Rosie the Woodchuck is a female Mobian woodchuck who served as Princess Sally's nanny before fleeing to Knothole with her after Dr. Eggman took over Mobotropolis. There she continued to serve as a caretaker for the princess and the other young refugees of Robotnik's tyranny.
History[]
Peace Disrupted[]
Rosie spent a number of years as Sally's nanny and tutor, doing her best to help prepare the young princess for her future role as queen. Some time after Dr. Ellidy departed the kingdom, Rosie came to collect her pupil for lessons only to find her using her new handheld computer NICOLE. Sally attempted to convince Rosie that NICOLE would make it so that she didn't need to take lessons anymore, but the pragmatic Rosie recognized that-at the time-NICOLE could only provide logical solutions to problems, and not any that took into account emotion. After confronting Sally with such a problem, she apologized for putting so much pressure on her, and listened with good humor as Sally noted that she did have a lot to learn, but that she hoped NICOLE could serve as her adviser.

Rosie waking Sally to escape from Eggman's takeover.
One night, Rosie woke up a young Princess Sally, and told her that they needed to hurry. The pair fled to Knothole in the Wood Zone, two of many refugees from Dr. Eggman's takeover of their home city of Mobotropolis. The pair continued to live in Knothole as Sally grew up, and Rosie continued to act as a caretaker for her and for others in the village. In particular, Rosie helped young Bunnie Rabbot learn to adjust to her new robotic limbs, after previously helping Charles Hedgehog get her to the Roboticizer that gave them to her.

Background Information[]
- Rosie is one of several characters who was introduced to the comic series from the Sonic the Hedgehog animated series, in which she had a similar role as caretaker of the young Princess Sally and other Freedom Fighters. Rosie appeared only in the two-part Blast to the Past episode, in which the present day Sonic and Sally encountered her in the past. She had apparently been Roboticized after leaving Knothole in the original timeline, but at the pleading of the Sally from the present didn't do so, and thus was a resident of the village when the pair returned to the present.
