When New Yoke City was still Green Hill, Rebel Rouge lived there peacefully. One day, the Chaos Council arrived and destroyed Green Hill to build New Yoke City, Rebel managed to save Renegade Knucks. Horrified by their home's destruction, Rebel and Renegade founded the Resistance to take down the Chaos Council. They managed to save one palm tree from Green Hill and kept it in their hideout base.
Season one[]
Rebel and Renegade started watching Sonic the Hedgehog the moment he arrived. Upon realizing he has hope for a better future and he knows Green Hill, Rebel saw Sonic as a potential ally. Later, Rebel and Renegade witnessed Sonic and Nine getting captured. Trying to get them back, Rebel suggests to Knucks that they need to infiltrate the Council's base. Luckily for them, the city suffers a massive power letdown. They take advantage of that to get into the base. Rebel and Knucks rescue Sonic and fight against Rusty Rose.

After Nine reprogramed Rusty Rose to be on their side, the two, Sonic, Rebel and Renegade went on to retrieve the red Prism Shard. Rebel, Renegade and Rusty kept fighting the Eggforcers while Sonic and Nine get the Prism, after touching the Prism, Sonic was summoned to Boscage Maze, then Nine took the Prism, left the Rebel, Renegade and Rusty behind and fled. Renegade managed to take Rebel and flee, while Rusty was automatically reprogrammed back to her original priority (as the Council's slave).

After that, Rebel and Renegade considered Sonic and Nine traitors. When Sonic was summoned back to New Yoke City, Renegade took Sonic to their hidden headquarters and Rebel explained to Sonic everything that happened after he left, and that weeks have passed by since that. She also asked where Nine was, but Sonic didn't know, he promised to make things right. Sonic and the Resistance battled the Eggforcers and the Council, then Nine appeared through a portal and took Sonic to The Grim. Sonic returned a few moments later and fought alongside the Resistance again, but the Council managed to take them down and ordered answers about the Shatterverse. Nine returned to New Toke City and helped them defeat the Eggforcers. Rebel and Renegade were unharmed and Sonic left, accidentally getting summoned to No Place, and Nine was captured by the Council.
Season two[]
Rebel determined to help Sonic, from "A Madness to Their Methods".
When the Chaos Council left New Yoke City to steal the Shards, Rebel and Knucks felt hopeful for once as the citizens were free. However, this wouldn't last too long, as the Council returned with the Shards. Rebel leads the resistance as always and they defeat some robots. Sonic comes back to the place and is happy to see them again. Rebel reminds him that awful things always happens when he is around. She is not eager to help Sonic get to the Yoke, but after seeing the more powerful Eggforcers, she decides to side with the hedgehog and help him in his mission.

Rebel, Knucks and Sonic join forces and work together in an effort to get to the Yoke and retrieve the Shards. Rebel leads them through the subway and the city streets, as they all fight against the new and bigger Eggforcers. They are tricked by the Council and end up meeting Chaos Sonic instead of Nine. Rebel orders Knucks to help Sonic, as she can deal with the robots herself. Later on, the three of them make their way inside the Chaos Council base. When Sonic is attacked by Chaos Sonic again, Rebel saves him by punching the robot. She is later shocked to discover her friend Knucks has a pirate lookalike.
Season three[]
Rebel and Prim team up, from "Dome Sweet Dome".
When the Shatterspaces start to collapse, Rebel and Knucks work hard to keep the citizens safe. She tells Sonic they are taking all of them to the Yoke. However, when Sonic makes a pact with the Council, Rebel has some doubts. But she recognizes that they have no other option, as everything around them is collapsing. When the Council uses Sonic's Prism Energy to create a shield, Rebel and Prim go outside to protect the Yoke from Nine's attacks. The shield is finished just in time, and Rebel and Prim didn't even need to fight Nine's Grim robots. When Sonic realizes some of his friends are still in No Place, he is determined to go there as soon as possible. Rebel stops him, stating that its too risky. Sonic tells her that he would do the same for any of them, which surprises Rebel.

Some time later, Rebel opposes Sonic when he creates a deal with Nine. When the hedgehog leaves for The Grim, Rebel and all the other gather their ships and follow him trough a portal. They engage in fight against Nine's Grim Troopers. Rebel and Knucks are shocked when they think Sails and Mangey sacrificed themselves to defeat some robots, and start arguing with Doctor Deep. Rebel is asked by Sonic to come up with a plan. She proposes a three-pronged assault in order to get Nine off balance. Rebel orders that they make teams of people who are used to working together. Two try to enter Nine's Citadel, one fights in the air, and the New Yoke one goes trough the middle, fighting Grim Troopers. Rebel warns Sonic to stay far from Nine, as she knows Sonic is all he wants.

Rebel and the others go along with this plan, and the battle continues. Things get messy when Nine creates Grim Big, a giant war machine. Rebel is shocked by it, but she still goes along with her plan. Sometime later, she is worried about Prim when Nine attacks her and her teammates after finding out they were trying to reach the top. Rebel then followed Sonic's new plan of pretending to lose the fight. When the Grim Troopers punch her, she stays lying on the ground. When the robots start to fail due to Nine using too much Prism Energy, Rebel stands up and fights back, and orders the others to do the same. She is scared when Grim Big goes back up again, but is then relieved to find out Sails and Mangey were controlling it. She communicates to everyone when the Alpha Grim robots are defeated.
Rebel tells Shadow to not interfere yet, from "From the Top".
Rebel and the others break into Nine's lab while the fox is fighting with Sonic. Nine apologizes to everyone and promises to fix things. Rebel has a hard time trusting him, but is open to see the change. When Sonic is weakened after giving his energy to the Paradox Prism, Rebel is glad he is still alive. She then helps the rest of the New Yoke City variants of Sonic's friends take out the Council and send them to the Void. Rebel says goodbye to Sonic as he is about to leave for the Green Hill Gateway.

Personality[]
Rebel is made from the part of her mainstream counterpart who is a confident leader, and more importantly, the part of her who is not greedy or selfish. She has taken on the task of leading the thinning resistance against the Chaos Council, with hopes of restoring her world to how it used to be. She is kind to others, but once she feels betrayed, she can't hide her anger. However, when things get troubled and decisions have to be made, she has no problem putting her personal issues aside in order to find the best solution to the bigger problem.
Powers and abilities[]
Like her mainstream counterpart, being a bat, Rebel has the ability to fly with her wings. In addition, she is a skilled fighter and possesses enormous strength, as she is capable of carrying Knucks and Eggforcers while flying. As part of the Resistance, she often uses guns to fight as well.

Rebel and Renegade Knucks knew each other before the Chaos Council took over Green Hill. They decided to start a rebellion and fight together, forming the Resistance. They have a great relationship and work very well together. While Knucks seems to question Rebel's ideas sometimes, he still trusts her as the leader and follows her commands. Knucks has issues working with enemies like Nine or the Council, but Rebel is the one to reassure him that they need to put their conflicts aside and work together to find the best solution to their problems.
Sonic the Hedgehog[]
Rebel frustrated with Sonic, from "A Madness to Their Methods".
Rebel was intrigued when Sonic the Hedgehog came to New Yoke City, and knew he would be a great ally. Sonic eventually joined the Resistance, and Rebel considered him an important part of the crew. However, due to Sonic's history of vanishing trough portals, Rebel has a hard time trusting him at first. As time went by, she realized Sonic has a pure heart, and sees him as the hero that he is.
Chaos Council[]
Rebel discusses with Dr. Deep, from "Nine's Lives".
The Chaos Council destroyed Rebel's home and forced her to start a revolution against them. She became the leader of the Resistance with the sole purpose of defeating them and restoring her home to how it used to be. Rebel leads attacks against the Council, with the help of Knucks, Denizen 1998 and Sonic. When New Yoke starts to collapse, she is forced to form a truce with the Council. Despite this, she still argues and doesn't trust them at all. In the end, Rebel and her friends kick the Council trough a portal, sending them to the Void.
Nine[]
Nine gives his word to Rebel, from "From the Top".
Interested in recruiting Sonic for the Resistance, Rebel assumed Nine was his friend. When Rebel and Knucks rescued Sonic and Nine from the Council, they all worked together fighting Eggforcers. Rebel was surprised and disappointed when Nine decided to steal the Shard and leave her and Knucks behind. Since then, she refers to him as a traitor. However, she decides to give Nine a chance when the fox promises to fix the shatterspaces and leave the rebels alone.
