*Mina Mongoose (born day 340, 3220) is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She is a mobian mongoose that was once captured by Dr. Robotnik and rescued by Sonic the Hedgehog.

She is the 16-year-old daughter of Isabella Mongoose and the late Arthur Mongoose. A schoolgirl in love with Mobius' most renowned hero, Mina was also a heroine in her own right. Recently, she had enjoyed a highly successful singing career, and had become one of Mobius' biggest celebrities.

Mina is a yellow-furred mobian mongoose with light banana-yellow on the face and torso) as well as waist-length purple hair, green eyes, a daggered tail, and a short, open, dark teal vest revealing her lilac-purple tank top underneath and tall, matching dark boots with dark blue soles.

For concert performances, she often wears a variation of her usual outfit; while she retains the general idea of the boots and gauntlets, the boots sport a purple stripe, which make the design similar to Amy's boots. She wears a black and purple tank top with matching pants/leggings; the latter were later replaced by a pleated skirt. She's occasionally been depicted in a more formal outfit designed by artist Jeff Axer; a red qipao patterned with a green dragon, long black gloves, ornamental hair pins and ornate gold jewelry, including gold hoop earrings with green tassels. On a single cover Mina was depicted in a typical Japanese sailor-style school uniform of white and purple with a pale teal backpack and white and pink sneakers. She once had a bright pink rain jacket. She was also shown wearing simple pale teal or yellow pajamas. Artist Dawn Best added a green star to Mina’s hairband. An unused redesign, also by Jeff Axer, featured capris, hi-top sneakers, puppy-themed socks and an artfully-torn sweatshirt with “Sonic” printed on the front.

Despite her emotional hardships, Mina's confidence grew as her musical ability became apparent, and she developed into a happy, highly energetic individual with a heroic heart, using her singing talents to inspire hope, confidence and improved morale to the masses.*
