~ Sally Acorn to Sonic. |
Princess Sally Acorn is a major character in the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic series.
Intially a localiziation of the Animal Friend Ricky that appeared in some pieces of western Sonic media, Sally was later conceived as the princess of Mobotropolis and the tactical leader of the Freedom Fighters, as well as one of Sonic's closest allies until the cancelation of the Archie comics. Sally has not appeared in another piece of Sonic-related media since then.
Appearance[]
In her earliest appearances, particularly in the early Sega of America lore bible, Sally was a squirrel. She was also portrayed as such in media such as the Fleetway Sonic the Comic series. In the latter she is portrayed as an anthropromorphic squirrel with a red or pink bow.
Like in the 1993 animated series, Sally is an anthropomorphic chipmunk with brown fur and tan fur around the front of her abdomen, muzzle and eyes. She also has blue eyes and voluminous auburn hair. For footwear, she wears tall blue boots. In later issues she began wearing a blue sleeveless vest.
In the reboot continuity, her clothes consist of black shorts with white rimming, dark blue boots with white outlines on the buckles, and white gloves with her Ring-Blades. She wears a closed blue vest with a black crop-top hidden underneath. Her tan-colored underbelly can be seen in her midriff. A red stripe runs from her hair and down her back to the tip of her tail.
Personality[]
Sally is strong-willed and always makes her opinions known. She is often logical and focused with a playful side and prefers to plan ahead in almost all situations. She often takes the role of a leader, directing and organizing people and also mediating and offering suggestions or compromises during tough situations.
Despite being sort of royalty, Sally, never hesitates to get into rough or messy situations when necessary and acts as a fighter rather than dressing or acting regally.
Sally is kind but also headstrong and tends to put too much pressure on herself to have the most levelheaded reaction. She can be somewhat insecure at times and allow her self-doubts to overcome her in the face of a failed situation and a perceived inability.
Sally's views her position as the princess of the Acorn Kingdom as one that requires great duty. She strives to lead her peoples, and love and care for them in the best way she can. She is very caring as well and shows passion, bravery and determination, often remaining undeterred by setbacks, and goes out of her way to make sure her friends are safe and happy. While inwardly compassionate, she can often come off as confrontational, overbearing, hard, sardonic and condescending when stifled enough. However, when openly emotional, she is shown to be very protective of her friends, worrying about their well-being in the field.
Powers and Abilities[]
Combatant: While her physical strength was average at best, Sally proved herself to be very agile and capable of acrobatic maneuvers. She is also proficient in basic combat, use of weaponry and martial arts, possessing high reflexes and abilities for self-defense.
Leadership: Sally is a natural leader and tactician, serving as the strategist and organizer of the Freedom Fighters. Her demonstrations of this include, coordinating her team's evacuation efforts of Station Square with effective results. She is logically minded but has experienced enough that she readily accepts the mystical forces she encounters. However, her thought process does have disadvantages, such as limiting her physical abilities in the Digital World to what she is capable of in the real world.
Ring-blades: In the Post-Super Genesis Wave continuity, Sally wears a pair of bracelets around her gloves called the Ring-Blades which can project energy blades. These blades have been shown to be durable enough to withstand direct strikes Metal Sonic's claws, and to cut through highly solid substances such as metal alloys. Sally wields these energy blades with great proficiency in battle; in the Digital World, she could also conceive of them in other shapes such as a shield and sword. She originally also had these when she was robotizied.
