While he can leave them hanging or even endanger them due to his fast-paced nature, and at times acts rude, Sonic never has any intention of making his friends unhappy and values them above all else. Sonic is extremely loyal to his friends and will risk his life for them without any due consideration. It is only in the moments of greatest loss that his macho and carefree appearance falls away. Also, Sonic is incredibly strong of character and will: no matter the situation, he never doubts himself and will never give up no matter what. No matter the threat or how dangerous, Sonic always remains cool under pressure. Eggman this ego is not to be confused with pride, as Sonic does not see himself as more important than others. Sonic’s signature positive attitude is where his giant internal ego comes from he thinks he and his friends will always find a way out of any situation, but that attitude sometimes leads him to underestimating his enemies and the task at hand. Sonic has a lot of self-confidence making him sassy, quick-witted, cocky, and at times overconfident. At the same time, Sonic has a big and gentle heart and is fully committed to help out and protect those in all kinds of trouble at any time, even if his actions will have ill consequences. In times of crisis though, he is aggressive and focuses intensely on the task at hand as if his personality has undergone an astonishing change.
