Bravehog

Bravehog is a purple hedgehog and the leader of the Hedgehog Tribe “600 years ago the folk of Mobius lived in separate tribes, at the time it was ruled over by King Leer a hyena who delighted in torturing the other tribes. In those days the different people were reluctant to help each other but they soon learnt that the Hyenas didn’t care who they overrode. However one rebel was willing to stand up to King Leer! Sonic’s ancestor, Bravehog, leader of the hedgehog tribe. When King Leer sent his Hyenas to the Fox Tribe Bravehog appeared at the last moment and fought off the Hyenas. Unfortuantely the foxes weren’t willing to help Bravehog and fled as more Hyenas arrived and captured him. Soon after King Leer arrived and proposed to shave of his spikes for his disobedience however Bravehog’s final speech to the people was so inspirational that the other nations banded together to help save him. United the Tribes soon fought back, inspired by Bravehog’s battle cry. From that day the people of Mobius Lived together.”

600 years later Sonic retold that very story to a masked man fleeing from badniks who wanted to know where Sonic got his nerve from, Sonic replied that it was “In the blood!” Sonic was rightly proud of his ancestors but the Hyena who unmasked himself couldn't say the same. However Sonic consoled the Hyena, it wasn’t his fault his "ancestors were deadheads".

Notes: Inspired by the film Braveheart, quite obviously.
