After contemplating and theorizing time and time again, the character’s identity has finally been publicized, casting somewhat of a bright light on a mystery that the fans have been trying to unlock for at least a few years now.

The character, now acknowledged officially as one named Professor Victoria, has been at last name-dropped during an episode of the Sonic the Hedgehog official YouTube series titled Tails Tube, released as a countdown on December 31, 2024, to welcome the new year of 2025. This disclosure is made known after the character's short cameo in the last movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Who is Professor Victoria?

The query of who the pink-haired lady precisely came up first in the year 2022 when Victoria made her appearance in the very first episode of the Sonic the Hedgehog official YouTube series titled Tails Tube.

First seen fleetingly for a moment on the episode, together with a few others, her noticeable and eye-catching pink-colored hair acquired a sight in the eyes of the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom. Nevertheless, her character was left unexplored, allowing the Sonic fandom to speculate who she could be and her future in the Sonic franchise.

This took a complete 180 when the most recent Tails Tube YouTube video dropped on December 31, celebrating and anticipating the upcoming year. During the episode, for those who look closely, the character’s name was officially disclosed to the Sonic fandom.

A book titled The Mystery of History can be seen on screen, and upon closer and further scrutiny, the author who penned the book is revealed to be none other than Professor Victoria. This makes it the chief approval of the character’s identity that could pave the way for Professor Victoria to appear again in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe with other potential storylines.

The budding mystery and what could possibly be next for Professor Victoria:

Professor Victoria’s induction has been spanned over nearly two years, starting with her short arrival in the very first Tails Tube video in 2020 to then a cameo in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to finally revealing her name in the last Tails Tube video on the last day of the year 2024.

With the revelation that she has a background in academia, it could be possible that the character could go on to play more significant roles in the Sonic universe. It seems her story and character are getting slowly revealed, which is just the start. Fans look forward to opening and gaining more lore about Professor Victoria’s character within further installments of Sonic the Hedgehog.
