History Characters / SonicTheHedgehogSatAM

* DistressedDamsel: Played with. She is one of the most competent Freedom Fighters, but also one of Robotnik's favorite hostage choices.

* {{Expy}}: Of Rosy the Rascal (better known as Amy Rose), whose influence can still be seen when comparing hers and Sally's bangs; "Sally Acorn" was originally a DubNameChange for Rosy, which was taken and used this character instead. Later adaptations with both Amy and Sally present make this a matter of DecompositeCharacter.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: In "Blast To The Past", she's skeptical of the existance of the timestones due to time travel supposedly violating the laws of physics. This despite knowing magic exists, one of her fellow freedom fighters being a fire/ice breathing dragon and the fact that her best friend/main crush can run faster than the speed of sound!!!

* PlagiarismInFiction: Downplayed. [[spoiler: Robotnik was known to having stolen the plans for the Roboticizer, which was created by Sir Charles Hedgehog as a misguided attempt to make elderly people live longer. In spite of this, following his successful coup, Robotnik willingly gave Sir Charles full credit by admitting to all captured citizens of Mobotropolis that Sir Charles is the true creator of the Roboticizer. However, this act of giving full credit to Chuck proves to be none other rubbing salt in Chuck's wounded pride in creating such a horrifying device that would doom millions of Mobians; even Chuck himself shows complete remorse over this before being roboticized by Robotnik himself.]]

--> '''Bunnie:''' " ...my worst nightmare started comin' true before me very eyes. When I looked down and saw my bodacious bunny-bod turnin' into a ...a you know what!]] (...) Lucky I have such a perky personality, 'cause boys sure don't chase me for my hard body. Can't hardly blame 'em either."

* HeroicSacrifice: He has a chance to be rescued by Sonic from Robotnik's detention center, but he urges Sonic to save Sally and Antoine from being ambushed by Badniks. He winds up being roboticized by the time Sonic gets back.

** He sounded surprised that Antoine seemingly betrayed his friends in order to give him the Power Ring in "Hooked on Sonics". He even asks him why he betrayed them, though he might've just been suspicious and seems more confused than anything. This is ultimately subverted when Robotnik learns that it was all a trap set up by Antoine in an attempt to have them delivered to the Freedom Fighters and win Sally's heart.

* HeroesWantRedheads: He has a thing for Princess Sally.

* GutturalGrowler: In season one, his voice has a low growl to it at all times. This is downplayed in the second season, though his voice is still pretty gravelly by any standard.

* AmnesiacVillainJoinsTheHeroes: In "No Brainer", Sonic pats him back for using him as a CriminalAmnesiac by blasting him with his own Memory Scrambler and convincing him to attack Robotnik. When Snively gets his memories back, he's only barely able to talk Robotnik out of murdering him on the spot.

* ColorMotifs: He's associated very much with red; his pupils, hair, and costume are all so,e shade of red. And Robotnik is a very intense individual prone to fits of explosive and often violent rage.

* ClassicVillain: Pride and Wrath. Robotnik is very arrogant, often underestimating his opponents because he's genuinely convinced he's unstoppable. He also has a ''very'' short temper, making him prone to fits of rage usually directed at Snively and motivating him to try and draw out whatever plan he has to kill Sonic to make him suffer for all the annoyance he causes Robotnik. He also got quite a bit of {{Greed}} to him, though it's not as pronounced. Robotnik was once a celebrated and wealthy war hero who had the respect of even the King himself, but that wasn't enough for him and he took over Mobius because only total control over everything will satisfy him.

* HairTriggerTemper: Basically everything Snively does sets him off, and any inconvenience can send Robotnik into a fit of violent rage. Said inconvenience involving Sonic is liable to send him into a screaming tantrum.

* CatchPhrase: He has several: "Way past cool!", "Gotta juice", and "Let's do it to it!"

* CatchPhrase: "Oh, my gosh".

* CatchPhrase: "Oh my stars!".

* {{Catchphrase}}:

* MadnessMantra: [[spoiler:As he realizes he's going to be caught in the destruction of the Doomsday Machine, Robotnik endlessly repeats his {{Catchphrase}} "I hate that hedgehog" in a fit of pure rage as the machine starts to explode.]]

* PreMortemCatchphrase: [[spoiler:He spends his last moments before the Doomsday Machine explodes with him still inside it screaming his {{Catchphrase}}, "I hate that hedgehog!" It also doubles as a DyingDeclarationOfHate.]]

* WomenAreWiser: Thanks to the rampant {{Flanderization}} in season two, she became this to Sonic, and to an extent the rest of the Freedom Fighters.

* CartoonCreature: Antoine's species is never mentioned in the series, not even in the bible or promotional material, which simply use generic terms. Robotnik once called him a rodent, but that was [[PitifulWorms probably an insult]]. ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' later identified him as a coyote, but earlier issues identified him as a fox, indicating this was a chioce made later. The french dub of the show also labels him a fox, but we can't say if this was the original attempt.

* WeaknessTurnsHerOn: This [[ImpliedTrope seems to be the case]]: despite directly acknowledging his panicky tendencies, she has an obvious crush on Antoine. As she herself indicates in a part of the show's UniverseBible:[[note]][=SatAM's=] UniverseBible reads like an extended self-demonstrating character page.[[/note]]

A pompous and cowardly coyote who wears the outfit of a palace guard.

* DubNameChange: In France, he was known as Antoine Gontran de la Renardière. The "renard" in his name indicates that he is a fox, at least in France.

* InterspeciesRomance: His unrequited crush on Sally.

* UnexplainedAccent: He has a French name and accent despite everyone else around him having some sort of American accent. This is unexplained, except for a throw-away line that he had training in the "Delmont Province". The accent seems to be mostly there to have him fit the stereotype of a CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkey (er...coyote). [[note]]In the comic continuity it's established that Antoine comes from a foreign family that immigrated to Knothole and his way of speaking reflects that, but this explanation never comes up in the cartoon[[/note]]
* WeaksauceWeakness: In "Spyhog", Antoine is being held captive and interrogated by Snively. Antoine insists that Snively can visit whatever horrors he wants upon the beleaguered coyote -- his lips are sealed. Then Snively nearly breaks him... by [[spoiler: preparing French cuisine incorrectly (making escargot with ''margarine?!'').]]

* TheArtifact: He was originally a DitzyGenius who provided tech support, however as both Sally's intellect and Antoine's clumsiness got Flanderized in the second season, his role became more superfluous, only having odd moments of importance.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the pilot and odd early episodes, he was more clumsy and dorky, a role that was associated more with Antoine and Dulcy afterwards. The series bible also reveals him to be fond of practical jokes, particuarly involving Antoine's hair. This never got past the outline.

* DemotedToExtra: He's given far less focus in season two.

* OutOfFocus: In season two.
