Sonamy

Sonamy is the het ship between Sonic and Amy from the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom.

Canon
In most canons, Amy is shown to have a crush on Sonic. However, Sonic rarely is shown returning these feelings.

Games
Amy usually does many things to win Sonic's heart, but because she is often very impulsive, she ends up embarrassing Sonic and making him feel uncomfortable, causing him to run away from her. When Amy gets angry, she often goes after him with her hammer. Despite everything, Sonic likes Amy a lot, because she's dedicated to him (Sonic Twitter Takeover #2) and he values that deep down. He protects and cares for her. Sometimes his heart is softened by Amy's devoted love for him and so he doesn't want her to walk away (as seen in Sonic Unleashed). When Amy is serious, he respects her decisions and always trusts that she does things for a reason (Japanese version of Sonic Adventure).

In Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Amy is introduced as an 8-year-old Sonic fangirl. According to the Japanese manual, she is an energetic and optimistic tomboy. She has the skills of cartomancy and dowsing. She likes mysterious things and fortune-telling. Amy wants to meet Sonic, so she shows up at Little Planet because the tarot cards told her that she had a fated encounter with him there, but she is kidnapped by Metal Sonic. In the end, Sonic saves her and she falls in love with him.

In Sonic Adventure, Amy expresses that she feels very bored in the city and that she misses the old days where she spent time with Sonic. She says there was always something fun to do when Sonic was around and that she wishes for adventure, fighting villains, and saving the day. She finds a Flicky (whom she calls Lily in Sonic X) and realizes that Eggman's robots are chasing him. Amy promises that she will protect the Flicky. Upon meeting Sonic, he reacts surprised to see her. Amy asks Sonic to be the bird's bodyguard, to which he replies "No way! Uh, uh!", and then he leaves. Shortly after, Sonic is waiting for Amy and they meet the robot. Sonic tells her not to panic, because he will take care of the robot. Amy is distracted because she sees Twinkle Park and an advertisement that says "cute couples get in for free", plus invites Sonic in and then heads to the park. Sonic responds: "W-W-Wait! I give up, she's so weird!" And then he goes after her. Sonic loses Amy and the robot catches her. Sonic goes to save her and mentions: "Hey there, bolt brain! You better give Amy to me or I'll squash ya!", But the robot takes her away. In the Egg Carrier, Amy is about to escape, but is stopped by Eggman. Sonic arrives to rescue her, but Eggman makes her fight with E-102 Gamma. When Sonic goes to give the last blow, Amy stops him and tells him that the robot let her escape. Sonic agrees and asks Tails to get her out of there. Amy realizes that she is very weak and does not want to be a burden to Sonic, so she decides to become stronger, promising that she will do her best, and that she will make Sonic respect her.

In the original Japanese version, the dialogue changes a bit. When Amy meets Sonic for the first time, he is very surprised to see her and even gets nervous. Amy asks him to be the Flicky's bodyguard and Sonic says: "Eh!?" Amy informs him that even if he says no, she will follow him. Sonic then closes his eyes and comments in a low voice: "I guess I don't have a choice..." Then Amy begins to chase him, while asking him to wait for her. Sonic stays in a corner to wait for her. Amy catches up with him and tells him he's too fast. Eggman's robot arrives and Amy tells Sonic. Sonic laughs and gets into a defensive position and then tell her that there is no problem, because he will take care of it. Amy screams in surprise and he asks her what happened. Amy gets excited because she saw Twinkle Park and couples get in for free, which is why she goes to the park and invites Sonic to hang out with her. Sonic pronounces: "A-Amy, wait-wait-wait-wait, just wait a minute! Sheesh, I guess I have no choice…" The robot manages to kidnap Amy and Sonic goes to save her, for which he says to the robot: "He, hey, hey! Egman's robot! I'm taking Amy back from you!" Unfortunately, the robot escapes. In the Egg Carrier, Sonic is about to give Gamma the last blow, but Amy stops him. Sonic tells her to move, because that's Eggman's robot. Amy explains that the robot let her get away and asks Sonic to please stop the fight. Sonic says in a very low voice: "Amy..." After reflecting for a few moments, he assures her in a calm tone: "I understand... I guess you have your reasons."

In Sonic Battle, Amy thinks that Sonic has adopted Emerl as a test to see if she can be a good mother.

In Sonic Rush, Amy hears Sonic talking about Blaze and tells Sonic not to cheat on her with another girl. Sonic gets nervous and doesn't know how to explain the situation, so he asks Tails for help.

In Sonic Riders, Amy enters the race to be close to Sonic. In the end, Amy is taken hostage by Eggman. Sonic rescues her but creating a tornado (in which she was trapped) and making her fall to the ground. Amy asks Sonic what he was up to by rescuing her like that. Sonic lowers his eyes and tells her that he thought she wouldn't mind. Amy is enraged and runs after him to hit him with the hammer.

In Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy advises Elise not to give up on her crush, without imagining that they both like the same person. In the end, even after Elise kisses Sonic, Amy continues to support her.

In Sonic Riders Zero Gravity, Amy finds an Ark of the Cosmos, so she is hunted by the Babylon Rogues and a few robots. Sonic protects her several times during the game.

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for Nintendo DS, Amy is very excited to be able to go with Sonic on the adventure. Although she does not lose sight of defeating Eggman, she says that she will use the trip to steal his heart, for which Sonic is embarrassed.

Since Sonic Free Riders, Amy seems to be bossier and more in love with Sonic than before. This is probably due to the lighter and more humorous nature of recent Sonic games. Amy's personality has added more of a humorous factor in games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations with her obsession with Sonic, causing her to say silly and embarrassing things.

In Sonic Lost World, Amy begins to act with greater maturity. Sonic communicates with Amy with the Miles Electric throughout the entire game. In one of the calls, Amy is about to die and wants to confess her love to Sonic, "I'm sorry Sonic... I never got to say..." But the call is cut off. Sonic looks very worried. At the end, Sonic greets her saying, "Hey, Amy! Looks like springtime’s come early!" When Sonic approaches her, she doesn't hug him and lets him rest. In the Japanese version, Amy says: "I-Im sorry. It seems like we will soon be at… at our limit… And I had so many things I wanted to… tell you..." At the end, Sonic greets her: "Yo, Amy! Glad to see you're okay." Then he claims that the weather is fine, so it's better for everyone to just relax. Sonic lays down on the grass and then Amy laughs. As she approaches the hedgehog, she says, "You're right!"

In Sonic Runners, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles rescue Amy, but she breaks the Death Egg's circuits with a single hit of her hammer. Knuckles wonders if she really needed to be rescued. Amy tells Sonic that she was very scared, but that she knew he would come to rescue her, because he is her prince and she is her princess, and that is her fairytale romance. Sonic stops her by telling her that she is going too fast and is forgetting something. Amy wishes him happy birthday.

In Team Sonic Racing, for the first time in a canon video game, Sonic and Amy showed a more open relationship. The two interact without making Sonic feel awkward. Amy no longer just tries to hug and kiss Sonic when she's with him. Amy's character began to be developed further.

Manga
In the early 1992 Shogakukan manga, Nicky (Sonic's alter ego) is dating a brown hedgehog called Eimi (an early version of Amy Rose). Eimi also has feelings for Sonic and both Nicky and Eimi are unaware of the fact that Sonic is in fact Nicky. Eimi is also the target of bully Anton Veruca. Every time Eimi was kidnapped by Anton or someone else, Nicky wanted to be that much stronger. That's why he transformed into Sonic. When he returned to normal, he did not remember the things he did during his transformation and he became jealous of himself, as Eimi spoke too highly of Sonic.

Pre-Super Genesis Wave
In the Sonic The Hedgehog and Sonic Universe comics, their relationship is similar to the games. The comics started as a promotion for animated series, so Sonic has a relationship with Sally Acorn from the beginning. For this reason, Amy starts out as an 8-year-old girl who is Sonic's pen pal and not his love interest. Amy is devoted to Sonic and is always trying to help him. After the release of Sonic Adventure, the writers had to adapt the character to her redesign of 12 years old. For this reason, Amy started to be like in the games, but Sonic was still interested in Sally and other girls. Despite everything, Amy supported Sonic and Sally's relationship, even defending them from paparazzi and letting them go on dates. However, she never gave up and kept thinking that one day Sonic would fall in love with her.

At one point, Sonic and Amy start dating but their relationship does not last long (in fact, it's shorter than most of Sonic's relationships) and it turns back into the one-sided relationship it used to be.

Post-Super Genesis Wave
In the reboot Sega rewrote the mandates, so Sally no longer had a relationship with Sonic. Nevertheless, Sonic and Amy's relationship continued as in the games. There are small moments between the two from time to time. For example, when Sonic The Werehog learned that Amy was leaving with Knuckles in issue #272, the echidna asked him if he was jealous in a joking manner.

In the Sonic Mega Drive comics, Sonic and Tails save Amy in Flower Park Zone. Tails tease Sonic by asking if she is his girlfriend. Sonic tells him "no," and that he already has too many people following him. At the beginning, Sonic does not want her to accompany them, because he thinks that she will be kidnapped again, but Amy shows him that she is no longer defenseless. Tails asks Sonic if she can come, and Sonic agrees. It is an unofficial comic that narrates the beginning of the friendship between Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles.

Sonic The Comic
Amy was initially arrested by Dr. Robotnik, as she claimed to be Sonic's girlfriend. Sonic rescues her and learns of the lie, which annoys him. To Sonic's horror, he realizes that Amy is now a fugitive and has nowhere to go, so she has to be part of the resistance. This version of Amy managed to kiss Sonic twice. She mostly teased Sonic on purpose, making the others think they were both dating. This irritated Sonic to such an extent that once, when he was trapped with her on Miracle Planet, he pretended to be lost for two days. Although Amy was caught several times by the enemy and rescued by Sonic, she never whimpered and never asked for mercy. In fact, she encouraged Sonic to keep fighting even when she was in danger and even kept bothering Sonic while she was saved.

IDW Publishing comics
Amy is much more mature and is the one who organizes the resistance. When Amy tells Sonic that she loves him just the way he is, Sonic seems far more interested in being with her than in the canon, and even invites her to come with him on his journey. She does not accept the invitation because of her work in the resistance. In the following issues it seems that Sonic wants to spend much more time with her.

Sonic X
Their relationship is similar to the games but there are also scenes where Sonic might return the feelings.

In "Cracking Knuckles", Amy invites him to come for a picnic. Sonic replies with a "no." In the English version, Sonic tells her that he has already gone to Silver Valley, while the original Japanese has Amy saying that she found a "beautiful place for a picnic." Sonic questions if it's precious and then says "no." In both versions, Amy, Tails, and Chris are kidnapped by Eggman. Sonic rescues them, and when the hedgehog goes to help Amy up, she hugs him. Sonic seems somewhat uncomfortable at first, but when she pulls away a bit, he looks at her with a softer expression. However, he becomes uncomfortable again when she hugs him again. Eggman's robot gets up and attacks them, but Sonic never let go of Amy's waist, not even when they start to take cover from Eggman's missiles. He only let go of her when he goes to save Knuckles. At the end, Amy hugs him again, asking if he's okay. Sonic looks less uncomfortable and replies with a smile that "he's fine."

In "The Last Resort", Amy wants to give Sonic a bracelet. Amy falls into the sea after fighting Dr. Eggman for breaking the bracelet. Sonic goes to save her, still not knowing how to swim. In the end, Sonic fixes the bracelet and places it on his arm. In the Japanese version it is mentioned that the bracelet is an omamori that Amy made with the intention of bringing good luck to Sonic and protecting him from water.

In "Sonic's Scream Test", Ella, Amy, Cream, and Cheese are ambushed by ghosts. They all scream and Sonic says, "Sounds like Amy." Sonic is caught. Although she is scared, Amy goes to rescue him. King Boom Boo tries to trick Amy and pretends to be Sonic. The ghost says nice things to her, while giving Amy some instructions. She blushes and does every single thing the voice tells her. Still pretending to be Sonic, the ghost tells Amy that he "loves her," to which she shyly responds that [he] not declare his love in front of Chris. When Amy discovers that she was tricked, she tries to fight, but cannot and is possessed by one of the ghosts. Sonic is freed and the first thing he does is free Amy. Sonic asks her if she's okay, and Amy hugs him. In the Japanese version, when Ella, Cream, Cheese and Amy scream, Sonic just says, "Amy?!"

In "Cruise Blues", Amy wants to spend time with Sonic, but she can't because he can't stop moving from the anxiety of being on a cruise ship. As he doesn't stop running, Amy stops him and tells him to act mature. Sonic hears her but gets depressed about it. At another point, Sonic devises a plan to get out of the ship, but to do so he flirts with Amy in private and asks her to move her hammer from one side to the other, because he likes to see her use the hammer. Amy finds out that he lied to her and angrily begins to chase him with the hammer, but when she finally catches him, she only sits on his back as punishment.

In "Fast Friends", Amy greets Sonic at the finish line of the race. Sonic tells her to let go of him, but he makes no effort to detach himself.

In "How to Catch a Hedgehog", Amy is kidnapped by Eggman, but before he can take her away, Sonic rescues her. They both fall into a haystack and lie down to admire the landscape. Amy starts talking to Sonic, but he doesn't listen to her because he has a chip stuck in his ear. Sonic can't control his speed and Amy regrets it because she thought he wasn't really paying attention to her. It even has a scene of her looking at the moon, wondering where he is. At the end of the episode, Sonic manages to remove the chip after saving Amy. The episode ends with both falling back into the haystack, where they lie down again to relax. In the Japanese version of "A Robot Rebels" Amy is kidnapped on Dr. Eggman's ship. While there, she tells Lily that if a person keeps thinking about the person they love, their thoughts will reach the other’s. Amy starts saying Sonic's name in her mind. Sonic, who is on top of the X Tornado, hears Amy calling out to him in his thoughts. This was cut from the English version, as was a scene where Amy tells Lily that she wanted to make Sonic dinner and that she wished he was the one to chase her from now on.

In "Heads Up, Tails!", Amy manages to get out of the cell. Sonic arrives to save Amy, but Eggman discovers her before she can leave. Sonic tells Eggman to mess with someone his own size and Amy breaks free from Eggman's hold. Gamma and Sonic begin to fight, while Amy tries to stop them. When Sonic is about to give the robot the last blow, Amy gets in the way. Sonic yells at her to get away, because that doesn't concern her. She tells him that the robot is not bad and asks him not to destroy it. Sonic smiles at her and tells her that it's okay, that a friend of hers is a friend of his. Sonic goes to find Dr. Eggman, but not before asking Tails to get Amy out of the Egg Carrier. In the Japanese version, when Sonic sees Eggman stopping Amy, he jokingly tells him: "You should woo a better girl, Eggman!" Amy is happy to see Sonic but is angered by what he said. When Amy stops Sonic from giving the last blow to Gamma, he yells at her to get away and that he is going to destroy the robot because it belongs to Eggman. She tells him that the robot is not bad and asks him not to destroy it. Sonic smiles at her and tells her that it's okay, that there must be some reason why she stopped him.

In "Sonic's Big Break", Amy rescues Sonic from prison. At first Amy starts talking playfully and Sonic plays along. A robot tries to catch Amy and she hits him with the hammer. Sonic says, "Amy, that was great!" After a conversation about Shadow, Sonic asks her to tell him where the black hedgehog is. She asks him if he will take her to do something fun if she tells him where Shadow is. Sonic smiles at her and tells her that he doesn't need to go out with her, because there is nothing more fun than the situation they are in. Amy regrets not being able to go out with him, but then she smiles and tells him where Shadow is. When Amy breaks the exit door, Sonic compliments her, saying "not bad, Amy" and then they start to leave. In the Japanese version, when Amy hits the robot, Sonic exclaims in admiration: "Wow… Good job!" Amy calmly tells him that if he wants to know where the black hedgehog he is looking for is, he has to go out with her. Sonic tells her with a friendly smile to step aside, because it will break the bars of the cell. Then Amy tells him where Shadow is and, when Amy breaks the exit door, Sonic says, "That's our Amy." Upon leaving prison, Sonic asks Tails to take care of Amy and then leaves.

In "A Date to Forget", Amy mentions that Sonic asked her out, but he hasn't arrived. Out of anger, she leaves with Sam, who arrives at that moment because Sonic has a date with him too that day. Sonic is battling Bokkun, but in the middle of the fight, he blames the robot for not being able to make the appointment. In the end, Sam is reminded that his date with Sonic is at night, not in the day. Both Sam and Amy watch the sunset on the beach. Sonic finds them and apologizes for being late. She goes to hug him, but before she can do it, he gets out of the way and goes to compete with Sam. Amy is left alone on the beach. In the Japanese version, Sonic specifically says, "Amy, sorry I'm late." While in the English version it is not specified with which of the two he apologized.

In "Prize Fights", Sonic and Amy go to fight in a competition. Amy doesn't want to fight with the person she loves. Sonic gets nervous and asks Chris to convince Amy to fight. Chris tells him he can't. Amy mentions that Sonic doesn't want to fight either, because he cares about her. Amy approaches him sadly and tells him that she understands. Sonic backs off and asks what she understands. Eggman shoots Amy but does not hit because Sonic takes her in his arms and takes her out of the way. Amy expresses: "Oh, well. At least now I know how he feels about me." In the Japanese version, Amy mentions that Sonic is doing the same as her, he also hesitates to fight her. Sonic asks her not to come near, as he begins to walk backwards even more nervous. Amy expresses that Sonic is still very shy. The episode ends with Scarlet Garcia saying, "What a great surprise! After acting as protector… Sonic has left the ring."

In "A New Start", Sonic promises to never leave Amy and gives her a rose. However, in the original Japanese version, the conversation is a bit different and Amy asks him if he loves her. What Sonic says to Amy is not heard, as it is censored by the background song Natsu no Hi. This song was replaced by the second ending song Hikaru Michi on the DVD version, due to copyright issues. Therefore, the audience does not know what he said and the answer remains a secret between Sonic and Amy.

In "Cosmic Crisis", Amy steps out to the front of the Blue Typhoon and Sonic turns to smile at her. They look at each other smiling for several seconds from afar, without anyone noticing.

In "H2 Whoa", Amy saves Sonic on the water planet Secco.

In "Trick Sand", Amy suggests that she and Sonic team up to investigate a planet and search for a Chaos Emerald. Tails protests, but she replies, "I'll tell you why. Throughout history, behind every great hero there's a great woman guiding him." Tails looks at Sonic and asks if that's true. Sonic has no idea. Amy gets a bit upset because Knuckles comes with the two of them at Tails' decision. She tells Knuckles to stay away from them and holds Sonic's arm as they walk across the bridge. Sonic makes no effort to let go. They only part when Knuckles teases Sonic. The three go into a mansion in which Amy freaks out several times, clinging to Sonic. Finally, to get out of there, Sonic tells her to hold on tightly. In the Japanese version, Tails protests, not because the idea of ​​Amy going with Sonic seems bad, but because he is the captain. Amy responds, "What are you talking about? On every heroic journey there is a beautiful girl." Tails looks at Sonic, but he doesn't care.

In "Mission: Match Up", Sonic gets nervous because Amy dons a fancy pink dress.

In "Clash in the Cloister", Sonic yells at Amy, as she wants to fight, but he thinks that enemy is too dangerous. Amy returns to the Blue Typhoon.

In "The Planet of Misfortune", Amy takes Sonic to practice rituals to ensure the future of both, then they go to a fortuneteller. Sonic stays with her all the time, but he seems a bit boring. After Amy breaks the Romance Rock, Sonic takes advantage of the fact that she is distracted to run away. A Marmolim asks Amy if that does not mean he doesn't love her. Amy replies, "That isn’t true. Whenever I get into trouble, Sonic always comes running to save me. I’ll never forget when we both got back from Chris’s world. Sonic picked a flower for me. He said, 'This is for you, Amy.', 'Oh, Sonic!'" In the Japanese version, Amy says, "You are wrong! No matter what he says, he always rescues me when I'm in trouble. And when he came back from Chris's world, he picked a flower, gave it to me, and said, 'Oh, Amy…'" At that point she is interrupted.

In "Terror on the Typhoon", there is a short moment of Sonic injured and Amy taking care of his injuries.

In "Agent of Mischief", Amy's ship is smashed by a Metarex and Sonic goes to save her. The two hold each other, tired of fighting. The Metarex speak to Sonic, mentioning how pathetic their fight is. Amy is so worried about Sonic, she asks him to stop fighting, because she doesn't want to see him die. Sonic tells her that he can't give up without a fight. The Metarex attack Sonic and he says not to harm Amy. He throws Amy to protect her, while he is trapped in planet Aqurius. Amy yells out Sonic's name. In the Japanese version, when Amy asks Sonic to stop fighting, he closes his eyes and bravely continues to speak to the Metarex. He never says a single word to her. The Metarex attack Sonic. Seeing the danger, Sonic apologizes to Amy and throws her to protect her.

In "The Light in the Darkness", Sonic is trapped on planet Aqurius. Amy jumps out of her exploded ship and lands on the planet. Sonic takes her in his arms, as they fall even further into the water. Amy begins to excitedly think that Sonic saved her. A sphere surrounds them and heals their wounds. They both smile, as the sphere takes them out of danger. In the Japanese version, when Sonic has her in his arms, she thinks that she will not leave him there and that everyone will go home. It is also mentioned that the sphere was created by the planet's egg.

In "A Fearless Friend", The ship where they are standing is destroyed, Amy is about to fall, but Sonic saves her and they both smile. The Metarex steal the energy from all living things and robots. Only the plants are left with energy. Amy is the first to start to lose energy, which is why Sonic asks her worriedly if she is okay. In the Japanese version, when Sonic suggests that they launch him in his Super form using the Sonic Driver. Tails begins to explain the consequences of doing so, so Amy becomes concerned and protests. Sonic tells her and the others not to worry, as he will return. Chris asks Sonic if he promises, and he answers "yes".

In the unofficial American comics, the relationship is the same as its anime counterpart. Amy is too infatuated with Sonic, which is why she hugs him and thinks about romantic things constantly. Sonic lets her do whatever she wants, but often runs away from her. On many occasions they work together to defeat the enemy.

In issue #1, Sonic has a run with Sam. Amy wants to throw a ring at Sonic to help him, but Cream stops her to explain that doing so would be cheating and that Sonic would never cheat. However, Sonic wants to have a ring, but immediately thinks that Amy will be mad at him if he cheats.

In issue #10, Sonic and Amy are trapped in Marble Zone. Amy falls into the lava, but is saved by having rings with her. Sonic tells her that it's a relief that she's okay.

In issue #11, Knuckles says that Sonic is Amy's boyfriend. Sonic tells him that they are not dating.

In issue #16, Sonic has an actual date with Amy, due to losing a bet with Knuckles. Dr. Eggman says he waited all those years for Sonic and Amy to start dating, only to ruin their happiness. Eggman tries to ruin the date, but fails. At the end, Amy asks Sonic if he would go out with her again, and he replies, "Maybe?"

In issue #33, Vector tells Knuckles that Sonic asked the Chaotix dating advice in issue #16. Amy listens to him and thinks: "'Dating Advice'…? I Knew Sonic liked me! He's just too shy to admit it!"

Sonic Boom
Amy has a crush on Sonic but unlike the games, she keeps it a secret, and Sonic is implied to return her feelings but feel awkward about acknowledging them. There are scenes where SonAmy really shines though, like in one episode, U.T. revealed that Sonic cares for Amy's well being. Sonic appears to get jealous on several occasions. Various references are made to their relationship in the games. Sonic stutters with nervousness when someone suggests that they are in a relationship and even denies that she is his girlfriend. Although the same show corrects him saying that Sonic is not telling the truth, in a way.

In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, there is no SonAmy moment, but you can see some great teamwork on the part of the two. Even Sonic stops once to look at the horizon because Amy asked him to. The moment didn't last long, due to Sonic's impatience, but it's quite an achievement considering that he doesn't like to be still.

In Shattered Crystal, Amy is kidnapped while exploring runes alone. Sonic and his friends go to rescue her, but there is no SonAmy moment.

In Fire and Ice, there is no SonAmy moment, but again we see teamwork and a scene where they do a fist bump.

In the unofficial comics, the relationship of the two is the same as in the series. Amy is secretly in love with Sonic, and he likes her in secret. The only moment they have together is in issue #3, when Amy loses her hammer and hugs Sonic when he finds it.

Fanon
Sonamy is one of the most popular, if not the most popular, pairing in the Sonic series.

Its most common rival ship in the Archie comics is Sonally. Despite the fact that Sally and Amy are friends in said comics, fans often cast one as the antagonist of the other. There are often arguments among fans about which is the best match for Sonic. Sonamy is notably more popular among fans of the games, Sonic X or Sonic Boom, as Sally does not appear in any of them as Amy does.

Fans pairing Sonic with Amy for the figure skating event in Mario &amp; Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games had inspired them to base some of their Sonamy skating fanart on it. Along with other pair up events from the other Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series.

On the Twitter Takeovers #2, #3 and #4 made on the official Sonic the Hedgehog account, Sonic seems to get very nervous when fans ask if he likes Amy. He mostly tries not to talk about it and never answers, although the question is related to something the Sonic Team said. Shadow even asked him if "[he']s running away from [his] feelings", but Sonic runs off. Tails mentions: "Well, one thing's for sure now, the Sonamy fans are gonna go nuts."

Trivia

 * Amy Rose was created by Kazuyuki Hoshino, as a "Minnie" for her "Mickey" (Sonic). According to his statements, the first thing they thought was that "Sonic needed a girlfriend," but this went against Sonic's attitude, so it was decided that Amy would be the one to pursue him. Sonic Team thought that a one-sided relationship would be more interesting.
 * Kazuyuki Hoshino confirmed that the 1992 manga was a marketing strategy and that the Sonic Team was involved in its creation.
 * Report of issue #5 of Sonic The Comic on Sonic CD in July 1993: "New girlfriend, new pals, new games - all on the way! I'ts official! Sonic has a girlfriend! She is pink, she's spiky, she's very cute and her name is Amy Rose. Amy who wears pink skirts and has hedgehogs-delicious eyes, is the girl after Sonic's heart, and is set to make her debut in Sonic Mega CD game later this year. Sonic is no softy, though. Amy Rose can flutter her eyes all she likes but he will be able to resist her… won't he? STC is one of the first magazines in the world to have a picture of Amy Rose and, as you can see, she certainly seems destined for megastar status."
 * In the English manual of Sonic CD, the name "Amy Rose" was changed to "Princess Sally." This was done to promote the animated series Sonic The Hedgehog (1993) without permission from SEGA of Japan. This was be corrected in future manuals.
 * "Amy" could be derived from the Japanese word ame, which means sweet, this because of her tender and friendly personality, although it could be from the French Aimée, which means "beloved". It could also come from the name Amanda, which also means "beloved". The rose, in which her surname is derived from, is a flower related to love, associated with her love for Sonic. "Rose" is French for pink, alluding to her fur color. In some countries it can mean "as beautiful as that flower". This would mean that her name literally means "beloved rose".
 * Amy suspects that Sonic loves her, which is why she calls herself his girlfriend, even though they are not dating.Amy Sonic Generations.png

 * Some people have considered that she may have a mental illness, however this could be due to poor writing and not for the character's personality.
 * Nigel Kitching admitted in a Yahoo! conversation that he never understood Sonic and Amy's relationship. He never knew if Amy was really interested in Sonic or if she was just pretending to see the reaction that she caused in him. He also explained that he hoped to do a story where Johnny Lightfoot would flirt with Amy, and Sonic would get jealous. At that moment, Sonic would realize that he had feelings for the girl that bothered him the most. He further explained: "But what Amy was not and never was some weak soppy character who swooned over Sonic like a silly little girl. Well, she did but we were never quite sure if she just doing it for a laugh."
 * Sonic Underground is one of the few known Sonic franchises that Amy doesn't appear in. Even though Sonia the Hedgehog, Sonic's sister in the cartoon, has a similar pink color scheme to Amy and some parts of Sonia's personality are also a bit like Amy's as well.Amy Redising for SA.png

 * In an interview, Yuji Naka was asked if Sonic and Amy would ever get married. His answer was: "There will be hardly any chance, I bet. Amy will continue to pursue Sonic all the time, but Sonic will not ever get married. I think so, because I cannot picture the image of Sonic that he is married and has his children! Also, I feel it is a more Amy's style to always chase Sonic."
 * In Sonic Battle, Amy has a move called "Amy Run". The game indicates that she has a good running ability, as she is used to chasing Sonic.Rouge and Sonic conversation Battle.png
 * In the Japanese version of Sonic Battle, when Rouge flirts with Sonic, he says, "Unfortunately, I'm not inconvenient for my girlfriend." This happens when no one else is seeing them.

 * Sega Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works (2014), page 289. Kazuyuki Hoshino: “Although I created the in-game graphics for Amy, there were many people involved in the birth of the character, with staff members from various departments all contributing ideas. Just like Mickey needs Minnie to exist, Sonic's world needed a heroine that could not be ignored. Her fashion - the head piece and trainers - reflect Naoto Ohshima's taste, while her mannerisms reflect the kind of traits I looked for in women at the time."
 * In the episode "A New Start" of Sonic X, after saving Tails, Sonic goes straight to Amy's house. In the English version they removed the sign that read: "The House of Amy Rose."
 * Many have tried to find out what Sonic says to Amy in the episode "A New Start" in Sonic X, but opinions are divided. One thing that is certain is that, when you read Sonic's lips, it seems that he is saying 愛してるエイミー (Aishiteru Eimi, "I love you, Amy.") However, it seems that this was changed in the third season, because in the episode "The Planet of Misfortune", Amy says that he told her, "Oh, Amy..." before she was interrupted.

 * In an interview for Comicosity, Freiberger said: "Another element from the mythology that we're dealing with very “judiciously” is how Amy feels about Sonic. In our show, we've hinted at the fact that Amy has romantic feelings for Sonic, but she's not obsessed with him. She's not crazed. But everyone knows it's there, just below the surface… even Eggman. In one of the episodes, he comes out and asks, 'Hey Sonic, bro to bro, what's up with you and Amy?'" He also added: "And of course, there’s always a bit of SonAmy just below the surface."
 * A fan asked Freiberger if the SonAmy was canon in Sonic Boom. He replied, "No. We didn't make that episode."
 * Ian Flynn has expressed that Sega imposed the mandate that Sonic cannot have a girlfriend in the IDW Comics, but Amy can't stop being in love with Sonic.

 * Ken Penders tweeted: "As SEGA doesn't want Sonic to have a girlfriend, are they establishing he's a player, gay or asexual? Just what sort of image do they want him to have? These are the kinds of character questions writers ask all the time." This implies that he did not know that the Sonamy existed.
 * In Sonic Forces: Speed ​​Battle, there have been several events with Sonic and Amy as the protagonists of friendly competitions. All-Star Amy and Slugger Sonic, two skins with baseball clothes, were even introduced. One of the missions read: "Save one for the wedding! Collect 40 rings in battle."

 * A fan asked Evan Stanley if Sonic would have a romantic interest in the IDW comics, to which she replied: "I mean technically he has one? Sonic Team's official stance is that while Sonic does like-like Amy, he's simply not interested in a serious relationship at this point in his life. Amy knows this, and is content with being good friends. Not every story needs to have an intense romance, and not every character needs to be into that. There’s plenty of fan-made content to provide it if you really need that fix."
 * In the official Sonic Channel website, there were a series of manga of Sonic characters. In Amy's manga, she is sitting guessing her future. The crystal ball tells her that, on that day, "the person she is waiting for will come." Amy doesn't know who it might be, so she puts some cookies in the oven while she waits.

 * Amy has been heavily criticized by fans and by video game reporters. Some find her sweet and cuddly, others think she is a bad example. These opinions are derived from the fact that she is the Japanese cliché of the girl who falls in love with the boy, although he is not interested yet. But despite everything, a 2006 character popularity poll was done on the official Sonic Channel. Amy was one of the most popular, ranking number five. This allows the Sonic Team to sell Sonic and Amy merchandise in Japan.
 * The version of Amy in Sonic Battle and Sonic Free Riders, are considered by many fans as one of the worst versions of the character and possibly one of the worst written.
