| ~ Sonic’s heroic breakdown as he quits being a hero in "Just a Guy."; and his most-infamous quote. |
Sonic the Hedgehog is the titular main protagonist of the Sonic Boom sub-franchise.
He is an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog, gifted with super speed, who fights Dr. Eggman and other forces of evil. He serves as the leader of Team Sonic.
He was voiced by Roger Craig Smith, who also voices his game counterpart. In the French version of the television series, he was voiced by Alexandre Gillet, and by Jun'ichi Kanemaru in the Japanese version.
Appearance[]
Sonic is a tall, slim, blue furred hedgehog who shares the same unique, white sclera, green eyes, triangular ears and peach skin as his mainstream counterpart. Uniquely, he has a additional quill to his head, sports a brown scarf, has a futuristic looking blue and grayish watch on his left wrist, and has bandages on his wrists and calves, to the point of his shoes being covered.
Personality[]
In the games, he is very rational, brave, and serious-minded.
However, in the television spin-off, he is given more personality than in the Boom games he starred in. He starts off as very cocky, snarky, sassy, selfish, brash, sometimes mischievous, and arrogant, but still does anything to save the day and has shown to have many insecurities and quirks behind his heroic and laid-back exterior, like fooling around for example. Underneath his ego, impulsive instincts and short-sighted moments, he does have a caring and loyal side to him, as he does share a brotherly relationship with Tails very often, and he's protective of his reputation despite acting like he doesn't care. To the point of even having a frenemy style friendship with Dr. Eggman of all people.
In Season 2, he becomes a bit more self-aware and wittier on top of being less cocky towards his friends than before and all while very free-spirited and thinking on his feet, having such common sense that it's easy to consider him a "straight-man" to his friends. Sometimes he has a playful, albeit never mean-spirited, arrogance about him, likes to play small pranks, and would try entertaining himself whenever he's by himself. Not battling Eggman does make life boring for him, meaning that having Eggman in his life is essential for him. When the situation calls for it though, Sonic can be serious and will immediately rush to aid those in dire need.
He loves exercising, eating chili dogs and is an adrenaline-junkie who gets a kick and the thrills out of adventure, challenge, and triumph, making him a thrill-seeker.
Due to his good-hearted aspects with being a team leader, he becomes quite honorable. Being quick to ask for help and understand their collective contributions. Regardless of this, Sonic's self-obsession, confidence and impatience tends to get in the way of his team spirit, he sometimes feels that things are done easier if he handles them alone. This attitude alone also makes him kind of boastful in the faces of his friends on occasion. Although, Sonic usually defends his actions in such cases, he is nonetheless able to admit where he is wrong. He also believes in idea of friendship that his team shares, and will never do anything to compromise it, to the point that Tails has noted how Sonic will never give up on his friends no matter what.
While very selfless for saving the Village many times, Sonic does come across as somewhat sensitive about his hero-status. As he can become jealous, defensive, and frustrated whenever someone else rivals his fame, steals the spotlight, or the civilians turning against him for no reason. Sonic gladly springs into action when he gets the opportunity to save the day in the end. This mindset even led to him nearly retiring due to how ungrateful the citizens were for his heroic efforts, showing that he will get angry if he gets pushed too far. Even so, when the times really call for it, Sonic will forgo his opinions to help those in need.

Relationships[]
Dr. Eggman[]
Dr. Eggman is Sonic's eternal arch-nemesis, whom he has known longer than anyone else. However, it's unknown how they met and how they became enemies. Because of Sonic's hatred of anything unjust, he holds a great mutual hatred for the doctor and his evil plans to take over the world, and he has spent years rescuing the victims of Eggman's conniving schemes. Whenever Eggman is cooking up a plan to conquer the world, Sonic always shows up and thwarts him. Because they always fight each other to win, Eggman has become a longtime rival of Sonic' as well as an enemy. Also, whenever Sonic's anger explodes over injustice, he always makes Eggman the receiving end of this aggression.
Despite his dislike of Eggman, Sonic has never really taken account of his adversary and doesn't consider him his enemy in the true sense of the word. Whenever dealing with Eggman, Sonic remains fully confident that he can spoil his plans and never really takes them seriously. In fact, Sonic finds entertainment in spoiling Eggman's plans, seeing as a way of making his life an adventure, and is so used to beating him that he considers it an everyday job.
Usually, Sonic is rather frank or taunting towards Eggman and will almost always seize the opportunity to tease him with jokes and sarcasm. Sometimes, Sonic even finds Eggman more bothersome and annoying than threatening. Nevertheless, he remains fully vigilant about Eggman and his actions. In the cases Sonic does deem Eggman a legitimate threat, he becomes very serious about the doctor and targets him with fierce anger.
For all their opposing ways, Sonic and Eggman are ultimately co-dependent and need each other in their lives. While he does not mind Eggman leaving his life, Sonic finds things too boring for his taste without Eggman to fight, which makes him restless and paranoid. Similarly, without Sonic to challenge him, Eggman has no motivation to be a villain.
In spite of Eggman's horrible deeds, Sonic is content with just stopping the doctor and is never out to put him out of commission for good on purpose. Because of Eggman's tendency to survive their encounters and refusal to give up, however, the doctor always returns with a new scheme, prompting Sonic to stop him again. As such, Sonic remains forever locked in a conflict with Eggman where it is nearly impossible for both individuals to defeat the other once and for all, making their battle a never ending one.
Miles "Tails" Prower[]
Tails is Sonic's best friend and most trusted companion, whom Sonic has described as "his main man and BFF". They are extremely close, and both are willing to sacrifice their life for the other since Sonic knows that Tails always has his back when he is in trouble, the duo are often seen hanging out or go on adventures together by themselves.
While Sonic appreciates Tails' support and loyalty, however, he does not like it when Tails is patronizing him or getting too mushy in the compliments and commendations.
Knuckles the Echidna[]
Knuckles is Sonic's best friend after Tails. They have known each other for a longer time, but they relationship is somewhat complicated, the two of them having been summed up once as "best frenemies". When Knuckles first met Sonic, they started off as enemies, because of Eggman has lied to Knuckles by saying that Sonic and Tails were trying to steal the Master Emerald. However, after Knuckles discovered that Eggman lied and stole the Master Emerald while Knuckles was fighting Sonic and Tails, Knuckles joined forces with them to get the Master Emerald back and stop Eggman from conquering the world, and then, Knuckles befriended Sonic and Tails, and (along with Amy and Sticks), they formed Team Sonic.
Although being close friends and teammates now, Sonic and Knuckles still share a little rivalry with each other due to their differences. While Sonic is cool, playful and loves to joke, Knuckles is grouchy, serious and gets in angry easily. Knuckles is also somewhat hostile towards Sonic at times, and the two don't understand each other and they don't always see eye to eye. They share a competitive rivalry, and they often end up fighting when clashing, though their rivalry has become more friendly over time, being now more a play between the two. Additionally, Knuckles furiously defends Tails from Sonic whenever Sonic is rude to Tails.
Knuckles also envies Sonic's free lifestyle and independent nature, which somewhat influences their rivalry. Sonic, meanwhile, always welcomes a challenge from Knuckles and enjoys teasing him for fun because of his serious nature and will even try getting him angry so he can fight him.
A majority of their confrontations has been caused by Dr. Eggman, who would trick Knuckles into thinking Sonic (and, to a minor extent, Tails) is the enemy; though, as time passed, Knuckles has stopped believing in Eggman's lies and is now more aware of his plans. Whenever Sonic discovers Eggman had tricked Knuckles, he always chides him by calling him "Knucklehead", which Knuckles doesn't take too well, though they always make peace with each other.
Despite their differences, Knuckles is very loyal to Sonic, and is willing to risk his life for him, and vice versa. The two are connected by a hot-blooded friendship and according to Tails, they are "funny" together. While Sonic doesn't hold back on Knuckles shortcomings, they deeply acknowledge each other, and Sonic knows he can count on him to do what is needed to succeed. Over time, their relationship has improved greatly, though Sonic is still somewhat reluctant to admit when Knuckles is right, and he was wrong. While Knuckles at times rebuts his help and claims he could do better, Sonic just rolls with it and is merely glad to help him. The two are also great and loyal teammates, having worked together multiple times, and when they do so they form an unstoppable team. For better or worse, Sonic will do also be there to give Knuckles needed, if not harsh, consoling whatever he is in doubt. Both of them love each other as brothers and protect each other at all costs.
Amy Rose[]
Amy has a crush on Sonic but unlike the official games, she keeps it a secret. It is implied that Sonic reciprocates her feelings, but feel awkward about acknowledging them. There are scenes where Sonic and Amy are shown caring for each other and show concern, like in one episode, U.T. revealed that Sonic cares for Amy’s well-being. Sonic appears to get jealous on several occasions. Various references are made to their relationship in the games. Sonic stutters with nervousness when someone suggests that they are in a relationship and even denies that she is his girlfriend. Although the same show corrects him saying that Sonic is not telling the truth, in a way. Also, in the episode “The Meteor” and “The Evil Dr. Orbot” it is hinted that they may be dating.
Sticks the Badger[]
Sticks is a member of Sonic's crew and one of his closest friends. The two are alike in the sense that they "go running into danger without a plan, a direction, or a clue," though it usually falls on Sonic to be the more sensible one between them. Sticks will occasionally join in on goofing off with Sonic. Like his other friends, Sonic is normally unnerved by Sticks' paranoia and stays skeptical about her theories and judgement in general. Additionally, he feels very uncomfortable when he actually finds himself agreeing with her crackpot theories. He also once hesitated to tell her that Lyric had kidnapped Amy, showing a degree of fear for her outbursts. Nonetheless, Sonic accepts Sticks' quirks and will apologize for doubting her when he is proven wrong. Likewise, Sonic thinks she is a very nice person deep down.
Very loyal to Sticks, Sonic likes her penchant for tackling foes head-on and considers her a valued teammate. In spite of his personal dislikes, he will also agree to help Sticks with her tasks at hand, like being her escort to a gala and going pet shopping with her. Once though, he considered himself a better survival expert than Sticks until she put him in his place.
Metal Sonic[]
Metal Sonic is Sonic's robotic copy, created by Dr. Eggman for the sole purpose of destroying him.
Shadow the Hedgehog[]
Shadow is Sonic's tense arch-rival and his equal in both speed, abilities and dashing looks. Despite their similarities, they are polar opposites in every way, with Shadow disagreeing with nearly everything Sonic stands for. While Sonic is joyful, free-spirited and adventurous, Shadow is brooding, serious and violently aggressive. Whereas Sonic draws strength from his friends and believes in teamwork, Shadow is loner who only relies on himself.
Shadow shares a bitter rivalry with Sonic which go way back and is determined to defeat him at all costs due to his pride. He finds Sonic himself extensively annoying and criticizes him for being weak and a disgrace to hedgehog-kind. Shadow also firmly thinks of himself as Sonic's superior and whenever they meet, they usually end up arguing.
While willing to ignore Sonic, Shadow will just as easily pick a fight with him and will go out of his way to defeat or even kill Sonic to prove bow pathetic he is which Shadow justifies on the grounds that Sonic deserves it for being such a disgrace. In fact, fighting Sonic is one of the few things Shadow ever shows an interest in. For all his animosity towards Sonic, Shadow seems to have a degree of respect for his rival, willingly complimenting Sonic and letting him go after he beat Lyric.
