Sonic the Hedgehog is the titular main protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series and Sega's mascot. He is an anthropomorphic hedgehog born with the ability to run faster than the speed of sound, hence his name. As his species implies, Sonic can also roll up into a concussive ball, primarily to attack enemies. Born on Christmas Island, Sonic abandoned his home at an early age to pursue danger and adventures. Becoming a carefree adventurer, he has spent most of his life traveling around the world and far beyond, usually with his best friend, Tails, by his side. He has used his abilities to defend his world and those far beyond from the forces of evil, especially his arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman, and his empire. During his many adventures, Sonic has traveled from the ends of the world to the far reaches of space and time, facing countless trials that have tested him to the fullest, earning him many titles, allies, and the scorns of several foes. Well-known for his attitude and somewhat short temper, yet strong sense of justice, compassion, and love for freedom and adventure, Sonic's countless victories over the villains he has faced and his extraordinary set of abilities both have given him somewhat of a celebrity status, having many fans who yearn for his cool lifestyle. However, he does not care about his image at all, and prefers to live his life his own way. 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. Sonic is said to be "like the wind", a drifter that is always on the move and is noted for being free-spirited and with an endless appetite for adventure, whose motto is, "Run daily whenever in the mood". Going wherever the flow takes him, Sonic values freedom above all else and strives to live his life according to his own rules and whims rather than the standards of those around him or for the sake of heroism and duty, never thinking twice about what other people say or think. Because of this, he does not see himself as a "hero". Owning to his love of freedom, he is also a very independent guy who is willing to live and die by his own rules. Born to run and loving to cover as much ground as possible, Sonic enjoys nothing more than adventure and traveling around the world. This is because he believes life should be exciting. In fact, the ways of his heart are much like the Sun; the hedgehog runs and rests, while the Sun rises and sets. The hedgehog also loves interacting with the many cultures present on the planet, and enjoys tasting the regional dishes, specially chili dogs; because of this, he likes to call himself a connoisseur. Endowed with a strong passion for enjoying life, he is never in one place for long and always moves forward to look for his next challenge, viewing his life as a never-ending series of adventures. Because of his need for freedom, the hedgehog loathes the idea of being constrained; being cooped up or being forced to stay in one place tends to make him very uneasy and restless. By the time of the War to Take Back the Planet, however, Sonic appears to have somewhat overcome his stir-craziness, remaining calm and snarky even after being imprisoned aboard the Death Egg for six months. Nevertheless, he does enjoy a few indoor activities, such as reading, specially on rainy days. Some books he reads include the Arabian Nights and King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Needless to say though, his primary passion is speed, and as such, he likes anything fast; if there is anything he prefers to take slow, it is a vacation. Sonic's demeanor is normally easygoing, calm, and carefree, no matter the crisis. However, he is generally impatient as he hates boredom, cannot hold still, and can be impulsive and short-tempered. Because of this, Sonic can be reckless and quick to act before thinking, throwing himself into trouble without a second thought and regards for others' warnings, to the point that he has acknowledged that his speed has gotten him in all kinds of conflicts. Nevertheless, he is honest, fearless, and always keeps his promises. Dr. Eggman is Sonic's eternal nemesis and arch-enemy, whose plans he has foiled for years as of now ever since either before or during the South Island incident. If their relationship can be described with a single word, it is hostile, but explaining it properly is surprisingly difficult. Miles "Tails" Prower is Sonic's best friend and sidekick, as well as his most faithful and loyal friend. Sonic first met Tails on West Side Island where he noticed Tails following him. Though he was not interested in Tails at first, Sonic grew impressed with his tenacity when he kept up with him and let him tag along. When Dr. Robotnik then attacked West Side Island, Sonic joined Tails when the fox followed him into the conflict. In time, Tails proved himself a great ally to Sonic, and after defeating Robotnik, the two had built the foundation for the friendship that would define their future. Amy Rose is one of Sonic's oldest and most loyal friends, and his self-proclaimed girlfriend. Since meeting Sonic, Amy has looked up to him as her hero and been madly in love with him, and her greatest wish is to marry him. Sonic first met Amy during his adventures on Little Planet where he saved her from Metal Sonic and Dr. Robotnik's captivity which made them fast friends. Right from the start though, Sonic has not liked her like a girlfriend or reciprocate her advances. However, this attitude has done nothing to deter Amy. Metal Sonic is Sonic's robotic alter ego, created by Dr. Eggman for the sole purpose of destroying him. However, even though their appearances are similar, there is a certain difference between the two of them that goes beyond their obvious physical dissimilarities. While Sonic enjoys life freely and lives for adventure, Metal Sonic is obsessed with the one purpose he was made for and will cut off anything not related to that goal. As such, even though they are both super-speedy hedgehogs (albeit with one of them being a robot), their worldviews are completely different. Knuckles the Echidna is one of Sonic's greatest rivals and best friends. They have known each other for a long time, but their relationship is somewhat complicated, the two of them having been summed up as "best frenemies." When Sonic first met Knuckles, they two of them had a shocking and dreadful encounter, with Knuckles trying to keep Sonic from stopping the Death Egg's re-launch after being deceived by Dr. Robotnik. As such, they started off as adversaries. However, when the echidna discovered that Robotnik had tricked him, the two of them joined forces to keep Robotnik and his robots from stealing the Master Emerald, and they departed on good terms. Shadow the Hedgehog is an occasional rival of Sonic's. They look almost identical (to the extent that many initially got them confused), and they can match each other in speed, agility and abilities, including Chaos Control. The two of them first met each other as enemies, with Sonic holding a grudge at Shadow for getting him into trouble with GUN, but they put aside their differences to team up and save the world from Gerald Robotnik's doomsday plans. Since then, they have been both lethal adversaries and comrades. The only similarity Sonic and Shadow share is their silhouette, as their personalities and tendencies are completely different. In fact, Shadow is one of the most formidable opponents to Sonic in every way and the antithesis to all that Sonic stands for. As such, since they first met, they have fought, argued, and even had outright death matches. Despite this, Sonic is never out to take Shadow's life and does not consider him an enemy in the true sense of the word.
