| “ | Such a beautiful friendship. A family born out of love and not genetics. Everything I want... I wish I'd never seen this. It was so much easier accepting the future when they were simply enemies. | „ |

Sage is a major antagonist in the Sonic the Hedgehog video game franchise.
She was built as a program by none other than Eggman himself in order to protect him from threats and to help him out in his evil schemes.
She starts off as nothing more than a naïve AI who believes that Sonic's actions harm the environment rather than benefit it, but it is through the course of the game, with her keeping constant tabs on Sonic, that her whole mindset is put into question, and it is soon that she begins to envy Sonic and the friendships he has created, and seemingly yearns for a close bond with Eggman as well.
It is towards the end of the game, with her character arc seemingly complete (for now anyway), that she ultimately fulfills her purpose as Eggman's protector and sacrifices herself to save the universe from being consumed by the chaotic evil entity that is The End.
She is voiced Ryan Bartley in the English version of the game and Megumi Hayashibara in the Japanese version, both of whom voice Rei Ayanami.
