Rosy the Rascal

"Oh yes! It broke my brain allll to pieces! Shatter-shatter! SO NOW I BREAK EVERYTHING ELSE! EEE HEE HEE!" - Rosy the Rascal to Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog #193

Rosy the Rascal, formerly known as Anti-Amy Rose, (born day 186, 3226) is a supporting antagonist in Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series, exclusively appearing in the Pre-Super Genesis Wave timeline.

She was the Moebius counterpart of Amy Rose. Shown to be mentally unstable, Rosy seeks to attack just about anyone who gets close to her, and constantly haunts Scourge the Hedgehog for ignoring her.

Appearance

Rosy looks similar to Classic Amy. She is a mobian hedgehog with a round head. She has pink fur that covers most of her body and peach skin on her muzzle, inner ears and arms, and green eyes with two medium-length eyelashes on each one. She also has five short quills on the back of her head, two triangular ears on top of her head, a black button nose and a fringe consisting of three small quills. Protruding from her back is one additional quill - slightly smaller than the ones on her head - and a short, pointy tail.

For attire, Rosy wears a yellow-ruffled skirt, green puffy-sleeved white shirt, white socks, blue sneakers with white shoelaces and soles, white wrist-length gloves, and red hairband.

Personality and traits

Rosy is extremely violent, eccentric, sadistic, and single-minded, eager to stalk and "break" things, mainly people while retaining distorted signs of a cutesy, childish demeanor. This is reflected in her speech, in which she often uses nicknames and simplified terms in a sing-song tone. She herself seems aware that the magic ring she used on herself "broke" her mind, but appears unconcerned with this fact, as her only focus now is Scourge. Also unlike her counterpart, she will not hold back when attacking and will hit her opponent with full force, which is strong enough to leave a huge dent in a large building, or quite possibly kill someone. Her hammer can even break Amy's Piko Piko Hammer, even though the two hammers are the same in strength, possibly due to rage and sadism. She is a character with a burning desire for revenge, especially on Scourge for wronging her, and will not stop at anything to get her ruthless revenge.

Powers and abilities

Rosy is shown to share the same agility, attacks, and moves as the original Amy.

Weapons

Rosy uses her own Moebius-exclusive Piko Piko Hammer, somewhat similar to Amy's. However, Rosy's hammer is much more dangerous than Amy's, with it having sharp points, which if used right, could tear clothing and possibly, even scar someone badly.

Trivia

• Rosy's reinvented name is derived from the nickname of Amy's game counterpart from Sonic the Fighters.
• Rosy's overall appearance is based on the original appearance of Amy from Sonic the Hedgehog CD until her redesign in Sonic Adventure. As a result, she is the only inhabitant of Moebius known to have shared an outfit with her Mobius counterpart while not in disguise.
• Scourge mentions her when says that she's more cuddly in comparison to Flying Frog.
