The latest episode of Tailstube rang in the new year with its usual mix of humor and exciting teasers. While the majority of the episode saw Tails trying to contact his friends, only to be hilariously interrupted by Sonic, fans were given an unexpected treat—a big reveal about the mysterious “pink-haired lady” who has been the subject of fan theories since her first appearance.
Now officially named Professor Victoria, she is revealed to be the author of The Mystery of History. This introduction suggests she plays a pivotal role in Sonic’s lore, potentially as a historian or archaeologist uncovering hidden truths from the past. Although her full backstory is still a mystery, her academic title and focus on historical matters hint at a character deeply connected to the untold stories of the Sonic universe.
Professor Victoria’s first appearance was in the debut episode of Tailstube, and her only other known appearance was a cameo on a billboard in Shibuya in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Prior to this episode, fans speculated she could be the mysterious “T” who helped GUN secure Professor Gerald Robotnik’s journal, a plot point tied closely to Sonic Adventure 2. Her Japanese name, “Tori,” is a diminutive of Victoria, which deepens the intrigue surrounding her potential ties to Sonic’s established lore.
Another popular theory circulating among fans suggests she might be related to the Robotnik family. Could she be Maria Robotnik’s younger sister, or perhaps another family member? While no confirmation has been given, the idea fuels excitement about her possible connection to one of the franchise’s most iconic families.
In addition to Professor Victoria’s reveal, observant fans noticed the silhouettes of Tangle the Lemur and Big the Cat in the background of Amy’s party scene, sparking further speculation about their potential appearances in upcoming Sonic media.
With Professor Victoria’s mysterious introduction, the Sonic universe continues to expand, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more answers. As we head into 2025, it seems that her role in the lore could become more prominent, offering fresh twists to the ever-growing Sonic narrative.
