* {{Expy}}: For the [[RobinHood Sheriff of Nottingham]] when he was roboticized and known as the "High Sheriff."

* HappilyMarried: To ''Tails'', [[CrackPairing of all people]], in the "X Years Later" comics. It's actually pretty cute, even if we never get an explanation as to how they got together or what happened to Ash.

* SuperSpeed: She's almost as fast as Sonic! According to WordOfGod, this was to give her something in common with him that Princess Sally didn't have.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the "X Years Later" arcs, Mina has inexplicably married [[CrackPairing Tails]]. We never find out what happened to Ash after this.

%%zce* SuperSpeed

* PutOnABus: Gone after the Penders lawsuit; actually a Karl Bollers creation.

* ProperlyParanoid: Charles and Jules rescued a younger Robotnik and brought him to the kingdom thinking he'd need help while King Acorn agreed to it out of guilt for turning Nate away. Of them it was Armand who was wholly opposed to the idea submitting only becuase the king ordered it.

* TheWoobie: Mina has a (not totally undeserved) reputation among longtime readers as a warning sign that the comic is about to enter some form of drama. Wether it's being turned into someone else's pawn, setting up some relationship drama or simply wanting to shift the story's tone, trouble ''will'' follow whenever she shows up in any capacity beyond a cameo.

Characters of the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series that are citizens of Mobotropolis.

Characters from the original universe before issue #252. These characters most likely are permanently erased from the new timeline thanks to the Super Genesis Wave.

[[folder: Elias Acorn]]
Sally's brother, who was lost during the Great War and raised on Angel Island. After being reunited with his family, he struggled under the weight of his responsibilities and eventually ran away from home. Nevertheless, after marrying his wife Megan, he returned to accept the crown. However, he soon found himself with new struggles, and was deposed as King by [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Ixis Naugus]].
* AbdicateTheThrone: He left the throne follow an attempted assasination attack on his family by Eggman. Even before that, he knew that his sister Sally is the more worthy Acorn, but was obligated to stand in and fulfill his father's duties, especially when Max was disabled. After hearing about another risk on his family's lives, he returns to be the official king.
* BadassBoast: "I'm your King. Naugus is just keeping my crown warm."
* CharacterDevelopment: Under Ian's pen, his reign started out a bit rough and he nearly had a HeroicBSOD after they buried Sir Connery. After a brief WhatTheHellHero from Sonic, he makes a RousingSpeech that they will perserve and live up to Sir Connery's example. While he has a moment of hesitation during the Prower family's protests and attempt to dethrone him, he stands his ground against Amaedus when he arrives in Castle Acorn. Later on when Naugus tried to claim his throne, he stands his ground until he's forced to step down per the people's demands but instead of fleeing to let someone else deal with New Mobotropolis and Naugus like he would have before, he seeks out Harvey Who to fight back from the shadows.
* CoolSword: The Sword of Light that he inherited from Sir Connery after his passing to replace the Sword of Acorns as the Acorn family sword. Sonic even borrows it to fight Naugus before the Death Egg descends upon New Mobotropolis.
* DualWielding: Wields a pair of exotic-looking... daggers?
* HappilyMarried: With Megan, who he met in Feral Forest after running away from home. He adopted her daughter as his own.
* HeirClubForMen: He and Sally have been drawn into this by their father on several occasions, and his step-daughter Alexis is ineligible to succeed him.
** SuccessionCrisis
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He originally just wanted a life of adventure, and then to live quietly with his new family. Elias constantly doubts his ability to rule, and Ixis Naugus wastes no time attempting to appeal to Elias's desire to "return to the simple life" when making his bid for the throne.
* KingIncognito: During his brief time as a runaway before returning to claim the throne to stop Patch from assuming the throne, then again after Naugus deposed him and while he was part of the Secret Freedom Fighters.
* LongLostRelative: Sally somehow never knew he existed and he grew up on Angel Island during the Great War and Robotnik Prime's reign.
* ModestRoyalty: He dresses rather simply and prefers functional attire regardless of if he's King or not.
* [[KnightInShiningArmour Prince On a White Pasha.]]
* PuppetKing: When he took over Knothole while Max was out of commission, Elias, inexperienced and desperate for help, agreed to be this to Geoffrey St. John, who manipulated him into doing such things as stripping Sonic of his knighthood and placing him under house arrest in Knothole Village. St. John's half-assed advice eventually leads to Elias cracking and abandoning the throne for over a year.
* PutOnABus: He ran away from his responsibilities (and the book) for several issues. He was later phased out of the book entirely due to legal matters.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He tries to be this when he's looking after Knothole while Max is out of commission, but Geoffery St. John manipulates him to the point that Elias abandoned Knothole. When he returns to assume the throne, he has Sally's marriage to Patch annulled and is happy to heed the advice of the Freedom Fighters.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Under Ian's pen, he joins the fight against Mammoth Mogul during the Darkest Storm arc and defends himself against Amaedus Prower during the House of Cards two parter. Once he's ousted from the throne by Naugus' manipulations, he joins the Secret Freedom Fighters to take it back.
* SpannerInTheWorks: In issue 156. Anti-Antoine/Patch's plan to kill King Max and take over the Kingdom of Acorn would have gone off without a hitch... had Elias not decided to help Sonic out by reclaiming his birthright.
* SuperiorSuccessor: To King Max. While Max meant well, he was still a slave to tradition and HorribleJudgeOfCharacter who's [[HeadInTheSandManagement decisions]] and refusal to heed the warnings of others led to the Great War, the destruction of Old Mobotropolis and Knothole Village, and subjected all of Mobius to Robotnik's tyranny for over a decade. Elias, by contrast, is a WisePrince and ReasonableAuthorityFigure who heeds the advice of others and reforms the kingdom into a Republic for the sake of the people. Harvey Who even agrees to help him reclaim the throne from Naugus for this very reason, remarking that Elias is far more worthy to be king than Max ever was.
* WarriorPrince
* WellDoneSonGuy: Like Sally, he struggled to earn his father's approval. This clashes with his duty as King, and deciding to reform the kingdom into a Republic only made their relationship more difficult.
* TheWisePrince: Something Harvey Who notices. When Elias approaches him for help in reclaiming his throne from Ixis Naugus, Harvey, based on his past experiences with King Max repeatedly ignoring his advice and council, initially refused to help him. Eventually, however, Harvey is persuaded to help, acknowledging Elias to be a far better, wiser, and more worthy king than his father ever was.

[[folder: Hamlin Pig]]
A pig who trained under Sally and would later go on to be one of the more important of the Substitute Freedom Fighters. Of all of them, Hamlin was slow to trust and quick to anger and that anger gradually grew as the Substitute Freedom Fighters were continually pulled from action. With the formation of the Council of Acorn, Hamlin joined in part because of his frustration with Sally's leadership.
* BeTheBall: When Larry Lynx organizes them in a counter-attack against Robotnik's forces, this was one of the team's maneuvers. Hamlin would curl into a ball and his teammates would launch him like a projectile into their enemies, his girth taking them down with ease.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He constantly gets on Sonic and the Freedom Fighters for violating protocol and disrespecting the Council's authority, but when Naugus is late to a meeting[[note]]Due to being in the middle of a spell to brainwash the council/fighting the Secret Freedom Fighters[[/note]], Hamlin gets impatient and suggests they just get on with ratifying the new constitution without him, itself a violation of protocol because policy required a majority of the council ''and'' the king. Dylan even calls him out on it, remarking that Hamlin always complains whenever Sonic or anyone else does so and he should practice what he preaches.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** PlayedWith. On the one hand, pettiness aside, Hamlin makes a number of good points about how subverting the rulings of the council shows Sally and the others to be above the law and hurts the democracy of the country. On the other hand, Hamlin's alternatives are often short-sighted and detrimental.
** Played straight when the Council is barred from getting into the meeting room due to a broken lock. When Uncle Chuck bitterly remarks that Nicole could have easily fixed it for them, Hamlin is quick to retort that Chuck voted to exile Nicole from New Mobotropolis just like the rest of the council.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: During his tenure on the Council, this was Hamlin's main characterization, utterly focused on motions, committees, subcommittees, and any other bureaucratic obstacle that could possibly hinder the Freedom Fighters or ensure they were protecting the kingdom "properly." During the Bold New Moebius arc, when Sally made the decision to counter-invade Moebius after the Council refused to let them chase Scourge out of Freedom HQ, Hamlin wasted no time charging her with treason and did everything in his power to ensure her conviction, being the only councilor not to ultimately vote to clear her of charges, and later, when Naugus makes claim to the throne, he outright ''explodes'' on Sonic for insisting on just beating up the wizard rather than letting the government handle it, sick of him disrespecting their authority. The one time he ''didn't'' butt heads with Sonic and co. is when they requested permission to start Team Freedom and Team Fighters, and that was because for once they were actually cooperating with the council and going through the "proper channels".
* PigMan: An anthropomorphized pig, but he fits the trope well enough.
* TheResenter: A key point of his character.
** Even before joining the Council of Acorn Hamlin always had a resentful streak. When he debuted with Geoffrey St. John, Hamlin was incredibly suspicious of him, even when St. John saved his life. Though St. John was being shifty, the anger was in part because of how much better Geoffrey outperformed him and the other cadets.
** This attitude drives him when he joins the Council of Acorn, where Hamlin becomes an ObstructiveBureaucrat who actively uses his position to make it hard for the Freedom Fighters to act. When Sally calls him out on this, Hamlin retorts that since he was only ever used as part of the backup unit and never got to fight for his people, then he's going to ensure the Freedom Fighters fight for them ''properly''.
* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: Placed among numerous attempts by Flynn to rectify Sally's character, Hamlin's newfound resentment was likely an attempt at this trope. Though it doesn't go that far story-wise, Sally is visibly very upset by this revelation and the measures Hamlin took to spite her.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Dylan Porcupine]]
A porcupine who trained under Sally as part of the Substitute Freedom Fighters. Dylan would often see combat in the events that the major Freedom Fighters were taken out of commission. When the council reformed he took a seat on it dissatisfied with the meager role he had in his previous position.

* ArtEvolution: Like many of the minor characters his design was tweaked over the years. He was given a more anthropomorphized look to put him in line with the typical Sonic character aesthetic; he even received a more defined head and neck.
* BigDamnHeroes: One of his most notable actions in the comic came when an amnesiac Sonic was tricked into attacking the other Freedom Fighters. When he beats his way through the major members, Antoine organizes a counter-attack with the Substitute Freedom Fighters (before they were known as such). Sonic get's through them easily, but it was then that Dylan knocked him out with a cheap shot, saving the day.
* ImprovisedLockpick: He can use his quills for this function.
* TheSmartGuy: When was a Freedom Fighter, he'd often play this to the team being the calmer head and rational thinker. Even on the Council, he's one of the least likely to act on petty grudges, even though the Comic encyclopedia described him having a faltering resolve, which ties with his “Aye?” over the Suppression Squad’s takeover of Freedom HQ.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Penelope Platypus]]
One of the Substitute Freedom Fighters, and later a member of the council.
* AllThereInTheManual: The Comic Encyclopedia describes a rumored romantic relationship between Penelope and Arlo Armadillo.
* TheGhost: Is said to have a Moebian counterpart that was dated by Scourge, but the Anti-Penelope never made an appearance.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: When Naugus attacks, Rotor is quick to demand the nanite suit and tries to rally Hamlin and Dylan to help Sonic fight, but Penelope immediately shuts that down under threats of being charged with dereliction of duty, stating they weren't Freedom Fighters anymore and would deal with this matter politically.
* TheQuietOne: Is described in the Comic encyclopedia to be very reserved and often entering into a debate with a surprise vote.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Arlo Armadillo]]
Another of the cadets and later Substitute Freedom Fighters. Arlo is an Armadillo and an overall easygoing member of the reserve team. Unlike the others, Arlo ultimately did not go onto the Council of Acorn, retiring as a Freedom Fighter.
* AllThereInTheManual: The Comic Encyclopedia explained that Arlo looked different from his fellow armadillo, Mighty, due to being from the “western region” and also offered a rumor of Arlo and Penelope Platypus being romantically connected.
* TheChewToy: Arlo is injury prone. His first outing with the cadets even leaving him out of action with a wound he sustains from a turret, then an amnesiac Sonic beats him up, then he's injured by collapsing debris. Unlike say, Snively, Arlo's injuries aren't played for a joke and the final one forced him to retire.
* DemotedToExtra: All of the Substitute Freedom Fighters grappled with this trope, but Arlo and Cyril Eagle had it the worst. The other members went on to other roles after the Substitute Freedom Fighters disbanded, yet both of the two former simply went into retirement due to either injury or old age.
* GamebreakingInjury: During their attempt to retake Robotropolis after Robotnik's death, a ceiling falls on Arlo. His injuries were severe enough for him to leave active duty.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Substitute Freedom Fighters]]

A group of heroic trainee animals chosen by Sally to help her when the original Freedom Fighters were capacitated. Although well-trained, they ended up mostly as the Freedom Fighter's support network during their early days, and eventually disbanded when they either retired or joined different groups.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Isabella Mongoose]]
Mina's mother, roboticized by Dr. Eggman and later de-roboticized by the Bem. She later joined the Council of Acorn after Rotor's resignation.
* AscendedExtra: During her roboticized state, she was at worst a background character who rarely interacts with anyone save for her daughter and Ash Mongoose. When she became part of the Council, she helps bring Nicole back.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Naugus objects to her motion to overturn Nicole's exile, insisting that he protects the city, Isabella shoots that down, pointing out that the latest attack by the Death Egg proved he was incapable of doing so and Rotor's Team Freedom have done more to protect New Mobotropolis than he ''ever'' did.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: In contrast to her ObstructiveBureaucrat colleagues. Her first motion is to vote to overturn Nicole's exile, pointing out that doing so has done nothing but left them more vulnerable to outside attack and Nicole could give them advanced warning should Eggman attack again.
