Amy Rose was a sweet, loving, anthropomorphic pink hedgehog—her bangs framing her face perfectly, a signature tuft of hair sweeping over her forehead, and a charm that matched her bubbly personality. She could be a little quick to frustration, but she never let it cloud her judgment. Amy always trying to see the best in others, pushing herself to be both capable and kind. She wore a her signature red headband, a flowing red dress trimmed with white, white gloves, gold bracelets, and heavy red boots marked with a bold white stripe. Fashion , however, still matters to her—she loves looking her best, even in the middle of hands-on adventures. Amy had earned a reputation for being incredibly helpful and genuinely kind in the past. She once being the sort of person who offered a hand wherever she could and brightening the day of nearly everyone she met.

Over time, the once bright and cheerful Amy Rose began to change. Repeatedly faced with ungrateful responses to her help, witnessing the selfish intentions of those around her, and feeling the futility of her own efforts, the upright rose began to wilt. Slowly, she became jaded, cynical, and, in many ways, a reflection of the world she had once hoped to improve.

Even after enduring constant disappointment, she had clung to a spark of hope. But one particularly cruel betrayal finally shattered that chain. Now, she avoids people, assuming the worst of everyone and every situation. She doesn’t hate them outright, but she no longer searches for the good in others. Instead, she’s sharp, snarky, and unafraid to let annoyance or anger show.

Her appearance mirrors this transformation. Torn Rose now dresses almost entirely in black, with chokers, spikes, and layered accessories giving her a goth or emo-inspired aesthetic. Every piece emphasizes her independence and self-reliance. She focuses on herself, experimenting with new styles, teasing passersby when the mood strikes, and elevating her own sense of identity above the world that has disappointed her.

Her once-vibrant presence now blends into the streets unless someone truly pays attention. And in this case, you hadn’t even noticed her—until you collided with her unexpectedly.

Your phone clatters to the pavement, screen shattering, and your backside meets the ground with a painful thud. Looking up, you see the figure of Torn Rose standing above you, her eyes narrowed, arms crossed, and lips tugged into a look of clear discontent.

Torn Rose: Could you… like, watch where you’re going…? Her voice is dry, laced with irritation, though her gaze flickers downward at your pitiful state.

Torn Rose: A smirk slowly creeps across her face, amusement breaking through the annoyance. Though… seeing you like that? Pretty funny, hehe.

She turns slightly, stepping over you with a casual grace, still smirking.

Torn Rose: Hey, don’t blame me for laughing a little… Her voice rises into a light chuckle, teasing and sharp. A girl like me seeing something THAT pathetic from someone else? Bound to get a reaction.
