Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog, nicknamed the “Blue Blur,” is well-known for his speed which is called “second to none.” He made his first appearance in the game “Sonic the Hedgehog” for the Sega Genesis in 1991. Though he enjoys lazing around and simply enjoying himself, most of the games focus on the main antagonist Dr. Robotnik attempting to take over the world, only to be stopped by Sonic and occasionally several of his friends everytime.

His best friend is Miles Prower, more commonly called Tails. Acting as somewhat of a sidekick and slowly maturing into more of a partner as the games go on, the young fox has a knack for inventing things and other machinery.

Lots of times he’ll also team up with Knuckles the Echidna, guardian of the Master Emerald. He’s been called his rival on several occasions and the two get along well (most of the time).

Sonic is prideful and hates to be constrained, enjoying freedom and doing things at his own pace (which is always incredibly fast). Though he is cocky and rather impatient, he is someone who would never turn their back on a friend in need or to protect the greater good (on several occasions performing actions that nearly result in his death).

Sonic mainly fights by curling into a ball and spinning at high speeds (known as the Spinball, Spin Dash, etc). He is also a master in Capoeira (a Brazilian martial art)
