Blaze the Cat is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehogseries. She is an anthropomorphic cat from earth in the Sol Dimension, where she is both the imperial princess[6][7] 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 and that of a shrine maiden, although she appears too busy for such an admirable position as the latter. 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 with the concept of having friends.
