Orange Wisp (IDW)

The Orange Wisp is a creature that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by IDW Publishing. It is a type of Wisp.

Appearance
The Orange Wisps have rocket-shaped bodies, with two green eyes lined up vertically. Instead of tentacles like most other Wisps, they instead have three sphere-like structures on their bottom.

Past
At some point in the past, the Orange Wisps and their planet came under the threat of Dr. Eggman. Fortunately, they were saved by Sonic the Hedgehog. Afterward, a bunch of Orange Wisps settled down on Sonic's world where they would return Sonic's favor by helping out the residents of Sonic’s world whenever they could.

At some point, Whisper the Wolf got an Orange Wisp to join her team. This Orange Wisp would help Whisper by powering her Variable Wispon under various circumstances.

Shortly before the war between the Resistance and the Eggman Empire ended, several Orange Wisps in a town got hoarded by the mercenaries Rough and Tumble, who imprisoned them in their Deployment Pods and Wispons when they took over the town.

Fallout
In the town Rough and Tumble had taken over, the Orange Wisps found salvation when Sonic and Knuckles arrived to stop the two mercenaries. During the heroes' subsequent fight with Rough and Tumble, the Orange Wisps and their fellow Wisps were convinced by Sonic to not let the two villains boss them around. As such, the Wisps in Rough and Tumble's Wispons left them, leaving their arsenal powerless and allowing Sonic and Knuckles to defeat them. Afterward, the now-liberated Orange Wisps decided to stick around and help the villagers defend their town by powering their Wispons.

The Fate of Dr. Eggman
During a trip to one of Dr. Eggman's bases, Whisper and her team of Wisps (the Orange Wisp included) encountered Sonic and Silver. Despite Whisper's mistrust of the strangers, once her Orange Wisp and other Wisps openly greeted Sonic, Whisper chose to team up with the duo. When the newly-formed trio then took on E-107 Theta and a horde of Spinas, Whisper's Orange Wisp came to Whisper's defense when she was at the mercy of the robots. Fortunately, Sonic and Silver destroyed the robots before they could harm them.

Personality
Being Wisps, the Orange Wisps are peaceful, helpful and friendly of nature, and enjoy spending their time with others. They get especially well along with the good people of Sonic's world, whom they will gladly help out whenever they need them.

The Orange Wisps are not much for fighting. However, they are nonetheless brave and good-hearted. As such, they do not approve of amoral behavior and will not stand idly by when their friends need them.

Powers and abilities
The Orange Wisps are able to levitate in midair at will, which serves as their main method of transportation.

The Orange Wisps are able to generate and store their own unique variant of a powerful energy inside their own bodies. The Orange Wisps can as well pass on a fraction of this energy by phasing into the recipient.
