Blaze the Cat is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is an anthropomorphic cat from an alternate dimension, where she is both the imperial princess of the Sol Empire who has the right to inherit the throne, and the appointed guardian of the Sol Emeralds, a role similar to that of Sonic and Knuckles combined[6] and that of a shrine maiden, although she appears too busy for such an admirable position as the latter. Despite being in a position of considerable power though, Blaze tends to escape her castle and act rather freely and independently. As her name suggests, she is gifted with the power of pyrokinesis, which lets her create and manipulate fire in any way she pleases. Possibly due to her sheer strength, Blaze often acts without her royal guards to protect her.

Blaze is normally calm and elegant, but tends to conceal her true feelings. Devoted to her position, she sometimes gets herself bogged down by her own strict discipline, which made her anti-social, shy, and unfamiliar to the concept of having friends. After spending time with Sonic and Cream, however, Blaze has discovered the true meaning of friendship, allowing her to accomplish tasks for the good of her people and the innocent which she could never do alone. Despite the initial boundaries separating them, Blaze now travels freely between her dimension and Sonic's to visit her friends.

Blaze is a lavender-furred, anthropomorphic cat with gold eyes, a small black nose and a white-furred muzzle. She has triangular ears with peach-colored canals and a long tail with the end frayed and violet. Her fur is longer on each side of her head and sweeps slightly upwards. She has four plumes of hair with violet tips done up in a high ponytail with a red hair tie. She also has a red oval gem on her forehead, resembling a bindi.

For attire, Blaze wears a purple tailcoat with rose trim at the bottom, a gold collar, and white leggings. She also wears white gloves with fluffy cuffs and rose, high-heeled shoes with gray soles, white stripes and fluffy cuffs, like her gloves.

Cool, collected, and serious in battle, Blaze typically maintains a dignified bearing, though despite the impression this, along with her royal status, may leave on others, she dislikes being referred to by titles such as "Princess" or "Your Majesty," and would rather be called by her own name. She also holds trust in the Sol Emeralds, and does not deviate from the tasks they cause her to undertake until uncovering the purpose behind the those tasks.
