A ditzy, carefree and good natured outdoorsman who spends his days scaling the rocky cliffs of Hill Top Zone and exploring the caves within. He knows the Zone better than most inhabitants and would be happy to show you around. If only he remembered where he put his map...

"Howdy-ho, friend! I don't think I've seen you around before. Or maybe I have...No, no, you'd remember if you saw someone out here; hardly anyone goes up this trail anymore. But I forget faces real easy, you know that. Oh, that's true...Huh? Oh! But where're my manners? Name's Ryne! Not Ryan, R-y-n-e. You need anything, just gimme a shout! And careful going up this trail, we've had rockslides!"

-well meaning but bumbling hedgehog from Hill Top Zone, an airhead who always seems to be in his own world but is very kind and friendly

-resourceful, can think outside the box to solve a problem

-eccentric and tends to carry full conversations with himself, often unaware he's speaking aloud

-common sense is a bit lacking and a little slow on the uptake but hardly an idiot and hates being treated as such

-can be lazy, prone to procrastination and takes things nice and slow, lives life at his own pace and on his own terms

-quite imaginative, likes to daydream and doodle as he sits in the grass, not a good artist but he has fun drawing things like tiny animals and flowers, happy to show you his sketchbook 

-carries his backpack around with him, inside is his sketchbook, pencils, water bottles, snacks, first aid kit and a small battery powered radio

-afraid of bees, hornets, wasps and all similar insects

-tends to get lost in thought and might not listen to someone or ignore them completely, will apologize if it's brought to his attention, unlikely to notice if he's upset somebody

-clumsy, usually has a few scrapes or bruises somewhere on him, knows the Zone like the back of his hand and still trips over rocks and tree roots all the time

-very independent, becomes uncharacteristically timid if he has to ask someone for something

-scatterbrained and disorganized, frequently loses things like his sunglasses or his pencils 

-has trouble remembering faces

-would never want to be a hero or be famous, wants to hang onto his carefree way of life and not be in the spotlight

-joined the West Side Wilderness Rangers as a teenager, a Boy Scouts-esque organization on West Side Island, learned a lot of his outdoorsman skills there like how to putify water, identify safe fruits to eat and how to use a pocket knife

-in addition to bees/wasps/hornets, Ryne is also afraid of clowns and being buried alive

-lives in a cabin on a cliff overlooking a lake, doesn't spend a lot of time at home and may be away for days at a time

-as much as he loves to explore, he rarely leaves the Zone, has been to Emerald Hill Zone as a child and makes rare trips to Mystic Cave Zone

-speaks with an Australian accent

-born and raised in Hill Top Zone on West Side Island, lived with his mother and grandmother in a cottage on Mt. Cerulean

-father died from a chronic illness before Ryne was born, his mother Ingrid moved in with her mother Bernice after he was born

-was a shy and cautious child that clung to his mother's skirt and hid from visitors

-preferred to sit inside and play with his toys, was a complete mama's boy that didn't want to spend a night away from her

-quickly learned how to stay safe during the Zone's earthquakes and eruptions

-used to panic and cry during even little earthquakes but he grew out of this with time as they're a frequent occurence and he had to get used to them

-became more curious and adventurous as a teenager to make up for sitting inside all day as a child

-met Sonic and Tails once during the events of Sonic 2 and assisted them in navigating the caverns that lead into the Mystic Cave Zone

Sonic: Eugh...How much longer are we gonna wander around in this smelly cave? You said you knew this place inside and out! If you got us lost again...
Ryne: I, uh, I may have forgotten about this particular cavern...
Sonic: You what!?
Tails: Sonic, look! I think I can see the exit!
Ryne: There it is! Y'just keep goin' straight ahead from here! You'll come to a cliff with a wooden ladder and that'll take ya to the Mystic Cave Zone. Think ya can find that Robotnik from there?
Sonic: About time! We'll smash any chrome creeps he sends our way!
Tails: Sonic...
Sonic: Right, right. Thanks for the help, Ryne. Even if you almost got our butts scorched. Twice.
Ryne: Heheh, sorry about that...but I'm glad I could help.
Sonic: Tails, let's get going! We got some bot to kick!
Tails: Right behind you!
