In this video, we examine just what makes Amy Rose such an amazing Sonic character as I believe she's being sorely overlooked and underappreciated in the community, so hopefully, this helps remind Sonic fans of why she's so amazing!

When Amy is kind, ambitious, fearless, compassionate or quick tempered it's flossed over and ignored. When other characters are those same things It's actual seen as their personality smh.

That’s so accurate! I was listing out Amy’s good moments to someone more specifically Amy’s moment with shadow in SA2 and literally the response was “that could’ve been anyone in the series and doesn’t make her special”. Of this person I was arguing with thinks Amy’s sole purpose in the series and what her character was built on is chasing sonic.

Tbh its partially just cause she’s a girl. I’m a guy but as someone whos in these spaces and have been for years, it’s undeniable that female characters often just get lambasted and slammed with shit much harder by default, even if their guilty of things their male counterparts are equally known for (or praised for) doing. The mere fact that the term mary sue is more commonly known than its male counterpart is evidence enough of that. I’m sure some tryhard may read this and try to twist this into me being some whiteknight and or saying that male characters get 0 criticism or people only hate amy cause she’s a girl (Which i’m saying neither of btw) Idk the term tbh but deep rooted misogyny and how it manifests in fan spaces in subtle and not subtle ways is partially to blame for that and how a lot of people think critically a female characters. Sally got lumped with this shit a lot both by fans, but also internally by certain “colorful” writers at archie so its definitely not something exclusive to her. This isn’t some call for a gender war or policing on the deeper reasons as to who says or believes what and why, but more just an open and honest acknowledgment of an aspect that this as well as all fan spaces riddled with in terms of “getting to the bottom” of what OP brought up.

This makes an interesting point. If you compare amy to the rest of the cast, the difference is that she doesn't have any kind of power or special connection to anything. Yet she still hang out with these superpowered demi gods. She doesn't get credit because she is just a "random girl hanging around" in the eyes of sonic, his friends and the player. But put into context, the only simple fact that she chooses to stay with them, just so that she can make herself useful and help people makes her really brave. She has to work twice as hard than anybody else in the cast for that reason. (I got a lot of this from Al the boi's videos, go check him out) Im very interested into the dynamic sonic and amy will have in frontiers.

@@MegaSoniczone It'd be good to see her interest in Tarot cards be a thing in the games, though I'm not saying it should be a major thing but it could maybe she was doing a reading and got a warning something terrible was going to happen which was would be the thing to kick off the plot. One use I thought of for the cards could have been if she were playable in Forces - instead of a pair of mutes with barely enough personality between to fill a sandwich - as things are looking grim she would look to her Tarot cards for guidance and the reading she'd get would say that Sonic was in fact alive. Trusting her heart to the cards she would look to sneak out to save Sonic alone, not looking to put anyone else in danger. However Tails - after going through his growth after beating Chaos to regain his confidence - would catch her sneaking off, and due to his own strong emotional connection to Sonic would look to join her on this daring rescue mission to save Sonic. Because with him actually being tortured for 6 months, its not like he'd be able to run the length of himself, nevermind walk out of the prison on his two feet.

@@DemonDethchaseThat's a good idea actually. And yeah the tarot card/witchcraft type aspect of her is mostly over looked and is only referenced instead of utilized. An idea I had was that her uncanny ability for these cards was that it could be based on limited magic specifically on her hammer. (inspired by Ixis Magik in the Archie Comics with characters like the Witchcarters who are from Tails Adventure or Mammoth Mogul). Its what I call Hammerspace. Its ability wear Amy summons different types of hammers for combat: Her regular Piko Hammer. The Red Rose Rocket (Triple R): A hammer with a magic propelled rocket that flies for a limited time (She flies on it like a witch on a broom). The hammer is hot and can swing harder because of said rocket (Makes air combat possible) Extendo Sledge Hammer: Can extend its reach to a certain degree (similar to her upgrade in Sa1 but far greater and can control its length) Shingle Blossom Hammer: A hammer with a hook at the end made for grappling and pulling on objects like nails in the wall. Mainly used for following up combos. The Petal Hatchet Hammer: She throws small hammers as a projectile move. These are sharp and can do cutting type damage Team Piko Piko: Gives allies there own specialized hammers (Like how you pair Amy with a character in Advance 3) Rose-Tinted Spring Hammer: Extends her jump height as well as repelling physical attacks and reflecting projectiles with a spring on both sides. (The springs from the games) The Wacky Rose Hammer: Strikes much quicker in a short amount of time like a whack a mole game and behaves like a jack hammer The Judge's Mallet: Summons a giant hammer although slower to wield does massive collateral damage and can cause seismic waves. The size can vary but is at least 3 times Amy's size. (Also can used for cover to block enemy with long ranged attacks) Storming Hearts Mallet: A hammer that spins rapidly to create wind sheer with rose petals. It can be reversed for a vaccum effect.(Sa2 Multiplayer and Heroes) It's all I got rn but I personally like this idea as it makes here even more viable in combat. Sorry for the long comment lol.

@DemonDethchase 3 года назад
@@justcallmekai1554 hey that's no problem buddy, I tend to do the odd long comment myself on topics like this. It sounds cool your idea and with you saying about a bigger focus on combat, it sounds very much like a Devil May Cry character action title, or maybe more Bayonetta, with having a lovely leading lady. I guess for a powered up Devil Trigger like state could ofcourse be a Super form, or for Sonic if there was to be like a Shin Devil Trigger state, Hyper Sonic. I was also wondering about the characters' stats in terms of speed, power and durability and while the obvious choice for who should be the fastest character would be Sonic, but I'd say no. The fastest character in the the game should be Tails, and I'll explain why. His attack power and defence would be the worst of the cast, what with him just being a little 8 year fox cub who has to punch above his weight to keep up with the older heroes. So compensate for how he gives and takes damage he'd get the best mobility so as not to get taken out in a few good hits too easily. I do think while Amy's power would be through the roof with her hammer, I do think she'd be something of a glass cannon, so like Tails I'd give her some good speed stats, but not as fast as Sonic ofcourse, maybe a little slower. I guess Sonic would largely be an all rounder, while Knuckles despite being the slowest could hit like a truck, albeit maybe not much as Amy with her hammer. As while as take the most damage, being the stubborn type who doesn't go down easily.

Not very accurate the call her compassionate, by her being willing to let the world get destroyed and that just makes Silver ASSUME there's no real hard decisions in life, or in this case at least. No Amy is not compassionate, her whole thing is being Sonicssionate and THAT can be mistaken as such, because it yields the same outcome. She is the person who actually loves the most difficult person to compete for, because Sonic is the opposite of leftovers or a randomer who is just meant for you and you alone, he is THE Main Character and this is His World. Amy is the Main Character of love itself. Understand? Understand. The concept of love.

Few months old, but I definitely agree. Chris as I've studied watching both the English and Japanese Dub of the Sonic X anime is most definitely a Gary Stu, specifically the Relationship gary stu in terms of friendship. Prime example... He steals alot of Tails' and mainly Amy's moments that would be the right time for their childhood friendships with Sonic to shine. NOPE, The gary stu has to steal their spotlight and in amy's case Steal iconic moments she had. And as the case for Sally, I don't mind her in the og Satam Cartoon even though she herself had sue-ish traits. Rotor and Sally kinda stole tails' role, but they at least somewhat made up for it by Sally being an older sister figure to Tails so there's that. But oh god.... The Archie Comics.... I'm pretty sure any reasonable Sonic Fan can tell you that Comic series is the real nasty ass pimple on this franchise. So much so, I heard the Sonic Japanese Fanbase hates the archie comics and rightfully the Mary-Sue verison of Sally in those comics. I know it'll definitely make her fanbrats reeee when it's more or less quite a few Sonic Japanese fan even said Sally was a near Mary-Sueish knock off of Amy Rose.

You know what I love about idw. They didn’t try to simply ignore Amy’s past and make her a different character with a different backstory like in Sonic Boom. They acknowledged her past and implied that she had grown up and overcome her issues. Her and Sonics relationship in IDW feel meaningful because you see the progress theyve made. Sonic who used to run away from Amy now wants her around. And you can see that Amy still really likes sonic but she is more restrained. Yeah I’ve heard the criticisms that “she copied Sally acorn” and “her personality is too watered down or they didn’t show enough transition” which I think yeah they can do her better but this was a major step in the right direction for her character. It makes me so excited to see how they will write her in Sonic Prime assuming it won’t be a total reboot which I don’t think it is.

@haonsnow1144 3 года назад
Really good video. Personally, my favorite interpretation of Amy's character is in Sonic Heroes. I've already made a long post on Tumblr about it before, so I'll give the short version here: One, she's very energetic and manages her can-do attitude throughout the game. She only gets discouraged at one point in Team Rose's story, but then immediately bounces back, and is ready to hunt down Eggman. Two, she's very brave. In CD, SA1, and SA2, she's shown to be afraid of Eggman, but this doesn't happen in Heroes. On the contrary, she doesn't seem scared of him at all. Even calling him names like "mustache monkey" and "bloated buffoon." She doesn't even seem too afraid of Metal Sonic. The robot that originally kidnapped her in CD to begin with. Three, she's a good leader. Compared to Cream and Big, Amy has much more experience adventuring and dealing with Eggman. Thus, it's only natural for her to take up the role of leader. This is where her bravery, can-do attitude, and compassion are really important. There are numerous points in Team Rose's story where Cream and Big are doubting themselves, and may even want to give up. However, Amy will not let that happen. She consistently encourages them, making sure they keep moving forward, as they have to save Froggy and Chocola. Four, in regards to her feelings for Sonic. I know that some would say Amy's feelings for Sonic seem too obsessive in this game, but I would argue that there's at least a good reason for that. On top of her love for him, Team Rose's only clue as to the whereabouts of Froggy and Chocola is a newspaper where Sonic has both of them. Thus, it's only natural for Amy and her team to try and find Sonic. Sure, could the interaction have been handled better, especially concerning the whole "marriage" thing? Of course. But I don't think that's enough to write off Amy's whole character in the game, which is something many people do. Amy has always been my favorite Sonic character, and it's really nice to see that more and more people are warming up to her as time goes on. However, it's unfortunate that she and pretty much every other Sonic character has been butchered to only having one or two personality traits. Amy is strong, loving, kind, courageous, and energetic. I really hope Sega and Sonic Team can get some better writers. Not just for her sake, but all of the other characters, as well.

I think heroes Amy isn’t that bad. Yes she chases sonic but the whole “trying to force him to marry her” was blown out of proportions. They reason team rose confronts sonic is because in the opening cutscene they show a newspaper that shows what looks like sonic nabbing chocola and Froggy. There’s dialogue from cream and I think Amy (correct me if I’m wrong) during the fight confirming this. I think heroes Amy while starting her flanderized era still developed Amy as being more strong and being a great friend and leader to cream and big as she sticks with them to until she found who they were looking for. The whole marry me scene I really think was intended as a joke meant to tease him as Amy wants sonic to see how strong she is and sonic doesn’t take it that seriously saying “there’s no time to play”.

Also, this version starts off like her Sonic CD and Sonic X personality, well.. IDK, it may feel to early for Amy to admit falling in love with Sonic.

Back in the day I didn't mind Amy in the past. Like whenever she was there it'd be "oh cool, there's Amy!" But since last year, she'd fast becoming a favorite, next to Sonic and Tails (though Tails is my favorite). Though for all she's barely used these days, I think its fair to say that ever since day one with the American release of Sonic CD, Amy's been fighting an up hill battle to be recognized for who she is. As seen in story write up for the American manual for her debut. Sega JPN: This is Sega US: This is Sonic JPN: Amy Sega US: Amy Sega JPN: Rose Sega US: Rose Sega JPN: This is Amy Rose Sega US: This is Princess Sally! How!? They don't even look the same!

If this sonic prime tv show is doing the multiverse than this it the opportunity to bring her back so all fans can be happy.

I hate the double standard people judge Amy by. She’s not the only character to have been flanderized and have bad writing. Pretty much most of the cast of SpongeBob were all bastardized and ruined and yet people still love them to this day. Knuckles was made to be dumb and fans don’t all think knuckles is dumb now. The problem has never been Amy as a character. It’s how they choose to write her. And honestly even at her worst she still had some redeemable qualities. She still helps and has even saved sonics life multiple times. She clearly doesn’t intend to be bad but unfortunately there was a period where sega stopped caring much about her character development and thought making her act crazy was funny at the expense of her character. Also she’s a cool character with a lot of different skills and potential. Amy Rose in my opinion with the proper character arc has the potential to be amazing and I’m holding out hope they are going to get her character right in this new sonic prime show.

She’s just as important to this Franchise as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman. Which is why I’m still hoping that she’ll be in the Sonic The Hedgehog 2 movie.

I'm shocked there wasn't a mention of Lisa Ortiz, who really helped define her character through Sonic X & the 4kids Era games. Additionally Amy had her hammer in Sonic the Fighters & was more than just a damsel in distress during the Classic Era. Many forget that her Classic Design was essentially a pink haired schoolgirl hedgehog as per Japanese concepts of cuteness back in the early 90s. Still you can't talk about Amy without bringing up her relation with Cream. While Amy's supposed to be the spunky, strong willed heroine, Cream is essentially the person who keeps her level headed. Cream while serving a similar dynamic with Amy that Tails does for Sonic, is also notable for her not liking to fight despite how strong & talented she is when it comes to combat. Amy's downfall in the 2010s was her voice acting which didn't fit with who Amy was as a character. Amy was supposed to be strong, spunky, & take charge in addition to girly & in love with Sonic as that was the character she was made to be during the 4kids Era. The 2010s made her a parody of herself by having her sound like Disney Character & keeping her from taking part in the actual fighting in the games as part of the Just Sonic mentality. I would recommend Cream getting a video next if she hasn't gotten it already.

Just like Peach in Smash Bros, Amy uses her rear end as a fighting technique against her opponent. Perhaps that's another weakness Sonic has? It's certainly possible. Joking aside, Amy's my third favorite female Sonic character behind Blaze and Rouge. Amy's underrated and deserves more love.

As someone who's favorite characters are Tails and Amy I 100% agree. Amy is often overlooked by both Sega and fans, I agree she could be a better written character in instances. But honestly she is nowhere near as bad as the fanbase (especially Sonictuber/critcs) say. Her obsession with Sonic is literally the point of the character and how she's played around with the dynamic. Even in fan stuff she's often replaced by Shadow when it comes to any sort of fan speculations or media, and not gonna lie its annoying, because it disregards her as the 4th main character (which she is after the trio) she's also overlooked by Sonic Team by always being not included when it comes to things like Mania or the Movie sequel etc (yes those are other sources making them, but it does apply to her being overlooked) And while I love her characterization in IDW in the games she has been changed for the worst just like any other character, just taking away her love for Sonic doesn't make her a better character, she just became an idealized version of what the fans think she should be, in that even her other traits outside of loving Sonic were taken away, now she's just the bland token female character. And when it comes to Boom, just a generic action girl (I really dislike the way critics frame how a character has to be written, which amounts to their version of a good female character or when a character losing agency is seen as "damseled". As for her being a playable character I'm all up for it. I really thought she had potential they just never gave her. Heroes and Advance 2/3 showed signs of it, just never solidified it. I thought her gameplay in Advance 1 was perfect for 2D Sonic gameplay for instance, especially with some fine tuning (which Roms of the classic games featuring her classic design with that playstyle did) I think her Hammer should always be apart of her moveset, and not just remove it like most mods do. There's an added charm seeing her with her hammer combined with traditional Sonic speed/gameplay. She always became centered around the platforming aspect, considering how platform inspired her gameplay seemed to be, which is fine. 06 was the one exception however, Amy's gameplay is atrocious in that and doesn't work or fit the character at all. Why does she need to turn invisible? I think the Adventure titles and Shuffle did a great job at balancing Amy's love for Sonic while giving her own priorities. (In SA1 it was pinning for a sense of adventure that just happened to be tied to Sonic, not to mention the bird. In SA2 its about her being left out and her love for Sonic and marriage being used as an obvious joke. In Shuffle? She makes a wish to be a Hero like Sonic, meanwhile I think Heroes did a decent job at balancing her chasing Sonic, but she also has other characters to interact with. It makes me overlook it because she has that balance. Because she's helping Cream and Big find their friends and interacts with them it adds more to balance part of the character so that chasing Sonic is her main trait, just balanced by other traits. Not to mention she has nice snarky remarks at Eggman. Amy isn't obsessed with Sonic in Adventure 2, she was more concerned with being left out. And in Heroes that was basically te point, her seeing Sonic on the newpaper with a captured Chao and Froggy is what sets off Team Rose, keep in mind even the innocent Cream had no qualms with thinking Cheese's friend was with Sonic, while she obviously disagreed with Amy chasing Sonic of course. I also think that Amy's immature because she's a pre-teen, pre-teens (and by extension teenagers) do stupid things and minors will often vary in terms of maturity. I think IDW is the right direction for that. I find it odd how hardly anyone bats an eye when Boom Amy throws her temper on the main cast (often in ways similar to Amy, and its also contradicting given her other traits) which again, stems from the fact that because "she's mature" it somehow excuses her flaws even though I do like Amy in Sonic Boom her personality either amounts to generic action girl in the games and in the TV show is very inconsistent with the only consistent thing being that she's a feminist or a girl. And the way the love was done on the show was so typical, its just the "to shy to admit it" dynamic with no interesting spin on it. But again Boom and regular Amy are two different characters and I like them both, its just Boom Amy works for her series and that's it.

I very much agree with everything said in this video. Aside from her character though, I also think she could use an offensive upgrade. I've seen several times in media apart from the games that her Piko Piko Hammer isn't enough like Sonic X and both the Archie and IDW comic series. Namely against heavily armored Badniks. I think if their were to be an upgrade to that, it would be some sort of nail weapon that works in conjunction with her Piko Piko Hammer, allowing her to be more viable in combat. I've got a few ideas on how that'd work but anything can be on the table honestly.

@@dragondelsur5156 Oh definitely not. Rosy the Rascal from the IDW comic series already has a spiked hammer. What I had in mind was something a little more.. creative and highly gameplay oriented rather than just something we read she can do. Just to put it out there, what I was imagining for a game centralizing on Amy would be basic attack movements with her hammer for any badnik she's up against. In this game, in a very similar presentation to Luigi's Mansion's Poltergust, she would recieve a brand new specialized weapon specifically to support her Hammer's usage. The Holographic Nail Gun. What it does specifically is help Amy be more capable of combating heavily armored Badniks. And instead of the gun shooting physical nails, it shoots holographic ones that plant themselves, hovering over the enemies you shoot them with until you strike them with the hammer, thus piercing the heavy armor. The number of rounds is very limited and would need to recharge rather than reload for challenge, balance and cool factor. It's a very basic and unrefined game design ideas for a character that's never even had her own game, but I still think it has merit, you know? I'd love an Amy spin off game like Luigi's Mansion, Super Princess Peach, Mega Man X or heck, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon or something.

Your analysis of her temper was especially good because I usually hear Amy fans deride that as a negative trait that derailed the character but you, while pointing out that it can easily be used poorly, enjoy it because it can add a depth, authority, and leadership to her character that I hadn't considered. I especially like that interpretation because it makes for a good follow to her whole character arc from Sonic Adventure. She uses this trait of hers that could be childish in a way that makes her strong and demanding of respect. Great work overall, might be my favorite thing you've done so far.

There’s a large gap of time where you assume she learned a lot and had to change for the better. She wasn’t even really the “leader” at first either knuckles was. When he stepped down she explained in a later scene she felt obligated to lead the restoration because no one else would. You can tell the job really stressed her out too as so much went wrong in metal virus and the first chance she got to step down she took it because Amy realizes she misses her freedom.

Big is just someone who want to have a chilled life with his best friend ( the opposite of Sonic ), but even then he’s willing to go out of his comfort zone for people he considers his friends. One of the few characters that Sonic heroes did good with is Big. While he mostly talked about froggy in that game, he’s shown and said he’d protect Amy, Cream, and Cheese. Sonic chronicles is another game that shows how big of a heart he has, and while not seeking adventure he’s always willing to help a friend. I feel as though all of team rose ( the original) needs there own game, or their own story mode. Cream and Cheese also have in rough since their game introduction barely had any story, and it was a handheld game.

And she reached there before sonic. That alone kinda proves to me that she has drive. and after that we see her pretty frequently in other games like the spinoff racing games and sonic the fighters, where she competed against some of the best fighters in the world like sonic and knuckles. She seemed like a secondary character by that point. Already past just being a damsel in distress.

Despite little characterization, even on Sonic CD and Sonic The Fighters, you could see that she was already super energetic and obsessive, trying to hold Sonic in place. In addition, classic Sonic was portrayed on CD and OVA (not canon but have Sonic Team in its Credits) as being quiet, cool, preferring to be alone doing his thing, Amy being hyper energetic make the two fit on the Blue Oni and Red Oni trope.

I personally agree with how you view Amy. Her character varies hard on the writer, but is one of my favourites when written well. Every game Dimps made had (most prominently Battle) Amy be an utter psychopath, but games like SA1, SA2, Unleashed, 06, the IDW comics, etc perfectly nail who Amy is. IDW is generally my favourite, taking her character growth and expanding upon it with a more mature but still Amy-like. . .um, Amy. I do like how she does try to be a leader for a while but eventually breaks down due to her not exactly being a leader like Sally or good with paperwork like Jewel. She's a fighter and, in a way, is somewhat similar to Sonic. Both are adventurous spirits with hearts of gold. Guess that's why many ship them, including myself. Also SA2 Amy was pretty good, albeit didn't get much screentime.

Why I think that, well when I was researching on the wiki or finding some more information about her to fin more about her, According to the wiki she is describing as the energetic tomboy. What even interesting is that her piko piko hammer also add to that; despite the hammer cute design and calling it the love hammer I think the reason sega give her the hammer than other weapons is to break the stereotypes because Guys smash and girls shoot (tv tropes) have been done over and over mostly games sometimes when there a female lead with other men. In the wiki the hammer as a weapon was given in order to strengthen her tomboyish nature.

Daniel aka ThePopCultureDude sent me your video on Amy and it definitely made me smile! Amy is a character that is so misunderstood and this video did a great job of explaining her traits and positive attributes!

Based on your description, I don’t think the Boom depiction is honestly that bad. Beyond still having an intense crush on Sonic (the only difference being she internalizes it instead of expressing it), her compassionate side is actually her defining trait in the show. I can see why it might be a bit egregious since she takes on a motherly role as a result rather than being like a bratty little sister, but that role still does play into the mature side you describe.

Amy has to be playable in every game moving forward. Full stop. It's criminal that we constantly get the same 1-3 play styles and have Amy stuffed into an NPC role. I feel like the Boost Formula is to blame for the most part, since that only fits Sonic and Shadow (And I guess Blaze), but even in Mania we didn't get a playable Amy. Heck, with the addition of Cream, Amy basically had her own Tails - A side kick who can fly. All the pieces are there for her to take the staring role in her own game, but nope lets give Knuckles a band of never-before-seen characters and next let's give Shadow a gun. Amy came BEFORE the era of "one and done" Sonic characters, yet she's treated like them. Background characters.

Fanbase any no difference, they barely use her neither. Even people like everything about her, but they only use her be silver love interest when fanfiction story and animation sprites that it. Beside sega bonaly clear silver and blaze just friend had big sister and little brother relationship, not romance couple people.

It's always been crazy to me that people adore how Amy was portrayed in Sonic. I'm with you that Amy in the 2000's was great though my reasoning is different. The main thing people hated with Amy was her obsession with Sonic but that was honestly one of my favorite parts of her (excluding Heroes) it was always fun to see what type of stuff she's willing to go through just to even get his attention , be it though following him to space to help him(SA2), take care of a robot to prove her worth (Sonic Battle) and even standing up to Silver just because she knows Sonic wouldn't do bad stuff)

I guess I just disliked her from the start, my first ever video game was Sonic 06, so naturally when a new character comes in I just felt like who is this person and why are you here. My main problems with Amy are her constant fawning over Sonic, her uninteresting gameplay in SA1 and 06, in Heroes I liked team rose quite a lot, her irritating nature and honestly, while you find the lengths she goes to to get Sonic's attention funny, I just thought it was cringeworthy and said 'give it up Amy, Sonic would never date you', she does have some redeeming factors, but they are too sparing for me to really take them in and make Amy, who's an annoying piece of work, into a likeable character.

I agree with u so much in this video!! Amy has always been a favorite of mine, and it's always hurt me when people found her annoying or disliked her for petty reasons. I also agree with what you said about boom Amy, while it fits for boom, I've never liked the concept of completely drowning out her love for Sonic. It's always been such a cute and sometimes funny thing to see how Amy loves him, but it definitely needs to be balanced as well. Her writing in Sonic Rush for example makes her a little crazy but in Sonic Adventure it's pretty well balanced. It's clear she likes Sonic and has a little schoolgirl crush on him, but she has her priorities straight and she's capable of acting calm and friendly around him too (like in SA2 when she accompanies him and Tails and Knuckles, this ofc excluding her one line of her blackmailing for sonic to marry her). I've seen many other videos like this and it's refreshing to see Amy fans rising up to show the fanbase that Amy is not a character we'll let them sleep on

For a while, I didn't like Amy. I thought she was annoying and never vibed with with her. But as time has passed, I've come to really like and respect her. She's a kind, compassionate person who sticks by her friends and has a short but enjoyable temper. Sure loving Sonic's a big part of her personality but it's not all that's there.
