Owned By: Anthony Mathis

First Appearance: The Apocalypse 5: Retribution

Info: Sonia The Hedgehog was created by Mephiles The Dark from the DNA of the still-dormant Lightning The Hedgehog. This also means that she is a clone of not just Lightning but also Super Sonic. Despite being a creation of Mephiles, she is a gentle, kind girl who hates the fact that she was created to destroy. She was originally created to infiltrate the Freedom Fighters HQ and lure them to their doom. But because Mephiles gave her a mind of her own, she has control over her actions and is not pure evil. Her one wish is that she had a chance to become a real anthropomorphic female hedgehog and not a creation. She's kind of similar to Smurfette (you know, from The Smurfs?) in this way.

Sonia The Hedgehog in The Apocalypse 6: The Return Of Tek
After leaving the Freedom fighters at the end of The Apocalypse 5: Retribtion, she has an encounter with Tek The Hedgehog (now Tek 2.0) who manages to corrupt her. She joins up with him and the two set out on a quest for vengeance. They travel to The Outlands to recruit the mysterious being who resides there. This mysterious being... well... being Marina The Hedgehog. The three then go out to wage war on the Freedom Fighters. Sonia is now equipped with a multi-bladed whip and not her spiked rope that she used to have. She is more powerful and more skilled than before.

Character Creation: Sonia The Hedgehog
"Sonia came to "life" like all the others. One day during English class, I started drawing a female hedgehog in the position you see to the left, only she was in black and white. I took a couple seconds to think and came up with an idea; she should be in the Apocalypse series. Her personality, even though it's somewhat similar, was not based off of Smurfette. I didn't even see The Smurfs until a year after I came up with Sonia. Her name was not taken from Sonia The Hedgehog from sonic Underground. It was originally going to be Sonnet but that sounded too much like "Sonic" so I changed the "c" to an "a" and got Sonia. It was only after I announced her creation on devaintArt I realized that Sonia The Hedgehog was the name of sonic's sister in Underground. To pay respects to the original, I had my Sonia like music."
