i want him to but i also think it's likely its just core 4 + shadow

i did realize something about blaze although people do want her seperate from silver in games or other stuff, what else can she offer narratively?

i think a lot of people view those characters either as for hype/powersclaing moments physical abilities but for sonic, the characters used the most usually do moreso for narrative purposes.

shadow already exists as the more pragmatic minded and serious rival that contrasts sonic's idealistic view as the main conflict. amy already exists as the ''sonic love interest'' (i don't think the sonic blaze dynamic was ever initended to be romantic from either side, but still) knuckles already exists as the ''dutybound friendly rival that protexts the big mcguffin with potential lore''

now you guys would say ''she can have her own deal in sol dimension'' which is correct, however being reasonable, the IDW comics literally have mandates aganist for that to happen(sol dimension can't be shown or expanded) and for main games, when we are in the timeline even shadow can barely lead his own games, while i don't say its impossible, it doesn't seem to be something they would do at the current state of the franchise, sonic series just doesn't sell like hot cakes for them to have dedicated spinoffs to every character and keep the audience interested. now, blaze could help defeating the big bad in sonic's world but... it's just kind of nothing narrative or themes wise that sonic series prefers.

so for being productive, what would you guys do with her in sonic's world that justifies her narrative presence seperate from others, whether it's with silver or without him.
