Blaze the Cat

Blaze the Cat (ブレイズ・ザ・キャット, Bureizu za Kyatto), is both a fictional character and tritagonist from the Super Kingdom Bros.'s Sonic series created by Masahiro Sakurai and Yuji Naka. She is an anthropomorphic cat hailing from 200 years into the future.

She is an old heroic ally and friend of Silver. She helps Silver in protecting the time by changing the catastrophes of the past, thus preventing the ruining of their era. As her name suggests, she weilds pyrokinesis, creating and manipulating fire in any way she pleases.

Blaze is normally calm and elegant, but tends to conceal her true feelings. Devoted to her role and duty, 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.

"I am Blaze the Cat... ...I command the fiery power of the Sol Emeralds... I command all fire!"
 * —Blaze the Cat.

Pyrokinesis
Blaze is born with the power of pyrokinesis, the ability to create and control fire in any way she desires. This ability is so deeply rooted in her that her soul itself is alit with flames. Though Blaze initially had trouble controlling her flames, she has since become very adept at using them, handling her flames delicately enough to creates small embers in the palm of her hands or defrost frozen creatures without harming them. Her control over fire is not limited to her own flames, but also those in the environment, allowing her to bend foreign flames to her will.

With her pyrokinesis, Blaze can conjure up flames at any place on or all over her body for various offensive effects, such as turning herself into a burning projectile, forming a cloak of flames or increase the damage of her blows. She can even ignite and raise large columns of fire from the ground from afar. Offense aside, she can also use her pyrokinesis defensively by conjuring up fields of fire around her as protection. She can also use her flames to propel herself forward, increasing her speed and/or granting her limited flight. Blaze's pyrokinesis also gives her limited heat resistance, making her invulnerable to certain types of flames, such as those in the environment.

Because Blaze's soul is alight with flame, she can serve as a vessel for Iblis who would otherwise reject anyone not a member of the royal family of Soleanna. Even so, she was not able to completely contain Iblis, as his power would still emanate from her.

Physical Abilities
Like many other characters in the series, Blaze is able to run at super speed, though she is not as fast as Sonic or Shadow. Regardless, she is still remarkably fast and possesses high speed movements and fast reflexes, something which even Sonic has acknowledged.

In line with her graceful nature, Blaze is also a quick thinker with lucid movements. She is incredibly acrobatic and nimble, and possesses impressive dexterity. She is shown being able to jump very long distances while landing perfectly safely, and can, while airborne, perform several tricks with precise movements. On the ground she is also able to perform tricks such as top spins, axels and axel jumps.

Blaze has a deep connection to the Sol Emeralds. Like Knuckles, she can sense the Sol Emeralds' energies, and can as well sense disruptions in the world she resides in. Before she understood the meaning of friendship from Sonic and his friends, Blaze was unable to harness the power of the Sol Emeralds, but after embracing the friendships she had forged, she gained the ability to tap into the Sol Emeralds' energies and use them to empower her.

Combat Skills
With her years of experienced training, Blaze is a very skilled fighter. She is arguably one of the strongest female characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, being the only female so far who has been able to tie with Sonic in combat. Fiercely dedicated to her duty, Blaze is as intense in battle as she is graceful and an equally skilled combatant.

Fighting Style
Most of Blaze's combat moves focuses on using graceful and delicate movements similar to ballet moves, to strike precise and hard blows at her opponents. When attacking, she tends to use her feet when launching physical blows. Most of Blaze's fighting moves comes from her pyrokinesis and relies heavily on their execution. By using her pyrokinesis in conjunction with her moves, Blaze can create unique and dynamic attacks that deals destructive damage on her targets, making her a fierce force to be reckoned with in combat.

Techniques and Moves
Blaze’s primary offensive maneuver involves turning herself into a tornado of fire by spinning around. Her techniques Burst Dash and Spinning Claw lets her charge fire and then launch her at full speed along the ground as a fiery tornado that destroy anything it collides with, similar to Sonic’s Spin Dash, but it does not keep its speed or goes faster. She can likewise perform an attack similar to the Homing Attack, called Fire Claw, where she quickly launches herself at the enemy and attacks them.

By using her pyrokinesis, Blaze can make her able to briefly hover in the air with her Burst Hover by igniting fire under her feet. By also enveloping herself in fire, she can increase her speed further by launching herself as a large fire projectile, called the Fire Boost, which destroys any opponent caught in her path, similar to the Boost.

Also, her Axel Jump and Axel Tornado allows her to jump into the air and twirling, making herself a fiery tornado that damages anything she makes contact with.

Attacks

 * Dash Boost
 * Grind Step
 * Homing Attack
 * Slide
 * Spin Attack
 * Spin Jump

Miscellaneous Skills

 * Levitation: In some instances Blaze is shown being able to levitate in the air.


 * Teleportation: She appears in front of Sonic in a burst of flame to take the blue Sol Emerald. This could mean that she can teleport through her flames, or by a way that may or may not be related to Chaos Control (or a form similar to Chaos Control possessed by the Sol Emeralds).

Blaze is also shown to have much knowledge on the various aspects of her world, such as its history, ancient languages and legends, and knows much about the various aspects of the Jeweled Scepter.


 * Driving: As seen during Dodon Pa's Grand Prix, Blaze also has excellent skills when it comes to driving and racing in racecars like the Royal Chariot.

Super Silver

 * Main article: Burning Blaze

Burning Blaze (バーニングブレイズ, Bāningu Bureizu), is Blaze's transformed state she can transform into since she learned how to harness the power of the seven Sol Emeralds, after realizing the importance of friendship and allowing herself to open up to people.

In this state, all of Blaze's abilities far surpasses her normal ones, and she is as well able to fly and is nearly invulnerable. Her pyrokinesis is also amplified, allowing her to shoot large fireballs.

Color Powers

 * Main article: Color Powers

By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Blaze can use specific Color Powers to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser or even a planet, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Blaze has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.

Weaknesses
"Heights was never my strong suit."
 * —Blaze the Cat, admitting her fear.


 * Acrophobia: Blaze appears to suffer from acrophobia, which is perhaps her greatest weakness. Her fear is even more pronounced as she was afraid to go into Sky Babylon; though she did not say so herself, Gardon confirmed that she is terrified of heights. Her phobia is strong that the resulting panic had caused her to complain about heights when jumping gaps.


 * Temper: Blaze's temper makes her prone to harsh and bad decisions. Her rough decisions were also noticed by Sonic where she completely lost her temper whilst threatening the 'Eggmen'. Sonic warns her to not make harsh decisions and as a princess she should be keeping a "level-head"; reminding her that she needs to look after her people, which Blaze slowly and regretfully realized.


 * Over-Confidence: Blaze also had a rather bad habit of getting over-confident in threatening people to whom she thinks 'deserves' it, and Sonic is shown to disagree with it.


 * Bad Judgement: Blaze has been shown to have a tendency to judge others poorly and seeing less value in others. Examples are when she expected no one to know that their worlds were in great danger but was proven wrong when Sonic and Tails were also aware. Her poor judgment of others led her to have a fight with Sonic and misjudge Cream until she realized how helpful she was.


 * Blunt: Blaze's blunt honesty causes her to comment harshly. She tried to leave Marine behind in missions due to Marine's risky behavior and even went far enough to hurt her feelings by calling her a 'nuisance' to keep her from coming along on a dangerous mission to Pirate Island. This caused Marine to go after the pirates without Sonic, Tails, and Blaze, which also caused her to be captured by them.
