After nearly three years of speculation, the mysterious pink-haired woman from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 now has a name.
The character, who first appeared in a 2022 episode of the TailsTube video series, has been officially named Professor Victoria.
Her identity was revealed in a quiet moment during a New Yearโs Eve episode of TailsTube. In the episode, Tails is seen with a book titled The Mystery of History, which features Professor Victoria on the cover.
Zooming in on the cover, viewers can spot her name listed as the bookโs author, confirming her name and hinting that she is a professor.
Professor Victoriaโs first appearance in TailsTube showed her among other humans, with her distinctive design and outfit standing out.
Fans were left wondering if Sega had bigger plans for the character, and the mystery deepened when she made a cameo in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
Director Jeff Fowler mentioned in an interview that Sega likely requested the characterโs inclusion in the film, though he didnโt have many details about her.
Fans have speculated that Professor Victoria could be connected to Maria Robotnik, especially considering the reveal of Mariaโs previously unknown sister in Sonic X.
With the mystery solved, fans are excited to see if Professor Victoria will play a larger role in future Sonic games or movies.
