Sonic the Hedgehog [Close friend/Crush, Seventeen]
Amy's unrequited childhood heartthrob, they met by chance when Metal Sonic decided she would be the most convenient hostage at Stardust Speedway. For years afterward, she thought of him and soon enough began chasing after him, despite what trouble the Blue Blur often got caught up in. It has only been in the recent years since they parted that her infatuation has calmed, but it is evident since her last meeting with True Blue that she has not completely dismissed her feelings.
Miles "Tails" Prower [Close Friend, Twelve]
Amy met Tails by uncanny luck a few years after the Metal Sonic incident. At first seen as just a potential way of bridging the gap between her and Sonic, the pink hedgehog slowly grew fond of the young prodigy. They have become even closer through the incidents they have gone through together in the past couple years. Sometimes they can not stand each other, but in the end, Amy knows she can depend on him if she's in a fix and vice versa. Sometimes due to his age though, she can act more like a sister than a friend. She hasn't seen him until just very recently.
E-102 Gamma [Friend, Unknown, Deceased]
Inside the cold heap of scrap metal, Amy found a warm, compassionate being. When she was captured and taken aboard the Egg Carrier, she convinced him to release her and they fled together. Ultimately, it took Gamma's sacrifice to save her from the clutches of Zero, who had been after her the whole time, intent on taking the chaos emerald from "Birdie", her flicky friend. She holds high respect for him and perhaps misses him from time to time.
Knuckles the Echidna [Acquaintance? Friend?, Eighteen]
Although often hearing stories about the guardian through Sonic and Tails, Amy didn't official meet the 'knucklehead' until the Chaos incident. It's been some years since yet she really doesn't know all that much about him; she wouldn't mind seeing him again though. For the time they have spent together in the past, they seem to have a love, hate relationship.
Shadow the Hedgehog [Acquaintance, Fifty+]
Amy and Shadow met in a very abrupt and embarrassing situation where she mistook him for her crush, Sonic. For a while, she had a great dislike for him and who could blame her? It was obvious he was up to no good and working for Robotnik didn't help his case. Yet, when everything was crashing down on them, she summed up the courage to go to him and convince the dark hedgehog that the Earth was worth saving. Unknown to her, this reminded of Maria's last wish and he set off to do what was right. For his sacrifice, Amy has high respect for him. Amy has since been unexpectedly reacquainted with him in an astounding turn of events and is still a little unsure if he's even for real.
Rouge the Bat [Acquaintance, Nineteen]
Despite running into her on a few occasions during the ARK incident, Amy really has never developed much of a relationship with Rouge. While she isn't pleased with her prior escapades and her lifestyle certainly was not something she ever approved of, the air more or less cleared by the end of all their troubles on Colony ARK. She has had no communication with her since however.
Tifa Mysteria & MTP [Friends]
Amy's first independently made friend since Gamma. While her first impression was a terrible one at that towards the poor spaniel, these two have become good friends since. Amy's learned a couple new skills from her and been able to spread her wings under Tifa's cautious eye. The sudden uncovering of she and MTP's secret though has left Amy wary of the two.
Mathias Greyer [Close Friend]
Shortly after signing up for GUN, Amy ended up under the wing of Mathias, or Slick. While at first the two couldn't stand one another, they later forged a strong bond when they were stranded in the Mystic Ruins and later took on one of Sarath's ships together along with a few new companions. Soon after that incident though, Amy resigned from GUN. She hasn't seen him since, but she fears that something terrible may be brewing for her higher up after hearing from Cutter, one of her ex-squad mates.
Cutter and Boomer [Friends]
Her ex-squad mates. For as brief as she knew them, she learned a lot from them. While she has seen Cutter in recent, Boomer has been out of sight since her resignation.
Jack [Friend]
After an abrupt meeting during Sarath's invasion, Amy quickly came to enjoy the company of this odd, elastic hedgehog. While she hasn't known him for long, it's perhaps because of his mellow temperament and his loyalty he showed towards her upon Chadin's attack that quickly gained her trust.
Tutley Sakamoto [Friend]
Amy always thought of Tutley as an oddball ever since she first met him. Not necessarily in a bad way, but she just doesn't know where half his babbling comes from. Despite this and his hammer theft at one point, Amy ended up befriending this poor sucker-for-sweets and actually hired him out for bag duty during her last shopping spree. Anyone willing to put up with her after that is good in her books.

|::Hobbies::|

Amy is a strong advocate for shopping to her heart's desire. Of course, lately it's been window shopping, but she hopes for that to change soon enough.
A recent trend she has found lately is studying up on history, especially when concerning the military. With a thirst for the knowledge prior to joining GUN, she really hit the books the past two years.
Becoming a hair-dresser for a period of time, Amy has grown to enjoy her newly realized talent of making someone's sloppy 'do into a work of art with the snip of her scissors. Just don't catch her in a bad mood with those on hand.

|::Habits::|

Amy has a very bothersome habit of biting her lip when she's nervous. In extreme cases, she will make herself bleed without even realizing it.
Although she has mellowed out some, the pink hedgehog still has a very distinct way of letting the perpetrator know when she is agitated by profoundly grinding her teeth. It's a tall tale sign that if someone does not knock it off, there will be consequences, often involving her hammer.
Speaking of which, although she has reduced this habit substantially, there are still cases where she will pull out her hammer on those who are unlucky enough to cross the line. This usually results from crude comments made about Sonic, although not so much recently.

|::Personality::|
A spunky, optimistic individual.
From first impressions, Amy can either be considered a great ally or someone to be feared. Of course, this depends on which side of the hammer they're on. When this hedgehog acts, she means business. She might not be the most rational of the group, but no doubt can she be inspirational, albeit in a frightening, "I'm glad I'm on her side" notion. She often times is very outspoken. If there's something to be said, she's going to say it whether someone likes it or not.

Amy has also been known to be very obsessive. If she makes a goal for herself, this hedgehog will do anything and everything to achieve it. It doesn't matter who or what gets in her way as expressed in her persistent chases after Sonic and her undying resilience towards Zero. This is yet another characteristic of hers that is either envied or looked down upon.

The teenage hedgehog also has a well known temper. Set her off and there's no turning back. A hammer rampage follows suit, or so it used to go...

The past two years have really shaped Amy into a calmer, and some people perhaps say more respectable individual. Her temper has come to more of a middle ground and she has found herself to be more level headed in at least controlled situations where she feels she has the upper hand. A lot of this mellowing out perhaps came out of her withdrawal from Sonic and making friends of her own. Most of her previous friends were made through the blue blur and despite the great relationships that came out of them, Amy has always been under-confident about making friends by herself. Not that she'll admit to such a statement.

She still finds herself easily agitated by the people around her and quick to defend herself with a sharp, forward tongue. Her hammer rampages have become less than common now though, most of it due to the incident that occurred in poor Tifa's shop. This has caused her to slow down a little and try to think before she acts.

Still though, Amy is overall a very resilient and strong individual. In recent times, she feels an unyielding passion to prove herself to the world though. Most of it stems from the continuous incidents where she has been held hostage. Amy wants nothing but to be an asset to the team, not a hindrance. This has been plaguing the back of her mind the past couple years, sometimes bringing her to tears; like she would admit to that fact though.

In a nutshell, this hedgehog is one tough cookie who loves like no other and just wants to see to the protection of her friends.

|::Appearance::|
Amy generally does care about her appearance. She keeps her soft pink fur well kept, although it's no surprise that it dirties fast when she's out to save the world with her friends. Her muzzle, arms, and belly are the only bare areas on her body, creamy tan skin showing. Large, lively green eyes of a lighter shade than Sonic's are her most striking feature, coupled with her neatly trimmed quills, styled often by Tifa with highlights on their tips.

A black T-shirt hugs her torso snugly. In the center of the ebony fabric, an abstract neon fuchsia heart resides. A short violet plaid skirt hangs at her waist, a pair of short shorts sewn into it to disperse of prying eyes. A pair of golden bracelets made with ring substance are worn on her wrists. Unknown to most people, these are the reason why she can easily retrieve her hammer out of seemingly nowhere. She expects that they were the last parting gift from her family, although her foster parents told her very little about them.

[Image: Sonicjam_amy_32.png]

Amy's past is not often something she concerns herself with and thus not something she commonly speaks about. Prior to the Metal Sonic incident, she lived a fairly ordinary life. Or as normal as you can get living on a planet that only appears for thirty days out of each year. However nomadic her life could be assumed to be though, Amy, then calling herself "Rosy the Rascal", was an advocate for adventure. This became especially true when she began to hear of stories about a blue hedgehog famous for his break-neck speed and unimaginable ability to stop the notorious Dr. Robotnik. Of course, these were told to her like fairy tales. The people of Little Planet were not ones to meddle in the affairs outside their planet. Still, Rosy could not help but be consumed in them, often times finding herself daydreaming of this cerulean savior. Part of this was arguably due to her lack of real parents, having been more or less raised by everyone in the surrounding neighborhood.

Then it happened. The dreamtale she had grown up with burst with enlightening truth as a looming figure appeared one day above her village. This silhouette was of a hedgehog, blue at that. But there was one thing exceedingly wrong about the situation; he was up to no good. He destroyed their home and cornered the villagers. Some were lucky enough to be killed for what would happen next. Reinforcements soon arrived, frightening robotic creatures that were once only dreamed up in tall tales. Rosy herself was chosen by random to be the bait. For who, she knew not. To her, the story of a heroic hedgehog had fallen to shambles at the appearance of none other than Metallix. Taken far away from home, she soon found herself seeing the ends of another village on the planet as gleaming red eyes flickered mockingly. More metallic monstrosities overtook the prior homeland, beginning to construct what could only be presumed as a base. Rosy watched helplessly, feeling this was truly the end for Little Planet.

But there was hope for her yet. From out of the sky, shooting through the air like a bullet, a blue blur crashed into the previously distracted metal hedgehog. Metallix slid back from the impact, still in tact. But it was safe to say he was ticked. Rosy, on the other hand, peered in awe. Catching himself by a planted hand to the ground before rebounding back onto his feet was none other than the blue hedgehog from the very fairy tales she heard of: Sonic the Hedgehog. He'd come to her rescue! Of course, Metallix appeared like he had other business to attend to. Sonic's robotic counterpart sicked his metal brothers on the hedgehog before shooting off, Rosy in tow.

From then on, it was a constant chase. Metallix always seemed to be one step ahead of his inspiration, but he was quickly running out of places to go and minions to use as cannon fodder. On top of that, Sonic always appeared to get to the time stones just a split second before he did. When it finally came down to him and True Blue, they had arrived at Stardust Speedway. There, Rosy saw made her first encounter with Dr. Robotnik. Sonic was forced to agree to a race to save Rosy's life if he won; if not, the mad doctor had all intent to use his death ray on him. Safe to say, Sonic had no intention of dying that day and she was rescued while Metallix, reduced to a scrap heap.

With her safe and sound, Sonic used the time stones to rewrite time and rid of the bases that had been populating the planet. Then he was gone just as soon as he had come. Rosy was disappointed and from that day on vowed to see him again. Despite all her fears, the hostage situation had opened her mind to all sorts of new thoughts and feelings. For one, a mild crush she had developed from the tale was now expanding. It would only be a few years later until it became a full fledge obsession, although she knew not at the time. For another, it had inspired her to want to go out and see what was beyond her home.

And so she would some years later. Fortune smiled on her; left in the bank by her parents was a more than generous amount of money her foster parents eventually told her about when they felt she was old enough. Rosy, now going by her true name, Amy, decided it was time for her to leave home and go out and see the world. She secretly hoped she would see Sonic again. Her foster parents were uneasy about her idea, but Amy would not hear it and so they sought a middle ground: a promise that she would stay in touch by writing them letters when she had the chance and if she ever got into any deep trouble, to return to them. Then, she was given a pair of bracelets of which her foster mother told her would come in handy and they bid their farewells.

So, Amy set off into the world. For a couple years, everything was paradise. Her furious passion for shopping began. It was almost an every day occurrence. A wardrobe change occurred. The pink hedgehog also came to notice just how well known Sonic was outside of Little Planet. He was constantly on the front page of the newspapers when Dr. Robotnik brewed trouble. It excited her to be continuously informed about her idol and crush. Still, she had enough common sense to avoid those bad situations and if all else failed, her newly acquired hammer kept her safe and sound. Amy got herself a post office box in Station Square and wrote to her foster parents like she had promised, but as time went on, Amy began to write less and less. Most of it was due to their constant disagreement between her and her foster parents. They really wanted her to come home, but she refused.

Yet it wouldn't be long until she was thrown into her own adventure, despite herself. On one bright day, the sun was suddenly blocked by the silhouette of none other than the Egg Carrier. Amy had heard stories of it before but it was not until then that she had actually witnessed it for herself. And then from the sky fell a flicky. Before she knew it, Amy had been drawn into a fight of her own. Apparently, Dr. Robotnik really wanted who she now called 'Birdie" back and his robotic menace, Zero, wouldn't take 'No' for an answer. She tried her best to protect her new friend, but in the end she was captured and taken aboard the Egg Carrier. With luck though, she convinced the robot guarding her, E-102 Gamma, to release her and they made for an escape.

It was during this that she was reunited with her former savior and unrequited heartthrob, Sonic. Unfortunately, they had little time to reminisce as Amy was quickly finding out there was a much bigger danger than Zero: apparently, Dr. Robotnik had decided once again he was going to try to make Station Square into his "Eggman Empire" and this time he had freed an ancient monster to help him out: CHAOS. Thus, it turned into a race against the creature to collect the emeralds before he did. All the while, Amy once again was chased by Zero until finally she was cornered and had to defend herself. And fight back she did, managing to clean his clock. In a last ditch effort to take her life, however, her friend Gamma took the blow instead. Poor Amy watched as the first friend she had made since Sonic perished. To make things worse, she soon found out that Chaos had managed to gain all seven chaos emeralds and was in a rampage at Station Square, flooding the city.

But not all was lost. Using the positive energy of the emeralds, Sonic was able to take on his super form. Amy stood aghast of this new sight; she had heard the stories but to actually see it before her very eyes made her all the more enchanted by Sonic. And as stories typically went, the blue blur managed to defeat evil and save the world again. Unfortunately, around the end of that year, she received a letter from her foster parents. Apparently, they had found out she had been associated in the fight and demanded for her to return. Amy's letters finally ceased. As much as she loved them, Amy would not give up her life outside Little Planet.

She helped restore Station Square to its prior glamor before Chao's attack using what money she could spare from her bank account. It took months, but the city slowly returned to its former state of glory. Life went back to normal for her then. Amy would make occasional visits to Tails' workshop, but she rarely if ever saw Sonic again. Robotnik was never one to stay quiet for long though.

Another Earth-shaking disaster hit the city. It all began when Robotnik infiltrated a top secret military base, releasing a hedgehog by the name of Shadow, who had been in stasis for fifty years. Upon the doctor's wish, he began to collect the chaos emeralds. What at first seemed like one of Robotnik's usual petty schemes consisting of framing Sonic and sending one big, bad badnik after another turned out to be more dangerous than ever before. This was exemplified by the use of the eclipse canon aboard the Lost Colony ARK in the deep reaches of space. He made the moon a distinguishable example. With the canon as such a substantial threat, Robotnik demanded the president to resign and the rise of his empire or else the Earth would suffer the same fate as the moon.

Of course, Sonic wouldn't let that happen. Shortly after Amy helped free him from Prison Isle, after her initial embarrassment of mistaking Shadow for Sonic prior, she followed him up to ARK. It was there that the eclipse cannon was put to a stop. Sonic, Tails, and the rest of the heroes that had gathered quickly worked together to prevent the cannon from firing. In the chaos, Amy managed to convince Shadow through her words, and although she did not know it herself, remind him of Maria's true dying wish. With his help, they stopped the cannon and defeated Project SHADOW's prototype.

Unfortunately, Robotnik's grandfather, Gerald, had foreseen this coming and devised his true intentions to activate afterwards. The colony began to free fall on a collision course with Earth, the biolizard merging with the colony itself. Amy watched in awe and horror as the combined forces of Super Sonic and Super Shadow finally defeated their final hazard. They then used a joint chaos control to warp the colony safely away from Earth. In the process, Shadow, weakened from the fight, plummeted towards the Earth's atmosphere, ending his tragic life.

Two years have passed since the ARK incident. During that time, Amy started running low on her funds. Her pride wouldn't allow her to return to her foster parents so easily though. Instead, she began searching the city for "Now Hiring" signs. If she couldn't live off her savings anymore, she'd work for a living like everyone else. Easier said than done.

It soon became evident to her that no one would hire a fourteen year old. Not even her association with Sonic helped. While most were apologetic, some store owners downright laughed in her face. These owners often suffered a hammer rampage before they kicked her out. Amy had lost all hope until she took notice of a hair salon. She had never seen it before and soon found out that the founder and sole employee there, Tifa Mysteria, had just opened shop not even a week before.

When Tifa explained to her the same rules and regulations that every other employee had argued, Amy snapped. By the end of her temper tantrum, poor Tifa's shop was in complete disarray. The spaniel herself stood in completely shock, slowly formulating the argument Amy had pressed in screams while wielding her over-sized hammer.

Tifa sternly made note that if Amy continued to display such an attitude, she would never get anywhere with what she asked. Then, lightening up, the spaniel offered a compromise. If Amy agreed to part of her weekly salary going towards repairs, Tifa would employ her. Amy was surprised and quickly apologized for her actions, promising she would work on her temper.

Amy took to Tifa's training with great enthusiasm. She quickly learned the in's and out's of everything that made someone a hair dresser. Although Amy knew she would never be as good as Tifa, this new skill filled the void of uselessness that she had felt for a while when she hadn't had a job. She also befriended Tifa's flighty fiancé, Martin, and her fifteenth birthday came and went with much celebrating and a wardrobe change, compliments of Tifa.

Falling into a life of routine just didn't seem to be of Amy's tastes though. Coupled with her current reputation, she couldn't ease the tension within herself. She didn't want to be noted as Sonic's love-crazy fangirl or the hammer-frenzied, clueless damsel. Having the time to sit down and review her actions, she began to feel embarrassed with how she'd handled her feelings towards Sonic. Especially when it all seemed to do was get her and whatever involved party into trouble.

Around the same time, she caught wind of GUN's recent stab in the dark to quell the tension between furries and humans. Despite Tifa's concern, Amy began checking out books on military history, including tactics and the like. This continued for a year, between her job and whatever outings she and Tifa had together. It helped to tear herself away from thinking about others and growing depressed. Amy hadn't seen Sonic or Tails since ARK.

Then, the day arrived. GUN had recently established a boarding party for recruits. Although Tifa protested, Amy ignored her and left to Capitol City. There, she just barely managed to catch the boat. To make things worse, the Freedom Fighters For Furs, or F4, had heard of the big event and planned to make waste of the ship. Amy proved herself well by helping to fight back the invaders and disarming the explosives. Unknown to her, she had created a rival: the white wolf, Joseph Hitomi.

Due to her actions on the ship, GUN accepted her with open arms. She joined the ranks under Mathias Greyer's wings and concealed her identity, taking the name "Heather Luthian". At first looked down upon, Amy proved herself yet again in the obstacle course, although the real thing would show that she would still need a considerable amount of training. On the way to a battlefield, their ship was shot down in the Mystic Ruins, and despite what efforts her and Greyer made, they were captured by F4.

During Slick's interrogation session, however, the base suddenly came under attack. In the chaos, Amy managed to escape her cell and make her way out. On the way, the tunnel she was inside of started to collapse. With the injuries she'd sustained from the fighting, it seemed like Amy wouldn't escape the cave-in until a familiar voice filled her ears. In a blur of blue, Sonic came to her rescue, zipping out of the doomed base and leaping just in time to nail the top of Tails' plane.

Amy was quickly reunited with Mathias and their crew who had come to rescue them in the first place. There was also an odd assortment of new faces, but Amy didn't question things, urgent to know the just what was going on. From their briefing, she learned of an alien invasion hitting Capitol City hard. Sonic, impatient as ever, sped off to the scene. After being healed by newcomer, Tutley Sakamoto, she and the rest of the group piled into the Valkyrie, set for an almost suicidal mission.

In the skies of Capitol, while GUN fighters distracted Sarath's mammoth ships, Tails crashed the small carrier head on into the bulk of one, setting off the explosives attached to the nose of the Valkyrie. Although it was the end of the dependable aircraft, it signaled the beginning of their fight back. And this time, Amy would do her best to prevail, perhaps even impressing her heartthrob. Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned and that would be the case for this ragtag team. After the initial resistance, Sarath decided it was time to play his ace. On his very own ship! Amy and the others raced to the hangar where the transports lay, just managing to catch one and make their exit before the carrier was engulfed in the deadly phase cannon.

|::Weapon(s) of Choice::|

Piko Piko Hammer

|::Combat Style::|
Without any proper training, Amy's style can be described as sporadic, aggressive, and heavy hitting. Amy's not afraid to wail on anyone and anything with her hammer, especially if they make her angry. Due to the make up of her mallet, too, she can hit home faster than most could with a regular hammer of that proportion.

|::Skills::|[list]
[*]Hairdressing
Amy has become a skilled hairdresser. Although she'll never be as good as Tifa, it's safe to say that if someone ever needs a restyle, she's the hedgehog to go to. This skill has caused her to carry around a small kit wherever she goes out of habit.
[*]Tarot Reading
Although perhaps more of a hobby, back home at Tifa's, Amy found herself indulged in reading as a means of forgetting about her own concerns and concentrating on others. In a way, it was training for herself to become more interconnected with those around her, since she's been separated from her closest friends for a good couple of years.
[*]Strategist
Although more or less a beginner in this department, Amy does have a general know how of making a group work together smoothly. Most of the knowledge comes from things she's read in books though, so nothing is really solid when it comes to real time fights.

|::Strengths::|
+ Stronger than you think.
No doubt about it. Amy's strength exceeds the average girl. She's not Knuckles, per-say, but with a swing like hers, she's not one to underestimate.
+ Giving up is not an option.
In the past, Amy has been known for her sheer willpower to get through a situation. This still rings true as one of her most worthy attributes. Call her a sore loser, but Amy will not give, even after the loss of her footing. It is especially true when it's something that risks the lives of her friends.
+ Quite the charmer.
Her spunk and optimism for life and all things good gives high moral to those around her.
|::Weaknesses::|
- Damsel in distress.
Although Amy is strong, she unfortunately has a habit of getting kidnapped, regardless. This usually stems from letting curiosity get the better of her, although she's also been prone to tiring easily as well when engaging in long fights.
- Suicidal stubbornness.
Of course, the downside to her willpower is that sometimes she just takes it too far. That often leads to endangering the lives of her friends while the initial goal was to protect them. This is especially true when she ends up cornered and her allies have to save her.
- Why so glum?
When Amy's in a bad mood, she has a habit of making sure everyone else around her feels it, too. She's admittedly self-centered about her feelings, although she would argue otherwise, and while Amy is getting better at it than she was, it's still enough to drag everyone down a bar.

|::Theme::| Truly by Delerium

*Permission has been granted from Lynx to Tifa & MTP in her background.

Items removed:
FN 5-7 Pistol - A twenty round gun that fires special 5.7mm rounds. Although weaker than a usual pistol, its rounds are made to pierce through body armor, making it more efficient in the military. Not being used to handling firearms, she is reluctant to use it but with her current employment, she understands that it is a must.

|::Combat Style::|
It's interesting to note that her style changes vastly when using a firearm. Her confidence literally goes out the window; Amy's aim is half decent in the first place and only becomes worse the longer she takes to fire off a round or several. She just has no interest in killing anyone and she makes it apparent, often shaking in her boots.

+Relations

That's a wrap~
