==Appearance ==
Blaze is a purple cat with a white muzzle, small nose, yellow eyes, a ponytail and a red gem on her forehead. She wears a purple dress with white pants, ruby shoes with a white streak, white gloves and fuzzy wrists and socks.
==Obtaining Method ==
=== Hill Top Adventure ===
Blaze can be unlocked in Hill Top Zone, after completing all 5 tasks of the Hill Top Adventure quests.
=== Blaze the Cat Event ===
She could previously be unlocked after completing all 5 tasks during the Blaze the Cat Event, which was located in Hill Top Zone.
==Trivia ==
* Blaze has four skins.
* Blaze is the first skin in the game to have a designated animation for when they are boosting.
* Blaze was originally teased in a short gameplay video on September 21, 2023, along with Hill Top Zone. Two days before her release.
* Her render is similar to Nibroc.Rock's Legacy Blaze render from 2016.
* Her menu pose is a reference to a common 2D Stock Artwork of her.
* Her spawn animation is a reference to a Sonic Channel artwork of her from November 2020.
* The first part of her idle animation is a reference to her Sonic Rush idle, albeit less exaggerated. Where she shakes her head is likely a reference to one of the cutscenes from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). The last part of her idle where she stretches is a reference to one of her idles in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
* Her walk, jog, running and falling animations are all taken from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
* Her boost animation is a reference to her run in Sonic Rush.
* The way she spindashes and spins is a reference to Sonic Rush. However the spin animation itself is a reference to her double jump from Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
* She has flame effects when spinning, spindashing and boosting, referencing her pyrokinetic abilities and the similar effects on her in Sonic Rush and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).
* Her hoverboard animation is similar to the way Sonic rail grinds in the recent mainline Sonic games, starting from Sonic Forces.
