Edge

"NOT a Spark Hunter. Name's Edge."

- Edge

Edge (also referred to as Rabbid Edge) is a punk goth-themed Rabbid character that appears in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Unlike the other playable Rabbids, she is not based on a character from the Mario franchise, instead possessing spiky black and green hair and wearing a jacket, along with black fingerless gloves and black and green boots. She wields the Flying Blade, a large sword with two rabbit ear-like protrusions on the tip of the blade. Her Stormblade technique will damage any enemy that moves, similar to Hero Sight and Steely Stare. She can also dash multiple enemies in one turn.

She was later revealed to be the former leader of the Spark Hunters and had been created by Cursa, before she turned against them, as she had enough free will to go on her own. However, her comrades end up turning on her as they remained loyal to Cursa.

Appearance
Edge is a female Rabbid who looks vastly different from most other Rabbids. She has spiky black and green hair with green "eyebrows". Edge's eyes have purple/pink eyeshadow, with a pointed eyelash for each eye. Her eyes are light blue, with black pupils. Edge's mouth does not have the pink around it unlike other normal Rabbids, and she has pointy teeth. Edge wears a ripped purple shirt with a black jacket over it, unzipped. On her hands, Edge wears black fingerless gloves. On her feet, Edge wears black boots with a green line around the top, with a triangle shape being formed in front. Edge's clothing and personality strongly indicate that she is a tough, punk/goth themed Rabbid. Edge is also slightly taller than most other Rabbids.

Background
Edge was created by Cursa as the leader of the Spark Hunters, and thus received free will of thinking, allowing her to lead the other Spark Hunters. Using that free will, Edge was able to see the evil inside of Cursa, and about her plan, and thus betrayed Cursa. Edge then tried to change the Spark Hunters for the better, but they turned against Edge, and remained loyal to Cursa. Edge then left, and traveled throughout the galaxy to save as many Sparks as she could.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
When the heroes enter the Sunrise Temple on Beacon Beach in order to save Twinkle, Edge sees the group enter, and stealthily follows them inside, much to the worry of Augie. When the heroes find Twinkle surrounded by Stooges, Edge arrives just in time to decimate them, much to the surprise of the other heroes. She then gains Twinkle's trust by showing it mercy, however the Giant Wildclaw arrives, and the heroes and Edge fight against it together.

After the Giant Wildclaw is defeated, Beep-0 tells Edge that they need Twinkle in order to enter the lighthouse to stop the Darkmess Tentacle. Augie arrives to congratulate the heroes, but upon seeing Edge, he gets scared, calling her a Spark Hunter in the process. Edge corrects him, and joins the heroes on their adventure.

When the heroes notice that Edge has history with the Spark Hunters, they begin to show concern. Before arriving at Terra Flora, JEANIE tells the heroes that Cursa's stronghold has a barrier around it, causing Beep-0 to ask Edge if she knows a way, telling her that she knew Midnite and Bedrock, and is suspicious about her. Edge gets angry and tells him that they do not want any of her business to become theirs.

Before arriving in Barrendale Mesa, Edge tells the group that she knows that the most devious Spark Hunter is there, and that they better find Momma before she does. When Daphne captures Momma, Edge becomes angry with her and tells the heroes to be cautious.

At Cursa's stronghold, a Darkmess copy of Edge is fought, known as Darkmess Edge. The group becomes worried, but Edge declares that Cursa does not know her at all. After the battle, Edge confesses that she was created by Cursa, and that she was formerly the leader of the Spark Hunters. She did not tell the others because she thought that they would not have a reason to believe her, but the group has many reasons, with JEANIE even declaring that Edge is part of their family. Edge thanks everyone, and they head out to stop Cursa.

After Cursa is defeated and Rosalina is saved, Rosalina questions Edge for what she will do next. Edge replies that the Spark Hunters are still alive, and with Cursa gone, they will have to find a new profession, and Edge decides to stay with the heroes.

Memory bio
EDGE I will confess to having monitored Edge, for the simple reason that she is an enigma, making it difficult to know if she can be trusted fully.

What IS known, is that she is a skilled fighter, wielding her flying sword as if it were a part of her.

''I do trust her, though I cannot explain why. Is it instinct? Wishful thinking? Hope? Perhaps it is all three, for what really is the difference?''
