the factors that made her step up her game as a supervillain.

### Villagers

Although Belinda lives among the villagers of Hedgehog Village, she holds no loyalty towards them and dislikes them for being general annoyances; when she fought Amy and Sticks with Charlie's Mech Suit, Belinda would go as far as to attack the surrounding villagers out of sheer malice and dislike for them. Of all the villagers, she dislikes the Male Fennec for his snarkiness, Fastidious Beaver for his tendency to make grammatical corrections, and Lady Goat for the way she looks.
