Ebony (also known as Mystic Mog) is an anthropomorphic black cat with green eyes and a skilled magic-user. She runs a coffee bar named the Groovy Train and is best friends with a slightly senile seer called Pyjamas. She is also a rival of the magician Omen and opposed Doctor Robotnik's dictatorship of Mobius while he was in power.
History
Ebony learned magic through fifteen years of dedication and personal sacrifice.[1] At some point she met and developed a rivalry with Omen, who believed his magic was superior to hers.[2]
Ebony and Pyjamas attended a protest against Robotnik's destruction of the park in the Metropolis Zone, hoping to save the sentient Ancient Trees that grew in the park. When the protesters were accosted by Troopers, she used her magic to fight them off, and was aided by Knuckles the Echidna.[1] She soon encountered her old rival Omen,[3] but he managed to defeat her with a new spell he had learned, trapping her with green tendrils that sprang out of the ground. She was saved when Knuckles convinced the Ancient Trees that some "flesh creatures" were worth saving, leading them to use their powers to throw Omen and his gorilla henchmen out of the park.[2]
After Robotnik was overthrown, she took in the homeless Super Sonic in his pacifistic phase and tried to hide him from both the law and Lord Sidewinder's thugs. Despite her knowledge of what Super Sonic truly was, she was convinced that he had made a genuine change, ultimately putting her at odds with Sonic and his team. When Super Sonic began to die from a loss of Chaos Energy, Ebony helped him to recharge by bringing him to face the monstrous Perfect Chaos, confident that the power would not bring back his insane rage. When Super Sonic was transformed back into a raging demon, Sonic convinced her to rejoin the two hedgehogs once more.
In Sonic The Comic Online,Ebony next to Sonic and Porky goes the Underwater City to help the Dakons to prevent that the city is verwhelmed freeing Tikal and withholding the Villainous Zacary Doctor. Ebony then decides to help Tikal to restore its health (Tikal was completely insane person) although the initial refusal of Knuckles in using this resource but thanks to this resource its mind is restored. After this Ebony is seen in Metropolis Park fighting the Badniks de Robotnik.
