Rosy the Rascal


 * Rosy the Rascal redirects here. For the article on Rosie the nanny, see Rosie.

Rosy the Rascal (also known as Anti Amy Rose) is the Anti Mobius counterpart to Amy Rose. Rosy wears the same outfit Amy wore when she was younger and carries a hammer similar to Amy's, only green and spiked. Mentally unstable, Anti Amy seeks to attack just about anyone who gets close to her, and constantly haunts Scourge the Hedgehog for ignoring her.

Increase in Age
Rosy and Amy both share similar historical scenarios. Like Amy, Anti Amy used a special ring (it is unknown if it was the Anti-Mobius version of the Ring of Acorns or not) to make herself older so that Scourge would take notice of her. However, the jolt of energy from the magic ring made Rosy insane. (StH: #79, #193)

Sought out by Sonic and Amy
Rosy lurked around in Moebius' Castle Acorn, waiting for Scourge to come back to her. Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy, with the help of Buns Rabbot, attempted to recruit her to help defeat Scourge and his Suppression Squad, who had recently invaded Freedom HQ in Mobius Prime. When asked for her help, Anti Amy explains that Scourge would often ignore her attacks, thus the reason she used the "special ring" to make herself older. However it was noted by Sonic that there were side effects to this, as Rosy doesn't look or act older. She revealed nonchalantly that the transformation went wrong, causing her mind to "shatter" and thus leaving her eager to break everything else. With vicious glee, she attacked the trio. (StH: #193)

During the battle, after Sonic tried to reason with her that, unlike Scourge, he was "good," Rosy mere reasoned "You're a Sonic! My Scourgey is a Sonic! I want to smash Sonics!" Amy tried to intervene, saying that as counterparts they were almost like sisters, but Rosy wanted to fight her nonetheless. As the four engaged in battle, Buns used her riot foam in an attempt to prevent her from moving, though Rosy simply destroyed the hardened foam with her hammer. After this, Amy attempted to keep Rosy distracted so that Buns and Sonic could locate the Globe Posts that had been stolen from Anti Robotnik. Buns was concerned about leaving Amy to fight for herself, though Sonic was confident she could take care of herself. Buns then protected Sonic while he went through the Globe Posts to see what was going on in Mobius. (StH: #194)



The battle was soon lost however, as Rosy broke Amy's hammer. Just as Rosy noticed the Globe Posts and was about to smash them, Buns got in the way to give Amy time to get Sonic back. However, due to the betrayal of the Suppression Squad, Scourge was sent back to his world along with Sonic before the Globe and Star Posts were shut down from the other side, trapping them on Moebius. While Scourge was enraged by his team's betrayal, the group realized Rosy had defeated Buns, having severely damaged the Omega Care Unit and leaving her helpless. (StH: #194)

Now that Scourge was present, Rosy focused her violent attention on him, but he managed to fend her off and focus a battle with Sonic leaving Amy to fend off Rosy. Shadow the Hedgehog, Metal Sonic, Rob O' the Hedge, and Silver the Hedgehog, interupted Sonic and Scrouge's fight and Rosy was chasing Amy who was begging for Sonic to trade opponets when they ran into the group. Rosy was initially pleased with the number of potential victims present, though Sonic quickly convinced everyone present to focus their efforts on defeating Scourge, telling Rosy she'd get dibs on smashing the Scourge to which she squealed "You're the bestest!" Scourge, refusing to give up, used the Anarchy Beryl in his throne to transform into Super Scourge. (StH: #194, #195)

Rosy was temporarily defeated by Super Scourge but recovered quickly and tried to "squish" him, but Scourge's invulnerability prevented this and he threw her into a wall where she fell into unconsciousness. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she was tied up by Rob O' the Hedge, who felt some pity for her. What became of Rosy after Super Scourge was defeated is currently unknown. (StH: #196)

Personality
Compared to Amy's crush on Sonic, Rosy is obsessed with Scourge. However, this obsession is decidedly twisted as she'd love nothing more than to smash him with her hammer, resenting him for ignoring her attacks in the past - somewhat like Amy, she hopes that her "Sonic" will take notice of her. She continues to refer to him by the pet name "Scourgey" and makes kissy-faces while taking great delight at the prospect of hurting him. She is extremely violent, eccentric and single-minded, eager to stalk and cause pain while retaining distorted signs of a cutesy, childish demeanor. This is reflected in her speech, in which she often uses nicknames and simplified terms in a sing-song tone. She herself seems aware that the magic ring she used on herself "broke" her mind, but appears unconcerned with this fact, as her only focus now is Scourge. And unlike her Prime counterpart, she will not hold back when attacking and will hit her oppenent with full force which is possible enough to leave a huge dent in even a twenty story building or even kill someone and her hammer can even break Amy's Piko Piko Hammer, even though the two hammers are the same in strength and durability.

Background information
Rosy's name is derived from Amy's game counterpart's nick-name from the arcade game Sonic the Fighters, which is coincidentally the game Bark the Polar Bear and Bean the Dynamite debuted in. Rosy's overall appearance is based on the original appearance of Amy from Sonic CD until her redesign in Sonic Adventure.
