Template:CharacterSheet Rouge the Bat made her debut in Sonic Adventure 2 and has starred in other Sonic the Hedgehog video games ever since.

Who is Rouge?

Rouge is 18 (a typo in Sonic Heroes stated that she was 17 however) years of age. She has the same attacks as Knuckles, except she specializes in kicking. Rouge is treasure hunter who thinks all the world's gems belong to her. Her current jewel obsessions being the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds. She is also a government spy sent out to collect information on the so called "Ultimate Lifeform" Shadow.

Rouge's love life

It's often stated that Rouge has a crush on Knuckles. Supporters of this relationship frequently state that she can see his strong determination towards his duties and that makes her feelings for him even stronger. If this is the case, then it is probable that he likes her as well, but both are too stubborn to admit their feelings for each other. On the other hand, she acts flirtatious towards Sonic as well. She also likes to tease Tails, making him blush a lot. But, while her actions toward Knuckles could be somewhat genuine, she most likely flirts with the other guys just to be a tease, adding to her already mysterious nature. In Sonic Adventure 2, Knuckles and Rouge are very close to kissing, but they realize what they are doing and begin arguing. And in Sonic Heroes, they talk but after a few seconds Rouge decides to change the subject.


Many say that Rouge and Shadow the Hedgehog have a connection; this springing about because of her care towards Shadow in Sonic Battle where she lets him live with her after lacking a place to stay. While most would look at a normal person and shrug this behavior off thinking of it as something charitable and apart of her nature like many other people's... catch is: Rouge's nature really isn't charitable. She is in fact very self-centered most of the time, which makes this instance quite peculiar. Though whether feelings that aroused this course of action are romantic or platonic is an opinionated conclusion. So it's safe to say that Rouge and Shadow have a sort of brother-sister relationship. In Sonic X, when she first established the business transactions on helping Eggman and Shadow find the chaos emeralds, she seemed oddly interested in Shadow, she also called him, "charming". This, however, was almost indubitably because he was her objective, to find out whether or not he was truly the Ultimate Lifeform.

Game Appearances

Rouge's personality

On the outside Rouge is an ambitious vain, manipulative, calculating tell-it-like-it-is female who to most people would see as only caring for herself and her gems. However Sonic Battle would indicate that she can be fairly caring and sympathetic to her friends/comrades (ex: aiding Shadow by letting him live with her and her almost motherly behavior towards Emerl), and Sonic Heroes, she is a leaderlike figure who manages to end quarrel.

Overall, she would do something if the world were in trouble (ex: stopping an attack by Dr. Robotnik), which is why she is not always considered a "bad guy". Only problem is, her appearance and overall demeanor often contradicts that fact.
