I'm not even gonna get into the logistics of having hair like that, since it's a Sonic character and clearly abides by the physical laws of anime. But I do have to point out that her arm appears to connect directly to the side of her neck. I guess the artist was too busy scribbling metal studs and skulls all over to notice. Wait...Jesus Christ, how would eyelashes that huge even work? Punching "huge eyelashes" into Google gives us pictures from commercials, which are tiny compared to the monolithic doom-spires she has projecting from her eyelids.
Alrighty, it's Bio Time!

She's Voodoo T. Hedgehog the hedgehog. Nope, I'm not going to stop making jokes about the species/name thing until people stop fucking doing it.

So, she's a fat, short, sixty-something furry? Is this bio about the character or the creator? ZING!

I don't know whether to complain about how obvious it is that she's evil, or praise her for not being an obnoxious "edgy" anti-hero character.

Likes: Fighting, Space. Strength, Stars, Skulls/Bones,
Dislikes: People: Losing, Weakness, Anything cold, Labratorys, Medical Equipment
We get it, she's evil. I see a lame experiment-gone-wrong story coming up soon...
As a baby, Voodoo was unwanted by her parents and given to Kimberly Graves (A human scientist) who 'graced' the young hedgehog with the name Voodoo.
At least there's a bit of in-story recognition of how ridiculous "Voodoo" is as a name. So there's that...
Kimberly had absolutely no intentions of raising the infant as her own, but instead decided to take her in because she might be of some use down the road.
Nice lady, that.
Voodoo grew up living in a small grey room in the Laboratory Kimberly worked at. She was always alone and had no interaction with her 'mother' or any of the other scientists except when food was delievered to her room. She was ok with this; often busying herself with her coloring books or the few toys she had.
That's just called "prison." I get the whole scientists-are-cold-and-evil thing that's so prevalent in fiction, but I'm more willing to believe they're leaving her locked up in there because she's an abomination against hedgehogkind.
However on the night of her 13th birthday, her life took a turn for the worse. Voodoo was strapped down to a table and moved to a new larger room with alot of machinary where horrible experiments were performed on her.
"Horrible experiments" is to fancharacter backstories what "reverse the polarity" is to sci-fi problem solving.
She became known as Project Voodoo.
Yep, just slap a "project" in front of her name.
Hired by Prof. Gerald Robotnik, it was the scientists' job to make Project Voodoo unaging and invincible; as he had told them- the ultimate lifeform.
I dunno, Robotnik is a bit more of a hands-on kind of guy. He created Biolizard and Shadow on his own (well, okay, with Black Doom and a team of scientists as well), so why would he push off all this evil science on an outside team?
Kimberly had succeeded in making Voodoo unable to age, but she and her colleagues would never find out.
Wait, if she didn't age any more, that means she was that, uh...well-endowed at age thirteen? Or did she just get little hedgehog implants? Oh God, this train of thought is terrible.
After seven years of torture without the results the scientists were looking for (Minor results of testing were: Eye color changed from dark blue to light blue, fur grew darker and formed dark red in some places, and increase of strength) she was transfered to the Space Colony Ark.
I would think seven years would be enough time for them to figure out she wasn't aging. I also love how all these "horrible experiments" only turn out with positive cosmetic effects. No horrible scarring or, like, cancer or something.
Terrified that there would be more intense experiments, she struggled in her restraints the whole shuttle ride, causing wounds on her wrists, neck and ankles that would later cause scars. And she fainted from blood-loss.
What kind of ass-backwards scientists are these, that they have to use restraints that would injure her?
When she woke up she was greeted by Prof. Gerald Robotnik who informed her that there would be no more experiments, however she would be in charge of keeping his ill granddaughter Maria company.
"I just had you incarcerated and tortured for the first twenty years of your life, granting you super-strength in the process. Here, play with my sickly grand-kid."
Voodoo accepted this job. In fact, she soon enjoyed spending time with Maria. She kept the blonde child company for four months up until the Prof. created a being by the name of Shadow. The three got along together rather well, but it was obvious that Maria showed favoritism towards the black hedgehog.
Oh man, I love canon-breaking relationships!
Not long after this, G.U.N invaded the Space Colony. Prof. Robotnik gave Voodoo his private diary telling her to locate his grandson and give it to him. Voodoo quickly fled the Ark in an escape pod and landed on Earth.
Now she's completely free of the guy who ordered her years of torture, and she's still going to do this job for him? Stockholm syndrome.
However, not knowing where to begin looking for the Prof.'s grandson, Voodoo hid the diary away and decided to become even stronger in order to make everyone who had wronged her, suffer.
But you just left the guy responsible for making you suffer aboard the Ark! You could've stabbed the fucker right then and there! Goddammit.
She took her revenge upon Prof. Kimberly Graves, destroyed the damned laboratory she was forced to live at for the past twenty years and killed everyone in it.
Very original story. Five stars. Two thumbs up.
Once satisfied, she wandered the earth not knowing what to do with herself. As the years dragged on, and on, Voodoo realized that she had not aged one bit and that she still had the appearance of a twenty year old.
"Even though she stopped aging at 13, because this story isn't even following its own canon."
One day she saw on the television, news of Doctor Ivo Robotnik. The named clicked in her head and she remembered what Gerald Robotnik had told her that fateful day on the Space Colony Ark. Quickly locating Dr. Eggman, she gave him his grandfather's journal and offered to assist him in taking over the world and thus started the events of Sonic Adventure 2.
This is possibly the only thing worse than having a non-canon character save the world from a canon villain. Having them actually initiate the entire plotline of a game/series despite not appearing or even being referenced in any official material.
