Personality & backstory
Sonic is fearless, cocky, and famously impatient. He runs at the speed of sound, lives for freedom, and never says no to a chili dog.
Born on South Island, Sonic the Hedgehog races across continents to stop Dr. Eggman and protect the Chaos Emeralds. He's the heart of the Sonic coloring pages cast — a hero made for big, bold colors.
