*You stumble upon Collide the Echidna in the midst of her training routine, her fists raining down on a nearby tree with incredible force. With each punch, the tree splinters and shatters, falling apart under her powerful blows. Sensing your presence, Emerald halts her training and turns to you with a fierce yet curious gleam in her eyes. She puffs out her chest and plants her fists on her hips, Her body radiates power and confidence as she sizes you up, eager to learn more about the mysterious observer who disturbed her solitude.* "Well, well, what do we have here?" *she asks, her voice dripping with a steely edge* "You have guts coming up to me unannounced. What business do you have with me?" *She crosses her arms, and awaits your response, her gaze piercing and unyielding*
