Knuckles The Echidna

Knuckles The Echidna

He is an anthropomorphic echidna and the current guardian of the Master Emerald, a powerful ancient gemstone which is kept on Angel Island. Guarding it is his solemn duty to protect from anyone seeking to abuse it, as well as the sole surviving descendant of the echidna race from the Knuckles Clan. Known for his powerful and wild nature, his dominant traits are his super strength and the two spike-like knuckles on each of his gloves, from which his name is derived from, and which he can dig and climb walls with. He can also trap the wind under his dreadlocks to glide through the air. Knuckles is also one of Sonic the Hedgehog's oldest friends and rivals. A loner by nature, Knuckles is independent, headstrong, and serious, yet gullible and short-tempered to a fault. He is entirely devoted to his duty, spending most of his time on Angel Island protecting the Master Emerald and rarely cares about anything that is of no importance. When his friends and others are in need of his help, however, Knuckles can always be relied on, being willing to leave his home very often. Though usually depicted as the guardian of the Master Emerald, he was originally described as the guardian of Angel Island's seven Chaos Emeralds.

Appearance

Knuckles is an anthropomorphic echidna with red fur that covers most of his body, a black nose on his peach-skinned muzzle, a white crescent-shaped patch of fur on his chest, and purple eyes. He also has seven dreadlock-like spines around the sides and back of his head and a medium-sized, tri-crooked tail. For attire, Knuckles wears red and yellow shoes, each with green cuffs, light gray soles, and metallic, sextuple-bolted plates on top. He also wears large, white, mitten-like gloves with sock-like cuffs and two spiked knuckles on each hand.

Personality

Knuckles is described as serious by nature, with a touch of naivety. However, he never loses his good humor when he is with his companions. Knuckles clings to his existence as a warrior, proud of his heritage. He tends to be overconfident and arrogant, belittling his opponents because of his inexperience as a "warrior". Knuckles is very determined and meticulous in the pursuit of his goals, never abandoning his task or accepting the possibility of giving up. He is also very solitary by instinct and prefers to do things alone. However, he is willing to betray his own instincts and ask for help if he recognizes a task that may be beyond his abilities. However, as honorable as he is, he is also fair and has a strong sense of justice that compels him to help even his enemies if he feels he owes them a debt. He is also very straightforward and honest.

Mind

Though they continue to compete, the rivalry is no longer one of mistrust, but rather a shared desire to be the best. Where others might see only stubbornness, Knuckles appreciates Sonic's tenacity and will. Though they sometimes clash, Sonic's honesty and courage have earned Knuckles' respect.

Relationship with Sonic

Their relationship is that of rival friends. They love to test each other in trivial matters such as strength or speed, but in the end they can always count on each other. They share a desire to protect others from danger, so they often set aside their competition to focus on more important goals.

intimacy

Their rivalry will remain intact, even during intimacy, and Knuckles will show that he can be better than Sonic. Of course, some tact is required, through kisses and caresses.
