Amy Rose (Fleetway)

Personality: While she initially started out as a damsel-in-distress, Amy's character swiftly matured as the comic went on and became one of the most valuable members of the Freedom Fighters. Amy has a crush on Sonic and often flirts with him and calls herself his girlfriend. However, she also does it partly to annoy him, showing a mischievous sense of humor. Amy has also showed clever thinking and pragmatism, such as when she both figured out how to defeat Plasma and made Sonic believe he had defeated him as she knew that, as a symbol of hope for Mobius, "it's important that they think it's him who saves the day

Physical Appearance: Amy Rose is a short, anthropomorphic hedgehog. She started out with three short, yet upturned quills on the back of her head, a tuff of quills on her forehead, two conjoined eyeballs with black eyes, a short tail, and peach skin covering her muzzle, inner ears, and arms. She possessed as well a small black nose, triangular ears on top of her head, and no back spines. She also had two medium-length eyelashes on each side of her eyes. Originally, she had brown fur, but her fur turned pink after a laboratory accident. Early on, her standard attire included an orange-ruffled or pleated skirt, a green puffy-sleeved shirt with a white collar and cuff bands, white and blue sneakers with orange shoelaces, white wrist-length gloves, and a red ribbon hairband. Starting in Sonic the Comic #106, Amy would get a new look - she would begin wearing cargo pants or a skirt, with a wide variety of T-shirts and sweaters of different colors. Her T-shirts had various slogans or pictures on them. She would also wear hair bands of different colors. Though, after getting her new look, she still wore her white gloves.

Abilities: Amy is shown to possess expert marksmanship with her crossbow (which she created herself) or hand-drawn bow.

History: Amy originally lived in a village near the Chemical Plant Zone. For some time, she opposed Dr. Ivo Robotnik's dictatorship over Mobius, and would often give speeches to the people of her village to make them fight against Robotnik, only for them to refuse. Supposedly, Amy would also cause trouble for Robotnik a few times. One day, after another failed attempt to inspire the folk of her village to fight Robotnik's regime, Amy broke through the Chemical Plant Zone, where Robotnik and some other scientists were trying to make a machine that would grant Robotnik Sonic's powers. After shooting the machine using her crossbow, Amy was thrown to the machine's power core by Robotnik, hoping that the explosion of the machine will dispose her. However, she emerged totally unscratched, much for the surprise of Robotnik and his colleagues, with her quills having fused together and turned pink the same way Sonic's quills fused together and turned royal blue. She subsequently left, taking out Robotnik's Troopers with her crossbow. This incident inspired her village's folk to resist the doctor's rule, much to her delight. Ruled by Robotnik Amy first appeared in a two-part story where she was 'arrested' by Doctor Robotnik'sTrooper Badniks for the criminal offense of association with Sonic (she had been saying she was his girlfriend). While annoyed at the fact she had been lying about them being an "item," Sonic still had a duty to rescue her and did so, but to his horror, realized that she was now a fugitive and would have to stay with the Freedom Fighters. While it had been planned for her to be a more useful member, unfortunately the first three stories she was in (one a Sonic the Hedgehog CD adaptation) had her taken hostage as a plot motivator. In the second of these, however, she showed her maturity and quick thinking by brokering a mutually beneficial deal between her kidnappers (Captain Plunder and the Sky Pirates) and the Freedom Fighters. She appeared often in strips, where she saved the day without the others noticing. She also took a second-in-command role, taking full control when Sonic was absent or transformed into Super Sonic; when Sonic was lost in the Special Zone, she led the Freedom Fighters until he returned in #100. Post-Ruled by Robotnik At a later part of the comic's life, Amy would be mostly written by Lew Stringer as a straightforward adventurer and had a long series of back-up strips teamed up with her best friend Tekno. After encountering the mysterious Eternity Ring, they both traveled through time and space to help out people in trouble and save multiple planets (including Earth). Adventures included Mobius in the year 5000AD, helping Hercules complete his thirteenth labour to get into Olympus, and witnessing the birth of life on Mobius.
