Belle the Tinkerer is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by IDW Publishing. She is a free-willed and kind-hearted Badnik created by Dr. Eggman when he had amnesia and was known as "Mr. Tinker". Belle is based on a female anthropomorphic animal from Sonic's world. Unlike normal Badniks, Belle's casing is made entirely of wood.
