Rob o' the Hedge

Rob O' the Hedge is a minor character in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series published by Archie Comics. He is the cousin of heroine Amy Rose, and a parody of the real-world folk hero Robin Hood. Rob O' the Hedge hides in a forest and poses resistance to Antoine D'Coolette's roboticized father, a despot who lives in a castle and oppresses the citizens of the area. Rob appears to be similar in appearance to Sonic, despite the fact that they are not related. Unbeknownst to him, he also stood as the destined sentry of the city of Albion, ancient homeland of the Echidnas.

Rob first appeared when he accompanied Knuckles the Echidna and the Lost Echidna Tribe-whose prophecy referred to him as "the Other", the one person who could bring them home-to Albion. Along the way, he met Mari-An, a female Echidna who was very similar to him in personality. The two bickered, ending in a fight on a nearby log over a creek. Rob was knocked into the creek, and when the two again met eyes, it was love at first sight. The two became married, Rob's only warning from Mari-An's parents being to take care of her, and live in Mercia guarding the entrance to Albion; some time later, Mari-An gave birth to a child.

General D'Coolette was Rob's greatest foe and the one responsible for the Roboticization of Rob's Crazy Kritter Freedom Fighters. Even after the general regained his free will, Rob remained suspicious of him until they finally made amends. He was seen at Amy's Freedom Fighter induction ceremony, commenting on his cousin's "good form", and he participated in the battle against the Xorda.

Like the Fleetway comic version of Amy, Rob is a skilled archer, wielding the Robin Hood-style bow and arrows.
