Confused and wishing she had be caught and brought before Robotnik to get answers for his actions, she headed into the Great Forest again, only to be confronted by Sonic once more. Chasing Sonic Īs Sonic's parents were also roboticized, Mina felt he was someone she could relate to, but still continued to feel lonely and even considered allowing herself to be roboticized if only to be with her mother. Per the Prince's instruction, Mina brought the supplies to the Queen, and then informed King Acorn of what had befallen his son. It was there that she encountered Prince Elias who had snuck back into Robotropolis for some medical supplies to heal Queen Alicia Acorn, and passed them on to her before being captured by Shadowbots. Even though she was supposed to stay in Knothole where it was safe, there was at least one time that Mina wandered outside its boundaries into the Great Forest. While there, she found some meaning by helping Rosie Woodchuck at her orphanage to babysit other young orphans including Sasha, Rory and Snaggle, who seemed to take a liking to her as they could relate, having also lost their parents to Robotnik. īarely evading patrols of Shadowbots in the Badlands, she eventually arrived in Knothole via the Great Oak Slide. Mina finally agreed to leave with the group.

However, Sonic and Sally both comforted her, and Sonic attempted to make her realize that those who had been captured were likely already roboticized, and that only by remaining free would they have a chance at attempting a later rescue. Despite being told to flee, she attempted to get into Eggman's headquarters, only to be stopped by the hedgehog at which point she finally broke down in grief.

Sonic and Sally met her among a group of mobians that were being rounded up by Shadowbots whom they rescued from capture at the last moment. Mogul, who at the time was trapped in the Master Emerald, appeared to Mina as an astral projection, and marked her because he sensed she and Sonic the Hedgehog would one day share a connection. During her time in the city, Mina met the ancient villain Mammoth Mogul, who used his Chaos powers and Ixis Magicks to grant her super speed while erasing her memory of their encounter, planting a post-hypnotic suggestion as a precaution for the future and then leaving her. Her father had died during the Great War, and her mother would be subjected to roboticization. Eggman's siege, hopeless and panic-stricken, following her mother's capture. The daughter of Arthur and Isabella Mongoose, Mina was discovered inside Robotropolis during Dr. Later on, her tank top became violet in the front with black straps, and a skirt (her shoes were green and violet, almost the same design) of matching design. Originally, Mina's outfit consisted of a midriff-baring black tank top, brown shorts, and green boots and gloves. Mina Mongoose, from Sonic the Hedgehog #221. She would later reveal to Sonic (and readers) of her power in Sonic the Hedgehog #98. The intended story following Mina's new-found super-speed would end up having to go on the back-burner for a few years The artist James Fry (who had been drawing various issues involving Mina Mongoose) had intended to grant Mina an 'X-men-onstage-puberty-awakened' hidden power, but the Sonic Adventure game adaptation (ordered by Sega in hopes of promoting their upcoming game) had taken all the time the writers needed to develop Mina's speed. Finally, Patrick Spaziante (a chief Sonic artist at Archie Comics) finished a design of a lilac-haired mongoose with yellow fur and large green eyes. He took the name, shortened it and it went from Minerva to Mina. So, Bollers decided to dedicate her name to his grandmother, Minerva. Writer Karl Bollers opted against it, however, since Chloe had the long 'e' sound at the end of the name and made her blend in with the rest of the females already established (ex: Amy, Sally, Rosie, Dulcy, Hershey, Julie-Su). The initial name that was proposed for her was Chloe. Because the new character was supposed to be fast, it was decided from the start that she be a mongoose (as real life mongooses are fast creatures). In order to make her a viable threat to Sally, Gabrie specified that the new character have something in common with Sonic that Sally didn't: speed. When considering the character's personality, former Sonic the Hedgehog editor Justin Freddy Gabrie wanted to conceive of a new potential love interest for Sonic to be introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog #76. Archie staff liked the design, and asked for it to be added to the comic. Prior to her introduction to the series, an early design for Mina lay unused in the Archie offices for some period of time (the original intention of the design is unknown).
