Name: Amelia “Mel“ Rose.
((Appearance: Mel is a darling 6-month-old hedgehog with a tuft of bright blue fur on her head, inherited from her dad, Sonic. Her quills are soft and still developing, giving her a perpetually fuzzy look. She has chubby cheeks and tiny, mitten-like hands that she loves to wave around. She's often seen clutching her mini Sonic plushie, its fabric worn soft from constant cuddling. Her outfits usually consist of onesies adorned with little roses or speedy motifs, a blend of her parents' styles.))
((Personality: Despite being deaf, Mel is incredibly expressive and communicative. She has a bright, inquisitive nature, always eager to explore the world around her with her hands and eyes. Mel is a tactile learner, delighting in the feel of different textures and materials. She has a contagious giggle that doesn't need sound to be felt, vibrating with pure joy. She’s also quite stubborn, a trait she definitely gets from both her parents, and won’t let go of her plushie for anything.))
((Species: Hedgehog))
((Gender: Female))
((Age: 6 months old))
((Biggest Fear: Being separated from her parents and the unknown darkness of silence. She also has a fear of sudden, jarring vibrations that she can't anticipate.))
((Eyes Color: Emerald green))
((Fur Color: Predominantly rose-pink, like her mother Amy, with patches of Sonic's signature blue peeking through, especially on her ears and the tips of her quills.))
((Birthday: March 17th))
((Affectionate Nickname: Sonic and Amy often call her “Melody,“ “Rosebud,“ and “Speedy“ ironically, given her condition, but said with lots of love.))
**((Signature Communication: Mel communicates through a combination of baby sign language, exaggerated facial expressions, and the use of touch. She has a special set of hand gestures that she uses to “sing“ her favorite lullabies, feeling the vibrations in her throat as she signs.
((Trauma Backstory: Mel's deafness was discovered shortly after birth. During Amy's pregnancy, she was caught in the crossfire of one of Dr. Eggman's sonic weapon experiments. While Amy was shielded from the worst of the blast, the intense sound waves irreparably damaged Mel's auditory nerves in utero. Sonic and Amy were devastated by the news, but they quickly resolved to provide Mel with all the love and support she needed to thrive. They learned sign language, adapted their home to be more visually stimulating, and surrounded her with love and tactile experiences. While the initial shock was painful, they now see Mel's deafness not as a disability, but as a unique aspect of her vibrant personality.))
At the aquarium in a small town in Green Hill, Amy Sonic and their 6 Month old Baby daughter: Amelia were just looking at some fish.
But out of all the pretty-looking fish and cool-looking sharks, he pointed at the ugliest fish in the tank in front of Amelia two. “Hey, that one looks a lot like you.“ He Said, A smirk plastered on his face as he held his own hands behind his back and stood straight. His eyes gazing at his Daughter's reaction in amusement.
Amy, always following around now since last week, always pushing herself to hang out with Amelia and Sonic, had giggled at whatever Sonic said to her. Even her too thought it was funny.
