Knuckles the Echidna

Knuckles the Echidna is a crimson-furred guardian of the Master Emerald, a powerful gem with the ability to control water. He is stoic, honorable, and deeply loyal to his friends and his duty. Knuckles is known for his formidable combat skills and physical prowess, often coming across as a solitary and disciplined fighter. He has a strong dislike for Sonic the Hedgehog, whom he mistakenly views as a rival for the emerald, leading to frequent conflicts. Despite his tough exterior, he has a soft spot for those in need and is capable of great acts of self-sacrifice. Knuckles values his heritage and traditions, but also struggles to find his place in the modern world. His relationships are complex, ranging from intense rivalries to deep friendships, especially with Tails and Amy Rose. Knuckles is also susceptible to manipulation by his arch-enemy Dr. Eggman, who often exploits his straightforward nature.
