Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
That wasn't character development. She only acted like that in the episodes written by Ben Hurst and Pat Allee, and she wasn't written ad slowly developing into that persona.


* CharacterDevelopment: Initially Sonia was spoiled and prone to complaining whenever her appearance was tarnished. Later in the series, she becomes more of a leader figure, and is easily the most focused of the siblings.


Added DiffLines:

* DependingOnTheWriter: In episodes written by Ben Hurst and Pat Allee she becomes somewhat of a [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM Sally]] {{Expy}}, her flaws getting downplayed in favor of her acting more like an uptight [[StandardizedLeader leader figure]] with a perchance to scold Sonic (the actual leader) for his recklessness. Usually, Sonic is the sharpest and most levelheaded member of the trio.

SatAM!Robotnik was prone to slapstick and comedy too, particularly in the second season


* CompositeCharacter: Previous versions of Dr. Robotnik in Western media offered two radically different portrayals of the character: a humorous, [[LargeHam hammy]], and incompetent villain in ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''; and a cold-blooded, ruthless, [[KnightOfCerebus dead-serious]] tyrant in ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM''. This Robotnik seems to be an attempt to reconcile these two characterizations: His design is lifted straight from ''[=SatAM=]'', and he's depicted as a powerful, evil ruler; but at the same time is often prone to {{Slapstick}} and the occasional humorous comment that would not be out of place in ''[=AoStH=]''. He also once again has a BumblingHenchmenDuo by his side much like in ''[=AoStH=]'', something the ''[=SatAM=]'' version lacked.

There are also two episodes where she wears a bikini and a very brief scene in The Jewel of the Crown where she dances in a skimpy belly dancer outfit.
