Rosie Woodchuck


 * This article is on Rosie the nanny. For the article on the Anti Mobius version of Amy Rose, see: Rosy the Rascal.

Rosie is a female Mobian woodchuck, the cousin of the late Julayla, and the nanny of the Knothole Freedom Fighters, particularly Sally Acorn, when they were younger. She continues in this role for younger Mobians, living as a civilian in first Knothole and then New Mobotropolis.

Helping to Raise the Knothole Freedom Fighters
Rosie was one of the many who aided in getting refugees out of Mobotropolis and safely to Knothole during Dr. Ivo Robotnik's military coup. Since the demise of Robotnik, Rosie has acted as a nanny and baby sitter for younger Mobians and offered advice to Sonic the Hedgehog and others when they have needed it. (StH: #43, #54)

Nanny of Orphans
Rosie also aided in helping refugees escape from Robo Robotnik's hordes of Shadowbots when he retook the city of Mobotropolis. Upon arriving in Knothole, Rosie convinced Mina Mongoose to tell a group of young orphaned children she had taken in a story to calm them down. (StH: #75, #76, #78)



She also took the three children-Snaggle, Rory, and Sasha-to a play put on by several of the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix. She also told the three a bedtime story featuring Pirate Sally helping the Elfin Fox against the evil Kintobor after he stole one of his tails. She and Sally assisted Bunnie Rabbot in preparing for her wedding to Antoine D'Coolette, joining Bunnie in teasing Sally about her own relationship with Sonic. Like the rest of Knothole's inhabitants, she was then captured by the Egg Fleet and sent to the Egg Grape Chamber in New Megaopolis, but was then freed and transported to New Mobotropolis.

Iron Dominion
During the Iron Dominion, Rosie was one of the many citizins captured and placed inside Egg Pods, waiting to be legionized. (StH: -)

Personality
Rosie is a caring individual who cares deeply for all younger Mobians, particularly those whom she has served as a nanny for over the years. Thus, she has a feisty and fun-loving personality.

Background Information

 * According to penciller Jon Gray's website page on StH #144, the final letter readable from the Dear Aly newspaper section Sally maintained was from Rosie and concerned her and Uncle Chuck. (1) It is unknown, however, if this is considered canon by the comic's writers. However, former writer Ken Penders' post-#159 plans would have had Uncle Chuck and Rosie going on a date in Knothole, with Sonic acting as a guardian angel to protect them from Robotnik's stealth-bots.
 * Rosie's capture during the Iron Dominion arc wasn't mentioned in the comic itself, but on the Sonic the Hedgehog Blog. | 2
