SpeciesHedgehog

Amy Rose[a], originally nicknamed Rosy the Rascal, is a fictional character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, created by Naoto Ohshima and Kazuyuki Hoshino. She is a pink anthropomorphic hedgehog with a driven, competitive personality, who is infatuated with the series' titular protagonist, Sonic the Hedgehog. She serves as the first playable female character in the series, and is Sonic's self-proclaimed girlfriend.

Amy debuted in the Sonic the Hedgehog manga created by Kenji Terada in 1992. Her first video game appearance was in 1993's Sonic CD, and she was first playable in 1994's Sonic Drift; her first playable appearance in the main series was Sonic Adventure (1999). Amy has appeared in several more Sonic games since her debut, sometimes as a playable character. She also appears in comic books and television shows based on the series.

Amy has received mixed opinions from critics; some have found her cute and powerful, while others have criticized her voice acting and personality. She has been cited as an example of a "Ms. Male" character, with her design being similar to a male protagonist but with stereotypical feminine features added.

Design and characteristics

[edit]
Naoto Ohshima, the director of Sonic CD, was influential in Amy Rose's design; specifically, her headband and shoes were chosen based on his tastes

Amy is a pink anthropomorphic hedgehog, created by Naoto Ohshima and Kazuyuki Hoshino for Sonic CD for the Sega CD; despite this, she first appeared in the Sonic the Hedgehog manga, which had debuted in 1992.[1] Originally shown to have long hair with a ponytail, the character was redesigned the next year for Sonic CD, which marks her debut in a video game. Her in-game graphics were created by artist Kazuyuki Hoshino, and many staff members contributed ideas to her design. Her headband and trainer shoes reflected Sonic CD director Naoto Ohshima's tastes, and her mannerisms reflected the traits Hoshino looked for in women at the time.[2]

An early grayscale concept sketch of Amy for Sonic CD shows her very similar to her eventual appearance in the game except for her shoes, which were made larger.[3] Initially, her fur color was red, and her skirt was orange.[4] The character had two other names in game previews: Rosy the Rascal[5] and Princess Sally,[6] the latter of which was also used in the Sonic CD manual in the Sega CD version, causing confusion with a different character from the TV show.[7] The name Rosy the Rascal would later be used for an evil version of Amy from an alternate universe for the Archie comics.[8] Amy received her present design, with a red dress and boots in 1999 with the release of Sonic Adventure.[9] This redesign was done by Yuji Uekawa, as with the rest of the game's characters, to give them a more mature design that would appeal better to Western tastes.[10] To match a different tone in 2014's Sonic Boom, Big Red Button Entertainment wanted her to be a more capable character and stand out from Sonic, to offset her frequent placement on game sidelines. She became more "agile and graceful", able to perform some difficult physical tasks with ease.[11]

Amy is characterized by her cheerful and energetic personality. [12] She has a obsessive crush with Sonic the Hedgehog,[13] and spends much of her time chasing after him,[14] trying to get his attention, or making sure he is safe while demonstrating her affection. While sometimes annoyed by her antics, Sonic does not dislike her. Former Sonic Team head Yuji Naka said that Amy was designed "to always chase Sonic", and has made it her life goal to one day marry him.[15] Like most characters in the Sonic series, Amy can run at superhuman speeds, but cannot keep up with Sonic.[16] She attacks foes with her signature weapon, the Piko-Piko Hammer.[17] In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, she can perform triple jumps.[18] While Sonic CD portrays her as more of a damsel-in-distress, by Sonic Adventure, she is shown to be more independent and able to fend for herself.[19] Amy has also been shown to be intelligent, with her being additionally portrayed as an archaeologist.[20] She also tells fortunes with tarot cards.[21]

Shannon Chan-Kent voiced Amy Rose in the TV series Sonic Prime

In the Japanese language, Amy is voiced by Taeko Kawata.[22] A number of actresses have voiced Amy in the English language. Her first English voice actress was Lynn Harris, who only voiced short audio clips. Jennifer Douillard took over for Sonic Adventure and proceeded to hold onto the role until the mid-2000s. Lisa Ortiz was Amy's voice actress for Sonic X (2003), and Sega made the decision to have the 4Kids voice cast who dubbed the show in English take over the voice cast for the games. Ortiz held the role until 2010, when Cindy Robinson took over the role in games and 2014's Sonic Boom TV series. Robinson announced her departure from the role in 2021 alongside Sonic voice actor Roger Craig Smith,[23] but later voiced Amy in 2022's Sonic Frontiers and 2023's Sonic Dream Team.[22] Shannon Chan-Kent voiced Amy in the TV series Sonic Prime.[24]

Character appearances

[edit]

In video games

[edit]

Amy Rose made her first video game appearance in Sonic CD, where she develops a crush on Sonic, and is kidnapped by Metal Sonic.[6] She appeared as a playable character in the racing games Sonic R,[25] Sonic Drift,[26] and Sonic Drift 2,[27] as well as the fighting game Sonic the Fighters.[28] Amy was meant to make her first playable appearance in the main series in Sonic X-treme before the game was ultimately cancelled.[29]

In Sonic Adventure, Amy is a playable character whose missions involve escaping from one of Doctor Eggman's robots.[30] She also stands up to Sonic at one point to prevent him from attacking E-102 Gamma.[31] Her play style was chosen by director Takashi Iizuka to be more technical and less combat-oriented than that of her fellow protagonists. According to Iizuka, "Hid­ing out of sight from pur­suers, hav­ing to run and hide after an en­emy pops out of nowhere – I wanted this game to have thrills and ten­sion that wouldn’t ex­ist if the playable char­ac­ter was Sonic."[32] Although she is not a playable character in Sonic Adventure 2, Amy plays a role in the plot,[33] and is playable in the two-player mode in the Battle re-release.[34] She leads Team Rose in Sonic Heroes, where she is the "speed" character on the team.[17] Her goal is to find Sonic and make him marry her, while helping fellow team members Cream the Rabbit and Big the Cat find their friends.[31] Amy is a playable character in Sonic Advance, as well as its sequels Sonic Advance 2 and 3.[35] She also appears in 2006's Sonic the Hedgehog,[36] and is a playable character in the RPG game Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (2008).[37]

Amy is featured in non-playable roles in a number of other game plots. She appears with a minor role in Shadow the Hedgehog (2005),[12] Sonic Unleashed (2008),[38] Sonic Lost World (2013),[39] and the "storybook" game Sonic and the Black Knight (2009); in the latter she is the Lady of the Lake.[40] In Sonic Forces (2017), she helps Sonic by communicating to him through a walkie-talkie during the game's levels.[41] The 2023 point-and-click game The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog takes place on Amy's birthday, and features her and the game's characters celebrating with a murder mystery game.[42]

Amy was originally planned to be included as a playable character in 2017's Sonic Mania, but was cut due to time constraints.[43] Amy was originally not playable in any of the included games of 2022's Sonic Origins,[44] but was later included in its Plus expansion as playable with her Piko-Piko Hammer and a super form akin to Sonic the Hedgehog's Super Sonic form.[45][46] She is also a playable character in 2023's Sonic Superstars, and has a unique double-jump move.[47]

She is a playable character in a number of Sonic spinoffs in several genres, including the fighting game Sonic Battle,[48] the racing games Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing,[49] its sequel Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed,[50] and Team Sonic Racing[51] and the Sonic Riders series,[52] as well as the party game Sonic Shuffle.[53] She is also a playable character in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.[54] Amy has also appeared in sports video games outside the series including Sega Superstars Tennis[55] and the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series.[56][57]

In other media

[edit]

Amy is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog manga (1992) by Kenji Terada. Her appearance there predates her first video game appearance in Sonic CD.[58] Amy appears in the American Sonic the Hedgehog series from Archie Comics (1992-2017), as well as the later series by IDW Publishing (2018-present).[8] She is also a character in the British Sonic the Comic (1993-2002), where she wields a crossbow.[59]

Amy is a character in several Sonic TV shows. The anime series Sonic X (2003-2005) includes a developing relationship between her and Sonic.[60] Amy is also one of the five main characters in the computer-generated image series Sonic Boom (2014-2017), along with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and the new character Sticks, the latter of whom she is best friends with.[61] Her personality has been changed into a stronger, more independent role, being a natural-born leader and the backbone of the team.[62] She is also featured in Sonic Prime (2022-2024).[24] Amy starred in Sega's Sonic Mania Adventures animated holiday special in 2018, in which she took pity on the recently-defeated Metal Sonic and returned him to Doctor Eggman.[63][64]

Reception and impact

[edit]

Amy has received a mixed response from critics. While some journalists have called Amy cute and powerful,[9][65][66] others find her annoying.[67][68][69][70] Levi Buchanan of IGN believes that Amy is part of the expanding cast of Sonic characters that, starting with Sonic Adventure, added gameplay that strayed from the series' core mechanics that made Sonic successful.[71]

Jeff Tozai of the HuffPost expressed an interest in "more Amy Rose" from the Sonic series, such as a game featuring her and Tails, in an article critical of the series' overall direction.[72] Jem Roberts of Official Dreamcast Magazine observed Amy as "kind-hearted" but "intolerably whiny".[73] Cindy Robinson's performance as Amy has been criticized, with comparisons to Minnie Mouse's voice.[68] Mean Machines expressed general displeasure at her introduction in Sonic CD.[74] Some journalists have suggested that Amy should be featured in the Sonic the Hedgehog live-action film series.[75][13][76][77]

The developers' treatment of Amy as a female character and its implications for gender representation in video games have also been questioned; the Electronic Gaming Monthly staff found her pink coloring and tendency to run from danger to be stereotypical and common in Japanese-created female characters.[78] In her series Tropes vs. Women in Video Games, feminist blogger Anita Sarkeesian cites Amy as an example of the "Ms. Male character" trope, in which female characters in games with male protagonists often resemble those protagonists, but with stereotypically feminine features added.[79] Similarly, Mark Jason Jimenez Noble of California State University San Marcos used Amy as a "Ms. Male character" example, saying "Sonic is essentially nude with the exception of shoes, yet Amy wears a dress. Nudity poses no problem for the male, but it was suddenly necessary to include a dress to further designate Amy as female."[80] Alice Atkinson-Bonasio, in a paper for Academia.edu, stated "The arrival of Sonic's 'girlfiend,' Amy Rose, completed the gender division of Sonic's world. Her pink hair contrasted with his blue spiky look, reiterating the fact that he had been a boy all along. The main issue would seem to be that the obvious female nature of Amy Rose reaffirms femininity as an exception to the rule, while at the same time making it impossible for Sonic to be interpreted as anything but a male character."[81] By contrast, Blade Moore of Game Rant stated that while Amy has had "creepily obsessive" moments, she has demonstrated compassion and, more recently, developed leadership qualities in the games and comics that serve as a good role model.[82] Amy has also been a subject of progressivism in the episode "Eggman’s Anti Gravity Ray" of animated series Sonic Boom, where Amy talks of breaking a glass ceiling and Knuckles tells her that doing so undermines the concept of gender equality.[83][84][85]
