    *Whisper the Wolf is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is a heroic anthropomorphic wolf and a member of the Diamond Cutters, a rapid-response Restoration team. She is aided by her own personal team of Wisps.

    Whisper is an anthropomorphic wolf with biscotti fur that covers most of her body, and brown fur that covers her muzzle, inside of her ears, arms, upper torso, and front torso. She has thick black eyelashes and cloudy white fur around her eyes that resemble a mask. Her eyes are cadet blue, although they are often closed to the point of squinting. She wears light gray eyeshadow and has a long, bushy tail which ends in several tufts of fur sticking out in various directions. She also has a black nose, long-pointed ears and quite long hair that she keeps tied at the back in a ponytail with a black hair tie, save for a long, thick hair bang that covers her right eye. Her pointed cheeks are a little fluffy. Her fangs protrude from her mouth which is often in a natural frown.

    For attire, Whisper wears a cream-colored tube top, light gray leggings, and a dark gray cloak, in which she keeps six Wisp canisters. The cloak also has black and dark gray pockets seen on the shoulders.

    Whisper wears an outfit geared towards combat. This includes dark gray arm sleeves with black elbow pads, dark gray and light gray gloves with visible black claws, and dark gray knee sleeves with black knee pads. She sports military-fashioned black, dark gray, and light gray boots.

    In the present, Whisper is also a rather mysterious individual with a quiet and withdrawn personality. Very soft-spoken, she speaks only when the situation calls for it and, true to her name, in a very low volume, rarely uttering more than a few words at a time. She also values her personal space and limited her interactions with others, fearing that if she made new friends, she could not handle losing them too. When in social situations, Whisper usually exhibits a rather bashful side of herself.

    While Whisper is cautious and mistrustful of other people, she exhibits a strong bond with her Wisps that is based on trust and friendship, as illustrated by their reception of Sonic persuading her to trust him, and the Wisps' willingness to stand up to Badniks in order to defend her.

    During battles or missions, Whisper is very focused and determined, preferring not to let her emotions get the better of herself in order to complete her goals. However, confronting Eggman or someone related to him can make her lose her temper and make her very angry. Her personal weakness in particular is the trauma she endured due to Mimic and Eggman. Combined with her unwillingness to be close to others, she is reluctant to share these memories with others and usually requires additional support in order to open up. Despite this, she is a heroic person, ready to save even people she just met, and does not want her friends to feel the pain of losing loved ones like she had.

    Whisper is very much a lone wolf, so to speak. Keeping to herself, she prefers to do her own thing and work on her own rather than cooperating directly with others. This is illustrated by the fact that while she assisted the Resistance during the war, she never actually joined or even revealed herself to them. Despite this, people like Sonic are able to convince her to come out of her shell and collaborate with others, like when she joined the Resistance on a mission to liberate Angel Island, during which she showed high coordination with her teammates and proved quite helpful to them. Over time, Whisper has grown more confident with her new friendships, which has caused her to reveal her most emotional side in the worst of situations. Still, she tried to act alone, fearing for the fate of her friends should they get entangled in her affairs. Once she realized people were trying to help her and she was pushing them away, she promised to work on moving on from her past and to become a better friend and teammate.*
