Lady Walrus

"My baby!"

- Lady Walrus, "Beyond the Valley of the Cubots"

Lady Walrus is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom franchise. She is an anthropomorphic dowager walrus and a resident of Bygone Island. She is also a board member of the Archipelago Homeowners Association.

Appearance
Lady Walrus is a humanoid and somewhat heavily build walrus, almost a head taller than Sticks. She has violet fur with a single hair curl on her forehead and a large bust and belly. She also has peach skin on her wide muzzle and around her eyes, small tusks, a black snout and purple eyes. Her attire consist of a grayish-blue dress with a brown waist string with pearls, white cuff-less gloves and high-heeled shoes, a necklace with white and pink jewels resembling pearls, a gold bracelet and a small white bonnet. For more formal attire, she wears a more vibrantly colored version of her dress and jewels, a green waist string, light blue high-heeled shoes, and purple eye shadow.

In the Archie Comics, Lady Walrus' dress is colored yellow and her muzzle is more peach in color. Also, her hair curl is white and her eyes mistakenly fluctuates between green and yellow.

TV series
When the Anti-fire Bot attacked, Lady Walrus' baby was nearly put into a burning house by the evil machine. Fortunately, Sonic came to the rescue, and Lady Walrus was happily reunited with her child. When the Awardy Awards where being held, Lady Walrus was one of the attendees where she did not take kindly to Sticks' blunt honesty. At the height of the evening, Lady Walrus and the rest were attacked by Dr. Eggman's robots when the doctor did not get the award. Team Sonic soon beat Eggman though, and Lady Walrus returned to the gala. As the days went by, Lady Walrus would find time to visit Meh Burger with her baby, talk around the village and begrudgingly listening to Orbot and Cubot's terrible street performance, and pay a visit to T.W. Barker's Circus of Wonders.

Lady Walrus would later joined the jury to monitor the trial between Sonic and Eggman, the latter who was suing Sonic. When Lady Walrus and the jurors had deliberated and had their verdict ready though, Eggman was revealed to be fine, thus rendering their decision moot. As she later visited the Village, Lady Walrus found Dr. Eggman selling his very own tomato sauce which Sonic unwillingly proved to Lady Walrus and the villagers was not poisoned as he thought (although it was still part of an evil scheme). During her other visits in the Village, Lady Walrus was exposed to a painful noise caused by Eggman when Sonic passed through, and would later visit Meh Burger again. She and the other villagers were later attacked by Eggman's rampaging robots, deployed by the Lightning Bolt Society, but both Team Sonic and Eggman ended up saving them.

When later at Meh Burger for food, Lady Walrus got caught in the competition between Chez Amy and Meh Burger. She and the villagers regularly switched between these establishment, depending on their gimmicks, before settling at Chez Amy until Eggman destroyed it. Not long after, Lady Walrus met Swifty the Shrew in the village and took a liking to the hip shrew, especially after he saved her baby from yet another mortal peril. Lady Walrus thus rooted for Shifty in his race against Sonic, who lost to the shrew and got banished from the Village in accordance to the law. However, Lady Walrus was betrayed by Swifty when Eggman revealed he was his robot agent. As Swifty copies tore the Village down, Sonic came to Lady Walrus and the villagers' rescue after being unbanished and got rid of Eggman's forces.

Lady Walrus eventually made her way to the yard sale at Sticks' Burrow where she was able to purchase a "stump-helmet" from Amy despite protests from Sticks. When Knuckles later served as deputy mayor, Lady Walrus got him to approve the construction of a moving sidewalk for the Village. However, when it broke down, she refused walk since her taxes had paid for it. A few days after being at Meh Burger with her child, Lady Walrus came to the premiere of Eggman's movie at Eggman's lair. During the movie though, Lady Walrus learned it was meant to enslave the audience with hypnotism, but had failed due to an error on Eggman's part. Lady Walrus and the audience thus left.

While at Meh Burger, Lady Walrus heard Sonic call Mike the Ox "just a guy" and thought Sonic was being insensitive. With Lady Walrus joining a mob of fellow-minded villagers, this escalated into an uproar that made Sonic retire. However, when Lady Walrus and the villagers got harassed by the Lightning Bolt Society, Lady Walrus' pleas to Sonic for help fell on deaf ears. Lady Walrus soon after nearly lost her baby to a sheep stampede, but Sonic returned to save it. After he got both the stampede, Lightning Bolt Society and a surprise attack from Eggman under control, Lady Walrus saluted Sonic as she realized she was wrong about him. No sooner though, she was insulted by Willy Walrus. Another time when she visited Tails' Workshop, Lady Walrus could relate to Tails' distress over losing his beloved tools, before noticing to her shock that her eldest child was in trouble.

At New Year's Eve, Lady Walrus came to the party in the Village Center where she shared a dance with a fellow villager. During this, Dr. Eggman used his Slow Motion Machine to slow down time long enough for him to beat Sonic in something before New Year, though Lady Walrus did not see Eggman's victory as it happened too fast for her to notice it. When the Justin Beaver fever hit the Village, Lady Walrus got turned into a mindless Justin fan girl and consumer by Justin's mind control music. At a fan signing, Lady Walrus fainted when she got Justin's autograph, but recovered in time to buy his merchandise. Lady Walrus later came to Justin's concert where he and Dreamboat Express had a sing-off, where Lady Walrus got freed from the mind control by the latter.

When Lady Walrus took a scroll on the beach with Lady Goat, they were both charmed by Knuckles with his manliness. She later saw Tails perform a dating dance in the Village Center and had a good laugh from it, but then had to flee as Eggman's robots attacked, whom Tails stopped. Another time, Lady Walrus and her "bro" Dave the Intern came the auditions for Bro-Down Showdown and were chosen to participate. Thanks to their good relationship and well-timed disqualifications, Lady Walrus and Dave won the grand prize: a new couch, although they quickly stained it. When Knuckles achieved celebrity status with his trash can trend, Lady Walrus were among the villagers adoring him during his fame.

As Lady Walrus joined a tour of Eggman's lair, she saw Sonic being accused of thievery. When her jewels got stolen by what appeared to be Sonic, Lady Walrus joined an angry mob at the town hall where Knuckles promised to bring in Sonic. Lady Walrus later got her stuff back when Sonic returned them and proved it was Eggman's doing. Lady Walrus later came to the Robot Battle Royale to watch the tournament (and possibly to see her son compete), where she saw Eggman steal Tails' Hypno-bot at the end.

While celebrating with the Archipelago Homeowners Association, Lady Walrus and her group learned from a Crab Bot that Eggman housed robots. Since it violated regulations, they threatened Eggman with eviction, who thus invited them to a dinner at his lair to prove he had no robots. Despite Eggman's attempts though, Lady Walrus and her group saw his robots, making Eggman imprison them until Team Sonic rescued them. Lady Walrus and her group subsequently let Eggman go after he convinced them his robots were art, which the rules permitted.

Boom Shaka-laka
In the Village Center, Lady Walrus ignored Dr. Eggman when he offered her a bridge. Later, Dr. Eggman tried to approach her, but she assume he was after her baby, and her distress made the other villagers beat him up.

Lady Walrus later went to the Eggtoberfest, hosted by Eggman, with her child, where they discovered the rides were not operation, but the angry mob formed as a response made Eggman fix it. No sooner though, Lady Walrus and her child were attacked by Eggman's army when the doctor became hostile with the villagers' dislike of him. Thankfully, Team Sonic saved Lady Walrus' child and got rid of the robots.

Personality
Lady Walrus is a woman with strong maternal instincts, showing both great affection for her children and worry about their well-being. While she may not have the best grip on children safety, she nonetheless tries to be a responsible parent. She is also rather dignified as she is formally offended when receiving what she perceives as negative comments on her looks. Somewhat archaic, she has a preference for manly and macho men.

As a member of the Archipelago Homeowners Association, Lady walrus is described as a "ruler lover", meaning she strictly follows and upholds the regulations which she knowns thoroughly. She also appear to be somewhat of a glutton as she hoarded a whole plate of shrimp puffs for herself.

Lady Walrus is shown to be very stubborn, refusing to walk after her moving sidewalk broke down since she had paid her taxes to get this gimmick.
