- "Donut Lord lives with Pretzel Lady. She is super nice to animals and strangely was born without bones."
- ―Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
Doctor Maddie Wachowski is a veterinarian in Green Hills, Montana and the wife of Tom Wachowski. She helped Sonic on his venture to retrieve his lost rings in San Francisco, also witnessing him fight Dr. Ivo Robotnik, and later accepted Sonic into her family.
At that time, Maddie and Tom became parental figures to Sonic. After leaving for Hawaii to attend her sister Rachel's wedding, Maddie learned of Robotnik's return and joined forces with Rachel to rescue Tom, Sonic, and Tails from G.U.N. before returning to Green Hills to support Sonic in successfully defeating the Giant Eggman Robot with Tails and Knuckles the Echidna, and assisting Sonic in his Super Sonic state.
She also took Sonic's new friends into the Wachowski Residence by 2024, entrusting Knuckles with returning her library books once and also having to ground him for his constant terrorization of construction workers trying to repair the house.
Some time later, Maddie, Tom, and the Team Sonic celebrated Sonic's "bearthday" before the team was recruited for a mission in Tokyo. Eventually, Maddie and Tom helped the team infiltrate the G.U.N. Headquarters, after which she accompanied Tom to the hospital following his injury at the hands of Shadow the Hedgehog. After Earth was saved by the team, Maddie and her family set up a new campsite once Tom had recovered.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
- "Thomas Michael Wachowski, what did you do the entire time I was in veterinary school?"
"I worked a second job to pay the rent and-"
"A third job to pay tuition." - ―Maddie Wachowski and Tom Wachowski[src]
After having met and married Tom Wachowski, Maddie was educated as a veterinarian at a veterinary school whilst her husband payed for rent and tuition by working at two extra jobs. At some point, Maddie started to work for the Green Hills' veterinarian clinic and would be nicknamed "Green Hills Most Respected Veterinarian" by Tom.[1] At some point in their marriage, Maddie and Tom developed a dream of one day traveling to London, England.[3]
Tom's New Job[]
Maddie watches Tom Wachowski read his received letter
- "Hey, what are those?"
"Apartments for rent I found on Zillow. I thought Ozzie and I could fly there tomorrow and check out some neighborhoods."
"I mean, this is all happening so fast."
"Oh, man. It's the craziest thing; you apply for the job, you get the job."
"Well, pending a background check." - ―Tom Wachowski and Maddie Wachowski[src]
As Tom returned home from his sheriff duty, Maddie presented him with an envelope sent by the San Francisco Police Department. It read that Tom's application had been reviewed and that Wachowski was accepted to join their team. For this special message, Maddie created a special cake to celebrate, also having made an alternate one in case Tom would not have been selected. Maddie had also searched for apartments on Zillow to reside in San Francisco. Though skeptical if Maddie approved of this big change, she assured Tom that she is both proud and okay with it.[1]
Residing in San Francisco[]
- "Whatcha doing?"
"Just coloring with Jojo and Rachel."
"Ah, that sounds half fun." - ―Tom Wachowski and Maddie Wachowski[src]
Having traveled to San Francisco, Maddie called Tom from Rachel's Home, where she, her niece Jojo and her sister Rachel were spending time coloring. After being informed about the Green Hills Energy Surge, Tom mentioned the raccoons' return to Maddie as well and planned to "scare" them away with Maddie's tranquilizer gun, despite Maddie protesting against the use of it and telling Tom that it is only to be used upon bears.[1]
Meeting Sonic[]
Learning About Sonic[]
Maddie tells Rachel to calm down
- "What the heck is going on?! Is that thing an alien?!"
- ―Maddie Wachowski to Tom Wachowski[src]
After Tom Wachowski and Sonic the Hedgehog met, evading the forces of Ivo Robotnik which eventually led to Sonic's unconscious state, Tom decided to visit Rachel's Home. When he did, Rachel attempted to block the front door, but Maddie opened it, telling Rachel to calm herself. Concerned over Tom's appearance on the news, Ozzie revealed that Sonic was under the blanket Tom was carrying.
Maddie uses smelling salts upon Sonic the Hedgehog
Even though she remained appalled at an alien's appearance, Maddie agreed to help Sonic regain consciousness. Tom advised her to use smelling salts, and upon doing so, Sonic confusedly sprinted across the kitchen. Maddie took Tom to another room to make him explain Sonic's species and presence. After explaining how he met him and that he is, in fact, an alien, he told Maddie that Sonic needs to visit the Transamerica Pyramid in order to retrieve his lost rings. Maddie is then convinced in helping Sonic getting back home.[1]
Arrival at the Transamerica Pyramid[]
Maddie and Tom observe the Transamerica Pyramid
- "Sonic, I know you got the super speed and everything, but Maddie and I…"
"Totally defenseless? Probably gonna get blown up?"
"Pretty much, yeah."
"Don't worry. I know exactly what to do." - ―Tom Wachowski, Sonic the Hedgehog and Maddie Wachowski[src]
The trio got to the outside of the Transamerica Pyramid with Sonic the Hedgehog's horrible driving, a tactic that Maddie found unreasonable. Wondering what would happen now, Maddie was amazed as Sonic sped up the pyramid, returning to tell Maddie and Tom that a special key needed to be of use. Tom developed the idea of making up a suicidal-related situation taking place on the roof of the building and hiding Sonic in a bag that he'd carry as Maddie went alongside them, which worked.
As they reached the roof, having caused an awkward situation in the elevator before, Maddie and Tom prepared to see Sonic leave Earth after retrieving his rings, only for Ivo Robotnik and his Badniks to halt Sonic's escape. With the Flying Eggs readying their firearms, Sonic decided to push the Wachowskis off the roof, allowing them to fall in a ring portal to farmer Zimmer's barn in Green Hills.[1]
Skirmish at Green Hills[]
- "I kinda feel like I checked the 'save a life' box off my bucket list. Now all I want to do is spend my life with the people I care about. I want to check that box."
"Yeah, I like that." - ―Maddie Wachowski and Tom Wachowski[src]
Maddie, Tom Wachowski and Zimmer arrived in Green Hills just in time to see Sonic's supposed demise executed by Ivo Robotnik. She'd also see Tom attempting to fight Robotnik, but he was thrown off his Egg-Pod. Maddie would rush over to Tom, inspecting him to see if he is okay and watched Sonic unlock his true Chaos Energy powers after Tom confirmed Sonic to be his best friend to Robotnik. Maddie would then witness the battle between Sonic and Robotnik, and how Robotnik would be banished to the Mushroom Planet.
Maddie worries about Rachel
After Sonic and Tom high-fived with Tom's nickname "Donut Lord" being mentioned, Maddie requested an explanation for the name, but both Tom and Sonic classified it as "their thing," something Maddie and her sister also have. This reminded Maddie of Rachel remaining tied up in her chair, vowing never to return to San Francisco. Tom also decided to stay in Green Hills and work for the Green Hills Sheriff's Department whilst spending time with Maddie and the people he cared about.[1]
Renovation and Sonic's Stay[]
- "Well, welcome home."
- ―Maddie Wachowski to Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
After Tom and Maddie renovated the house because of its invasion, U.S. military commander Walters gifted the Wachowskis an Olive Garden gift card for keeping the skirmish at Green Hills a secret and wanted to speak to Sonic the Hedgehog, but both Maddie and Tom assured him Sonic will never be seen again. Closing the door on him, Maddie told Sonic to go back to his "cave." As Sonic unwillingly left, he was called back to see the attic, where it was now designed to be his bedroom. Sonic thus thanked both Wachowskis for letting him stay.[1]
Another Day in Green Hills[]
- "Bye, Sonic! I have to get to the clinic. Promise me you'll stay out of trouble until Tom and Wade are back from their trip."
- ―Maddie Wachowski to Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
One day, when Tom Wachowski and Wade Whipple were on vacation, Maddie left Sonic the Hedgehog at home to visit the veterinarian clinic, warning him to not cause trouble.[4]
Trip to Hawaii[]
Rachel's Wedding[]
- "Buddies. Wingmen. A squad. Sonic doesn't have anything like that. He's flying solo."
"Baby, you got to relax. You're at the four seasons. Have a Mai Tai. Spend some time with your wife."
"That's what he said. Seriously, his exact words."
"See? He's a smart kid. He'll find his way." - ―Tom Wachowski and Maddie Wachowski[src]
After Sonic had a talk with Tom by the lake, of which Maddie reminded Sonic of, she and Tom were sent to Hawaii by him after a fist bump, which they call a power bump, to attend her sister Rachel's wedding. She'd sit by Rachel at a table watching her fiancé Randall Handel perform a joke on Tom and later spoke to Tom, who thought Sonic should have a group of friends such as Randall's. Maddie, like Sonic, told him to relax and assured him Sonic would find his way alone.[5]
"Operation: Catfish"[]
- "All right. Game plan. I get inside the hotel and find where they're hiding Tom and Sonic."
"Okay. Then I find Randall, right? And then I squeeze the breath from his lying, deceitful, perfectly manscaped body!" - ―Maddie Wachowski and Rachel[src]
At the wedding ceremony of Rachel and Randall, Tom suddenly interrupted it by throwing a ring portal, erupting Sonic and an avalanche. Maddie and Tom walked up to the snow-buried Sonic, who explained that Robotnik has returned as Doctor Eggman, looking for the powerful Master Emerald to rule over the world, then stressed to awaken his newfound and unconscious buddy Tails. Maddie was shocked as Sonic was tased and taken away by Walters' G.U.N.. She told him that Sonic, who was not an alien threat as G.U.N. assumed, was the only one who could stop Eggman, Walters shared the fact of his return with his soldiers.
Receiving Tails' backpack from ring bearer Jojo, Maddie had the idea to infiltrate the hotel, where Tom and Sonic are hidden, while Rachel would attempt to harm Randall, an agent. Maddie would find herself surrounded by agents, being saved by Rachel.
Maddie, having managed to rescue Tom and Sonic, returned to see a great energy beam spurring from an island afar. Maddie exclaimed to Sonic that going over there alone is much to big for him, despite his determination to prove his responsibility. Tails awakened as Sonic left, though Maddie and Tom told him to sit back and rest. Tails told them that Sonic doesn't know what he is up against.[5]
Battle Against the Giant Eggman Robot[]
- "You have to get away from me. I'm the one he wants."
"Hey. We're not going anywhere. We're family."
"And families stick together… No matter what."
"I love you guys."
"We love you too, Sonic." - ―Sonic the Hedgehog, Maddie Wachowski and Tom Wachowski[src]
Maddie and Tom returned to Green Hills with G.U.N. to meet a Master Emerald-powered Eggman, who created a formidable robot wrecking the town. She and Tom spotted the Sonic and his friends piloting the Tornado and opted to evacuate the other townsfolk.
Maddie and Tom are rescued by Super Sonic
As they helped people leave, Maddie and Tom took a truck of Tom's friend, driving towards a heavily injured Sonic so Maddie could save him from the robot's imminent foot, being tipped over by its fist afterwards. Maddie and Tom held Sonic in arms, about to be crushed, until Sonic, holding the now broken Master Emerald, absorbed its Chaos Emeralds, rescuing Maddie and Tom with incredible power. Maddie later hugged Sonic and Tails, performing a power bump with Tom as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles formed a new order to protect the Master Emerald.
When her wounds healed, Maddie would play baseball with everyone and invite them to eat ice cream afterwards.[5]
Entrusting Knuckles with Her Books[]
- "I swore an oath to return these sacred tomes or Maddie would be dishonored with late fees."
- ―Knuckles the Echidna[src]
By 2024, Maddie entrusted Knuckles with returning her library books to the local library. If he didn't, Maddie would receive a multitude of late fees. Told by Sonic that they were headed there, Knuckles was instead lead to the junkyard and entered a fight in which the books got burnt and severely damaged by a sentient Badnik named Unit. After Sonic and Tails managed to reform Unit, Knuckles still demanded justice for the fallen books.[6]
Grounding Knuckles[]
Maddie apologizes to the renovation crew for Knuckles' actions
- "That's it. Get down right now. You are grounded!"
"I have no idea what that means."
"Well, I definitely do. It means no battling enemies."
"No leaving your room on quests."
"And most of all, no warrior-ing." - ―Maddie Wachowski, Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails[src]
A few months later, Maddie hired several renovation crews to repair the hole inside the living room, although each was driven away by ambushes from Knuckles, who believed the family was under attack. After the last team fled, a frustrated Maddie asked Sonic and Tails for help in dealing with Knuckles. Sonic decides to have a talk with him soon, and Maddie noticed that Knuckles and Ozzie were on the roof.
Maddie grounds Knuckles
The next day, Maddie made breakfast before discovering that Knuckles, after taking Sonic's advice, had built his own iron throne, proving that he turned the room into a duel of warriors. After Sonic and Tails arrived downstairs, Knuckles guided them to the living room where he introduced Ozzie to face his worst enemy, the mailman. Afterwards, Maddie scolded Knuckles for his warrior attitude and grounded him, although Knuckles was confused not knowing its meaning and challenged Maddie's authority, further increasing her anger. After Sonic advised him not to keep going with this, Knuckles agreed to be grounded and went to the attic. Maddie realized that she was going to be late for work, and Tails informed her that Knuckles used parts of their car for the throne. Maddie then tried to call Wade Whipple, but was left on voicemail as Wade was practicing for the biggest tournament of his life.[2]
Celebrating Sonic's "Bearthday"[]
- "Wait a second. You guys. What is all this? Happy Bea Arthur Day?"
"Oh, it's Happy B-Earth-day."
"Today's the anniversary of the day you came to Earth, bud. It's your B-Earth-Day birthday." - ―Sonic the Hedgehog, Maddie Wachowski and Tom Wachowski[src]
Sometime later, Maddie, Tom, Team Sonic, and Ozzie went on a camping trip to celebrate Sonic's anniversary on Earth, calling the party the "Bearthday." To distract Sonic, they set up a race against holograms of Tails and Knuckles, but when Sonic realized the holograms weren't real, he returned to the campsite, where the Wachowskis, Tails, and Knuckles surprised him to start the celebration. In the night, as the family relaxed around the campfire roasting marshmallows, a G.U.N. helicopter arrived, and Director Rockwell stepped out to recruit the team for a mission in Tokyo, Japan, which they accepted after saying their goodbyes to the Wachowskis.[3]
Shadow and Gerald Robotnik's Revenge Plot[]
Recruited by Team Sonic[]
Maddie and Tom accept the request of Team Sonic
- "Okay, I'm just gonna say it. It sounds like this plan will work a heck of a lot better if Sonic used the Master Emerald to go golden god mode to get the key."
"No way, Maddie. The Master Emerald is too powerful to ever use again. We made a promise to each other to keep it hidden." - ―Maddie Wachowski and Sonic the Hedgehog[src]
While Team Sonic was away, Maddie and Tom took the opportunity to relax at home, learning new skills like sewing, painting, and baking muffins. However, the team suddenly teleported back to the house using a ring portal and recruited the Wachowskis for a mission. Using the Miles Electric, Tails projected the plan: Maddie and Tom needed to infiltrate the G.U.N. Headquarters in London to connect Tails' USB, which would deactivate the force field and allow Sonic to bypass the laser-filled hallway leading to the vault. Their goal was to reach the second Eclipse Cannon keycard before Team Robotnik. Maddie suggested that it would be easier if Sonic used the Master Emerald to activate his super form, but the team dismissed the idea due to the immense power of the relic, and Knuckles refused to reveal its current location.[3]
Infiltration into G.U.N. Headquarters[]
Disguised, Maddie tries to imitate Rachel
- "Take it out and blow on it. Little trick from the '90s."
"I mean, best decade ever, right?" - ―Tom Wachowski and Maddie Wachowski[src]
Maddie, Tom, and Team Sonic traveled to London to carry out the infiltration plan at the G.U.N. Headquarters, with the Wachowskis disguised in G.U.N. agent uniforms to blend in. Using Tails' holographic devices, Maddie adopted the likeness of Rachel while Tom took on the appearance of Randall Handel, allowing them to gain entry. However, when they requested to proceed further into the headquarters under the pretense of heading to lunch, an agent denied them access. Acting aggressively in character as Rachel, Maddie managed to intimidate the agent with the threat of dismissal, successfully securing their passage.
Inside the server room, Maddie took on the appearance of Rockwell to activate the door. However, when the real Rockwell appeared in the hallway, Maddie helped Tom successfully assume the likeness of Randall after several attempts. Once inside the room, Maddie inserted Tails' USB, but it failed to work. Tom took it out, blew on it, and then reinserted it, successfully connecting it to Tails' laptop. He declared it was an old trick from the '90s. Suddenly, the Wachowskis noticed another USB with a large mustache, causing the team to worry as they realized that Team Robotnik had also managed to infiltrate the headquarters. However, the Wachowskis and Tails were caught by Rockwell and her platoon and were taken to the vault, where they saw Sonic, Doctor Eggman, and his grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, trapped by the variable gravity system. She threatened to arrest everyone, but just then, Knuckles appeared, breaking through the headquarters window.
Maddie views the Eclipse Cannon's laser from afar
Knuckles struck Rockwell's tablet, causing a disruption in the vault. Meanwhile, the Wachowskis and Tails were trapped on the ground as a boulder loomed, threatening to crush them. However, Sonic was able to transform into a ball and destroy the boulder, saving his family. After Tom managed to grab Rockwell's keycard, Shadow the Hedgehog severely injured him, mistaking him for Walters. After the attack, Maddie and the team were concerned for Tom's condition, only to then witness the Team Robotnik deploying the Space Colony ARK. With Tom in critical condition, Maddie accompanied him to the hospital, her concern growing as she watched the Team Sonic from afar. Later, she witnessed from a distance how the shot from the Eclipse Cannon aimed at Earth was stopped by Super Sonic and Super Shadow, with help from Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman.[3]
Tom's Recovery[]
Maddie hugs Team Sonic and a recovered Tom
After Earth was saved, Tom left the hospital with a cast, being escorted by Maddie, Team Sonic, and Ozzie to a new campsite to have some fun before sharing an emotional group hug, relieved and happy that Tom had survived. They rejoiced in being together again. However, Sonic then challenged Tails and Knuckles to a fair race.[3]
Personality[]
- "You sacrificed for me. I'm happy to sacrifice for you."
- ―Maddie Wachowski to Tom Wachowski[src]
Incredibly warm and loving, as well as really smart, Maddie is shown to be exceptionally supportive of both her friends and loved ones, as well as their dreams. As an example, she made Tom two cakes to congratulate him in getting the job he wanted in San Francisco or in case he did not get it. Whenever she senses that something is up with those close to her, she is willing to drop everything to work towards making both those close to her and herself happy together. As such, she is willing to sacrifice as much as those around her are willing to sacrifice for her sake. She also works well under-pressure and shows both emotional and intellectual maturity, refusing to engage in her sister's rants about divorcing Tom.
Maddie also cares deeply about animals, being super nice and sympathetic towards both wild animals and domestic animals, and works hard to make sure they are healthy. Notably, she would scold Tom not to shoot the wild raccoons that get into their trash with her tranquilizer dart gun and got annoyed with him when she found out he shot Sonic with it. Thanks to her love for animals, Maddie became deeply attached to Sonic, whom she treated like her son.
