Day 4

Here's a pic I drew of Knuckles the Echidna guarding the Master Emerald. I mean… he is a tough, independent, and loyal guardian of Angel Island and the Master Emerald. He is a solitary, blunt, and headstrong character who values honesty and duty above all, often preferring action and force over strategy. Despite his antisocial nature and short temper, Knuckles is brave, kind-hearted, and selfless, willing to risk himself to protect friends and innocents. He struggles with social interactions due to his isolated upbringing, making him somewhat naive and easily tricked, but he has grown more cautious over time. While he envies Sonic’s carefree lifestyle, Knuckles remains deeply devoted to his role. Over time, he has become more self-aware and socially adept. In the IDW comics, Knuckles is portrayed similarly; he's serious, stubborn, and fiercely protective of his home… yet heroic and willing to sacrifice for the greater good.
