For other appearances of the character, see Amy Rose (disambiguation).

Rosy the Rascal, formerly known as Anti-Amy Rose, (born day 186, 3226)^{[note 1]}is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. She was the Moebius counterpart of Amy Rose. Shown to be mentally unstable, Rosy seeks to attack just about anyone who gets close to her, and constantly haunts Scourge the Hedgehog for ignoring her.

Appearance[]

Rosy looks similar to Classic Amy. She is a mobian hedgehog with a round head. She has pink fur that covers most of her body and peach skin on her muzzle, inner ears and arms, and green eyes with two medium-length eyelashes on each one. She also has five short quills on the back of her head, two triangular ears on top of her head, a black button nose and a fringe consisting of three small quills. Protruding from her back is one additional quill - slightly smaller than the ones on her head - and a short, pointy tail.

For attire, Rosy wears a yellow-ruffled skirt, green puffy-sleeved white shirt, white socks, blue sneakers with white shoelaces and soles, white wrist-length gloves, and red hairband.

History[]

Increase in Age[]

Rosy and Amy both share similar historical scenarios. Like Amy, Anti-Amy used a special ring (it is unknown if it was the Anti-Mobius version of the Ring of Acorns or not) to make herself older so that Scourge wouldn't ignore her attacks.^[1] However, the jolt of energy from the magic ring made Rosy go insane.^[2]

Sought out by Sonic and Amy[]

Rosy lurked around in Moebius' Castle Acorn, waiting for Scourge to come back to her. Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy, with the help of Buns Rabbot, attempted to recruit her to help defeat Scourge and his Suppression Squad, who had recently invaded Freedom HQ in Mobius Prime. When asked for her help, Anti-Amy explains that Scourge would often ignore her attacks, thus the reason she used the 'special ring' to make herself older. However it was noted by Sonic that there were side effects to this, as Rosy doesn't look or act older. She revealed that the transformation went wrong, causing her to become psychologically insane, and thus began attacking the trio.^[2]

During the battle, after Sonic tried to reason with her that he's a good guy, Rosy responded "You're a Sonic! My Scourgey is a Sonic! I want to smash Sonics!" Amy retorted, stating that they were like sisters being counterparts, but Rosy wanted to defeat her nonetheless saying "you're breathing, that's good enough for me!" As the four engaged in battle, Buns used her riot foam in an attempt to prevent her from moving, though Rosy simply destroyed the foam with her hammer. After this, Amy went on to keep Rosy distracted so that Buns and Sonic could locate the Globe Posts that had been stolen from Anti-Robotnik before. Buns was concerned about leaving Amy to fight for herself, though Sonic informed her she could take care of herself. Buns then protected Sonic while he went through the Globe Posts to see what was going on in Mobius.

The battle was soon lost however, as Rosy broke Amy's hammer. Just as Rosy noticed the Globe Posts and was about to smash them, Buns got in the way to give Amy time to get Sonic back. However, due to the betrayal of the Suppression Squad, Scourge was sent back to his world along with Sonic before shutting down the Globe and Star Posts. Just as Scourge got angry at his team's betrayal, the group realized Rosy had defeated Buns', trashing the Omega Care Unit, leaving her powerless.^[3]

Scourge looked on in fear as Rosy prepared to gain her revenge for being ignored for so long, but he managed to fend her off. The fight was interrupted when Shadow arrived by using Chaos Control. Though he was actually looking for the Special Zone, Sonic asked if he wanted to help defeat Scourge, to which he agrees. After the arrival of Metal Sonic, Rob o' the Hedge, and Silver the Hedgehog, Rosy was convinced along with the rest of them to work together and defeat Scourge, calling Sonic the "bestest". Scourge, refusing to give up, used the Anarchy Beryl in his throne to transform into Super Scourge.^[4]

She was temporarily defeated by Super Scourge, but recovered quickly and tried to "squish" him, but Scourge's invulnerability prevented this and he threw her into a wall where she fell into unconsciousness. Following this, she was then tied up by Rob o' the Hedge. What became of Rosy after Super Scourge was defeated is currently unknown, although it can be presumed that she remained on Moebius to terrorize the Suppression Squad as always.^[5]

Personality[]

Rosy is extremely violent, eccentric, sadistic, and single-minded, eager to stalk and "break" things, mainly people while retaining distorted signs of a cutesy, childish demeanor. This is reflected in her speech, in which she often uses nicknames and simplified terms in a sing-song tone.^[2] She herself seems aware that the magic ring she used on herself "broke" her mind, but appears unconcerned with this fact, as her only focus now is Scourge.^[3][4] Also unlike her counterpart, she will not hold back when attacking and will hit her opponent with full force, which is strong enough to leave a huge dent in a large building, or quite possibly kill someone. Her hammer can even break Amy's Piko Piko Hammer, even though the two hammers are the same in strength, possibly due to rage and sadism. She is a character with a burning desire for revenge, especially on Scourge for wronging her, and will not stop at anything to get her ruthless revenge.^[5]

Powers and abilities[]

Rosy is shown to share the same agility, attacks, and moves as the original Amy.

Weapons[]

Rosy uses her own Moebius-exclusive Piko Piko Hammer, somewhat similar to Amy's. However, Rosy's hammer is much more dangerous than Amy's, with it having sharp points, which if used right, could tear clothing and possibly, even scar someone badly.

Relationships[]

Scourge the Hedgehog[]

Compared to Amy's crush on Sonic, Rosy is obsessed with Scourge the Hedgehog. However, this obsession is decidedly twisted as she would love nothing more than to smash him with her hammer, resenting him for ignoring her attacks in the past—somewhat like Amy, she hopes that her "Sonic" will take notice of her. She continues to refer to him by the pet name "Scourgey" and makes kissy-faces while taking great delight at the prospect of hurting him.

Amy Rose[]

Rosy can be perfectly described as what Amy would've become if Sonic had rejected and ignored her advances for him completely. Rosy is similar to Amy, as they both have crushes on their respective counterparts, Scourge and Sonic, whereas with Rosy, it's an addictive obsession, whereas with Amy, it's just a normal attraction. Sonic even jokingly states to Amy that Rosy is somewhat similar to her with the fact they're both obsessive and "clingy".
