Sonic the Hedgehog (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog)

"When speed is of the essence, I'm the essence of speed."

- Sonic the Hedgehog, "Trail of the Missing Tails"

Sonic the Hedgehog is the main protagonist of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. He is a young teenage hedgehog and a world-famous Freedom Fighter who roams Mobius and battles the evil tyranny of Dr. Ivo Robotnik.

Appearance
Like in the original Sonic the Hedgehog Mega Drive games that lead to the creation of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic is a blue, anthropomorphic hedgehog with a light yellow muzzle and belly. His head and back are covered in quills, which are instrumental in his buzz saw attack. He always wears the same red and white pair of shoes, which are heat-resistant and necessary for his incredible running ability. He also wears gloves and seems to have conjoined eyeballs.

Personality
Sonic is not just quick on his feet but quick witted. Coming up with plans and disguises on the spot, Sonic uses his smarts and impressive speed to trip up the devious Dr. Robotnik.

While Sonic enjoys helping people out, he can get annoyed if someone tries to help him out. He feels that this will land them both in danger, and his temper can get the better of him (like with Captain Rescue). Sonic usually apologizes later though, showing that he doesn't mean to get angry.

Sonic is very overprotective of his young charge, Tails. Tails is quite young so Sonic is the role of big brother and parental figure to him. He does what he can to keep the fox safe and has some rules in place to keep Tails away from his dealings with Scratch and Grounder. He is shown to become angry with Tails when he disobeys these rules and puts himself in danger, indicating how important Tails is to him.

Despite the mischievous attitude he is given in the main show, during the Sonic Sez segments he is illustrated as a responsible role model for the innocent Tails, often dealing advice to the fox when he gets into a difficult situation.

In this series, Sonic has been depicted as being quite the casanova (as referenced through his many love interests listed below).

Powers and Abilities
Sonic can run at extremely fast speeds, assuming he is wearing his specially designed Hi-tops. While his top speed is unknown, he can run fast enough to reach the opposite side of Mobius in less than four minutes and forty-five seconds.

Sonic is capable of curling into a ball and performing a buzzsaw attack which can cut through most objects (similar to the spin dash) though there are various materials that are too hard for him to penetrate such as nuclear forged steel and diamondium laced metal. Sonic is also an incredibly efficient burrower; by cutting into the ground while spinning, he can dig through the underground at such speed that he can burrow directly through Mobius in less than twelve seconds.

Sonic is a master of disguise and often uses a variety of costumes to foil Robotnik's schemes; his disguises are made all the more effective thanks to the extreme gullibility and stupidity of Robotnik's minions.
