Edge (also referred to as Rabbid Edge and Steward of Sparks) is a punk-like Rabbid who appears in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, as one of the main heroes from the game. She welds a large sword known as The Flying Blade, with two ear-like protrusions on the tip. Edge was once the leader of the Spark Hunters before rebelling against Cursa to save the Sparks and would eventually team up with Mario and the others.
History[]
Cursa's creation[]
Cursa created Edge to lead the Spark Hunters. As Cursa gave her an edge to give Edge the free will to lead, she eventually learned about Cursa's motive that leads to a "bottomless pit of misery". Seeing this, she tried to warn Bedrock, Midnite and Daphne about Cursa's motives but they turned on Edge. As a result, she chose to leave the Spark Hunters and save the Sparks by herself before the Spark Hunters captured them. Unbeknownst to Edge, Cursa created another Spark Hunter named Kanya to take her place, though Kanya is not satisfied with being Cursa's lackey and left to Melodic Garden and plans to overthrow Cursa and rule the galaxy with an iron fist herself.
Beacon Beach[]
Edge appears after the heroes were able to enter the Sunrise Temple, where she shushes Augie, who then sinks into the water in fear as she enters the temple. Later, when the Stooges were cornering an innocent Spark named Twinkle, one of them attempts to pounce on it, prompting Edge, who is still hidden to throw her Flying Blade to slay it before it got any closer and as it returns, she reaches out to grab it, to the surprise of both parties as Edge steps out of the waterfall while snickering ominously and gestures to Cursa's minions in a disapproving manner, provoking them into attacking her but proved futile when Edge singlehandedly strikes them down as the heroes watch, with Rabbid Mario instantly becoming enarmored as she takes out the last of the Stooges before turning to Twinkle, whom is terrified of her, worried on what she will do next. Edge smiles and sinks her sword into the floor and coaxes it into approaching her, though a Giant Wildclaw appears to them and fails to make the ever-confident Edge flinch, who ferally snarls in return. After defeating the creature, Beep-0 notifies her that they need Twinkle's help in reactivating the lighthouse and Augie arrives to congratulate them, but he becomes scared of Edge and calls her a Spark Hunter, though she corrects him and properly introduces herself and insists on simply by this name when Beep-0 calls her Rabbid Edge. She then notices that they have the WM ARC to travel the galaxy and takes up the offer to join them, seeing that they have found common ground. After the lighthouse is restored and the sun shining on Beacon Beach, Augie warns the heroes about the Spark Hunters and how they threatened to harm the civilians if he told anyone about them. JEANIE comments that they have enough Purified Darkmess Crystals to reach the snowy Pristine Peaks.
Pristine Peaks[]
Edge leans against the wall of the WM ARC as the team discusses Pristine Peaks where it is found to be suffering under a brutal blizzard and extremely low temperatures. As they head up the mountain to deal with the Darkmess Tentacle and destroying the source of the abnormal blizzard, the Rabbid team were making snowmen and Rabbid Mario made a large muscular snowman with himself as the head, clearly attempting to get Edge's attention, though Edge herself does not react and Rabbid Peach is unimpressed. Beep-0 notes that they should have a much easier time going through the Winter Palace now that the storm is over, though Edge tells him that the real storm has actually begun. After freeing the frozen Captain Orion, he explains the situation and he worries for a certain girl who is trapped somewhere in the palace. Upon entering, they are briefly greeted by Midnite whom Orion assumes to be the ghost of Winter Palace with Edge telling him that she is actually one of Cursa's Spark Hunters. After several more encounters, they reach the Darkmess Tentacle where they confront Midnite, who is surprised to see Edge in their ranks and despite having a friendly moment up until Edge shook her head that Midnite gets upset for a moment, as Edge tells her to release the girl as it is the smart way. Midnite notes that Edge made some new buddies and they themselves were friends once, which surprises Beep-0 but Edge immediately ends the topic. Midnite adds that friends don't ghost friends, but they stick around before she vanishes into the Darkmess Tentacle. They follow there and they find Rabbid Rosalina looking through books and Captain Orion's capture prompts her to fight back. After Midnite is defeated, Captain Orion and Rabbid Rosalina are free, and Edge stands up to Midnite with her sword in hand, but she lowers it to spare her life, which Midnite remorsefully leaves while Rabbid Rosalina joins upon learning that they are searching for the real Rosalina. They would then make their way to Palette Prime.
Palette Prime[]
Edge observes the meeting as they notice that the forest in Palette Prime has lost its color and life due to the presence of a Darkmess Tentacle, as Woodrow laments Palette Prime's condition. Once the Darkmess Tentacle in the forest is dealt with, they go through a tunnel from Woodrow's house and enter the town. They find the town in turmoil along with a major brawl between Bowser and Bedrock, another one of Cursa's Spark Hunters. Edge asks if Bowser is a friend of theirs while stating that that Bedrock is a Spark Hunter and denies having been a friend of hers as Beep-0 adds that Bowser isn't their friend as he was a longtime foe of Mario's and the rest. Bowser notices Mario briefly and glares at him before resuming focus while Bedrock becomes distracted upon noticing Edge smirking at her, allowing Bowser to take advantage of this and headbutt her, but he is soon tossed into the Darkmess Tentacle, prompting the team to help him by handing him the Bowzooka. After Bedrock is defeated, Daphne, another Spark Hunter, arrived to help her escape. Bowser joins the team due to having a huge chunk of his army being brainwashed by Cursa and wanted them back.
Terra Flora[]
As the team look to their next destination, being Terra Flora, they are within range of Cursa's stronghold that his currently blocked off against any attack. Edge's connection with the Spark Hunters have them concerned, which becomes apparent when Beep-0 asks if she knew a way to deal with the situation, since she knew Midnite and Bedrock and as he starts along with being more wary of her, it only angers Edge, who tells them that they would not want her business to be theirs. Beep-0 ends up backing off and focuses on landing on Terra Flora. They find it to be on the verge of drought because of the Darkmess Tentacle within Mt. Spout which was forced to go dormant. They have the train engineer named Sullivan help them reach the water volcano, though they were forced to contend with an angry Wiggler, with Edge initially staring at it with lack of amusement until Rabbid Mario jumps into her arms, surprising the Rabbid warrior as Sullivan speeds up the train to escape it and enters the Darkmess Tentacle. Wiggler soon catches up and attacks the train forcing the team to battle it. After defeating it, they managed to escape. After saving Terra Flora by destroying the Darkmess Tentacle, most of them including Edge are momentarily trapped inside of Bubbles, with Edge sharing one with Bowser, whom she glares at before they are free. They would later set the course for Barrendale Mesa to gain a Shield Breaker before they face Cursa.
Barrendale Mesa[]
When the heroes learn of a mechanic, called Momma, who can construct Shield Breakers that would be potent enough to destroy the barrier around Cursa's stronghold, Edge has a funny feeling that the most devious Spark Hunter is waiting for them as Beep-0 assumes they've given up since they haven't seen them around before taking notice on what Edge was saying. Edge quickly brushes him off and hopes to find Momma before anyone else can. Due to the electric storm, the team must jump off the ship as Beep-0 instructs. As the team jumps off, Bowser pushes Mario and Edge off the ship and jumps himself, and as the lighter members land on the balloon, Bowser ends up destroying it, which ends up annoying Momma, who is unable to work on anything in the garage due to the windmill suffering a malfunction. After saving the windmill from further damage, the storm calms and "Momma" sends a transmission to the heroes to return, which Edge noticed something off about her, but does not comment any further. Upon returning to the garage, they find out that Daphne had disguised herself and she quickly imprisons the heroes inside the Darkmess Dimension. Edge becomes enraged upon seeing her again and strategizes on how they must beat her. After Daphne is defeated, Cursa appears to them, only for Rosalina to break out temporarily from its control and creates a portal to help rescue them from the dimension before Cursa retakes control. Edge instructs Mario to escape, and the rest of the heroes escape safely. After learning about Rosalina's fate as well as how Cursa and the Sparks came to be and how these events have kickstarted the crisis, Momma assures the heroes that they have hope and that Rosalina is counting on them.
Melodic Gardens[]
In The Last Spark Hunter, as they make their way to Cursa's stronghold, they find that Melodic Gardens have gone silent, and they change course to investigate what was happening there. After saving the members, they meet with Allegra who is the warden of the planet, who explains that the silence is threatening Melodic Garden's existence and one of the Spark Hunters is responsible for its state, which left Edge confused as she states that they have defeated all of them. Upon meeting Kanya, Edge states that she does not know who she is at all. Sometime later, after getting past all the obstacles, Edge and the heroes look on in sympathy as Allegra is comforting a Dorrie who is trapped in a cage, who is a special friend. They help Allegra free Dorrie and work with her to defeat Kanya once and for all. Allegra is grateful for their work and restored harmony to the planet. They leave to Cursa's stronghold.
Cursa's Stronghold[]
After using the Shield Breakers to destroy the barrier, they land on the debris and find two Darkmess Puddles containing Darkmess Bowser and later Darkmess Edge, the latter that had the Beep-0 and JEANIE alarmed and Edge becomes determined beyond any range of reason as she declares that Cursa doesn't know what she's made of. After defeating her Darkmess clone, Edge can no longer hide her history and admits that she was created by Cursa and in a further reveal, she was their leader and she adds that she saw through how ruthless Cursa was and tried to reform Midnite, Bedrock, and Daphne, but they instead betrayed her to remain loyal to their creator, which was the last resort as Edge left to save the Sparks before they got a hold of them. After telling her story, she adds that she never told them about her origins because she was afraid that they would stop trusting her. Beep-0, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Luigi, and Rabbid Mario comfort her that they have more than enough reasons to believe her with JEANIE telling her that she is a part of their family now and she does not have to keep secrets from them anymore, which Edge becomes grateful before turning their attention to their enemy. As they battle Cursa, Edge and the team all have managed to destroy its hands and attacked the broken star on its front to free the drained Sparks as well as Rosalina, who partakes in the final half of the battle. Once Cursa is weakened, Rabbid Rosalina goes to the front in order to protect Edge and her friends from Cursa as it makes one last effort to destroy them, only for the drained Sparks to use a giant wand to become a beam of energy to cripple Cursa further as the heroes fire their weapons at Cursa with Rosalina merging them into a single arrow which results in Cursa being completely obliterated.
Mushroom Kingdom (Epilogue)[]
Back at the Mushroom Kingdom, Rosalina thanks the heroes for saving her and the galaxy and offers Rabbid Rosalina and Edge a chance to join her on the Comet Observatory, though they both chose to stay with their friends whom they consider their family and Edge adds that her old pals may seek a new profession now that Cursa is vanquished and sticks with her new friends to help keep them in line. She watches on as the Rabbid counterparts of Mario, Luigi, and Peach tease Bowser to the point of provocation and breathes fire in retaliation as Edge looks on.
The Tower of Doooom[]
When it was revealed that Spawny, one of the heroes' old friends was imprisoned in a place that belongs to Madame Bwahstrella, called The Tower of Doooom, Edge and her friends head through ten floors and after defeating the giant enemy on the tenth floor Spawny is freed and has gained the confidence to go on his own, knowing that his friends will have his back in his time of need.
Rayman in the Phantom Show[]
Edge makes a small cameo appearance at the end of the staff roll where she sees Rabbid Mario showing off a gift that Rayman gave him and Rabbid Peach, which happens to be a hoodie.
Appearance[]
Edge appears to be a rabbit-like creature, and unlike most Rabbids, she has smaller ears, several sharp-teeth, and the interiors of her mouth is orange and her tongue being a lighter shade. She has spiky black hair that is dyed partially green at the bottom, she also has green eyebrows. She also has blue eyes, accompanied by magenta-purple eyeshadow and sharp eyelashes. She wears a leather jacket with a purple shirt underneath, along with fingerless gloves and black/green boots.
Personality[]
Unlike most Rabbids, Edge is calm, mature, and more intelligent. She does not go along with most of her fellow Rabbids antics, preferring to watch or chill instead of joining in. Even though Edge doesn't talk or show much emotion, but she does show to be quite cocky and confident, especially during battle and when she confronted her former teammates, who were Midnite, Bedrock, and Daphne.
She also knows the difference between what's right and wrong being she saw Cursa for what she really is even though she was created by Cursa herself forcing her to split when her old pals turned against her, remaining loyal to Cursa.
Despite her intimidating nature, she does have a soft side for others, such as Sparks, evident when she saved Twinkle at Beacon Beach and defeated the corrupted Rabbids with no issue. When Twinkle was scared of her, she smiled and put down her sword showing she was no threat. After the defeat of Midnite at the Winter Palace, instead of killing her, Edge simply put her sword down and just let Midnite go, showing she does have a sense of mercy for her former partners.
When Beep-O asked if she was hiding something since, she knew Midnite and Bedrock, Edge turned very defensive, a clue that she doesn't like it when people ask about her business or that she doesn't like people prying into her past before she came clean and explained she was created by Cursa and was given intelligence to learn what Cursa really was.
She also doesn't seem interested in having a relationship, with Rabbid Mario attempting to get her interested in him only to get blank stares or an eye roll from her.
