Sticks the Badger

Sticks the Badger (simply better known as just Sticks) is a main character in Sonic Boom Stop-Motion. She is an energetic anthropomorphic badger who has a habit of being erratic and having a short temper. She is the ever persistent enemy of Dr. Eggman and the best friend of Amy Rose and the self-proclaimed “best friend” of Knuckles the Echidna.

Sticks has a love for wrecking things and causing chaos and disaster, especially when Dr. Eggman gets on her nerves. She also likes making people feel low and likes to make jokes and puns when appropriate. Of all her friends, she considers herself the bravest of the bunch.

Past
Sticks was the last member of Sonic Boom who was met by Sonic and his friends. Before meeting Sonic, she lived in the wilderness with her native tribe and served as one of the official scouts. One day, her tribe mysteriously vanished from the forests just outside Station Square, and was found by Amy Rose. Together, they eventually found that Sticks' tribe didn't vanish by accident - but on purpose. The tribe abandoned Sticks because of her erratic behavior and short-temper and relocated before she could notice. Amy, however, embraced Sticks' different and wild behavior, and declared her to be Amy's best friend.

“The Perfect Actress”
Sticks portrays the character Princess Skish - a lady from a distant kingdom. During the filming process, she is held by Knuckles, who portrays Sir Jackal, who kidnaps her and escapes with her into the forest. Amy (Wrecking Woman) shows up and begins to fight Knuckles' character, but becomes embarrassed when Amy has to kiss sonic on-screen. This causes her to scream and mess up the production once more.

Sticks appears in Sonic's perfect vision of Amy becoming the perfect actress. She is seen with Amy on-stage, holding her by her side.

Later, Sonic and Knuckles convince Sticks to help them set up Amy for a false on-stage practice before filmimg to make her overcome her fear and to save her job as an actress. They call up Amy, who is surprised to hear that they all want to practice the following morning. Sticks states that they all want to see her performance and that they are all looking forward to it. Eventually, Amy is convinced through Sonic's charms and decides to join them the next day.

While preparing for the "practice," Sticks tells Knuckles that he better not mess up the plan, as she will rip his neck to pieces. She also adds that she does not want to be at the theater as much as anyone else in the room.

During the "practice," Sticks replays her role as Skish, and the false practice (which is being recorded) goes perfectly until Eggman shows up by blowing up the entrance. Sticks is the first to question the sound, and attacks Eggman by going for his throat after he purposely hurts Knuckles and Sonic. She is unsuccessful, as he picks her up and throws her as she makes her move. At Parkside, Eggman is bound after Amy knocks him out on-stage and discovers Sonic's plan. Sticks awaits for the conversation to end, and then asks if she can beat up Eggman after Knuckles oddly repeats Sonic's words once again. However, Knuckles suggests that they all celebrate after finding out Amy's career is saved and order pizza. They all rush out and Eggman calls for help. Sticks then returns and kicks Eggman over, laughs, and runs away again.

“Mistakes Happen”
Sticks and her friends made their way to Doctor Eggman, who was holding three citizens (among them being Jenny) hostage. When Sonic and his friends warn Eggman to let the citizens go, Sticks states that they're only going to warn him once. Eggman then greets the badger and recalls when she last attacked him at the theater, and Sticks attempts to hurt the doctor after he taunts her several times. Knuckles, however, catches her in time before she can do any harm, but Amy soon notices a few seconds later that Sticks is missing - and they all turn to see her beating up Eggman. When she is done, Knuckles quickly grabs her and puts her in "time-out."

Sticks later shows up during the dinner party in Uptown and makes fun of Amy for ordering holy water. She then shouts how Sonic "hit the jackpot," referring to going out to dinner with Jenny. Amy, upset, throws her donut at Sticks, which alerts Sonic and his date. When Eggman attacks the city for a brief moment, Sticks jumps in and knocks him out by going for his neck.

“Doctor Assistance”
While Sonic and Amy are trapped inside a cage in Dr. Eggman's lab, Amy tells Sonic that the situation they are in makes her wish that Sticks was there. Sonic then agrees with Amy.

“Boredom”
Sonic, Sticks, and Amy are inside Sonic’s house. Several minutes go by before Amy says that she’s bored, and the other two instantly agree. Sticks then suggest that they see what Eggman’s up to, and the others agree.

At parkside, Sonic suggests that they check his lab first, but Amy says it’s too obvious and that they need to think “inside the box.” Sonic then says it would be better if they checked there first and goes on to suggest that he is the sole hero of the group. Sonic and Amy rant before Sticks shouts and alerts that she sees Eggman. She is then knocked into the wall by a robot and Eggman comes out and orders his robots to attack Amy and Sonic.

Later, Sonic, Amy, and an angry Sticks show up in Eggman’s lab and notice he has equipment that could potentially destroy Station Square. Eggman is shocked that they were not stopped by his badnicks, and Sonic warns him to give up now or to feel the pain. Eggman then states they are too late anyway and proceeds to press the button that will destroy Station Square but is kicked to the ground by Sonic and his friends.

Back at Sonic’s house, Eggman is tied up and Sonic tells the others they did a good job and saved Station Square once again. Sticks finds herself bored again, and decides that she will beat up Eggman, which Sticks ends up doing.

“Daunting Enmity”
Sticks will have a leading role in this episode.

"Sticks' Experiment"
In Eggman’s Lab, Sticks begins her experiment by Turing on the camera and stating that if someone is seeing the video it must mean that she is dead. Orbot, curious, asks Sticks why she wold be dead, and she responds with a long pause and then a scream. The video then statics out.

In the next scene, Sticks introduces herself and demands that the experiment begins. She then introduces Orbot as her assistant, and he interrupts and corrects her by saying that he was not programmed to be of any resource to her. She then screams at him, and the video statics out.

Orbot begins running away from Sticks, screaming. She tries to catch him but the video statics out once more.

Next scene, Sticks begins by holding a canister of flammable gas and assumes its fun to play with by its pattern and technical designs. She laughs and says she’ll go get the fire, and Orbot enters and warns the potential audience not to try the expirement. Sticks shouts saying she heard it. The video statics once more.

The next scene consists of Sticks holding the can of gas while Orbot handles to fire in the back. Orbot warns Sticks to be careful as it is dangerous. Sticks assures nothing will go wrong, but quickly changes her mind about the experiment and wants to start something new. She throws the can and starts talking about how to deal with enemies. In the back, the canister lands on Orbot’s head and touches the fire and explodes shortly after Orbot’s warning to Sticks. Then the video cuts to static again.

In the last scene, the lab has been exploded, and Sticks acclaims how cool the explosion was, Orbot not liking it. Sticks is happy, but Orbot says Eggman won’t when he returns because of the destruction they’ve caused. Sticks quickly leaves before Eggman returns, and he ends up getting mad at Orbot by punching him out of the scene, an the video cuts to static for the final time.
