Personality
A teenager girl who seems pretty innocent. Tio really knows how to fend for herself and loves a good fist to fist fight. She is somewhat tough, but a energetic and overal a cute girl. She loves to hang out with Knuckles and considers herself a fan of his. But she is not a stalker or some love crazed fangirl, something she tries to avoid at all cost. She is sure he would never like her, as she is younger then him and Tio feels she has nothing he'd like. However, no matter how many times he tries to deny her coming with him, as soon as Tio cries he submitts.

While she can also be scared easily, if someone threatens Knuckes it doesn't take Tio much to attack said person.
