hereabilities: While not quite at the same level as others from her world, Amy's skills and abilities are still noteworthy. She has high physical strength, excellent running skills, impressive durability, sharp reflexes, agility and acrobatic skills, and impressive stamina. Many of these feats Amy has achieved on her own through her own personal training and hard work. She has also been shown to perform many of the same moves as Sonic and the others, such as the Spin Attack, Spin Dash, Spin Jump, and Homing Attack, as well as having some limited knowledge of hand-to-hand combat learned through self-training with kickboxing and boxercising.
Most notable is Amy's ability to wield her magical Piko Piko Hammer. With it she is able to deal destructive blows, perform enhanced leaps, and even create tornado effects, shockwaves, or domes of energy.
Amy also has some skill at cartomancy, and with her deck of tarot cards is able to predict the future to a certain degree.
personality: It’s hard to talk about Amy Rose without bringing up her feelings for Sonic the Hedgehog. Her crush on the blue blur is infamous, and is usually the first thing people associate with her name – often to the point of either ridicule or making it the butt of a joke. Even among her friends or people in her world, Amy’s relentlessness to chase Sonic in hopes of getting him to return her feelings is often met with eyerolls or dismissal. And indeed, Amy has demonstrated a steadfast determination in trying to win Sonic’s heart, often to the point of focusing on it almost exclusively. She had even stated once that if she had to choose between Sonic and the entire world, then she would choose Sonic.
But the truth is, Amy’s crush on Sonic is just one part of the whole picture, and those strong feelings are indicative of her broader personality. Because Amy is simply someone who feels all of her emotions so intensely, and she often just can’t help presenting them outwardly. Along with her love for Sonic, Amy is also known for having a temper; she can be quite aggressive when she’s angry, and has lashed out with her hammer often enough that friends and foe alike are afraid to get on her bad side. When she’s happy, she speaks in a bubbly manner and smiles brightly, and she isn’t afraid to shed any tears when she’s sad.
More than anything, though, is the immense compassion that she feels for the people around her. Much of the trouble that Amy had fallen into during her earlier days of adventuring came from her desire to help others, despite perhaps not being entirely ready for the danger that came of those situations. But never the type to sit idly by, Amy still sought to help those that she came across that might need some assistance; whether it was protection, a gentle word, a nudge in the right direction, or a cheerful smile. No matter the circumstance, Amy would not leave anyone without help - if it’s something she can do, then she will, even if it puts her in physical danger, or even at the risk of burning herself out from overworking.
Because Amy is the type of person who takes matters into her own hands. She is someone who, after meeting a hero that had saved her life, did not wish to just sit around and wait for him to return, but followed after him instead. She is someone who - despite not having natural gifts of being super fast, or super strong, or super smart like her friends have, nor did she have any official training like others - was still eventually was able to become fast enough, and strong enough, and smart enough to be able to fight alongside them, to aid them in saving the world. After being kidnapped too many times, she grew better so she would no longer be a liability, so that she could protect those people that she cares about and help those weaker than herself. Her concern for others and unwavering determination are what make her a hero in her own right, and everything else simply followed suit.
