History Sandbox / SonicTheHedgehogRecurringCharacters

* TimeyWimeyBall: Silver's BadFuture doesn't exist, yet somehow he does. In his appearances, something affects the past from an outside source in history (Eggman Nega machinations, Eggman finding the Phantom Ruby, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Dodonpa sending him an invitation for a racing contest]]), creating a BadFuture he has to correct.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: Tends to be cold and aloof towards strangers due to shyness, but once she [[JustForPun warms up]] to someone, she shows a [[DefrostingIceQueen caring, albeit awkward and brusque]], side to her.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: In ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'', when introducing Amy and Knuckles, who she calls "short-sighted" and "not very bright" respectively, to Blaze.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Gemerl, despite living with Cream and her mother, hasn't made an appearance in the franchise since his debut in ''[[VideoGame/SonicAdvanceTrilogy Sonic Advance 3]]''. He doesn't get mentioned nor appears when Blaze visits Cream's house in ''[[Videogame/SonicRushSeries Sonic Rush]]'', and in ''Videogame/SonicChroniclesTheDarkBrotherhood'' he is referenced as '''Emerl''', but otherwise doesn't get acknowledged even if Cream is recruited by the player.

->'''Debut''': ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}''

* AntiHero: Starts out as an antisocial loner. She [[CharacterDevelopment evolves]] into more of a pure hero over the course of ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'' with Cream's influence.

* BeneathTheMask: She comes across as [[CloserToEarth level-headed]] and [[TheStoic reserved]], but is far more emotional and insecure than she lets on, though these traits do come to surface from time to time in [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries some]] [[VideoGame/SonicColors games]].

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of the ''VideoGame/SonicRushSeries''. Her and Sonic are the only playable characters in the series.

* FriendlessBackground: In the ''VideoGame/SonicRushSeries''; in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', however, she was Silver's childhood friend.

* HeldGaze: Can be seen doing this with Sonic a couple of times, first in ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'' and then later as Percival in ''Sonic and the Black Knight''.

* NoSocialSkills: In ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'', the other characters' overt friendliness clearly confused her, and she is known to be direct and blunt in her approach. She has since improved, though she is still somewhat brusque.

** Before and during ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}''; she was honestly surprised when Cream pointed out that she was smiling.

* TheRival: Blaze was a bit of a rival to Sonic during the first half of ''[[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Sonic Rush]]''. This element of hers is long ignored afterwards, though.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: As shown in both ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'' titles, she has acrophobia. [[LogicalWeakness It makes sense]] when you consider that cats are usually afraid of heights in real life, yet it conflicts with her acrobatic prowess during gameplay.

* WomenAreWiser: Albeit DependingOnTheWriter. In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' and ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'', she is much more composed and "normal" acting than her other team members. In titles such as the ''VideoGame/SonicRushSeries'', however, she is a [[LargeHam hammy]] Grumpy Bear.

* CastHerd: Averted. Compared with the other teams in ''Heroes'', the trio aren't as united. Amy has been an independent character since her debut, and is mostly seen without her team; Cream debuted independently in ''Advanced 2'', and is usually seen with Amy afterwards or with Blaze; Big only appeared with Amy in ''Heroes'', ''Chronicles'', and ''Team Sonic Racing''. It doesn't help that compared with the others, their union happened off-screen despite Amy never interacting with Cream or Big in their debut games.

->'''Debut as a character''': ''VideoGame/SonicAdvance2''

* ActionGirl: She can sometimes be one, as shown in ''VideoGame/SonicAdvance2'' and ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''.

Emerl only appears in ''VideoGame/SonicBattle'', but has been referred to since. ''VideoGame/SonicAdvance 3'' has Robotnik build his own Gizoid, '''Gemerl''', that can merge with machines. It's stated that Gemerl was created from the remains of Emerl.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Gemerl, despite living with Cream and her mother, hasn't made an appearance in the franchise since his debut in ''[[Videogame/SonicAdvanceSeries Sonic Advance 3]]''. He doesn't get mentioned nor appears when Blaze visits Cream's house in ''[[Videogame/SonicRushSeries Sonic Rush]]'', and in ''Videogame/SonicChroniclesTheDarkBrotherhood'' he is referenced as '''Emerl''', but otherwise doesn't get acknowledged even if Cream is recruited by the player.

* MakeMeWannaShout: One of Vector's {{Breath Weapon}}s.

* MakeMeWannaShout: The basis of her "Shot" attack in ''Sonic Battle'', complete with a sound clip of a vaguely bat-like screech that plays whenever she fires it.

* BoobsOfSteel: She has the largest bust out of the ''Sonic'' girls, and also happens to be one of the strongest female characters in the games, being a highly-skilled government spy, an expert burglar, and a martial artist.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: At least, in ''Sonic Adventure 2''. In later entries, she was given blue shoes - even for the scenes ''[=SA2=]'' had already established her outfit for.

->'''Voiced by''': Etsuko Kozakura (Japanese), Creator/LaniMinella (English, 2001-2004), Liza Jacqueline (English, ''VideoGame/SonicRiders''), Rebecca Honig (English, ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Secret Rings]]''), Creator/LauraBailey (English, 2010-2016), Creator/EricaLindbeck (English, 2019-present), Delphine Braillon (French)

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Shadow and Silver have similar abilities, personality traits, and chest fur. ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic And The Black Knight]]'' has Shadow as Lancelot and Silver as Lancelot's son Galahad. They get a special winning animation in the ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames Sochi Olympic]]'' Games, too, which is intended for characters with some kind of relationship. There's a lot of father-son feeling in theirs, with Silver trying to copy Shadow and look tough, when most of his winning poses have him floating around like a kid. Despite this, WordOfGod is that the two aren't related.

[[/folder]]

* BadassBaritone: In English, Espio sports one of the deepest voices among his peers despite only being 16 (compare this to similarly-aged characters or even Vector, who is four years Espio's senior). Coupled with his lack of eccentricities, this only serves to make Espio come across as even more serious. He's more of a tenor in Japanese.

* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit in ''Sonic Riders'' and ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'', as well as her alternate outfit in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2''. Curiously, they seem to flip-flop on [[InvisibleAnatomy whether or not she has a navel.]]

* BareYourMidriff: In ''VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames''.

* TokenWholesome: Out of the anthro cast (especially the females), Blaze tends to cover the most fur, barring ''VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames'' (where she [[BareYourMidriff bares her midriff]]).

* TheChick: She's a little less serious on missions than her teammates but when the chips are down, she'll always make sure their morale is up.

* TheChick: One of the most innocent and passive characters in the cast. While she can fight if need be, she prefers to stay on the sidelines.

* BuxomIsBetter: She's consistently treated as the most attractive character in the cast, and has the largest bust by far.

* {{Fanservice}}: She exists specifically for this trope, what with her overtly flirty attitude, [[BuxomIsBetter large bust]], [[HartmanHips wide hips]], and [[SensualSpandex tight]], [[ImpossiblyLowNeckline low-cut]], [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless]] outfit. Her unlockable outfits in ''Videogame/SonicAdventure2'' cement this further, with at least one of them being [[http://archive.is/DXaia outright fetish-wear]] that bumped up the game's rating when it was discovered.

* {{Gainaxing}}: In ''Sonic Adventure 2'', Sonic Team made extremely liberal use of JigglePhysics when designing Rouge, to the point where her bust bounced [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g39NeeU2IzE pretty much]] [[http://archive.is/q3dEj constantly.]] It's been toned down significantly since then, but it still exists in [[http://archive.is/HQRpF much subdued form]].

* ShesGotLegs: And she knows how to use 'em too, what with [[KickChick attacking with her feet]] and digging with her shoes.

* CoolPet: Cheese usually does most of the attacking for Cream.

* WaveMotionGun: Combines this with EverythingsBetterWithSpinning during Team Dark's [[LimitBreak Team Blast]] in ''[[VideoGame/SonicHeroes Heroes]]''.

* {{Shopkeeper}}: Runs the Extreme Gear Shop in ''VideoGame/SonicRiders'' and the Skill Shop in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations''.

* WomenAreWiser: Albeit DependingOnTheWriter. In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' and ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'', she is much more composed and "normal" acting than her other team members. In titles such as the ''VideoGame/SonicRushSeries'', however, she is a [[LargeHam hammy]] GrumpyBear.

* GrumpyBear: In ''Sonic Rush'' series. [[DefrostingIceQueen Toned down later on]], but still shows up from time to time, DependingOnTheWriter.

* IllGirl: She had Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome, which motivated her grandfather into finding a cure via his Project Shadow research.

* TookALevelInJerkass: While Shadow and Rouge aren't the most pleasant people to talk to, ''VideoGame/SonicFreeRiders'' takes their antagonistic tendencies UpToEleven. Shadow's ego and Rouge's greed are inflated to the point of {{Flanderization}} and they treat everyone around them like dirt. And that's not even going into the horribly apathetic way they treat E-10000B, working the poor robot to the point where his circuits are overheating from exhaustion (a stark contrast to their treatment of Omega). The other teams are outright disgusted at their behavior and Cream in particular ''begs'' them to get E-10000B fixed, which falls on deaf ears.

* DudeMagnet: Both Shadow and Knuckles have a thing for her, and a mini-game in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' shows that she's ''so sexy'' that even [[InterspeciesRomance Eggman's robots fall for her.]] Adaptations exaggerate this [[UpToEleven quite a bit]].

* {{Gainaxing}}: In ''Sonic Adventure 2'', Sonic Team made [[UpToEleven extremely liberal]] use of JigglePhysics when designing Rouge, to the point where her bust bounced [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g39NeeU2IzE pretty much]] [[http://archive.is/q3dEj constantly.]] It's been toned down significantly since then, but it still exists in [[http://archive.is/HQRpF much subdued form]].

* InstantExpert: Just like Sonic, he learnt Chaos Control in ''Sonic 06'' by watching Shadow do it. [[UpToEleven He learns it even quicker than Sonic does with even less information about what Shadow was doing.]]

* StaticCharacter: Unlike Teams Sonic, Dark, or even Rose, the Chaotix remain the same personality wise no matter what's happening around them. This isn't a bad thing however, this is what makes them well received in Sonic games.

* TheRival: Her relationship with Knuckles skits between this and FoeYay. She and Amy aren't on particularly good terms either.

[[folder:Blaze the Cat]]
[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blaze_7.png]]

-->''"I am the guardian of the Sol Emeralds. It is a fate that forces me to live with my curse, my flames... Because of my powers, I have always been alone... It's also why I must do this alone! It is my responsibility!"''

->'''Debut''': ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}''
->'''Voiced by''': Creator/NaoTakamori (Japanese); Creator/EricaSchroeder (English, 2005-2010), Creator/LauraBailey (English, 2010-2016), Creator/EricaLindbeck (English, 2019-present); Delphine Braillon (French, 2011-present)


A pyrokinetic cat from the Sol Dimension, and guardian of the Sol Emeralds. Blaze initially ended up in Sonic's world due to both of their worlds being on the verge of merging and breaking apart due to her own dimension's equivalent to Dr. Eggman, Eggman Nega. Blaze initially didn't care much for teamwork and preferred to solve her problems without anyone's aid, but thanks to bonding with Cream and Sonic reaching out to her, she eventually grew to embrace her friends and together with Sonic, stopped the two Eggmen. Afterward, she returned to her own dimension, but she does make occasional appearances now and then.

Blaze is a very introverted person; she doesn't socialize much, and even after growing fond of her friends, she generally dislikes having to rely on others. But this is just a facade to hide a very shy individual, as Blaze often gets flustered when she's forced to interact with new people. When Blaze is on duty, though, she's far more strait-laced and focused on her task. She's also rather temperamental and reckless when her buttons are pressed.

* AffirmativeActionGirl: The second one after Rouge, but notably she's the first female character to explicitly be TheHero's equal in combat, something only Knuckles and Shadow were really noticeable for before that (and it doesn't get much more affirmative than that!). She's also the only female character to have a SuperMode of her own.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She was shunned and made fun of her pyrokinetic powers. Though, this may not be true for ''Rush'' Blaze. She never says that anyone mistreated her because of her powers, only that she was alone because of them and having to guard the Sol Emeralds. During ''Rush''[='=]s ending, she reflects on what she's learned, and realizes that her duties and insistence on doing things alone caused her to shut others out. Furthermore, no one in ''Rush Adventure'', which takes place in her dimension, seems to have a problem with Blaze or her pyrokinesis, and Setter, a koala, is even honored to have her grace his home with her presence.
* AlternateDimension: In the ''Rush'' series, she is from an alternate world, but can travel to Sonic's by harnessing the power of the Sol Emeralds.
* AntiHero: Starts out as an antisocial loner. She [[CharacterDevelopment evolves]] into more of a pure hero over the course of ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'' with Cream's influence.
* ApocalypseMaiden: She possibly implied she's one in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', as she states that [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Crisis]] [[LethalLavaLand City]] was ''her'' fault. Whether it's due to her own power, Solaris's power she possesses, or releasing Iblis isn't clear like a lot of details regarding 06.
* BadassBookworm: She's quite knowledgeable on the geography and history of her world, and even knows how to read the language of an ancient civilization. A Sonic Channel wallpaper also shows reading to be a hobby of hers.
* BareYourMidriff: In ''VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames''.
* BarrierMaiden: She becomes Iblis's new [[SealedEvilInACan can]] at the end of Silver's story in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006''.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: This is why she's so protective of Cream at the end of ''Sonic Rush''.
* BeneathTheMask: She comes across as [[CloserToEarth level-headed]] and [[TheStoic reserved]], but is far more emotional and insecure than she lets on, though these traits do come to surface from time to time in [[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries some]] [[VideoGame/SonicColors games]].
* BerserkButton: Teasing her about her small bust size is a sure-fire way to anger her, [[InformedAttribute supposedly.]]
* BeYourself: One of the lessons she learns from Sonic in ''Rush''.
-->'''Sonic:''' Listen, don't bite off more than you can chew. And be yourself. You don't need to do everything on your own.
* BrutalHonesty: When [[BrattyHalfPint Marine]] proves to be too much of a nuisance, Blaze proceeds to tell it to her face.
* BullyingADragon: When she was younger, she had trouble controlling her powers, and other kids teased her for it.
* BurningWithAnger: Does this when she gets mad at times. Sometimes PlayedForLaughs, other times not.
* CatsAreMean: Mostly averted. While standoffish at first, at her core Blaze is a goodhearted person.
* CatsAreSnarkers: An anthropomorphic cat who, while generally serious, does have quite the dry wit to her.
* CharacterDevelopment: For most of ''Rush'', she was very shy, and set on doing things alone. By ''Rush Adventure'', due to the influence of Sonic and his friends in the previous game, she's become much more sociable and willing to work with others.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: While she showed shades of it in the ''Rush'' games, in spin-offs such as the ''Riders'' and ''Olympics'' series, Blaze is shown to have become far more confident. Nearly all of her lines involve her bragging about how awesome she is, and she doesn't take losing well... Not unlike Sonic, one of the main influences behind her CharacterDevelopment.
* CoolBigSis: Has played this role towards Silver (despite being the same age), Cream, and it's implied she may have become one to Marine.
* CombatStilettos: And no, they do nothing to slow her down or mess with her agility.
* TheComicallySerious: Her poor social skills (and being [[SurroundedByIdiots the one serious-minded member of the team]]) lean her into this, DependingOnTheWriter at least.
* CompassionateCritic: It's implied that she only berated Marine as harshly as she did so that she wouldn't follow them into danger and get herself hurt. The cutscene where it happens is even titled ''CruelToBeKind''.
* CurbStompBattle: In ''Rush'', she takes Knuckles down without breaking a sweat.
* CursedWithAwesome: Before she and Sonic became friends, she hated her powers, as they brought her nothing but loneliness and misery.
* CrushBlush: Caliburn telling them to "save the hugs and kisses for later" after Sonic saved her from falling caused Percival to blush.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly in ''Sonic Rush'', she has a tendency to make sarcastic remarks. In ''Adventure'' she's generally more polite, but still lets them slip every so often.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: They knew they weren't enemies, and only ended up fighting because Blaze was too stubborn to accept Sonic's help. Nonetheless, they become friends after duking it out.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Ironically, given her fire powers, Blaze lacks the expected HotBlooded temper and is instead cold and distant to everyone. Her interaction with Cream makes her much more sociable on the long run, and by the end of her first game she openly considers Sonic and Tails her friends.
* {{Determinator}}: A bit too much for her own good at first. She's extremely dedicated to her duties, and will stop at nothing to protect the Sol Emeralds. Even Sonic tells her that he admires her fortitude.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Of the ''VideoGame/SonicRushSeries''. Her and Sonic are the only playable characters in the series.
* DidYouGetANewHaircut: Upon being saved by Classic Sonic in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', she points out that he's not as spiky as the Sonic she knows.
-->'''Blaze''': I wish I hadn't needed your help, Sonic, but thank you. By the way, you seem look less... spiky!
* DimensionalTraveler: In her [[http://sonic.sega.jp/SonicChannel/character/blaze.html Japanese profile on Sonic Channel]], it is mentioned that she can manipulate the Sol Emeralds to travel through time and space into Sonic's world and presumably return to her own world as long as she retains control over the Sol Emeralds.
* DontCallMeSir:
** Hates it when Guardon calls her Your Highness, and frequently corrects him.
** She's called "Miss Blaze" in [[VideoGame/MarioandSonicAtTheOlympicGames London Party]], suggesting she also doesn't like to be called "Princess".
* FatalFlaw: Her aloofness made it difficult for her to cooperate with Sonic initially, and at one point halted progress after starting a fight with him. It also made her rather cold-natured towards Marine. CharacterDevelopment has toned this down to some degree.
* FateDrivesUsTogether: Seems to suggest this to Sonic at the end of ''Sonic Rush Adventure''.
-->'''Blaze:''' Do you think that maybe you were brought here for a reason?\\
'''Sonic:''' Brought here? By who?\\
'''Blaze:''' (smiling) By the Emeralds.\\
'''Sonic:''' (pauses, looking confused, then smiles) Heh, well, you never know.
* FieryStoic: Not only has fiery powers, but is also a cold, aloof loner who keeps her emotions boiled up. Introverted or not, it's not a good idea to [[BerserkButton make her angry]].
* {{Flight}}: Is capable of hovering by conjuring small jet-like flames under her feet. Her [[SuperMode Burning Blaze]] form can fly at high speed, courtesy of the power imbued by the Sol Emeralds.
* FlatCharacter: Blaze's incarnation in ''06'' has very little in the terms of character. She is Silver's older sister figure, and gives him the words about the Chaos Emeralds's power to move forward in his quest, but she herself has none of the flaws nor focus her ''Rush'' self had.
* AFriendInNeed: Despite her antagonistic nature at first, everyone nonetheless tried to reach out to her and offer her friendship. It takes the entirety of ''VideoGame/SonicRush'' for her to accept.
* FriendlessBackground: In the ''VideoGame/SonicRushSeries''; in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', however, she was Silver's childhood friend.
* FurryFemaleMane: Her mane, like Shadow's, extends from her lower neck down to her chest.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Her fear of heights doesn't stop her from being incredibly acrobatic during gameplay.
* GoodIsNotNice: A mild example (cold, detached loner) at first. Gets better with CharacterDevelopment.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: A purple cat and one of the more elegant, regal characters in the franchise.
* GrumpyBear: In ''Sonic Rush'' series. [[DefrostingIceQueen Toned down later on]], but still shows up from time to time, DependingOnTheWriter.
* HeldGaze: Can be seen doing this with Sonic a couple of times, first in ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'' and then later as Percival in ''Sonic and the Black Knight''.
* HeroicLineage: The Jeweled Scepter, and presumably the Sol Emeralds as well, have been guarded by Blaze's royal family for generations.
* HeroicSacrifice: In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', she [[spoiler:becomes Iblis's vessel and seals herself in another dimension, possibly dying in the procces.]]
* HoldingHands: With Sonic at the end of ''VideoGame/SonicRush''. They don't let go of each other until their dimensions tear them apart.
* HurricaneKick: In the boss defeat cutscenes in ''Sonic Rush'', Blaze uses her "Axel Jump" to gain momentum and kick Eggman into the distance.
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pRmZInUsKA Vela Nova]] is presented as her theme as of ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'', although aside from the periodic "step by step," the song has no lyrics. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ9YUyBkoYg Raisin' Me Up]], which is from her point of view towards Sonic, is a better example.
* IneffectualLoner: At first. She's still a bit of a loner after her CharacterDevelopment, but accepts help from others far more easily.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex:
** Rather aloof and a bit above it all, but [[ShrinkingViolet socially awkward and insecure]].
** She also becomes ''very'' defensive and snappy when Silver claims that he could have taken the robots out without her in ''VideoGame/SonicColors'', immediately claiming that she could have taken them out without him as well.
* InformedAbility: We see less of her guarding the Sol Emeralds and more of her hopping over to Sonic's dimension to have fun. Although her [[http://sonic.sega.jp/SonicChannel/character/blaze.html Japanese profile on Sonic Channel]] mentions that she needs the [[InterdimensionalTravelDevice Sol Emeralds]] to even travel to Sonic's dimension in the first place.
* InformedAttribute:
** WordOfGod has said that she wears her purple tailcoat to hide the fact that her body can control flames, which [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer she used to be]] [[BullyingADragon bullied for]], hinting that [[InformedDeformity her body may be scarred or otherwise affected]] by her powers; however, she will take it off in a pinch where [[PowerLimiter she has to use her powers]]. So far, this has not been seen in any game she has appeared in.
** Blaze supposedly is insecure about her bust size. Needless to say, that's possibly a topic that will never be mentioned.
* InterdimensionalTravelDevice: The Sol Emeralds she carries allow her to travel between dimensions. ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' implies that Blaze visits Sonic's dimension often.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: She bonds with Cream in her first game despite being much older than her. While her relationship with the also childish Marine is rocky at first, they both grow very close by the end of ''Rush Adventure''.
* IronicFear: She's an agile feline who can jump high and pull amazing aerial stunts, and can even outright ''[[{{Flight}} fly]]'', but she's terrified of heights. [[LogicalWeakness Cats are usually afraid of heights in real life.]] On the flip side, despite being a ''fire cat'', she averts CatsHateWater and is shown in ''VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames'' to be a good swimmer.
* IWorkAlone: In ''Sonic Rush'' she insists that it's her job and hers alone to retrieve the Sol Emeralds and fix everything, which comes to a head when she fights Sonic because he won't stay out of her business. She grows out of it after that, and is happy to accept Sonic's aid in ''Rush Adventure''.
* JackOfAllStats: Like Amy, Blaze is able to hit hard enough (thanks to her flames) and run substantially fast. She is classified as a Balanced Character in VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being introduced into the series as a cold, grumpy, stubborn and somewhat harsh loner, Blaze is mostly a good person trying to protect the Sol Emeralds and the world itself.
* KidHero: She's only 14, yet is a LittleMissBadass.
* LadyOfWar: Her fighting style is always poised and elegant, with graceful spins and twirls. Don't let her royal appearance fool you, she's a master of fiery arts.
* LargeHam: She dips into this from time to time. An example is when Eggman refuses to return the Sol Emeralds.
-->'''Blaze:''' Hmmm, it seems you like to play with fire. Let me light up your fingers then!
* LeaveMeAlone: At first until she learns to accept Sonic and the others' offer of friendship.
* LeeroyJenkins: Shown near the end of ''VideoGame/SonicRushAdventure''. When she gets angry, she has a tendency to blindly rush into battle. Fortunately, Sonic manages to calm her down.
* LethalChef: She's apparently [[http://i.imgur.com/ErQHj76.jpg not very good at cooking]].
* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Silver in ''Sonic '06''. Due to ''Sonic '06'' being erased from canon, the two are no longer childhood friends, being from different worlds[[note]]Blaze being from the Sol Dimension, and Silver being from the future of Sonic's world[[/note]]. Though they do briefly interact in the DS version of ''Sonic Colors'', and the console versions of ''Sonic Generations''.
* LonerTurnedFriend: She was extremely insociable until Sonic met her.
* MarriedToTheJob: She initially pushed people away in part because of her duties as Princess and Guardian of the Sol Emeralds; until she learned that carrying the world solely on her own shoulders was putting the world at more risk than allowing others to help.
* ModestRoyalty: Her coat is stylish but not ostentatious, and she wears no crown or other obvious markers of royalty. In fact, she seems to dislike being treated as such.
* NoSocialSkills: In ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'', the other characters' overt friendliness clearly confused her, and she is known to be direct and blunt in her approach. She has since improved, though she is still somewhat brusque.
* NotSoSimilar: Blaze is often similar to Knuckles due to both being both guardians of powerful artifacts (Knuckles with the Master Emerald and Blaze with the Sol Emeralds) and both have served as {{Foil}}s to Sonic where they [[FireForgedFriends started off as opponents before becoming friends of his]]. A few differences is that Knuckles fought Sonic due to Eggman's manipulations while Blaze fought Sonic due to her stubbornness in accepting his help. Also, both Blaze and Knuckles started off as anti-social loners; the only difference being that Blaze's development from loner to friend was more explicit while Knuckles' development was rather subtle. As for temperaments, while both characters are serious, Knuckles is rather hot-tempered while Blaze is more calm, but can get riled up on occasions.
* NotSoStoic: One of her character flaws is her tendency to lose her cool in critical situations.
* NotQuiteFlight: Can hover by igniting flames under her feet.
* OnlySaneMan: Although she was harsh about it, Blaze was the only one seriously worried about getting the Sol Emeralds and getting back to her world, because bad things could have happened if she didn't return on time.
* ParentalAbandonment: In ''Sonic Rush'', she states that she was always alone due to her powers and having to guard the Sol Emeralds. But in ''Sonic Rush Adventure'', we learn that she did have a living family.
* PerpetualFrowner:
** Before and during ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}''; she was honestly surprised when Cream pointed out that she was smiling.
** In the ''Mario and Sonic'' series, she is portrayed as much more jovial and enthusiastic, frequently displaying a large wide open smile, suggesting she maybe has more a SeriousBusiness treatment of her duties rather than being negative in personality.
* PersonalityPowers: Played with. Usually, unlike most [[PlayingWithFire fire-wielders]], she plays the [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]] to her more reckless and emotional teammates; however, when things get tense...
* PlayingWithFire: Obviously; her name is ''[[MeaningfulName Blaze]]'' the Cat, after all. Oddly enough, she only seems to throw fireballs in her super form. In her normal form, she fights like Sonic, but with fire.
* PowerOfFriendship: Had to [[AnAesop learn about this]] before she could utilize the power of the Sol Emeralds.
* PungeonMaster: Not as frequent as most examples of the trope, but she tends to let out a few fire-based puns.
* PurpleIsPowerful: She's a purple and powerful cat.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blaze is usually calm and reserved, making her the Blue to Sonic's Red. However, when things get tense, they swap.
** In ''Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)'', she serves as the calm, mature Blue to Silver's inexperienced, rash Red.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Blaze recalls the events of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' despite said events having been [[RetGone erased from time]].
--> '''Blaze:''' "I never thought I'd find myself in Crisis City again. This world is full of surprises."
* TheRival: Blaze was a bit of a rival to Sonic during the first half of ''[[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Sonic Rush]]''. This element of hers is long ignored afterwards, though.
* RoyalRapier: Wields one as Percival in ''Sonic and the Black Knight''.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Despite being a princess, Blaze prefers to solve problems by taking action herself. This leads her to go after Whisker in ''Rush Adventure'' without any back-up.
* SatelliteCharacter: To Silver in ''06''. She spends most of her screentime by his side and ''only'' interacts with him -- even in cutscenes involving other characters, she mostly just stands off to the side while Silver does the talking. Averted in most other games featuring both despite their friendship still standing, as she gets plenty of interactions and dialogue that doesn't involve Silver in any way.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Inverted, Blaze is the Savvy Girl to Sonic's Energetic Guy.
* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler:She used herself as the host to seal away Iblis in ''Sonic 06''.]]
* SenselessSacrifice: Her HeroicSacrifice in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', which has her [[spoiler:become Iblis's vessel and seals herself in another dimension. Besides [[CursedWithAwesome getting the power]] of [[RealityWarper Solaris]]]] and the possibility of it remaining unchanged, the outcome of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' wasn't able to be prevented as the Last Story reveals.
* ShipTease: With both Sonic and Silver at various points.
** After the fight with Sir Percival, the knight falls from a cliff and Sonic saves her. This leads to Sonic say "whim is my other master", which led to Caliburn to say "save the hugs and kisses for later." This leads to Percival to visibly blush.
--> '''Sonic:''' What? You're jealous or something?\\
'''Caliburn''': From a knave such as you? Ridiculous!
* ShrinkingViolet: Blaze is an outcast due to her fire powers, which took a dent on her social skills. This led to her becoming increasingly anxious as Cream attempts to befriend her. [[ColorMotif And she's purple, to boot!]]
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Her standoffish behavior is less her disliking people and more just not knowing how to deal with them, having grown up with no friends and a great deal on her shoulders.
* SpyCatsuit: Her ''VideoGame/SonicRiders'' outfit.
* StoryBreakerPower: [[SuperMode Burning Blaze]] would be a tremendous help in most occasions. It doesn't come up often for this very reason.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Tends to be cold and aloof towards strangers due to shyness, but once she [[JustForPun warms up]] to someone, she shows a [[DefrostingIceQueen caring, albeit awkward and brusque]], side to her.
* SuperMode: Burning Blaze is her world's equivalent to Super Sonic. So far, she's the only female character in the entire series to have one.
* SuperSpeed: She's the fastest female character, and can actually give Sonic a run for his money in this department, in high heels no less.
* SuperStrength: She's classified as a Power character in ''VideoGame/SonicRunners''.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Amy and Cream's girly girl.
* ThroughAFaceFullOfFur: Percival blushed when Sonic saved her in ''Black Knight''.
* TokenWholesome: Out of the anthro cast (especially the females), Blaze tends to cover the most fur, barring ''VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames'' (where she [[BareYourMidriff bares her midriff]]).
* VillainBeatingArtifact: The Sol Emeralds she carries are capable of turning Blaze into [[SuperMode Burning Blaze]], allowing her to burn the problems away. However she doesn't use the Sol Emeralds for that as often as she should. Then again, the plot for some games would be [[StoryBreakerPower a lot shorter]].
* WarriorPrince: She's a princess and formidable fighter.
* WhenSheSmiles: An InUniverse reaction. When Blaze smiles in "Sonic Rush," Cream acts very surprised and asks Blaze if she's really smiling.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: As shown in both ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'' titles, she has acrophobia. [[LogicalWeakness It makes sense]] when you consider that cats are usually afraid of heights in real life, yet it conflicts with her acrobatic prowess during gameplay.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: She is very mature and intelligent for her age. However, she's also younger and less experienced than Sonic, and loses her cool more easily than he does.
* WomenAreWiser: Albeit DependingOnTheWriter. In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' and ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'', she is much more composed and "normal" acting than her other team members. In titles such as the ''VideoGame/SonicRushSeries'', however, she is a [[LargeHam hammy]] GrumpyBear.
* {{Youkai}}: While lacking the signature second tail, her being a cat that walks upright as well as her ability to control fire evokes the image of a ''kasha'', a supernatural, grave-robbing creature whose true appearance is said to be that of a ''nekomata'' wreathed in flames.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite what their personalities would lead you to believe, Blaze is actually a year younger than Sonic. To be exact, Sonic is 15, and she's 14, the same age as Silver.

[[folder:Silver the Hedgehog]]
[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/silver_18.png]]

-->''"I will protect the future!"''

->'''Debut''': ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' ([[CosmicRetcon erased timeline]] [[SchrodingersCanon possibly]])\\
'''Proper Debut''': ''VideoGame/SonicRivals''\\
'''Voiced by''': Creator/DaisukeOno (Japanese); Creator/PeteCapella (English, 2006-2010), Creator/QuintonFlynn (English, 2010-2017), Creator/BrycePapenbrook (English, 2019-present); Hervé Grull (French, 2011-present)

A telekinetic hedgehog from 200 years in the future.

In the original timeline, Silver's future was destroyed by the "Flames of Disaster", known as Iblis. He and his friend Blaze spent their days defending their home from Iblis in an never-ending conflict. One day though, a mysterious individual named [[ObviouslyEvil Mephiles the Dark]] approach him with the opportunity to travel to the past, and destroy the one who awakens Iblis, the Iblis Trigger: Sonic the Hedgehog. Silver goes to the past alongside Blaze to kill Sonic, but is eventually stopped by Shadow, who reveals Mephiles true intentions: to reunite with Iblis and destroy all of existence. Silver eventually make amends with Sonic, and returns to the future with the method to seal Iblis with the Chaos Emeralds. Once he defeats Iblis, Blaze seals Iblis within herself, saving the future.

After the destruction of Solaris, a new timeline was created. Silver came from a future where the evil Doctor Eggman Nega is a recurring pest. He travels back in time to capture Eggman Nega and bring him back to the future, and later, to prevent Eggman Nega from summoning a fire demon named Ifrit, who has destroyed the world in the future.

Silver is idealistic, headstrong, and more than a bit naive. His one true desire is a place where people can be happy and free from harm, but he's pretty rash and quick to make judgments without all of the details.

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: He's a little older than usual for this trope, but he is portrayed as a young boy who carries the world on his shoulders.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: Shadow and Silver have similar abilities, personality traits, and chest fur. ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic And The Black Knight]]'' has Shadow as Lancelot and Silver as Lancelot's son Galahad. They get a special winning animation in the ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames Sochi Olympic]]'' Games, too, which is intended for characters with some kind of relationship. There's a lot of father-son feeling in theirs, with Silver trying to copy Shadow and look tough, when most of his winning poses have him floating around like a kid. Despite this, WordOfGod is that the two aren't related.
* AntiHero:
** In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', he is desperate to save the future, making him an easy target for Mephiles' machinations. This leads to him spending the majority of his arc relentlessly pursuing Sonic, blinded by his belief that murdering the blue hedgehog is key to preventing Iblis' release. In every game after, he is unambiguously on the side of good.
** Silver behaves similarly in ''VideoGame/SonicRivals'', as his intense desire to save the world causes him to be rude and hostile towards anyone he meets.
* AnimeHair: His hair is pointed upwards.
* BadassAdorable: He looks like a younger Sonic, but his psychic powers make Silver one of the most powerful characters in the franchise.
* BloodKnight: He is very eager to have sparring matches with Sonic in ''Sonic Generations''.
* CosmicRetcon: His debut in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' is no longer applicable, due to the events of that game being erased by Elise. His first encounter with Sonic and friends was in ''VideoGame/SonicRivals''.
* CarpetOfVirility: He has a tuft of fur much like Shadow's, but subverted in that he is less competent and mature than some other characters.
* CastHerd: When Blaze isn't present, Silver tends to be sorted with the Chaotix - He teams up with Espio in ''VideoGame/SonicRivals 2'', is usually with them at the base in ''VideoGame/SonicForces'', and joins Team Vector (alongside Blaze) in ''VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing''. Silver may be considered an unnoficial member of the team.
* CatchAndReturn: His specialty is grabbing objects with his psychic powers and hurling them at his foes. When truly enraged, Silver will sometimes use his telekinesis directly on his opponent.
* ConjoinedEyes: Just like Sonic and Shadow.
* DeadpanSnarker: Shows a pretty sarcastic side to him in ''[[VideoGame/SonicColors Sonic Colors DS]]''.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Fluctuates in personality between games arguably moreso than any character in the franchise, no doubt due to different teams handling him in his infrequent appearances.
** In ''06'', written by Creator/ShiroMaekawa, he was a serious but approachable individual who had a sense of wonder about the past.
** In the ''Rivals'' games, written by Takashi Iizuka, he was rude and hostile with little patience for those who he thought were in the way of his goals. He was still approachable though, albeit much less so, having a playful side with the Chao.
** In ''Colors'' and ''Generations'' he's much more light-hearted, with a playful and sarcastic attitude similar to Sonic's.
** In ''Team Sonic Racing'', with the English version written by Ken Pontac and Warren Graff, he's far more socially awkward and naive than in his previous appearances, similar to how he acts in [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics the]] [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW comics]]. He doesn't understand Sonic trash-talk, but is overall a sweet kid.
* {{Determinator}}: Much like Sonic, nothing will keep Silver down for too long.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: In ''Sonic '06'', he fights against one half of the main villain (Iblis), whereas Shadow fights the other half (Mephiles).
* EasilyForgiven: He tries to kill Sonic and allows Eggman to swoop up Elise ''twice''. The third time they cross paths, he requests helping Sonic to save Elise. Sonic's response is a smile and a "no hard feelings" fist pump.
* {{Expy}}: His role and characterization are based primarily on [[Anime/DragonBallZ Future Trunks]]; his entry in the game's script even ends with "basically, think Trunks from ''Dragon Ball Z''". In the ''Sonic's 27th Anniversary Charity Stream for Syntero Mental Health'', Creator/ShiroMaekawa confirms the resemblance is intentional, saying they took "the base model from Trunks".
* FatalFlaw: To a more visible extent but "Pride" and "Wrath" seem to be Silver's more negative personality traits. He represents wrath, because Silver is shown to get constantly stressed and frustrated about saving his endless future crisis and he seems to really lose his temper whenever someone keeps interfering in his missions, and pride, because silver tends to be more cocky and competitive than other characters as shown in the Sonic Rivals series.
* FireForgedFriends: With Sonic in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' after learning that Mephiles deceived him into thinking he was the Iblis Trigger. However, as the events of the game were [[{{Retcon}} erased]], Silver TookALevelInJerkass and he and Sonic clashed again in the ''Sonic Rivals'' series. It wasn't until ''Sonic Colors DS'' that the two got along again.
* {{Flight}}: By turning his telekinesis on himself, Silver can fly through the air.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: In ''Forces'', he encounters Infinite in Mystic Jungle and attempts to fight him, but never once thinks to just immobilize him with his telekinesis. This is especially jarring when in the final battle with Eggman's army, he uses his telekinesis to immobilize three of Infinite's virtual reality constructs for Team Chaotix to hit them.
* ForGreatJustice: Sometimes he doesn't know what to do due to these two motives clashing; he wants people to be happy and to bring peace to his world, but he also wants to bring justice upon those who harm the future. Sometimes he leans more towards one side than the oother.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric
* FriendlyRival: Seems to take this role in later titles, particularly in his boss battle in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations''. He is giving Sonic all he's got, and they both seem to be enjoying it.
* GoodIsNotNice: In the ''Rivals'' games, he has shown to be impatient, bossy, rude and short-tempered to people unprovoked, but still fights to save his world.
* GoodIsNotSoft: Because of his strong sense of justice, he holds this demeanor towards the evils that would harm his future. Can sometimes double with GoodIsNotNice because this can lead him into conflict with the other characters whom he feels are preventing him from saving it, which may have been the case of his attitude in the ''Sonic Rivals'' series.
* HumansArePsychicInTheFuture: Silver has powerful psychich abilities compared to the main cast from the present, but has no in-story reason as for why (compared with Shadow's background). Blaze likewise is pirokinetic, although this is due to her connection with the Sol Emeralds in ''Rush''.
* HairTriggerTemper: In ''Sonic Rivals'' and ''Sonic Rivals 2'' he communicated to his peers in a very angry, abrasive and hostile manner. He's usually like this if he feels frustrated when dealing with some future crisis.
* HeelFaceTurn:
** Initially starts out as a pawn of Mephiles, but after Shadow helps him to see that he's being used, he fights against Mephiles along with the others.
** Repeated again in the ''Rivals'' series, where he started out antagonistic towards Sonic because he felt Eggman Nega was his duty. He got better, and considers the cast his friends.
* HeroAntagonist: In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', He fights to protect the future and falsely believes that Sonic is the Iblis Trigger and attempts to kill him but is stopped by his (Sonic's) allies Amy, and Shadow and eventually realized that he was tricked by Mephiles.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: In his debut, he's easily duped by the ObviouslyEvil Mephiles into thinking Sonic is the cause of his BadFuture. It takes Shadow calling him out on it, and going back in time to witness the failure of the Solaris Project, for him to realize the truth.
* ImageSong: "[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Dreams of an Absolution]]".
* InformedFlaw: He's been stated to be [[HatesBeingAlone insecure when he's alone]], but he's never really seemed to be for more than a moment.
-->'''Silver:''' ''(having just arrived in the present, separated from Blaze)'' Blaze? Blaze! ''*looks around for a few moments*'' Now I must fight for the future!
* InspectorJavert: Played straight. He caused a ''lot'' of problems for Sonic in ''Sonic 06''. Said problems included nearly ''killing'' him twice in a row, allowing Eggman to kidnap Elise ''yet again''. Ironically, Eggman kidnapping Elise those times actually might have turned out better in the short run, given what happened when Mephiles killed Sonic himself in front of Elise.
* InSpiteOfANail: While his original future was averted, he still exists in its replacements and they never seem to be peaceful. So he keeps coming back to fix things.
* InstantExpert: Just like Sonic, he learnt Chaos Control in ''Sonic 06'' by watching Shadow do it. [[UpToEleven He learns it even quicker than Sonic does with even less information about what Shadow was doing.]]
* InterfaceScrew: His special ability in ''Sonic Rivals'' has him using his powers to scramble the opponent's controls.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Silver is abrasive, rude and hostile in the ''Sonic Rivals'' series and is often shown making rash and impatient decisions that come to bite him and his friends later, but he does care about others and tries to remain on the side of justice.
* KidHero: He's 14 years old, one year younger than Sonic, and the same age as Blaze.
* KnightTemplar: Although (mostly) kept in check by PetTheDog moments, he is utterly merciless in his debut, coming very close to straight up murdering Sonic in two separate occasions, only being stopped thanks to Amy and Shadow intervening.
* LargeHam: Silver's first English actor, Creator/PeteCapella, has gone on record during an interview stating that [[NoIndoorVoice it's difficult to do Silver's voice quietly.]]
--> "IT'S NO UUUSE!!!"
* LightIsGood: His dominant color is silver, he has a GoldenSuperMode and he is a hero at heart.
* LongRangeFighter: He mainly attacks using telekinesis but isn't really good in up close brawls, especially compared to Sonic and Shadow.
* MindOverMatter: His main superpower is telekinesis.
* MundaneObjectAmazement:
-->'''Silver:''' This looks so beautiful.\\
'''Amy:''' What? You mean this [[ShiftingSandLand desert]]?\\
'''Silver:''' Everything is so great here, isn't it? The sky is gorgeous, and everyone's happy...
* NiceGuy: He can be one when he isn't stressing out about some future crisis.
* PerpetualFrowner: It's very rare to see Silver smile in his debut games, although this often has to do with him stressing over a crisis harming his future. He is noticeably more outgoing and optimistic from ''Sonic Colors'' onwards, claiming that everyone in his timeline has a smile on their faces, and since then has generally been more upbeat.
* PhysicalGod: In ''06'' he can transform into his Super form thanks to the seven Chaos Emeralds, in this form he is powerful enough to destroy a the entire world and was able to fight Solaris.
* PsychicPowers: Aside from his telekinesis, he can perform telepathy, but it's very limited and can only disorient foes at the most.
* PsychicTeleportation: One of his PsychicPowers.
* RedOniBlueOni: He serves as the rash and inexperienced Red to Blaze's more experienced and mature Blue in ''Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)''.
** In ''Sonic Rivals 2'', he serves as the short-tempered and bossy Red to Espio's calm and stoic Blue.
* TheRival: To an extent, he started as one to Sonic due to Mephiles' manipulation (and briefly with Shadow). Then after ''Sonic 2006'' was retconned, they started as rivals again (he also had some bouts with Shadow and Knuckles). After the ''Rivals'' series, they become friendly towards each other.
* RivalsTeamUp: Does this with Shadow and then Sonic in ''Sonic 2006'' after finding out the truth about Mephiles and Iblis' origin.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong:
** In his debut, he's trying to stop the BadFuture caused by Iblis from happening. He doesn't really succeed [[spoiler:as the end result is Solaris being recreated and nearly destroying reality,]] and it's Sonic who has to pull this trope to fix it.
** In ''Forces'' the prequel comic has him trying to stop a ''different'' BadFuture from happening involving Eggman's victory bringing the world to ruin. [[spoiler:He actually ''succeeds'' this time without even realizing it, as he knocks the Prototype Phantom Ruby off Infinite in their fight, which is instrumental to defeating Eggman in the end.]]
* SkilledButNaive: A mix of this and UnskilledButStrong. Due to his young age, his skill in actual hand-to-hand combat is lacking and he can easily be manipulated, but his PsychicPowers make both of these relatively moot points.
* SpiritedCompetitor: His reaction towards getting challenged to a rematch in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' shows elements of this.
-->'''Silver:''' This should be fun! Let's go, Sonic!
* SuperMode: He becomes Super Silver and joins Sonic and Shadow in the final battle against Solaris. This form greatly enhances his telekinetic skills, letting him stop several meteors travelling at high-speed and hurl them back at Solaris with enough force to shatter the deity's arms. It is interesting to note that, unlike any other transformation, Super Silver is largely ignored, remaining a OneShotCharacter.
* SuperSpeed: Unlike Sonic and Shadow, Silver did not possess this ability in his debut, at least on foot. He could fly fast in cutscenes, but on foot and in-game, he was rather slow. In later appearances, his running speed has been greatly increased, being comparable to Sonic and Shadow's.
* TeleportSpam: In ''Sonic Generations 3DS'', he can keep up with the Sonic Boost by repeatedly teleporting in front of Sonic.
* TimeTravel: Silver is from 200 years in the future, so any of his appearances in Sonic's era inevitably involve this. How this is accomplished besides ''06'' is unknown, with a Japanese manual stating he uses Chaos Control.
* TimeyWimeyBall: Silver's BadFuture doesn't exist, yet somehow he does. In his appearances, something affects the past from an outside source in history (Eggman Nega machinations, Eggman finding the Phantom Ruby, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Dodonpa sending him an invitation for a racing contest]]), creating a BadFuture he has to correct.
* TookALevelInBadass: His powers are '''much''' stronger in ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', to the point where he can compress several tons of cars and debris into a massive ball and send it rolling after Sonic.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Silver goes from a conflicted AntiHero who broods over the idea of killing someone if it means saving the world to a cheerful, high-spirited NiceGuy and consistent ally to Sonic.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the ''Sonic Rivals'' games, he acts much ruder to everyone than in [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 his debut]]. He's gotten better since his cameo in ''[[VideoGame/SonicColors Sonic Colors DS]]''.
* TookALevelInKindness: Initially a conflicted AntiHero in ''06'' and a full-blown {{Jerkass}} in the ''Rivals'' series, later games have significantly scaled back Silver's meanness and depicted him as more of a kind, cheerful NiceGuy. Downplayed in that he was never really that mean outside of his role as an UnwittingPawn, but some spin-offs like ''VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing'' characterize him as much more innocent and friendly right off the bat. Considering that together with his CharacterDevelopment into a nicer person in the mainline games, the implication is that [[UsedToBeASweetKid this is just what Silver is like]] if you remove him from the context of having to avert a BadFuture as he usually does.
* TrueCompanions: Blaze is his only friend in the future ruined by Iblis. [[spoiler:He is devastated when she sacrifices herself to seal away Iblis, a role that he intended to fulfill by himself.]] The DS version of ''Colors'' plays with this, as Tails muses that it's almost as if Silver and Blaze were partners at some point when he witnesses the two teaming up against Eggman's robots, and the two still appear together in ''Team Sonic Racing''.
* UnwittingPawn: Mephiles tricks Silver by convincing him that Sonic is the Iblis Trigger.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He has no qualms against killing Sonic to save his future, [[WhatTheHellHero but getting an earful from Amy]] made him question if it's truly right to kill someone for his own ends.
