Amy Rose (WI01)

## Amy Rose

**Amy Rose** - or just Amy in most instances - is a supporting character from *What If Sonic Never Lost The Werehog Form?*, a passionate and carefree girl who's also one of Sonic's long-time friends. She harbors a strong affection for him and cares for him deeply, and while their relationship has been somewhat chaotic over their many adventures, her role in helping Sonic come to terms with his Werehog form has been extremely beneficial for his mental health.

## Personality

Amy's personality is identical to that of her video game canon counterpart, she wears her heart on her sleeve and is both passionate and energetic in everything she does. Her boundless love for Sonic is completely unhindered by his Werehog transformations and she quickly comes to sympathise with his plight upon the situation being explained to her, going on to support him without question while he struggles with his affliction.

## History

### Past

Prior to the events of the series, Amy played a role in the story of *Sonic Unleashed*, where she supported Sonic throughout his journey from the side-lines (though she did not make an appearance in Part 1, which adapted the game's final battle). At some point in Shamar, Sonic agreed to go on a date with Amy once Dark Gaia was dealt with, and she excitedly waited for the day to come.

### Sonic and the Black Knight Arc

Sonic ended up missing their date due to being summoned by Merlina to fight King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, with Amy being none the wiser and incredibly upset. This got worse after Sonic vanished for several weeks leading up to the launch of Eggman's Interstellar Amusement Park, prompted by his depression and anxiety revolving around what might happen if he lost control again.

### Sonic Colors Arc

After being worried about Sonic and frustrated about their missed date for weeks, Amy finally saw him at Aquarium Park and tackled him in the midst of a conversation between himself and Big. She was in hysterics for a short time as her emotions poured all at once, but was able to calm down and realize that Sonic had been missing due to still being cursed with his Werehog transformations each night. Sonic promised to reschedule their date and hugged Amy, but she pushed back his apology and said that she'd always wait for him, no matter what.

Amy was among Sonic's allies who gathered at the Space Elevator in Tropical Resort, witnessing the arrival of the Mother Wisp and Sonic's transformation into Super Sonic. She went with Tails and the rest of the group to Eggman's control room where the Mind Control Cannon was hijacked and fired, returning peacefully back down to the planet below after the Mother Wisp used her powers to undo the damage she'd caused in her rampage.

### Sonic Generations Arc

At some point between her last appearance and Part 4, Amy was kidnapped by the Time Eater and hurled into White Space, where she became petrified among the time-frozen remains of Eggman's Chemical Plant from Westside Island. Due to the noxious fumes hanging over the facility blocking Sonic's ability to revert to his base form using the light of the sun, he was unable to save Amy until the plan to use the Magic Lamp came about, his wish to restore the friends still petrified causing her to be restored offscreen. Amy arrived with the rest of Sonic's friends who delivered the Chaos Emeralds to him, cheering on both her Sonic and Classic Sonic while they did battle with Alf Wamaritan in their Super Werehog forms.

## Powers and abilities

Amy's abilities are identical to that of her video game canon counterpart. She is fast on her feet, athletic and wields a magical weapon called the Piko-Piko Hammer, which she can summon at will. By using tarot cards or just her 'girlish intuition', she can tap into minor extrasensory abilities that help her locate people she's after, such as Sonic.

## Relationships

### Sonic the Hedgehog

> *She'll always wait for Sonic.*

Amy's love for Sonic is steadfast both platonically and romantically, treasuring their time together and always ready to set off on a new adventure if Sonic will be there somewhere along the way. Her role in supporting the heroes during *Sonic Unleashed* was an important factor in keeping up Sonic's spirits and, during Dark Gaia's rise, she still stalwartly believed in Sonic against all odds that he would emerge victorious and save the world. When the events of the Black Knight Arc caused Sonic to miss their date and then proceeded to go missing, she was deeply devastated and couldn't contain her emotions upon seeing him again at the Interstellar Amusement Park. Upon seeing that Sonic was still struggling with his transformations, she put her wants aside to insist that she would always wait for him to be ready if he'd like to pursue a romantic relationship with her.
