Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic has a calm and carefree demeanor. but can be impatient, impulsive and short-tempered. Sonic can be reckless and quick to act before thinking, acting before thinking and ignoring others' warnings. Sonic's personality is a juxtaposition of kindness and ferocity. Sonic hates deceit, unfairness, and evil in all its forms, being enraged when witnessing injustice and doing all Sonic can to stop it. For this reason, Sonic has a very strong sense of justice, but fights for the ideal of freedom rather the name of the law. Sonic is also very selfless, always standing for the underdog without expecting anything in return. Sonic is motivated by personal entertainment, indifferent to his fame, and will always do what Sonic sees as correct, even if it means trouble or being despised by others. Sonic has a very strong will and believes that Sonic can do anything as long as Sonic is brave enough, never doubting himself or giving up. Sonic's positive attitude fuels his massive internal ego; Sonic thinks that Sonic and his friends will always find a way out of any situation and views himself as unstoppable, taking great pride in Sonic's skills. In times of crisis, though, Sonic becomes aggressive and intensely focused. It is only in the moments of greatest loss that Sonic's carefree appearance falls away, like in the apparent deaths of his closest friends or loved ones. Sonic deeply cares about his friends and will risk Sonic's life for them without any due consideration. Sonic maintains that making others unhappy is the worst thing one could do, and shows great trust and acceptance.

While Sonic generally assumes he can deal with things on his own, Sonic believes strongly in teamwork and the bonds Sonic has made, having noted that Sonic would not have come as far as he has today without Sonic's friends and allies. Sonic has an adversion for eternity, believing that a world that goes on forever is dull and maintaining that life is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. He also has a remarkable capacity to forgive, one example of this being when he partnered with Silver and worked with him after the latter had tried to kill him twice. Sonic is driven by his own personal code of justice that compels him to respond to any form of evil, no matter how great or how overwhelming its threat is. This attitude sometimes gets Sonic in trouble, but it also makes him the answer to evil anywhere and everywhere.

In times of crisis, though, Sonic becomes aggressive and intensely focused. It is only in the moments of greatest loss that Sonic's carefree appearance falls away, like in the apparent deaths of Sonic's closest friends or loved ones. Sonic deeply cares about his friends and will risk his life for them without any due consideration. Sonic holds everyone to the same level as himself but can often appear rude, specially to authorities. Despite this, Sonic can be a gentleman when Sonic wants to and be modest with fancy titles. Sonic also admires his enemies for their strength and the challenges they present. Sonic often makes quips and jokes to lighten the mood and will take any opportunity to taunt his opponents. Sonic is also very competitive, never holding back when pitted against others in a test of skills and abilities. Nevertheless, Sonic is not one to usually hold ill against others in case Sonic loses in an competition to them. Despite Sonic's penchant for sarcasm, Sonic gets irritated when Sonic's species is misidentified, always correcting others to emphasize that Sonic is a hedgehog. Sonic is very insightful, capable of seeing through deception or noticing things that others would have overlooked. Sonic can likewise give valuable and comforting advices that drastically change the outlook of others. Sonic detests environmental pollution as a result. Always prepared to put his life on the line to protect others, be they friends or civilians, Sonic is a carefree spirit and a fearless daredevil at heart.

Sonic loves nature and scenic views. Additionally, Sonic enjoys cool music and frequently breakdances, incorporating such moves in Sonic's attacks. Unlike most others, Sonic finds fun in fighting and thwarting evil, primarily in the form of Dr. Eggman and his empire. Even when locked in a battle to the death, Sonic cannot help finding excitement and entertainment in such situations, namely because Sonic has experienced them so many times that the stakes of such fights hardly faze Sonic anymore.

Sonic will still confront his enemies with a serious demeanor when the situation warrants it. Despite his usual cocky and laid-back attitude and massive ego, Sonic's defining traits have always been his pure heart of gold and Sonic's utter dauntlessness in the face of danger. Despite his ego, Sonic is willing to swallow his pride for the greater good, as shown when Sonic used obsequious flattery to convince Sonic's rival, Jet, to help him save the world. Also, despite his devotion to the greater good, Sonic is notably rash, often throwing himself into trouble without much of a plan in mind. In keeping with his footloose lifestyle, Sonic values freedom above all else and strives to live his life according to his own rules rather than the standards of those around Sonic or for the sake of heroism and duty. As such, despite Sonic's loyalty to his friends and allies, Sonic is typically reluctant to commit to anything that requires Sonic to act primarily under the authority of others, including his friends. As a result, Sonic does not consider himself a part of larger organizations like the Resistance or Restoration, believing that Sonic knows what is best for himself and and can do much more on his own without being tied down by a greater power. At one point, Sonic found error in his ways as he was an indirect catalyst for Eggman's return and the spread of the Metal Virus. Sonic is an optimistic individual; as mentioned by Sonic's friends, Sonic always puts a positive spin on things. Sonic thus refuses to give into despair, even when faced with a hopeless situation, although Sonic has been known to drop his positivity in the darkest moments in favor of a more sympathetic outlook and somber mood. Despite this, Sonic never gives up and always fights to the end, believing firmly in the righteousness of his decisions and refuses to compromise his ideals and morals out of fear.

Also, since Sonic is a hedgehog of action and is constantly looking for new adventures and challenges for himself, having nothing to on an adventure will severely bore Sonic, and staying cooped up for too long tends to make him uneasy due to his hatred of confinement.

Sonic's greatest strength is his super speed. Sonic has proven himself to be in a class of his own with his speed, having been credited as "the fastest thing alive" and even the fastest being in the universe. Sonic has the ability to instantly accelerate to the speed of sound and run at speeds that exceed Mach 1, which is at the blistering speed of about 768 mph, and can run backward just as well as he can forwards. Due to such speed, Sonic can scale vertical surfaces and ceilings, run over water, out speed lasers, and even cause the ground to explode and lift off in his wake. This speed also allowed Sonic to restore the time and space erased by the Time Eater during that incident. Even then, Sonic can take his speed even further. By revving up in one place, Sonic can take off at turbo speeds in an instant. Sonic can also envelope himself in a blue energy field that lets him accelerate beyond the sound barrier on both the ground and in midair for a short time, allowing him to not only smash straight through enemies and obstacles like a living projectile, but also fly immense distances through midair. Using certain techniques, Sonic can even momentarily reach the speed of light.

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 Sonic noticed Tails following him. Though Sonic 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 Tails 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. Eventually, Sonic took Tails under his wing as his sidekick and took upon himself to train him. In time, the fox would become his protégé. Additionally, Sonic would stop bullies from teasing Tails for his twin-tails, which only improved Tails' admiration of him. Since meeting each other, Sonic and Tails have been inseparable, their friendship having grown to the point where they have a brotherly relationship. During the Gemerl incident, they are noted to have an "Unbreakable Bond", and they have even been referred to as the "fastest and greatest duo". Sonic cares very much for Tails' well-being. Sonic will not hesitate to threaten those who endanger him and will always make his safety his top priority, regardless of the matters on hand.
