Soniona

Soniona is the het ship between Sonic the Hedgehog and Fiona Fox from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Canon
After Princess Sally Acorn ended her long term relationship with Sonic after being lost in space for a year and believing he had died, Sally begged Sonic to stay on her side on the thrown and stop putting his own life at risk in the fight against Dr. Eggman but he declined so Sally slapped Sonic, calling him selfish and thus ending their relationship. It was then that Sonic began his relationship with Fiona Fox, at first their relationship was kept a secret until Miles "Tails" Prower was looking for Sonic and to his shock he finds Sonic was with Fiona whom of which Tails actually had a crush on since he met the Auto-Fiona and hoping the real Fiona herself would fall in love with him. Fiona explains that was just a robot created by Dr. Robotnik in her likeness when she was younger at Tails' age. Fiona also stated that while Fiona does like Tails as a friend but "not in a romantic way" to finally say that she prefers having a boyfriend closer to her own age, that boyfriend being Sonic. Tails flips out angry at Sonic and runs off crying, Sonic wanted to talk things out with Tails but Fiona insisted that he should leave him be.

Some other time later Fiona came to celebrate Sonic's birthday along with the other Freedom Fighters after fixing the Freedom Fighter headquarters but the party was then interrupted by Bean the Dynamite and Bark the Polar Bear, both were hired by Dr. Eggman to which they start a fight with the Freedom Fighters. After Fiona successfully helped out, it turns out that Fiona used to work with Bean and Bark to further reveal that Fiona had a bad past, Sally was harsh towards Fiona but Sonic stood by to support Fiona saying she is "a welcome part of the team." But then Bean made a call to Eggman who then sent the Croctobot for the Freedom Fighters to fight and a little later during that fight the newly reborn Evil-Sonic now known as Scourge the Hedgehog wanted to fight but they have a small truce to destroy Croctobot but then they go back fighting until Scourge along with Rouge the Bat managed to get away. Fiona tried to help out during this fight and thought Sonic's birthday was ruined but in actuality Sonic loves doing action.

When Rouge the Bat was being interrogated by the Chaotix, Fiona came to confess what she knew about Rouge while Sonic was with her to reassure her. After that was done Sonic and Fiona were taking a walk together when they see a distressed Tails, turned out Tails was being held hostage by Sleuth Dawg and before Sonic could retaliate back he was then immediately ambushed by Scourge. Scourge makes claims to Sonic that Fiona is his girlfriend, Sonic takes this as one of Scourge's lies. They stop fighting when Fiona made a deal with Sleuth to give the Warp Ring Rouge had used to get to Freedom Fighters HQ earlier thus releasing Tails and the two villains take off into the Warp Ring, Fiona gives a promise to Sonic saying whatever Scourge told him was not true and Sonic accepts Fiona's claim while Tails has a worried face like if he had a feeling was going on.

After a while, Fiona had been mysteriously disappearing when she was needed for some missions. It was not until Tails told Amy Rose what really had been happening with Fiona, while Amy was striking at Fiona with her Piko Piko Hammer, Amy comes to the conclusion that Fiona had taking blackmail from Sleuth Dawg and Fiona had indeed been cheating on Sonic with Scourge. Fiona boldly states no-one will believe Amy or Tails but Sonic had been listening the whole time stating he has always trusted Amy and Tails, and he wanted a talk with Fiona anyway to straight things out. As Sonic and Fiona walk together, the discuss all the things Fiona did to help out but there were things that didn't add up such as that Fiona didn't begin having an interest in Sonic until after Scourge was impersonating Sonic. Fiona finally reveals that she tried the hero thing and wished she found the same attraction Sonic. At last Scourge shows up and it becomes crystal clear that the lies were true and Fiona was putting her hands over Scourge. Suddenly Tails comes begging Fiona to not go with Scourge but Fiona maliciously slaps Tails. With Sonic shocked to see this happen to his buddy Sonic became furious at Fiona but Scourge intervenes. Fiona manages to kicks Sonic on the ground saying the way he holds back makes him weak but Amy comes striking again with her hammer. Scourge and Fiona had enough and took off into a Warp Ring.

The next time they meet they became enemies, no longer wearing her leotard, Fiona changed into a "bad girl" style outfit and now sporting a punk-ish hairstyle. However unlike Sonic, Scourge was more aggressive and threatening towards Fiona. Sonic soon came to ask Fiona why she betrayed the Freedom Fighters, Fiona never gave a clear reason why other than having a rough past. A common fan theory is that Scourge had corrupted Fiona into a bad person.

Fanon
Despite this pairing having ended badly, there is some fan interest in Soniona, although it is considered a rare pairing compared to most ships in the Sonic fanbase. This could be due to multiple reasons such as Fiona Fox being a comic book character and mainly the backlash from many fans following Fiona's actions post-#172 which had been caused by a bad writing decision by writer Ian Flynn. But never the less the fans of this pairing believe it is for the best to ignore what had happened, as a means to undo the damage that had been caused by Ian Flynn and to love the pairing for what it originally was such as cherishing the fact that Sonic was a much kinder and caring boyfriend towards Fiona and Fiona was a far happier person when she was with Sonic. Some of the fans feel that this pairing has great potential and deserves a place within the Sonic fandom.

One particular loyal fan, if not the pairings biggest fan in the world by the deviantArt username of Rocketeer-Raccoon became the founder of the deviantART group, SonicxFiona-Club to help support the Soniona pairing which is where the fandom for this ship is now mainly based.
