Blaze the Cat (Tekken 7 Guest)

Blaze the Cat is a Heroine from the Sonic the Hedgehog series of Video Games, as well as the Comics based on the Franchise hailing from the Sol Dimension, being a DLC Tekken 7 Playable Guest Character.

Background
Blaze was born into the Royal family of a Kingdom in the Sol Dimension, who've protected the Jeweled Specter for many Generations. From birth, Blaze possessed the inherent power to control flames with her body, an ability she possessed for her future duty as the guardian of the Sol Emeralds, at which she would transform into her Burning Blaze form. As she rose to princesshood, she became the Guardian of the Sol Emeralds. Because of her rough past though, Blaze saw her abilities as a "curse" that forced her into a life of seclusion for her duty. As such, she shut herself off from other people to bear her responsibilities alone, making her shy, withdrawn and self-reliant. Over the course of her duty, Blaze lived an isolated life without any real friends which meant she never learned how to use the Sol Emeralds until she met Sonic for the first time during the events of Sonic Rush.

Appearance
Blaze is a lavender-furred, anthropomorphic Cat with a pair of gold eyes. Her muzzle is white, her inner ears are peach colored and the tip of her tail dark purple. She wears a long purple flared mantle-like coat of sorts with a gold collar and white tights; the cuffs are fuzzy and white. She has four plumes of "hair" done up in a high ponytail with some dark purple tips. Her outfit is generally accented in pinks and reds, including her pair of high heeled shoes, hairband, coat trim and a small gem on her forehead.

Gameplay
Blaze's Gameplay will not only be similar to Scorpion's from the Mortal Kombat series, as well as Dormammu and Ghost Rider's appearances in various Marvel Video Game adaptations, with the latter not only in his own game, but also from Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, as all of them are Fighters who use Fire in their Combat, her movesets will also use elements from her appearances, such as her Dance moves, speed-based Fighting Skills similar to the Flash in his appearances such as the Injustice titles and other Speed type Characters in Fighting Games, such as Jacky Bryant as seen in the Virtua Fighter ​​​​​​franchise and as well as Fighters that are within the Power, Speed and Strength types, such as Cammy White and Morrigan Aensland from the Street Fighter and Darkstalkers series, with the latter as seen in the Vs. Capcom titles.

Rage Art
Her Rage Art is transforming as Burning Blaze. First, she is surrounded by Sol Emeralds, then when she gets into them, she transforms into her Powerful form after she did it, she does Powerful Kicks first infused with Flames, then she slams the Opponents with a Powerful Firery Uppercut ending with a pair of Firery Bsllet Kicks and when her Opponents are into the air, She kicks them into the Ground of Fire and Blaze Knocks the opponent out and ends with them in a Burned state, similar to Scorpion's Fatalities and his Super Move in Injustice: Gods Among Us.
