Wave the Swallow

Wave the Swallow (ウェーブ・ザ・スワロー, Uēbu za Suwarō), is both a fictional character and deuteragonist from the SKB's Sonic Pokémon series created by Yuji Naka and Satoshi Tajiri. She is an anthropomorphic swallow and female member of Team Babylon.

As the technical and mechanical expert of the current generation of Babylon Rogues, she takes care of her team's Extreme Gears. Due to her knowledge on the Gears, she is brimming with self-confidence and a bit of a trash-talker and highly critical of others' customized work.

She hates thick-headed or stupid people and she tends to give advice only she can understand. Regardless, Wave is remaining as the level-headed and still serves as the voice of reason in the Babylon Rogues, though sometimes she is often mistreated by the other members.

"No one can tune a Gear the way I can!"

Personality
Because of her knowledge, Wave is brimming with self-confidence. She is very arrogant about her expertise at Extreme Gear, certain that no one can match her in this field. She is a super-achiever and holds very high standards for how Extreme Gear should be and never hesitates to dismiss others' Extreme Gear as 'junk'. She takes great pride in her skills and is passionate about her profession, becoming indignant when someone insults or blames her work for their own failures. She has a keen eye for detail, takes notice of everything, and hates thick-headed and stupid people.

Also, she tends to give advice using terminology understandable to only herself and not others. Naturally, this causes tension and frustration between her and others like Jet. Wave often refuses to admit others' talents with Extreme Gear mechanics due to her dislike of anyone who could rival her. She often hold back on her compliments and will either continue to dismiss or deny that the person has any skill at all to cover up any sense of generous gesture she may hold. In the cases she does give compliments, she will disguise them as insults.

It is only in the rarest of cases that Wave gives well-meant compliments. While generally fun-loving like the rest of the Babylon Rogues, Wave is very level-headed and serves as the voice of reason amongst her group, often lecturing Jet and Storm of their responsibilities. Because of her teammates' unreliability, Wave believes that she has to take charge of the team if anything is to get done. She is very serious on a job, staying dedicated to the task at hand and insists on no lack of dedication from her companions. When things do not go as planned, however, she tends to get impatient.

Also, she can be quite stubborn and obstinated when making a decision. Wave is usually rude, and has a sly attitude and snide sense humor. Being the most outgoing of the Babylon Rogues, Wave has no problem insulting others and mocking their Extreme Gear. She will also take compliments or conversations from others and twist them around so that she can throw them back at others as a snide comment. Wave also finds amusement in insulting and degrading her opponents' skills during races.

When it comes to accomplishing her teams' goal, Wave is perfectly willing to cheat in official competitions, such as sabotaging Sonic's Extreme Gear, even without Jet knowing it. Likewise, she will gladly take whatever beneficial chance that might present itself, such as taking the Key to Babylon Garden on behalf of Jet when Sonic returned it despite Jet refusing to accept it. Wave also has a great deal of greedy love for money and treasure, and her primary motive in life is to acquire as much wealth as possible. This was her sole reason for willingly competing in the World Grand Prix.

Physical Abilities
Just like many of the other characters in the Sonic Pokémon series, Wave is shown to be able to reach high speeds on foot, reaching at least 100 SPD. Being a Flight-type character, Wave is capable of at least limited flight, which has only been shown when she is riding an Extreme Gear through Dash Rings.

Even though Wave is not as strong or durable as characters such as Storm, she is shown to have some degree of physical endurance, as shown in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity when she was attacked by SCR-HD, being knocked over and slightly injured, but mostly unharmed.

Mechanical skills and intelligence
Easily the most intelligent of the current generation of Babylon Rogues, Wave is quite knowledgeable and a superb mechanic, with her specialty lying in the field of the workings of Extreme Gear. Described as a really brilliant mecha mechanic, Wave is a mechanical genius, gifted in craft of Extreme Gear mechanics and has advanced mechanical knowledge and experience about tuning, building and the workings of Extreme Gear that far surpasses that of both Tails and Dr. Eggman. According to herself, she is the foremost Extreme Gear expert in the world.

Besides Extreme Gear, Wave is also well-versed in other types of mechanics and technologies, being able to fix many things and shows well-above general knowledge of the functions and operations of different technology, such as microchip-sized diaries, MeteorTech's signal network, explosives, and even the Babylonians' technology. Additionally, Wave is quite intelligent in the field of science and physics, being ale to analyze and understand the scientific concepts of the Arks of the Cosmos. She also has knowledge about how to decipher the ancient texts written by the Babylonians.

Extreme Gear skills
As a member of the Babylon Rouges, Wave is a highly adept Extreme Gear rider, and is presumably one of the best Extreme Gear riders in the world, having been acknowledged as a legendary wind master. When riding on an Extreme Gear, Wave can move expertly at high speeds, perform both complex and impressive tricks and body movements while in mid-air, and engage in combat with other Extreme Gear riders while riding her own Extreme Gear and not lose control. She is also able to ride her Extreme Gear through mid-air with great precisions and control over her movements.

While not having been shown fighting in direct hand-to-hand combat, Wave is skilled at utilizing various types of gadgets and tools efficiently in combat, ranging from using giant wrenches or spanners as clubs to planting small explosives on her opponents.

Equipment
The red gem attached to Wave's necklace doubles as a utility device that is capable of loading data, projecting holographs, and functioning as an alarm clock.

Weapons
In combat, Wave preferred choice of weapon is a large wrench or a spanner that she uses skillfully as a club in melee combat. However, she also uses small packs of dynamite and other explosives that she plants on her opponents and then detonates for maximum damage.
