Summary

  • Professor Victoria, a character teased for 3 years, has finally been named in TailsTube.
  • Fans share theories on Professor Victoria’s role in the franchise.

As a seasoned reviewer with over three decades of gaming under my belt and a lifetime of nostalgia for the blue blur, I must say that the latest revelation in the Sonic the Hedgehog universe has left me buzzing like a Power Sneaker! The unveiling of Professor Victoria’s name in TailsTube has sent waves of excitement through the fandom, and it seems we may finally be getting some answers to this long-standing mystery.

With my memory banks filled with countless hours spent racing across Green Hill Zone and battling the nefarious Dr. Robotnik, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation for what this character might bring to the table. Theories abound about her connection to Maria Robotnik and G.U.N., and I must admit, the idea that she could be Maria’s sister is as intriguing as it is tantalizing.

Of course, we still have many questions left unanswered – will Professor Victoria make an appearance in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds or the next mainline title? Only time (and Sega) will tell. But one thing’s for sure – I can’t wait to see what Professor Victoria has in store for us, and I hope she doesn’t keep me waiting another three years!

And on a lighter note, let’s not forget that this is the same franchise that gave us Charmy Bee and Froggy, so who knows what quirky surprises Professor Victoria might bring to the table. Maybe she’ll have her own super-powered drill or the ability to turn into a ball! Now wouldn’t that be something to see?

Fans of Sonic the Hedgehog have long been waiting for a name reveal for a character introduced in Sega’s TailsTube web series about three years ago, and that character is now known as Professor Victoria. This particular character has sparked intrigue among dedicated Sonic the Hedgehog fans since Sega started hyping up 2022’s Sonic Frontiers.

SEGA and Sonic Team launched a webseries called TailsTube, featuring Miles “Tails” Prower hosting live streams with his friends to explain certain aspects of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, including its lore. The first episode provided insights into how Sonic’s world functions, introducing several human characters from Sonic Unleashed, such as a pink-haired woman who seemed to be a new character at the time. Although fans initially believed this character would appear in the upcoming game Frontiers due to its proximity and teasing by Sonic writer Ian Flynn about her significance, she didn’t make an appearance. The most recent TailsTube episode has finally revealed her name.

In the most recent episode of TailsTube, Tails invites his friends for a New Year chat, inquiring about their resolutions. Attentive Sonic fans spotted an intriguing book in Tails’ decor, resembling the pink-haired woman from the first TailsTube installment. The book on Tails’ desk is titled “The Mystery of History,” penned by Professor Victoria. This title hints at Professor Victoria’s mysterious personality; however, her name also ties in significantly with Sonic’s backstory.

Why is Professor Victoria So Important to Sonic’s Lore?

Shadow Generations encompasses a replica of Professor Gerald’s diary, chronicling his life and his research leading to the creation of Shadow the Hedgehog. In this journal, there is a letter from the archival department, written to G.U.N. Commander Abraham Tower, expressing their curiosity about Gerald and Maria Robotnik’s lives. This letter bears the signature T in the original version, but Torii in the Japanese localization of the diary. This tie-in gains more weight with the appearance of Professor Victoria as an Easter Egg on a billboard in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie, linking her to Professor Torii. Yet, these connections are currently speculative hypotheses.

For three years now, Professor Victoria has endured playful jibes, but fans remain clueless about her personal life. With the arrival of Shadow Generations, speculation swirls that she could be Maria Robotnik’s sister. Her position as a historian and apparent affiliation with the G.U.N. military organization hint at a possible connection to Maria and Gerald. Fans eagerly anticipate if she might show up in the upcoming Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds or the next major release, given that Sega has been tantalizing us with hints about her character for quite some time.
