| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Princess Alicia Acorn (formerly referred to as Anti-Sally or Evil Sally) is Sally Acorn's counterpart from Moebius. Alicia was one of the original Anti-Freedom Fighters and of Acorn royalty, but unlike Sally, who is compassionate and selfless towards her friends and subjects, Alicia cares nothing for her comrades and only shows affection towards those she can use for power or as a shield.
For years, Alicia and her compatriots terrorized their home world while also causing trouble for their counterparts from Mobius Prime. Eventually though, she was forced into shape by Anti-Sonic, now going by the name of Scourge, who made her rebuilt her identity and become subservient to him. She would then join Scourge on an invasion of Mobius, but her distaste of Scourge led her to betray the hedgehog and help the Knothole Freedom Fighters put a stop to his rampage.
History[]
Sonic Origins[]
In the past, Anti-Sally and Anti-Sonic seized power after banishing Sally's father to the Zone of Silence. Anti-Sally and the Anti-Freedom Fighters subsequently took control of Mobotropolis, which they would effectively trash and turn into a dump. (SSS: #10)
Dr. Ivo Robotnik's Tyranny[]
By the time of Sonic Prime's arrival on Anti-Mobius, Anti-Sally and the Anti-Freedom Fighters actively opposed acts of freedom while seeking to topple Anti-Robotnik and his clinic for healing Anti-Mobians. (StH: #11)
Alicia fights Sally
The encounters between Anti Sally and her Mobius Prime counterpart began originally when Anti Sally and the other Anti Freedom Fighters journeyed to Mobius Prime in a plot to discredit their counterparts by impersonating them and making trouble in Knothole. Alicia specifically tried to frame Sally for throwing a little girl into a pond among other crimes. While the plan initially proceeded well, their counterparts (the Knothole Freedom Fighters) became wise to what was happening and decided to lay a trap. After their plan was found out, she battled Sally who switched her with Sonic who defeated her easily with one punch to the jaw. She was then restrained and sent back to her world along with the rest of the Anti Freedom Fighters (StH: #24)
Shifting Alliance[]
Anti Sally and his comrades continued to battle against the kindly Anti-Robotnik, with them constantly trying to find a way to breach Robotnik's shielded HQ. (SSS: #10)
After failing for the umpteen time to breach Anti-Robotnik's tower, Anti Sally and the others placed all the blame on Anti Sonic's poor leadership skills, and the group abandoned Anti Sonic. Also, Alicia broke up with Anti Sonic because of that, and because she was unable to tolerate his laziness. Evil St. John become their new leader of the Anti Freedom Fighters and Anti Sally's new boyfriend. Shortly thereafter, when Evil St. John's own plans failed miserably, Anti Sally decided she had finally had enough. She cast aside her relationship with him and took direct command of the Anti Freedom Fighters herself. Apart from battling Robotnik, Anti Sally was also eager to try and kill Anti Sonic, but an attempt to do so got herself thrown into toxic waters inhabited by dangerous creatures called 'Octopods', along with Anti Bunnie. (StH: #151, SSS: #10)
The Suppression Squad[]
Alicia survived, however, and remained with the group until Scourge the Hedgehog (formerly Anti Sonic) returned to Anti Mobius via Warp Ring with his new girlfriend Fiona Fox. Scourge conquered the planet on his own in a matter of days, subverting royal leadership and crowning himself King of Anti Mobius (or "Moebius" as he now called it) and Fiona his Queen. Alicia and the group were then taken over by Scourge, re-formed and re-styled into the Suppression Squad. While the others were willing to show loyalty to Scourge, Alicia, bitter at no longer being leader, held utter contempt for him and (especially) Fiona, refusing to take orders from her unless forced. Nevertheless, Alicia took part in the daring invasion of Freedom HQ, where she brought her counterpart up to speed while battling her, before the Freedom Fighters were forced to retreat leaving Alicia and the Squad (temporarily) victorious. (StH: #188, #189, #190)
Betrayal[]

Afterward, Alicia and the others followed through on Miles' plan to get rid of Scourge with the help of the Freedom Fighters. Despite this they still proved no match for Scourge's might. It was only until Sonic's arrival that their true plan was revealed: To send both Sonic and Scourge to Moebius, and to seal their escape, at least until Scourge was beaten. (StH: #193, #194, #195)
However, the Suppression Squad and the Freedom Fighters went to Moebius and found Scourge in his super form. During the battle, Scourge grabbed Alicia and told her if she wanted her throne so badly she could have it, tossing her forcefully into the throne chair. Following Super Scourge's eventual defeat by Sonic, Alicia and Miles wandered through the halls of Castle Acorn discussing their potential plans for the future. When Miles mentioned her right to be ruler, Alicia responded that while she may be the figurehead ruler, they both knew who held the real power, making Miles grin. (StH: #196)
Appearance[]
As the Moebius counterpart of Sally, Alicia shares many physical similarities with Sally. As such, she is depicted as a moebian squirrel-chipmunk hybrid with brown fur (with light brown on the face and torso) as well as auburn hair, blue eyes, and a short tail. Early on, her cheeks were smooth and rounded, though they would later be depicted as bushy.
When first described by Scourge, Alicia had pink fur and black hair. Eventually though, both would come to resemble Sally Prime's original colors.
Originally, Alicia wore a red tunic-like uniform with black boots. In her first encounter with the Knothole Freedom Fighters, she wore black sunglasses. She also retained her black boots, but adopted a black jumpsuit in place of the uniform. Alicia's later appearances featured a new uniform, a gray-blue one with white and gold trimming, though at times it appearance was completely gray. Her uniform later included white gloves. Like Sally did (for a time), she also grew her hair long, though Alicia's appeared shaggy and unkempt as opposed to Sally's. (StH: #11, #24)
Personality[]
Alicia possesses many of the same qualities as Sally Prime, but all mirrored and twisted around. Like her counterpart, Alicia possesses a talent for leadership, but unlike Sally Prime, she uses ruthlessness and other negative aspects to maintain her power as a figurehead. Alicia is likewise cold and unfeeling towards her compatriots in every way, whereas Sally is completely dedicated to her fellow Freedom Fighters. Also, while Sally is compassionate, Alicia is an especially vicious member of the Suppression Squad, though she has became much more outwardly calm and controlled during her latest invasion of Mobius, focusing her emotions into combat. (CSE)
As an evil Sally, Alicia opposes freedom and delights in breaking the law and causing trouble for the good guys. Also, most of Alicia's romantic relationships tend to involve the use and abuse of her partners, whether as an outlet for her frustrations or as a means of having the muscle to enforce her will or protect her from enemies. (StH: #11, CSE)
Abilities[]
Alicia has been shown to have hand-to-hand combat prowess similar to Sally's, though she also utilizes a whip in battle.
Romances[]
Scourge the Hedgehog[]
Alicia was the girlfriend of Scourge the Hedgehog until he lost favor in her eyes, and she abandoned him. (SSS: #10)
Jeffrey St. Croix[]
For a time, Alicia was in a relationship with Jeffrey St. Croix, until he too lost his place after repeated failures.
Patch D'Coolette[]
Alicia has flirted at times with Patch D'Coolette, who still seems to command some respect in her eyes. (SSS: #10)
Background Information[]
- Sally's previous appearance, which was shared with Alicia, was attributed to her fur temporarily being dyed by a chemical vat, but it is unknown what caused Alicia's changed look.
- Alicia's reinvented name comes from Sally Prime's middle name, which Sally herself also used as an alias in "Blast to the Past, Part 1" from the Sonic the Hedgehog television series.
