Maddie Wachowski

*"Donut Lord lives with Pretzel Lady. She is super nice to animals and strangely was born without bones."*
―Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
Doctor **Maddie Wachowski** is the wife of Tom Wachowski, and a veterinarian. She lives with Tom in Green Hills, Montana. She helped Sonic on his venture to retrieve his lost rings in San Francisco. Maddie also helped him fight Dr. Ivo Robotnik, and accepted Sonic into her family as an adopted son.

At that time, Maddie and Tom became parental figures to Sonic. After leaving for Hawaii to attend Rachel's wedding, she learned of Robotnik's return, and joined forces with Rachel to rescue Tom, Sonic, and Tails from G.U.N.. Maddie and Tom went to Green Hills to support Sonic in successfully defeating the Giant Eggman Robot with Tails and Knuckles the Echidna, and assisting Sonic in his Super Sonic state.

## Biography

### Early Life

*"Thomas Michael Wachowski, what did you do the entire time I was in veterinary school?"
"I worked a second job to pay the rent and-"
"A third job to pay tuition."*
―Maddie Wachowski and Tom Wachowski[src]
After having met and married Tom Wachowski, Maddie was educated as a veterinarian at a veterinary school whilst her husband payed for rent and tuition by working at two extra jobs.

At some point, Maddie would start to work for the Green Hills' veterinarian clinic and would be nicknamed 'Green Hills Most Respected Veterinarian' by Tom.

### Tom's New Job

*"Hey, what are those?"
"Apartments for rent I found on Zillow. I thought Ozzie and I could fly there tomorrow and check out some neighborhoods."
"I mean, this is all happening so fast."
"Oh, man. It's the craziest thing; you apply for the job, you get the job."
"Well, pending a background check."*
―Tom Wachowski and Maddie Wachowski[src]
As Tom returns home from his sheriff duty, Maddie presents him with an envelope sent by the San Francisco Police Department. It reads that Tom's application has been reviewed and that Wachowski is accepted to join their team. For this special message, Maddie created a special cake to celebrate, also having made an alternate one in case Tom would not have been selected. Maddie has also searched for apartments on Zillow to reside in San Francisco. Though skeptical if Maddie approves of this big change, she assures Tom that she is both proud and okay with this.

### Residing in San Francisco

*"Whatcha doing?"
"Just coloring with Jojo and Rachel."
"Ah, that sounds half fun."*
―Tom Wachowski and Maddie Wachowski[src]
Having traveled to San Francisco, Maddie calls Tom from Rachel's Home, where she, Jojo and Rachel are spending time coloring. After being informed about the Green Hills Energy Surge, Tom mentions the raccoons' return to Maddie as well and plans to 'scare' them away with Maddie's tranquilizer gun despite Maddie's protesting against the use of it and telling Tom that it is to be used upon bears.

### Meeting Sonic

#### Learning About Sonic

*"What the heck is going on?! Is that thing an alien?!"*
―Maddie Wachowski to Tom Wachowski[src]
After Tom Wachowski and Sonic the Hedgehog met, evading the forces of Ivo Robotnik which eventually led to Sonic's unconscious state, Tom decides to visit Rachel's Home. When he does, Rachel attempts to block the front door, but Maddie opens it. Concerned over Tom's appearance on the news, Ozzie reveals that, under the blanket Tom was carrying, is Sonic.

Even though she remains appalled at an alien's appearance, Maddie agrees to help Sonic regain consciousness. Tom advises her to use smelling salts, and upon doing so, Sonic confusedly sprints across the kitchen. Maddie takes Tom to another room to make him explain Sonic's species and presence. After explaining how he met him and that he is, in fact, an alien, he tells Maddie that Sonic needs to visit the Transamerica Pyramid in order to retrieve his lost rings. Maddie is then convinced in helping Sonic getting back home.

#### Arrival at the Transamerica Pyramid

*"Sonic, I know you got the super speed and everything, but Maddie and I…"
"Totally defenseless? Probably gonna get blown up?"
"Pretty much, yeah."
"Don't worry. I know exactly what to do."*
―Tom Wachowski, Sonic the Hedgehog and Maddie Wachowski[src]
The trio get to the Transamerica Pyramid's area with Sonic the Hedgehog's horrible driving, a tactic that Maddie finds unreasonable. Wondering what happens now, Maddie is amazed as Sonic speeds up the pyramid. Sonic returns telling Maddie and Tom that a special key needs to be of use. Tom has the idea of making up a suicidal-related situation taking place on the roof of the building and hiding Sonic in a bag that he carries as Maddie goes alongside them, which works.

As they reach the roof, having caused an awkward situation in the elevator before, Maddie and Tom prepare to see Sonic leave Earth after retrieving his rings, Ivo Robotnik and his Badniks halt Sonic's escape. With the Flying Eggs readying their firearms, Sonic decides to push the Wachowski's off the roof, allowing them to fall in a ring portal to farmer Zimmer's barn in Green Hills.

### Skirmish at Green Hills

*"I kinda feel like I checked the "save a life" box off my bucket list. Now all I want to do is spend my life with the people I care about. I want to check that box."
"Yeah, I like that."*
―Maddie Wachowski and Tom Wachowski[src]
Maddie, Tom Wachowski and Zimmer arrive in Green Hills just in time to see Sonic's supposed demise executed by Ivo Robotnik. She'd also see Tom attempting to fight Robotnik, but he is thrown off the Egg-Pod. Maddie would rush over to Tom, inspecting to see if he is okay and see Sonic achieve his ultimate power after Tom confirms Sonic to be his best friend to Robotnik. Maddie would then witness the battle between Sonic and Robotnik, and how Robotnik would be banished to the Mushroom Planet.

After Sonic and Tom high-five with the name 'Donut Lord' being mentioned, Maddie requests an explanation for the name, but both Tom and Sonic classify it as 'their thing', like Maddie's and her sister's. This reminds her of Rachel remaining tied up in her chair and she decides to never return to San Francisco. Tom also decides to stay in Green Hills and work for the Green Hills Sheriff's Department whilst spending time with Maddie and people he cares about.

#### Renovation and Sonic's Stay

*"Well, welcome home."*
―Maddie Wachowski to Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
As Tom and Maddie renovate the house because of it's invasion, Sam Walters gifts the Wachowskis an Olive Garden gift card for keeping the Skirmish at Green Hills a secret and wants to speak to Sonic the Hedgehog, but both Maddie and Tom assure him Sonic will never be seen again. Closing the door on him, Maddie tells Sonic to go back to his 'cave'. As Sonic unwillingly leaves, he is called back to see the attic, where it is now designed to be his bedroom. Sonic thus thanks both Wachowskis for letting him stay.

### Another Day in Green Hills

*"Bye, Sonic! I have to get to the clinic. Promise me you'll stay out of trouble until Tom and Wade are back from their trip."*
―Maddie Wachowski to Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
One day, when Tom Wachowski and Wade Whipple were on vacation, Maddie left Sonic the Hedgehog at home to visit the veterinarian clinic, warning him to not cause trouble.

### Trip to Hawaii

#### Rachel's Wedding

*"Buddies. Wingmen. A squad. Sonic doesn't have anything like that. He's flying solo."
"Baby, you got to relax. You're at the four seasons. Have a Mai Tai. Spend some time with your wife."
"That's what he said. Seriously, his exact words."
"See? He's a smart kid. He'll find his way."*
―Tom Wachowski and Maddie Wachowski[src]
After Sonic had a talk with Tom by the lake, of which Maddie reminded Sonic of, she and Tom were sent to to Hawaii by him after a power bump to attend her sister Rachel's wedding.

She'd sit by Rachel at a table watching her fiancé Randall Handel perform a joke on Tom and later spoke to Tom who thought Sonic should have a group of friends such as Randall's. Maddie, like Sonic, told him to relax and assured him Sonic would find his way alone.

#### "Operation: Catfish"

*"All right. Game plan. I get inside the hotel and find where they're hiding Tom and Sonic."
"Okay. Then I find Randall, right? And then I squeeze the breath from his lying, deceitful, perfectly manscaped body!"*
―Maddie Wachowski and Rachel[src]
At the wedding ceremony of Rachel and Randall, Tom suddenly interrupts it by throwing a ring portal, erupting Sonic in an avalanche. Maddie and Tom walk up to the snow-buried Sonic, who explains that Robotnik is back as Doctor Eggman looking for the powerful Master Emerald to rule over the world, then stressing to wake up his newfound and unconscious buddy Tails. Maddie is shocked as Sonic is tased and taken away by Walters' Guardian Units of Nations. She tells him that Sonic, who is not an alien threat, is the only one who can stop Eggman, Walters shares the fact that he is back with his soldiers.

Receiving Tails' backpack from ring bearer Jojo, Maddie has the idea to infiltrate the hotel, where Tom and Sonic are hidden, while Rachel will attempt to harm Randall, an agent. Maddie would find herself surrounded by agents, being saved by Rachel.

Maddie, having managed to save Tom and Sonic, return to see a great energy beam from an island afar. Maddie assures Sonic that going over there alone is much to big for him, despite his determination to prove his responsibility. Tails awakens as Sonic leaves, having Maddie and Tom telling him to rest, being told that Sonic doesn't know what he is up against.

### Battle Against the Giant Eggman Robot

*"You have to get away from me. I'm the one he wants."
"Hey. We're not going anywhere. We're family."
"And families stick together… No matter what."
"I love you guys."
"We love you too, Sonic."*
―Sonic the Hedgehog, Maddie Wachowski and Tom Wachowski[src]
Maddie and Tom returned to Green Hills with a G.U.N. to meet a Master Emerald-powered Eggman, who creates a formidable robot that wrecks Green Hills. She and Tom spot the Sonic and his friends flying on the *Tornado*, evacuating the other townsfolk.

As they help people leave, Maddie and Tom take a truck of Tom's friend, driving towards a heavily injured Sonic so Maddie can save him from the robot's foot, being tipped over its fist afterwards. Maddie and Tom take Sonic in arms, about to be crushed, until Sonic, holding the now broken Master Emerald, absorbs its Chaos Emeralds, saving Maddie and Tom with incredible power.

Maddie later hugs Sonic and Tails, performing a power bump with Tom as the three form a new order to protect the Master Emerald. Maddie later played baseball with everyone and invited them to eat ice cream afterwards.

## Personality

*"You sacrificed for me. I'm happy to sacrifice for you."*
―Maddie Wachowski to Tom Wachowski[src]
Incredibly warm and loving, as well as really smart, Maddie is shown to be exceptionally supportive of both her friends and loved ones, as well as their dreams. As an example, she made Tom two cakes to congratulate him in getting the job he wanted in San Francisco or in case he did not get it. Whenever she senses that something is up with those close to her, she is willing to drop everything to work towards making both those close to her and herself happy together. As such, she is willing to sacrifice as much as those around her are willing to sacrifice for her sake. She also works well under-pressure and shows both emotional and intellectual maturity, refusing to engage in her sister's rants about divorcing Tom.

Maddie also cares deeply about animals, being super nice and sympathetic towards both wild animals and domestic animals, and works hard to make sure they are healthy. Notably, she would scold Tom not to shoot the wild raccoons that get into their trash with her tranquilizer dart gun and got annoyed with him when she found out he shot Sonic with it.
