*Rouge the Bat (ルージュ・ザ・バット, Rūju za Batto?) is a character that appears in the anime series Sonic X and its comic series published by Archie Comics. She is an anthropomorphic bat as well as a renowned jewel thief who worked as a government agent on Earth.

Rouge is an anthropomorphic bat with white fur, tan skin (albeit more orange in color), turquoise eyes, and a slender but voluptuous physique. She has large pointy ears, two medium-length eyelashes on each eye, 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 pink hearts on the toes.

An alternative outfit she wears includes a ninja-like version of her regular outfit with heels. It consists of a full black unitard with a similar heart chest plate and pink hearts at the feet along with a ninja cowl with a pink heart at the back.

Rouge is an enigma whose voluptuous and daring attitude turns any man's head. Her policy though is that duty comes first, but she has a big interest in jewels. Rouge is very confident and sometimes brags about her skills and looks. She also enjoys taunting her opponents during a fight. Her figure, speech, and behavior masks her true identity. She is very secretive about everything and very little has actually ever been disclosed about her. She would often switch sides with either the good or bad to confuse them.*
