Sonic and Donna is a Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic by Donna Fairview. It's a loose adaptation of the original game's plot with an added character: Donna.
The story reinterprets the cut character Madonna. Madonna was a character that existed early in Sonic the Hedgehog's development. She was Sonic's human girlfriend and is assumed to be a Damsel in Distress. She was removed when Sega of America asked Sonic to be "cleaned up" for American audiences.
Donna Fairview is a human teenager who lives on South Island with her parents. Her best friend is an eleven-year old hedgehog named Sonic. Together the two go on adventures together. This all changes when a Dr. Ivo Robotnik takes heir town with robots. It's up to Sonic and Donna to stop him.
This fanfic provides examples of:
- Adaptation Name Change: Madonna's name is changed to "Donna Fairview".
- Adaptation Personality Change: Instead of being a ditzy Dumb Blonde, Madonna is a more proactive tomboy.
- Age Lift:
- Madonna is thirteen instead of an adult.
- Sonic is eleven instead of a teenager between sixteen and eighteen (depending on the Classic-era source).
- Interspecies Friendship: Donna is a human teenager and Sonic is an eleven-year old Funny Animal hedgehog, yet they're best friends nevertheless.
- Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: Funny Animals and humans co-exist without issue.
- Patchwork Fic: The story takes some elements from Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), such as the names of Sonic's parents.
- Related Differently in the Adaptation: Sonic has a cousin named Sonia. Sonia's mother is named Aleena. This refers to his sister and mother from Sonic Underground.
