The girl with a heart as big as her hammer
CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Amy Rose
Nicknames: Rosy the Rascal
(The name "Princess Sally" was given to Amy in the American version of Sonic CD in a half-assed attempt to initially promote the impending SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog TV series. The actual Princess Sally looks and acts nothing like Amy and the name "Princess Sally" is NOT a nickname of Amy's, nor is it even part of the Sonic Team continuity.)
Race: Hedgehog
(Speculation: If you choose to get technical, Amy is most likely an African Pygmy Hedgehog, since that is the most common, well known species of hedgehog.)
Gender: Female
Age: 12 years of age
Date of Birth: Unknown
(Amy's DOB is generally confirmed as September 23rd, since that was the release of her first video game. However, it is not canon to the video game storyline, as her true DOB is unknown. If you find it necessary to add her DOB nonetheless, September 23rd would be the most ideal choice.)
Birthplace: Unknown
Height: 90 centimeters (2 feet and 11 inches)
Weight: Secret
(Speculation: Nice try, hon. After finding the mean in the weight of most of the characters similar to her size and proportions and factoring in age and size, it's safe to assume that Amy's weight is somewhere between 23 to 27 kilograms or so.)
Ability Type: Speed
Alignment: Hero
Physical Techniques:
(1). Spin Hammer Attack
Description: Amy twirls in place, swinging her Piko Piko Hammer around in a 360-degree radius to waste any enemies that are stupid enough to come hear her. This attack can make her dizzy if used for too long, though. She can also use this attack in midair.
In game debut: Sonic Adventure, Sega Dreamcast, 1999
Last known use: Sonic Shuffle, Sega Dreamcast, 2000
(2). Spin Attack
Description: While in locomotion, Amy can curl down and take on a fetal position, rolling along the ground as a ball at a very high speed and rate of torque, meant primarily for breaking through barriers, or destroying enemies. However, in her case, Amy usually uses her Piko Piko Hammer during the attack in order to do any damage.
In-game debut: Sonic Advance 2, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2002
Last known use: Sonic Dash, Mobile, 2013
(3). Spin Jump
Description: Also referred to as the "spinball jump," Amy is able to leap into the air and curl into a spinning, tightly compacted ball of destruction which can destroy enemies and break barriers. Again, Amy needs her Piko Piko Hammer to it to be of any use.
In-game debut: Sonic Advance 2, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2002
Last known use: Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, Mobile, 2017
(4). Step Dash
Description: A technique very similar to Sonic's Super Peel Out, but not nearly as effective. While standing, Amy begins to quickly run in place, revving up her legs at a high speed before accelerating onwards in spinball form along the ground. It seems to be her technique that makes up for her lack of the tried-n'true Spin Dash.
In-game debut: Sonic Advance 2, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2002
Last known use: Sonic Advance 3, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2004
(5). Jump Dash/Homing Attack
Description: While airborne in spinball form, Amy can burst forward in a sudden jolt of speed in a linear path enveloped in a pink aura. When an enemy or object is near, the jump can be used to home right into the nearby enemy or object with extreme impact power. Her Piko Piko Hammer is needed to do damage.
In-game debut: Sonic Adventure 2; Multiplayer, Sega Dreamcast, 2001
Last known use: Sonic Heroes, Nintendo GameCube, Sony PlayStation 2/Microsoft Xbox, 2003
(6). Tornado Hammer
Description: Amy is able to jump up and swing her titular hammer to stir up a powerful vortex of wind and tiny love hearts that can move forward and sweep up her foes into the air and render them helpless.
Appearance: Sonic Heroes, Nintendo GameCube, Sony PlayStation 2/Microsoft Xbox, 2003
(7). Invisibility
Description: Amy can somehow temporarily turn herself invisible, allowing her to pass enemy eyes unnoticed.
Only used in: Sonic the Hedgehog (aka Sonic Next), Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, 2006
Abilities and Aptitude:
(1). Although despite being not as gifted with the dynamic physical abilities and skills akin to Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, Amy's weapon of choice makes her just as dangerous. When Amy whips out her Piko Piko Hammer, head for the hills. If she packs enough elbow grease in a swing, she can send very large and unwieldy objects sky rocketing. Even Sonic & Knuckles get worried and are forced to tell her to calm down when she unveils this real WMD. Amy knows plenty of ways to utilize this unique weapon of choice ranging from spinning it around to form a tornado, a head on slam with it, swinging it through the air as she flips, or even making it so big that one has to wonder how she carries it around in the first place.
(2). Speaking of flips, she has good acrobatic skills, when, of course, she uses the Piko Piko Hammer as somewhat of a spring to propel her in the air.
(3). This is a pure mental skill, but Amy's positive outlook gives her some border-magical ability to convince even the vilest of individuals into repenting from the side of evil through genuinely heart-spoken speeches. E-102 "Gamma" and especially Shadow are prime examples.
(4). Contrary to popular belief, Amy can be quite fast. Well...fast enough to keep Sonic looking behind his shoulder, anyway.
Transformations/Alternate forms: N/A
Hobbies and Talents:
(1). Very skilled in predicting one's future with her tarot cards and foresight.
(2). Excellent driving skills.
(3). Good culinary skills.
(4). Has some talent with all types of Extreme Gear.
(5). Enjoys and has some talent in seeking treasures through a mix of dowsing and just plain searching. This may have added to her great ability in seeking people she really wants to find (such as Sonic).
Weaknesses:
(1). Has a horrible habit of being the damsel in distress since she is almost always captured and held hostage by Dr. Robotnik, having to be saved by Sonic.
(2). If she was to ever be deprived of her Piko Piko Hammer, Amy wouldn't possess very good skill (if any) in battle.
(3). Her love for Sonic often clouds her judgment. Usually, her friend Cream is the one who puts her in line, if the tyke can overcome her fear of Amy's outbursts.
(4). Can be very delusional at times and tends to get QUITE pissed if the ironclad fact that Sonic doesn't share her feelings is ever mentioned.
(5). If she's apart from Sonic for too long, she can wear herself out from excitement upon finding him.
Physical Appearance:
- Coarse close-lying pink fur
- Peach skin muzzle, inner ears, and arms/hands
- Large eyes with emerald green irises, black pupils and glassy white sclera
- 3 pink furred curved, thick bangs coming out from her forehead
- 5 thick pink quills that extend downwards around her head, much like Knuckles' quills, except a lot shorter, and seem to be thicker. Like all hedgehogs, they appear to be consisted of many thousands of smaller spines
- Pink eyelids with two thick eyelashes on each.
- Completely pink-furred tummy with no markings
- Triangular, constantly alert and perked ears
- Small black and shiny nose, no apparent nostrils
- Small, slightly arched tail
- Broad pink furred feet with no distinct visible toes
Attire:
- A pair of white gloves, backed by very thick shiny golden ring bracelets
- A rather flimsy red halter-top dress with white accents and a skirt that flares out towards the bottom. White under-netting keeps the dress flared out
- Red boots with white stripe accents, metal soles and white collars (could be socks)
- Red headband that appears to keep her spines down
- White panties/undergarments (hey, they show up often enough)
- During the winter, she wears a red dress coat
Extreme Gear and other sports:
- A white and cerise vest with white trim at the bottom
- A pair of cerise trousers with white lines down the side of each leg
- A pair of red and white striped sports shoes with yellow accents on the top of each
- A pair of white gloves fastened in place by a red and yellow sweatband-like garment on each wrist.
- She also possessed the primarily cerise colored Ark of the Cosmos which allowed her to manipulate gravity.
- When necessary, instead of the trousers, she will wear black skintight shorts.
- During winter events, she wears a pink dress and black leggings with pink boots.
- When participating in swimming or gymnastics events, she wears a red dress with a white, red trimmed skirt and red shoes.
Nimue the Lady of the Lake:
- An elegant blue dress with a white and cyan trim and golden buttons.
- A blue headband
- White dress gloves with a yellow ring on each wrist
Items & Weapons:
(1). Piko Piko Hammer
Description: A pink, yellow and red hammer, her premiere weapon which can be used in any size she wishes. Amy doesn't leave home without it. When she pulls this baby out, write out your will and testament.
In-game debut: Sonic the Fighters, Arcade, 1996
Last known use: Sonic Jump Fever, Mobile, 2014
(2). Warrior Feather
Description: A red and green feathery hairpin that attaches to the side of Amy's headband. This let Amy perform the Spin Hammer Attack. Nowadays, she can use variations of it regardless.
Appearance: Sonic Adventure, Sega Dreamcast, 1999
(3). Long Hammer
Description: Looks like her standard hammer, only purple, green and, well, longer. This increased Amy's overall attack radius during her Spin Hammer Attack.
Appearance: Sonic Adventure, Sega Dreamcast, 1999
(4). Tornado Hammer
Description: A small red hammer that Amy uses to create the wind maneuvers necessary for Speed Formation.
Appearance: Sonic Heroes, Nintendo GameCube, Sony PlayStation 2/Microsoft Xbox, 2004
Last known appearance: Sonic Rush, Nintendo DS, 2005
(5). Has her own personal set of tarot cards.
Vehicle(s):
(1). The Breeze
Description: A blue, 50's style vehicle Amy used in the Chaos Grand Prix racing circuit. The Breeze had an oddly cheery disposition and great acceleration but poor top speed.
Appearance: Sonic Drift, Sega Game Gear, 1994
Last known use: Sonic Drift 2, Sega Game Gear, 1995
(2). She owns another 50's/60's style red convertible car that seems to be equipped with a turbo system that enables it to hover along the air over water, used in the World Grand Prix. It can occasionally pull off a speedy dash at the detriment of its cornering ability.
Appearance: Sonic R, Sega Saturn, 1997
(3). Pink Rose
Description: A pink and yellow Extreme Gear air board. It didn't do Amy much good in the EX World Grand Prix, since she was quickly beaten by Wave. The Pink Rose had a good top speed but rather poor cornering. It was later re-tuned and now dwarfs typical off-the-shelf Extreme Gear models.
Appearance: Sonic Riders, Nintendo GameCube/Sony PlayStation 2/Microsoft Xbox, 2006
Last known use: Sonic Free Riders, Microsoft Xbox 360, 2010
Personality Details:
Amy is a hedgehog who has an absolutely hopeless crush on Sonic. That pretty much seems to be her gimmick. She first met Sonic by predicting with her tarot cards that she'd meet him on the Little Planet since she idolized the hedgehog, and this immediately flowered into an all-out infatuation. Amy always tries her hardest to impress Sonic, especially by proving that she can be independent and do things (such as defeat Eggman) by herself, in spite of how many times she is captured by Dr. Robotnik and thus rescued by her true-blue hero.
Unfortunately for her, Sonic sees Amy as an annoyance and is not at all hesitant to head for the hills if he so much as senses that she is nearby, since he knows that she is prone to lunge right at him and hug him tightly. But of course, on the inside, Sonic cares for Amy and considers her a good friend. Amy, however, would love to be Sonic's wife, rather than just his friend.
When she isn't obsessing over Sonic (which is RARE), Amy's positive, protective, erratic, cheerful attitude and optimistic urge to pull the team together is always beneficial to the cast. But like the hedgehog whom she seems to love, Amy's temper can at times be just as short. The sassy, quick-witted temper of hers is mostly accentuated vocally in the form of taunting and verbal slurs. But when she gets physical and exposes that infamous Piko Piko Hammer (which happens waaaay too damn often), she always manages to maintain authority, whether she’s earned it or not.
Historical Biography:
All that is known with Amy is that before she met Sonic, and to this day even, Amy seems to have skills when using tarot cards or talent with the arts of divination and foresight. It was with these cards that Amy Rose predicted she would finally meet her idol, Sonic the Hedgehog, at the Little Planet.
When Amy arrived at Little Planet, a bit later after she first met Sonic, she was just as soon captured by Dr. Robotnik's latest invention, the Metal Sonic. As Sonic watched the metallic duplicate fly away with its new hostage, he knew it was up to him to save her. In the long run, he did, but…he truly had no idea what he got himself into. These days, it wouldn't be surprising if Sonic regrets ever saving her, however, because since then, Amy has always made a great effort to stick onto Sonic like a leech, always hugging him, tackling him to the ground, and asking him to marry her, among other things.
Lately, however, Amy seems to have made a much more dignifying gesture by trying to prove her independence to Sonic. Many times, Amy has in fact managed to get herself out of Eggman's clutches. She will always try her best to impress her true blue crush, but although she may become totally independent, mature, and (one can only pray) much less delusional, her hopeless crush on Sonic will probably never diminish. Like they say, true love never dies.
…Let's hope it does for Sonic's sake.

GAME INFORMATION
Franchise Name: Amy Rose
Original Purpose: Kind of a love interest for Sonic the Hedgehog, although it's actually the other way around. She loves HIM. He finds her annoying. Plus, Hoshino-san never (ever) intended her to be a serious love interest to begin with. Sorry, shippers. Deal with it.
Current Purpose: Hasn't changed.
Date of first promotion/presence in the industry: Amy's first debut was in Sonic CD, released first in Japan on September 23rd, 1993.
Years in Service: 29 and still going...
Impact on Series: She's the first female of the cast and the most popular of the girls. Those who are obsessed with the romance factor of the series (as minuscule as it is) are naturally drawn to her. The "Girl Power" factor is also present. Sadly, she isn't safe from the scrutiny of critics who want her and the rest of the supporting cast gone for good.
Original Designer: Naoto Ohshima and Kazuyuki Hoshino
Design Process: Unconfirmed. Amy's design process was probably similar to how all of the others were made. Many design sketches were made, and Kazuyuki's Amy Rose was chosen. Simple as that.
Possible design inspirations: Probably the most likely design inspiration for Amy is a hedgehog character with the same name in the manga comics that were published in the Shogaku Yonensei magazine a year earlier. The character's name was Amy and, in the storyline, she was Sonic's girlfriend.
Prestigious design variations: 4
Name: Amy Rose
Nicknames: Rosy the Rascal
(The name "Princess Sally" was given to Amy in the American version of Sonic CD in a half-assed attempt to initially promote the impending SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog TV series. The actual Princess Sally looks and acts nothing like Amy and the name "Princess Sally" is NOT a nickname of Amy's, nor is it even part of the Sonic Team continuity.)
Race: Hedgehog
(Speculation: If you choose to get technical, Amy is most likely an African Pygmy Hedgehog, since that is the most common, well known species of hedgehog.)
Gender: Female
Age: 12 years of age
Date of Birth: Unknown
(Amy's DOB is generally confirmed as September 23rd, since that was the release of her first video game. However, it is not canon to the video game storyline, as her true DOB is unknown. If you find it necessary to add her DOB nonetheless, September 23rd would be the most ideal choice.)
Birthplace: Unknown
Height: 90 centimeters (2 feet and 11 inches)
Weight: Secret

GAME INFORMATION
Franchise Name: Amy Rose
Original Purpose: Kind of a love interest for Sonic the Hedgehog, although it's actually the other way around. She loves HIM. He finds her annoying. Plus, Hoshino-san never (ever) intended her to be a serious love interest to begin with. Sorry, shippers. Deal with it.
Current Purpose: Hasn't changed.
Date of first promotion/presence in the industry: Amy's first debut was in Sonic CD, released first in Japan on September 23rd, 1993.
Years in Service: 29 and still going...
Impact on Series: She's the first female of the cast and the most popular of the girls. Those who are obsessed with the romance factor of the series (as minuscule as it is) are naturally drawn to her. The "Girl Power" factor is also present. Sadly, she isn't safe from the scrutiny of critics who want her and the rest of the supporting cast gone for good.
Original Designer: Naoto Ohshima and Kazuyuki Hoshino
Design Process: Unconfirmed. Amy's design process was probably similar to how all of the others were made. Many design sketches were made, and Kazuyuki's Amy Rose was chosen. Simple as that.
Possible design inspirations: Probably the most likely design inspiration for Amy is a hedgehog character with the same name in the manga comics that were published in the Shogaku Yonensei magazine a year earlier. The character's name was Amy and, in the storyline, she was Sonic's girlfriend.
Prestigious design variations: 4

Personal character analysis/commentary (by Ryan the Game Master):
Amy has come quite a ways since her debut. She's been fleshed out, become a near indispensable part of the Main Crew and has a huge fanbase. Aside from all that, though, she really hasn't changed much from the little hedgehog girl we met in Palmtree Panic Zone.
Since her inception onward, Miss Rose has been known for 3 things: being the main female of the cast, loving Sonic and adopting the rather annoying Tsundere archetype. This is usually played for laughs in the games, with the sole intention of making Sonic, the cool wiseguy hero, squirm and run for his life. This is a running gag that has yet to cease. While some see that for what it is, others, namely her fans, find it "romantic".
You see, as far as Amy and the majority of her fans are concerned, her feelings for Sonic are quite mutual; He's just "too shy" to admit them. Now, any Sonic fan with a sense of rationality (that is used on a regular basis), knows damn well that this is not true. The reason these two are going in circles, however, is because A) if a running gag works, use it. It's an unwritten rule in comedy these days, B) Sonic's too nice a guy to be honest with her and potentially break her heart and C) Sonic Team can't seem to find a purpose for Amy other than milking her crush.
NAY, I SAY!
To me, Amy's strengths lie in abilities that have nothing to do with her obsession. She's a fine leader, a capable fighter and, last I checked, pretty good at fortune telling. I feel that Amy has the potential to be an outstanding character in her own right. If only her crush on Sonic weren't holding her back...
