Edit/ I went and fixed up the sketch a bit, re-inked the whole thing, and then this time colored it with shading to fit the rest of my new ref format. Why did I go to that trouble instead of just sketching a new picture? ... Because I'm too lazy to draw something from scratch and still really like how this looks./Edit

Metal Blaze... Hands down one of the most terrifying things to ever come from my mind o@;;

Design-wise she's a meshing of concepts by me, ~darkburraki and ~Stoney107 and overall I tried to make her look like something Sonic Team themselves might have actually designed - something that actually looked like it could appear in a game.

Personality-wise she utterly terrifies me o@ Just... picture the most bubbly, obnoxious, over-the-top valleygirl you can possibly imagine. ... Yeah. She's worse. Though it's largely an act. Though she really is pretty ditzy, she's also extremely calculating and purposely exaggerates her behavior just so people won't take her seriously, and therefor underestimate her (hello, false sense of security). One moment she'll be prancing around and trying to cuddle you, and the next she'll be setting you on fire because you let your guard down.

"FC" stands for "fan character". I'm just marking my refs this way to make them easier to sort in my character sheet gallery.
