Lady Windimere was a kindly aristocrat in Sonic Underground. She looks slightly like a dog. When Sonia's mother, Queen Aleena, was dethroned by the Dr. Robotnik of the Sonic Underground dimension, she left Princess Sonia's basket on Lady Windimere's doorstep. She raised Sonia like a daughter, spoiling her, bringing her up with stately manners and introducing her into high society, resulting in Sonia making contacts among the upper class who feared and resented Robotnik's reign.
