Rouge the Bat is an anthropomorphic bat from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an agent of GUN and part time jewel thief, though sometimes she is seen contracting work for Dr. Eggman or whoever will pay her the most. She often takes up the role of an anti-hero in the series, providing Sonic the Hedgehog and friends with info and assets they need for her own gain.

Background information

Rouge has worked for GUN since her very first appearance in Sonic Adventure 2. She frequently demands payments in jewels, and takes part in their secret missions sometimes to benefit her own profit. In Sonic X, though, Rouge is coerced into joining the government after being captured and arrested from various high-profile jewelry thefts she committed. Temporarily, she was also one of Eggman's henchmen, and still finds herself attracted to the good doctor's antics despite no longer working for him. Since then, however, Rouge has made more of her spare time hanging around Shadow the Hedgehog and e-123 Omega (and Topaz in Sonic X), the only people who truly consider her a friend.

Rouge is a shady figure, with her ties to the government, Eggman, and jewel thievery giving her a variety of mysterious connections and sources of information. Often she pillages this info for her own gain, though she usually gives it to other people to manipulate them in some way too. Usually, Rouge is met with an incredulous attitude towards her, often much to her offense. Rouge primarily works from the shadows, preferring to keep a low profile for her own agenda. Plans often change when she sees that they can be made to suit her needs. Sometimes, she does something flat out for her own profit, such as when she planned on stealing 6 Chaos Emeralds from Eggman. She's aso quite a flirt, teasing Knuckles and Shadow many times throughout the series. Rouge also has a nasty mean streak, and much of her dialogue in Sonic Chronicles towards other characters is particularly snarky or sarcastic.

Rouge's abilities include flying and gliding with her wings, secret agent martial arts kicks, and being able to dig with her pick nails. She is also usually equipped with a variety of gadgets on any given mission, such as dummy ring bombs, bat bombs, and a treasure scope for seeing invisible objects. Because of this, she is a very formidable foe in battle. Her downfall is her lightweight and floaty nature; keeping her in the air is a key to victory in Sonic Battle. Rouge also excells in teamwork to an extent, shown when she seems to be the glue of Team Dark in Sonic Heroes and how she provides the missing link in Eggman's global domination schemes in SA2.

Appearances

Sonic Adventure 2: Rouge makes her debut appearance here, as the treasure hunting character of the Dark story. Here, she plots to steal Eggman's Chaos Emeralds for herself while gathering data on Shadow for the government.
Sonic Heroes: Rouge again appears as part of a team, this time as Team Dark's flight member, as she and her team seek Eggman for his hidden treasure. When the treasure turns out to be clones of Shadow made by Eggman, Rouge consoles Shadow.
Sonic Battle: Rouge is once again seen here notably to try and make Emerl her pupil in thieving, but she gets fed up with him acting like Sonic and gives him back. She is also nursing Shadow to health for most of the story while he remains injured in her Night Club.
Shadow the Hedgehog (Game) and Sonic 06: Rouge allies with Shadow and Omega again in these two titles, where she seems more interested in helping Shadow than ever.
Sonic Chronicles: Rouge is a support type party member acquired early one, though she easily falls into a state of uselessness past the beginning part of the game. She mostly makes snarky comments to Big the Cat and doesn't contribute much to the party's morale.
Sonic RP: In these appearances, Rouge is once again serving Eggman as his henchmen, though she primarily indulges in her own antics rather than actually helping Eggman.

In most other appearances, Rouge appears as an unlockable character to use in multiplayer mode. She is usually a Fly or Technique type character in these games, with her skill trading for power and agility.

Etymology

Rouge is named after "Rouge", a type of makeup, which in turn is derived from the French word for "red". It is also similar to "Rogue". Her original name, "Nails the Bat", was probably derived from the fact that she used pick nails on her feet to dig, which contrasted with Knuckles, who used the knuckles on his fists to do the same thing.

-'''Rouge the Bat''' is an [[anthropomorphic]] bat from the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series]]. She claims to work for the [[Government]] as an undercover spy, but nowadays she works mainly for [[Dr. Eggman]] alongside [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]]. She made her first appearance in [[Sonic Adventure 2]].

-== Personality ==
+== Background information ==
-Rouge is very [[optimistic]] and [[bouncy]], bringing happiness to [[Eggman's Base]] no matter how gloomy they boys may be. She often flirts with [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] and the other male characters. Inside her happy heart, there is sadness and anger towards her [[Rouge's mom|mother]], who Rouge eventually murdered on Mother's Day. The slightest mentioning of her mother causes Rouge to go crazy, also causing a large red handprint across the face of whoever mentioned her mother. She is also very powerful.
+Rouge has worked for GUN since her very first appearance in [[Sonic Adventure 2]].

Temporarily, she was also one of Eggman's henchmen, and still finds herself attracted to the good doctor's antics despite no longer working for him. Since then, however, Rouge has made more of her spare time hanging around [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] and [[e-123 Omega]] (and [[Topaz]] in Sonic X), the only people who truly consider her a friend.
-== Role in episodes ==
+Rouge is a shady figure, with her ties to the government, Eggman, and jewel thievery giving her a variety of mysterious connections and sources of information. Often she pillages this info for her own gain, though she usually gives it to other people to manipulate them in some way too. Usually, Rouge is met with an incredulous attitude towards her, often much to her offense. Rouge primarily works from the shadows, preferring to keep a low profile for her own agenda. Plans often change when she sees that they can be made to suit her needs. Sometimes, she does something flat out for her own profit, such as when she planned on stealing 6 [[Chaos Emeralds]] from Eggman. She's aso quite a flirt, teasing [[Knuckles]] and Shadow many times throughout the series. Rouge also has a nasty mean streak, and much of her dialogue in Sonic Chronicles towards other characters is particularly snarky or sarcastic.
-=== Main role ===
-Rouge's main role in the episodes has become multiple roles throughout the years. Usually, she plays an important role in most of Eggy's evil schemes. She has also made some evil plans herself, and has become the owner of [[MeteoTech]]. She is often seen running [[Club Rouge]], her own nightclub where [[Vector the Crocodile|Vector]] currently works. She usually gets a chance to play the good guy and the bad guy due to her friendships with most of the characters. She doesn't usually like to affiliate herself with Amy or Blaze, since she views them as "potential [[bitch|bitches]] in the making." In one [[Sonic Riders]] adaption, she played a large part as a main villian and owner of [[MeteoTech]], as aforementioned.
-=== Other roles ===
+Rouge's abilities include flying and gliding with her wings, secret agent martial arts kicks, and being able to dig with her pick nails. She is also usually equipped with a variety of gadgets on any given mission, such as dummy ring bombs, bat bombs, and a treasure scope for seeing invisible objects. Because of this, she is a very formidable foe in battle. Her downfall is her lightweight and floaty nature; keeping her in the air is a key to victory in [[Sonic Battle]]. Rouge also excells in teamwork to an extent, shown when she seems to be the glue of Team Dark in [[Sonic Heroes]] and how she provides the missing link in Eggman's global domination schemes in SA2.
-Rouge is very fond of [[chao]] raising, which is something she does very often with the reluctant Eggman and the willing [[emofag]]. She has a chao named [[Diamønd]], which she is overprotective about. She usually ends up raising Eggman's chao for him, since he seldom does anything else to them besides [[abuse]] them. She also spends time kart racing. She is the guitarist for [[Dr. Eggman]]'s [[Pantera cover band]], with Eggy as the singer, Shadow the drummer, and a generic bassist the resembles the same bassist from [[Guitar Hero]].
-== Relationships with other characters ==
+== Appearances ==
-While as noted above, Rouge is generally kind to all, crating many wacky situations, there are a few relationships that go past that.

-Well, nobody knows what's going on between these two. Apparently they see each other a lot, especially when Eggman's not around.
-=== Eggman ===
+== Etymology ==

-=== Kuri-san ===
-Rouge at the moment, particularly hates the direction [[Kuri-san|Kuri]]'s personality has taken. She frequently makes rude comments towards him, although she actually doesn't intend to do any harm. Even before though, she might not have liked him that much.
