CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Amy Rose Nicknames: Rosy the Rascal (The name "Princess Sally" was given to Amy in the American version of Sonic CD as a half-assed way to initially promote the impending SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog TV series. The actual Princess Sally looks nothing like Amy and the name "Princess Sally" is NOT a nickname of Amy's, nor is it even part of the Sonic Team continuity.)
Race: Hedgehog (Speculation: If you choose to get technical, Amy is most likely an African Pygmy Hedgehog, since that is the most common, well known species of hedgehog.)
Gender: Female Age: 12 years of age Date of birth: Unknown (Amy's DOB is generally confirmed as September 23rd, since that was the release of her first video game. However, it is not canon to the video game storyline, as her true DOB is unknown. If you find it necessary to add her DOB nonetheless, September 23rd would be the most ideal choice.)
Birthplace: Unknown Height: 90 centimeters (2 feet and 11 inches) Weight: Secret (Speculation: After finding the mean in the weight of most of the characters similar to her size and proportions and factoring in age and size, it's safe to assume that Amy's weight is somewhere between 23 to 27 kilograms or so.)
Ability Type: Speed Alignment: Hero Physical Techniques: (1). Spin Attack
Description: While in locomotion, Amy can curl down and take on a fetal position, rolling along the ground as a ball at a very high speed and rate of torque, meant primarily for breaking through barriers, or destroying enemies. However, in her case, Amy uses her Piko Piko Hammer during the attack in order to do any damage.
In-game debut: Sonic Advance 2, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2002
(2). Spin Jump
Description: Also referred to as the "spinball jump," Amy is able to leap into the air and curl into a spinning, tightly compacted ball of destruction which can destroy enemies and break barriers. Again, Amy needs her Piko Piko Hammer to it to be of any use.
In-game debut: Sonic Advance 2, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2002
(3). Step Dash
Description: A technique very similar to Sonic's Super Peel Out, but not nearly as effective. While standing, Amy begins to quickly run in place, revving up her legs at a high speed before accelerating onwards in spinball form along the ground. It seems to be her technique that makes up for her lack of the tried-n'true Spin Dash.
In-game debut: Sonic Advance 2, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2002
(4). Jump Dash/Homing Attack
Description: While airborne in spinball form, Amy can burst forward in a sudden jolt of speed in a linear path enveloped in a pink aura. When an enemy or object is near, the jump can be used to home right into the nearby enemy or object with extreme impact power. Her Piko Piko Hammer is needed to do damage.
In-game debut: Sonic Adventure 2; 2-P mode, Sega Dreamcast, 2001 (it was then an official technique of Amy's in Sonic Heroes)
(5). Tornado Hammer
Description: Amy is able to jump up and swing her titular hammer to stir up a powerful vortex of wind and tiny love hearts that can move forward and sweep up her foes into the air and render them helpless.
Appearance: Sonic Heroes, Nintendo GameCube, Sony PlayStation 2/Microsoft Xbox, 2003
(6). Invisibility
Description: Amy can somehow temporarily turn herself invisible, allowing her to pass enemy eyes unnoticed.
