RE: Who is your favourite female Sonic character?

Well, take a damn guess, its Tangle the Lemur.
I don't usually like to single out characters as THE BEST CHARACTER because they all have their own qualities, but at the same time I have to have a favorite and for a while now it's been Tangle.
Sure, part of it is from her character herself who, on paper, doesn't sound that interesting, but when you get to the execution, ooooohohohohoh man! Overall an incredibly fun and wholesome character, but that's not all of why I like her... STORY TIME!!!
I was feeling pretty let down after a game I really liked got into some pretty ugly drama and I was really hesitant in playing it again. This was also the time I distanced myself from Sonic for a while since I thought the franchise was just going downhill.
But with the whole drama going on, I decided that I might as well go back to the would-be guilty pleasure that is Sonic where I kept hearing about these new IDW-published comics and OOOOOOHHHH BOY, I LOVED THEM. And this was also around the time Frontiers was coming out, then Murder of Sonic, then Superstars. And man, this franchise was actually rocking when I was absent.
I see Tangle as representing IDW Sonic, and IDW Sonic is what made me realize that, to put it bluntly, its cool to like Sonic again.
And that's what Tangle is to me, that Sonic's got his style back, that the love this community has for the franchise is undying and will do everything in their power to keep it going. And honestly, that the franchise had never lost steam to begin with the more I think about it.
Tangle just made me like Sonic again. Simple as that.
