Hello. I'm Nimue. But most people call me the Lady of the Lake. Come out and see me at the lake sometime.
Nimue (ニミュエ,Nimyue?), more commonly referred to as the Lady of the Lake (湖の貴婦人,Mizūmi no kifujin?), is a character in Sonic and the Black Knight. She is an anthropomorphic hedgehog and the alternate reality doppelgänger of Amy Rose from the world of Camelot. She is a skilled enchantress and former guardian of the sacred swordExcalibur.
At Merlina's behest, Sonic and Caliburn journey to Nimue's home in Deep Woods in their quest to determine how to blunt the power of Excalibur's scabbard. Sonic is predictably unnerved by the Lady's resemblance to Amy Rose, but Caliburn remonstrates the hedgehog and they enter the laketop pavilion.
Nimue handing Excalibur over to Arthur.
Nimue blames herself in part for the present state of England, as she was the one who initially gave Excalibur to King Arthur, only for the power of the scabbard to corrupt the once-noble King. She agrees to help Sonic only if he can prove himself a true and honorable knight who will not be similarly bewitched, and assigns the hedgehog three tasks to demonstrate his chivalry.
After Sonic has completed the first task, liberating King Arthur's prisoners in Camelot Castle, Nimue magically disguises herself as a distraught child whose fellow villagers have been kidnapped by a dragon. The hedgehog's heroism in saving the townspeople convinces the Lady of Sonic's intentions, and she tells Sonic how to negate the scabbard's power using the sacred swords wielded by the Knights of the Round Table.
Unlike her alternate reality counterpart, Nimue is not obsessed with Sonic. She speaks in a gentle tone and is calm, even in very dangerous situations. She often smiles and loves her guests.
