*Rouge the Bat is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She is a mobian bat who is both a part-time government agent and occasional jewel thief. She occasionally works as a spy directly under the President and is often involved in events concerning G.U.N.. She also tends to get involved in illegal activities, as she has an affinity for adventures and gems. Rouge would at some point join Team Dark and began working directly under G.U.N. along with Shadow the Hedgehog and E-123 Omega.

Rouge is a mobian bat with white fur, tan skin, turquoise eyes with medium-length eyelashes, and a curvy figure. She has large pointy ears, small fangs, a small black nose on her muzzle, a short pointy tail, and a pair of dark purple wings on her back. Only her head appears to have fur, which flares out into six points at the back. She usually wears powder blue eyeshadow and pink lipstick. Her typical attire consists of a black, skintight, sleeveless unitard with a pink heart-shaped chestplate with white trim, and long white gloves and high-heeled boots with pink cuffs. Her boots also have gray soles and feature hearts on the toes.

Rouge is a strong-minded young woman, a fearless, ambitious, independent, flirtatious, greedy, ruthless, calculating narcissist who most people see as only caring for herself and her gems. Despite this, she can be helpful and affectionate in her own way, usually towards a select few. Should the situation necessitate it, she is not above using seduction and manipulation to get what she wants, and is willing to be dishonest and even treacherous with little, if any, qualms. She is fully aware of her image and will often appear to be sweet when at her most cruel.

For all her sass and underhandedness, though, Rouge does possess a caring side beyond her thieving, double-dealing ways having occasionally shown that she can be heroic and a touch ethical, even if it meant sacrificing something she really wanted to get her hands on. She is often capable of recognizing true evil when she sees it. Regardless, her care is usually reserved for those close to her.

Being a bat, Rouge is able to fly and glide. She is a skilled fighter who specializes in kicks. Working as both a spy and a thief, she is also been shown to have a knack for espionage, manipulation, sneaking and computer hacking. She's also shown being competent in operating a variety of vehicles such as space shuttles.*
