Amy (PXLPD)

Said to be both graceful and powerful at the same time,[36][37] Amy is stronger than most give her credit for.[36] Notably, it has been said that her activity can put even men to shame.[5] With her tools and skills by her side, she is a formidable foe and a valuable member of Sonic's team who can go up against powerful robots, like ZERO, on her own.[36][38] Thanks to her occasional training, she is growing progressively stronger as well.[39] However, she is still no match for highly trained individuals like Rouge.[40]

Physical prowess

She has high physical strength, enough to let her carry her heavy objects and weaponry like her Piko Piko Hammer around with no effort,[41] send opponents flying with a single swing of her Piko Piko Hammer, or propel herself upward by hammering into the ground. She has been shown to be strong enough to lift an Egg Hammer's giant hammer, with only a little assistance from Silver's psychokinesis.[42]

Amy has excellent running skills that stem from all the time she has spent chasing after Sonic.[43] While her top speed is not clear, she is at least able to move at super speeds, being fast enough to create after-images of herself, scale vertical surfaces and ceilings, and keep up with Sonic's mundane running speed.[44] However, she has admitted that she is not as fast as Sonic.[45]

She also has sharp reflexes, agility, and acrobatic skills, enough to let her do special tricks and movements while in mid-air, pull off various graceful maneuvers with her Piko Piko Hammer at high speed without it affecting her movements, and grind along rails with ease.

Amy likewise has impressive durability, being able to go through atmospheric re-entry and then land on the ground unharmed.[46] In addition, thanks to her indomitable spirit and persistence, Amy has impressive stamina, being able to push herself to the absolute limit.

Amy is very open and expressive about her feelings and emotions, always speaking her mind and never letting her feelings get bottled up inside.[33] As such, Amy can be quite obsessive and aggressive, especially when it comes to her infatuations with Sonic. When angered, she has a habit of pulling out and threatening others with her Piko Piko Hammer, especially when anyone crosses her or hurts people she cares about. Amy has been shown as well to have no reservations about expressing more extreme emotions, be it either crying when overcome with sadness or not holding back in expressing her over-the-top enthusiasm. As a result, Amy can come off as overbearing and very pushy. Possessing a powerful personality, her assertiveness and temper make her something of a troublemaker. All the same, she has shown to not tolerate people hurting those she cares about and will retaliate with anger when witnessing such acts. As such, her enthusiasm tends to get her as much in trouble as it helps out others.

Originally, Amy was barely able to take care of herself when in dangerous situations. As such, she was ultimately a damsel-in-distress figure who needed Sonic to save her. Recognizing this, she eventually started chasing after her hero, and gradually "grew" into a tenacious and more proactive girl, who is as active and strong as Sonic.[26]

Amy is a pink-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog with bright green eyes and peach skin covering her muzzle, inner ears and arms. She has a small black nose, triangular ears on top of her head, and no back spines. She has two medium-length eyelashes on each side of her eyes. She also has three spikes for bangs on her head and a short pointy tail.

Amy's original design, called Classic Amy, has a round torso, five head quills pointed backward, a single back spine, and black eyes. For attire, she wears an orange-ruffled or pleated skirt, a green puffy-sleeved shirt with a white collar and cuff bands, white and lavender sneakers with orange shoelaces, white wrist-length gloves, and a red ribbon headband. Classic Amy is 70 centimeters (2 ft 4 in) tall,[25][note 2] while Modern Amy's height is 90 centimeters (2 ft 11 in).[5]

Amy's "Modern" design gives her a more headed twist with no back spines. Additionally, her head quills point downwards, somewhat resembling a bob cut. For attire, she now sports a red sleeveless and backless dress with two white trims and a white petticoat underneath, tall red boots with a white stripe down the center, white cuffs and gray soles with chunky heels, a red hairband, and white wrist-length gloves with gold bracelets. This Amy is modern Amy.

Bold and fearless,[31] Amy is a proactive go-getter that goes after what she wants and lets nothing get in her way. As early as the first Little Planet incident, Amy was shown to possess a proactive streak. When she had just her tarot cards to go by back then, she made her way to Little Planet when her tarot cards told her that she had a "destined encounter" on the small satellite. Likewise, she is an intuitive activist, which usually means she acts before thinking things through.[32]

Amy is described as an "energetic tomboy",[6] though by the time of the Chaos incident, she is shown to have traditional feminine interests nonetheless, such as shopping and fashion.[10] Despite her assertiveness though, it has not come at the expense of her sense of femininity. Amy also hates boredom and loves thrills and excitement; during her time in Station Square, she found her mundane city life dull and longed for the exhilaration of being a part of Sonic's adventures.
