Official Characters
Sonic the Hedgehog- The world's fastest hedgehog and title hero of the series. He is sassy, courageous and charming, endowed with super speed and a love of freedom. The most active and confident of the group, Sonic hates boredom and is always on the look-out for fun and adventure. Sonic can be impatient, cocky and impulsively reckless at times. However, he is very selfless and direct in dangerous cicumstances and possesses a deep sense of duty. He holds a personal grudge against the Doctor and understands his responsibility to protect the world from this menace. In addition to his speed, Sonic can also perform a variety of special moves and attacks, including the spin dash (in which he rolls up like a bowling ball), the homing attack (which allows him to home in on enemies while in midair), and can use his spines like a buzzsaw to cut through solid objects with incredible ease, speed, and precision. But has a severe case of Aquaphobia, being terrified of water as he cannot swim.

Miles Tails Prower- A talented fox with two tails who serves as a younger brother figure to Sonic and a sidekick. He idolizes Sonic and tries to fallow his heroism by the book, to the point of imitating his every action. Tails is brave, resourceful, friendly  and very caring towards his friends; acting as their leader. He displays few leadership skills, mechanics and heroic athletics, has very low self-esteem, and generally regards himself as clumsy in spite of his good intentions. Though he is the most inexperienced, he has an inherently high intellect and has proven himself to be a confident. Tails is a skilled aviator who often pilots a transforming biplane with battle-mech capabilities called the “Tornado”. He can also twirl his twin tails to fly like a helicopter, but is easily prone to high winds and exhaustion.

Knuckles the Echinda- The lonesome guardian of the Master Emerald who resides on Angel Island and Sonic's friendly rival. Stubborn and tough, Knuckles is highly protective of his island home and takes his responsibility seriously. He lived most of his life in seclusion, making him something of a loner. Knuckles has a friendly rivalry with Sonic, constantly bickering over whom is the better fighter. Although he is honest and determined in battle, his short-sightedness and fearsome temperament makes him highly gullible (often instigated by the trickery of Dr. Eggman), which gives rise to situations in which he begins fighting the Firefly Fighters. He is also highly conceited, believing himself to be better than everyone else around him and willfully ignorant of evidence to the contrary. While tough, Knuckles is also incompetent at his job and holds long grudges over the smallest slight, yet will never admit his own failings. He also has a terrible memory (his perception of himself is so strong that he can alter his own memories of past events to suit his needs). Knuckles is shy around girls and hesitates to interact with them. Knuckles is very strong; his spiked fists are capable of smashing through boulders as well as allowing him to climb walls. The nature of his echidna spikes allow him to glide in the air for periods of time. With his fierce determination, there's no obstacle that can withstand his strength.

Amy Rose- Amy is self-appointed “girlfriend” of Sonic. Her most recognizable character trait is her tough, skeptical and proud demeanor, which masks her more caring, cheerful and optimistic. Amy tries her best to show no fear, often bragging about her accomplishments and courage, and has great difficulty showing weakness; but is still prone to jealousy. At times, Amy can be very hotheaded and gets into fights easily, often misinterpreting small comments for criticism. Her lessons frequently revolve around not jumping to conclusions, especially in judgment of others. She also has a hard time adjusting to loneliness and feels self-assured by the company of her friends. Amy enjoys fortune-telling, and paranormal phenomena. However, her predictions are usually not accurate. Amy possesses extraordinary strength and can smash enemy forces down with her trusty Piko Piko Hammer, which packs quite the wallop and has a highly accurate aim - hardly missing its target - but lacks control and is a real danger to her enemies, and sometimes her friends.

Cream the Rabbit- A sweet, caring, and innocent girl who loves to hang out with her best friends. Raised by her mother to be good, Cream is well-behaved and very polite. She tries to make peace during group conflicts, but is also very naive, to the point that she is mystified and confused whenever she finds herself feeling anger and stress. Despite her young age, Cream is not afraid to stand up for herself. Outgoing and positive, she gives her best at everything and is always full of curiosity. Through the course of the series, Cream's naivety is often taken advantaged by other characters, each having their own agendas. Cream becomes more and more aware of the dangers of life and even sets out to rescue her friends from certain threats which give her the earnings to become more mature. Cream can fly using her large ears and has some skill in healing magic, which often helps out on Tails' missions. Cream's best friend is a Chao called Cheese (which she also uses as a projectile).

Mina Mongoose- Mina is Sonic's close friend. She was rescued by Sonic and convince Manic to be her roommate. e grows closer to Manic and develop to have feelings for him.

Mina has super speed which is the match to Sonic's. While she doesn't quite match up to Sonic or Tails in terms of speed, she is fast enough to require training from Sonic to keep from seriously injuring herself whilst sprinting. Mina has also demonstrated that she can be quite good with kids, has a very good babysitting skills.

Manic the Hedgehog- Manic is one of Sonic's best friends. He ends up living with Sonic as his own devoted adoptive brother. He's respected and loved by nearly every kid in the city. He laughs at all forms of authority, preferring to engage in more crooked activities like gambling and vandalizing. Upon joining the Freedom Fighters, they disapproved of his lifestyle, though his thieving skills and mastery with lock-picking and computer hacking is greatly needed. Manic is incredibly adventurous and daring. When it comes to rescuing his friends, he is far more heroic than any adult can be. Having took the "easy road" to success, Manic never attended school. As a result, despite his cunning and persuasiveness, he can barely read or write. Though his abilities are often underestimated due to his position, Manic shows an unparalleled level of sensitivity to the feelings of those around him; and as a result, he gets defensive whenever someone's background is criticized. He hates getting upset and having to be strict; even when the situation requires him to be so. Manic is skilled in geokinesis, which can manipulate earth and generate earthquakes. He also rides on a hoverboard, which acts like a skateboard/surfboard.

Blaze the Cat- A tough princess from her dimension and guardian of the Sol Emeralds. Born into the royal family, she is elegant, somewhat shy, and tends to hide her real feelings.

Blaze already known about the true meaning of friendship from Sonic and friends and becomes a good company which makes her very kindhearted and gentle. Blaze’s main ability is her pyrokinesis, the ability to create and control fire in any way she desires.

She aspires to become the captain of her own ship so she can travel the world, but can be quite the handful. During her adventures with Sonic though, she has matured and has sworn to grow more up. She also has a habit of exaggerating and embellishing, often to make herself seem more important or talented; as such, she tends to strike others as annoying. Nevertheless, she generally means well and cares deeply for her friends, and can be counted upon when needed. Marine has some sort of power that lets her project white energy blasts from her fists. It states that she has aquakinesis, to create and control water. She is also a very fast runner, able to keep up with even Sonic, though she lacks the stamina to keep it up.

But he is also friendly, thoughtful, and steadfast. Due to his mellow nature, he doesn't like to fight; but whenever his friends are in danger, he will fight to protect them.

While he may seem like he's always about the money, Vector has a strong sense of justice and kindness, despite his argumentativeness. He often does unpaid work due to his charitable nature, leaving the agency in debt and constantly short on money, which tends to strike others as annoying.
