Mayor Chestnut is a character that appears in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. He is an anthropomorphic squirrel and the mayor of Tranquil Gulch.

Appearance

Mayor Chestnut is a vaguely humanoid squirrel about Sonic's size and with a slightly large head. He has predominantly grey fur with a khaki underbelly and muzzle, and he has large buck teeth, medium-sized eyebrows and black eyes. As attire, he wears a large blue top hat, white chuffs around his wrists and a white collar around his neck.

History

When seeing Sonic get Six Gun Pete out of Tranquil Gulch, Mayor Chestnut offered him to become the town's new sheriff, but was disgruntled when Sonic refused. However, when Sonic was convinced to act as the town's sheriff until a replacement could be found, Mayor Chestnut gladly announced him as their new sheriff.^[1]

Mayor Chestnut later saw Sonic's gunmanship, but when Sonic's poor skills caused considerable collateral damage (and knocked Mayor Chestnut into a mudpit), he began to have his doubts about making Sonic sheriff. His doubts were eased, however, as he witnessed Sonic successfully deal with various threats to the town from Dr. Robotnik, even coming to inform Sonic when Miss Possum was kidnapped by Scratch and Grounder. When Sonic finally resigned as sheriff when his job seemed done, Mayor Chestnut worried who would be the town's sheriff, but as Sonic gave that job to Miss Possum, Mayor Chestnut gladly accepted her as their new sheriff.^[1]

Personality

Mayor Chestnut is friendly, but does not like to hear people refusing him as he was visually upset when Sonic declined his offer to become their sheriff. He is also a bit cynical as he started to doubt Sonic when seeing his poor gunmanship, but he changed his mind as he saw Sonic using his other skills to defend the town.

Trivia

• Oddly enough, in the Sonic Says segment of "Zoobotnik", he acts like a regular squirrel despite being an anthropomorphic animal and has an ability to speak. It is most likely they just reused the character model from that segment and not intended to be the same character.
