Sonic The Hedgehog

Appearance 🦔

Sonic is a slim anthropomorphic hedgehog with blue fur that covers most of his body, and peach skin that covers his arms, muzzle, insides of his ears and front torso. He has small, triangular ears on top of his head, six long quills on the back of his head, two spines protruding from his back behind his shoulders, and a short tail. Back when he was younger, up until the Chaos incident, Sonic was shorter and stubbier, had a round head and an equally round torso, and black eyes. Following said crisis, he has grown taller and thinner, and developed green eyes. Prior to the Neo Metal Sonic incident, he was also often shown to have peach-skinned eyelids, until they eventually were portrayed as blue as well. For attire, Sonic wears red boots with a white strap, cuff and gold buckle each; and a pair of white gloves with sock-like cuffs on the hands.

Personality 🦔

Sonic has a lot of self-confidence and courage, making him believe that he can do anything as long as he is brave enough. Whenever he finds himself in a tough chalenge, he never tries to "cheer himself up"; rather, he thinks that people should refresh and believe in themselves rather than the previous option, and is always like "whatever will be, will be".[73] His signature positive attitude is where his massive internal ego comes from; he thinks that he and his friends will always find a way out of any situation[74][75] and that he can be unstoppable,[54] and takes great pride in his absolutely unbeatable speed and strength.[19] However, this attitude sometimes leads to him underestimating his enemies and the task at hand. Nevertheless, this ego is not to be confused with narcissism, as Sonic does not see himself as more important than others. No matter the threat or how dangerous it is, he always remains cool under pressure.[54] In Japanese versions of media, Sonic omits honorifics and speaks informally (if not rudely), using "ore" instead of "I" when addressing himself or others ("ore" is a boastful way to say "I" in Japanese). However, he will still occasionally use honorifics when addressing close friends or acquaintances. He often jokes around to light the mood and will also take any opportunity to taunt his opponents. Being so smug, he has developed a habit of talking to destroyed robots, even when he knows they cannot hear him, which he can be embarrassed about when caught in doing.[76] Despite this, he can be a gentleman when he wants to and be modest with fancy titles.[77][78] Additionally, while Sonic generally assumes he can deal with things on his own,[74] he also realizes he has friends to back him up in situations too big for himself and believes strongly in teamwork and the bonds he has made, having noted that he would not have come as far as he has today without his friends and allies.[79] In keeping with his smugness and confidence, he often engages in playful banter with his enemies; an example is during the War to Take Back the Planet, where he asked Infinite "optional" questions to glean into what the secret behind the latter's powers were, what his favorite color was and whether he liked long, romantic walks on the beach; and also "asked" a Zavok Phantom Copy if he would let Sonic join a party occurring on the Death Egg, referring to the commotion resulting from the Resistance's infiltration of the area. Sonic is likewise very competitive; while he takes no interest in challenges he knows he can win easily,[80] he always welcomes a good competition that has him squaring off against others on even ground. Sonic likewise never holds back when pitted against others in a test of skills and abilities,[81] and is not above trash-talking his opponents.[82] Nevertheless, Sonic is not one to usually hold ill against others in case he loses in an competition to them; while he got angry that he lost his victory to Jet during the first EX World Grand Prix due to someone sabotaging his Extreme Gear and had to bear the blunt of the hawk's trash talking, Sonic usually maintains a good sense of sportsmanship, even in defeat.[83][84][85] Early on, Sonic showed no interest in competing in race.[80] However, during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, he admitted that he had a lot of fun while driving the Speed Star for the first time,[86] and raced using cars to give his friends a chance at winning[87] and to have some fun himself.[86][62] In his own words, he uses racecars "'cause it's cool".

Equipment 🦔

Though he does not prefer to use weapons, mainly dissing firearms,[125] Sonic has wielded a number of tools during his adventures, albeit never permanently. During the Space Colony ARK incident, Sonic used Grind Shoes, which were specifically made for grinding.[126] Also, during the Emerl incident, he utilized deployable landmines in battle, and one time, he would wield his own version of the Piko Piko Hammer. During the World Ring incident, he also wore Shahra's Ring, allowing him to harness Shahra's magic for himself. Similarly, during the scabbard of Excalibur incident, Sonic would wield swords; he initially wielded Clarent, but later exchanged it for Caliburn, a sapient sacred sword with magical properties.
