&nbsp "I am a being of a greatness! You have alot of nerve to consider yourself equal to me!  YOUR leadership??  You just want to use my power for your own greed and corruption!  Far too long was I forced to stay in the shadow of man!"

                                                                                                     -Ushara

Ushara (ウシャラ Ushara) is a fictional Goddess who makes her first and only appearance in Amy Rose and Friends. She was a Goddess that ruled Apotos alongside her Overbearing husband Apepper. After the civilians of Apotos rebelled against the dictating Apepper, Ushara escaped and tried to rally together the women of the town, only to be caught and her talismans stolen and used against her to be sealed away in a tomb south of Apotos in the mountains. Since then, she bore a deep hate for the male gender and vowed revenge and complete rule of the world for womankind.

She wears a light red touga-dress with pink slippers. She has long, crimson hair and blue eyes.

In the Japanese version, she is voiced by Naomi Shindoh. In the English version, she is voiced by Maria Vu.

A Man's World
Over a Millenium ago, Gods and Goddesses once walked the Earth. Apepper was the God of Apotos, and a cruel, dictating one at that. His wife, Ushara, noticed the hardship the people were going through and sensed a mutany uprising. She tried to warn her husband, but Apepper would not hear her, demanding that as his wife, her duty was to serve him, not scold him. Unfortuantely, the men of Apotos rebelled, using the Chaos Emeralds to overpower Apepper and destroy him. Likewise, they stripped Usahra of her five Talismans, but she somehow managed to escape. Noticing that the women of Apotos were nothing more than servants to their husbands, she tried to rally them together, to fight for themselves, but the men found her. Using her own Talismans against her, the men trapped Ushara in a seal in the mountains. Throughout the centuries, Ushara's hatred towards men intensified.

Great Escape
Presently, while many people in the world have forgotten all about the Ushara legend, Dr. Eggman had been doing his research, and traveled down to Apotos with a stolen Chaos Emerald, using it to break apart Ushara's seal and thus freeing the Goddess. However, upon seeing Eggman, Ushara was far from grateful, and rather than thank him, she imprisoned him in her dimension, using his Chaos Emerald as her new source of power. She then wasted no time going around the world and imprisoning every male she could, including Sonic the Hedgehog.

Vowing to save her reluctant-boyfriend, Amy Rose joins together with her friends and newcomer Venom the Cobra as they travel the world to find the missing Talismans (two of which Amy already has, the Topaz Bracelets) and the other six Chaos Emeralds to overpower Ushara.

Once the girls find Ushara's dimension, she does battle, but is overpowered by the six emeralds compared to her one. However, when they weren't looking, she is able to snag the seven emeralds back and killed Venom. She is about to deal the same fate to Blaze and Rouge when Amy stops her, using the power of the Talismans to become Ancient Amy. The two battle, and Amy wins, teleporting everyone back to the Earth dimension, and destroying Ushara once and for all.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)
Ushara appears briefly in Archie Sonic, in a short back-story that promotes the upcoming game "Amy Rose and Friends". The story simpily retells the intro of the game.

Personality
Long ago, Ushara was once a passive Goddess, as she was forced to serve and listen to her husband Apepper. She was concerned about his behavior towards the mortals they ruled over, not so much for their sake, but her own.

After the rebellion, and the men of the city stopping her from rallying up the wives of Apotos and sealed her for centuries in the tomb, she become more and more bitter, specifically towards the male gender. This was proven in the intro when Eggman releases her, and she barely lets him speak before she imprisons him and goes out to enslave all the other men in the entire world.

Obsessed with revenge and world domination, she will destroy anything that gets in her way, including certain females that try to stop her.

Family
Apepper - Ushara's husband. Once the mighty God of Apotos, Ushara was his passive wife. She tried to reason with him when it came to bullying the civilians of their country, but he simpily ignored her and told her never to tell him what to do. As a woman, it's supposed to be the other way around. This contributes towards her hatred of men.

Enemies
Ushara has no specific enemies, though she considers anyone that tries to get in her way her enemy. This includes Amy Rose, Cream the Rabbit, Rouge the Bat, Blaze the Cat, and Venom the Cobra.

Abilities
Ushara's power once came from the Five Talismans. When they were stripped from her by the men of Apotos, she became powerless and sealed away. When Eggman frees her, she steals his Chaos Emerald and uses that as her new source of power.

With her powers, she is able to float, teleport to different dimensions, and various energy attacks.

Trivia
