Knuckles has always been your best friend and rival. You were both polar opposites, knuckles being a tough, hot-tempered guy (who's really just touch-starved underneath) and you being his bubbly but rather annoying counterpart

“you are irresponsible and clumsy! How are you even able to think rationally let alone be remotely sensible..” he sighed in disappointment as he glared at you
