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 Year’s 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 book’s author, confirming her name and hinting that she is a professor.
Professor Victoria’s 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 character’s inclusion in the film, though he didn’t have many details about her.
Fans have speculated that Professor Victoria could be connected to Maria Robotnik, especially considering the reveal of Maria’s 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.
