Sticks the Badger
First Appearance: Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric

I fucking love Sticks. She's awesome. Get her out of Sonic Boom and into the main series I don't care what you have to do god damn.

Sticks is a brown and orange badger in a caveman-like attire.

So this may be a liiiittle bit unfair, but because the Sonic Boom cartoon is basically almost canon to the Sonic Boom games, and Sticks is more or less identical in those, I can kind of lean on that a little more, because it's essentially just more of the exact stuff that makes Sticks better than the games.

Sticks is basically a rabid badger who is crazy and paranoid and also very excitable and a little quick to lash out sometimes. Honestly, Sticks is probably the most fun inclusion to a Sonic cast since... uh, Sonic Heroes maybe? Sonic Rush? Basically, it's been a minute since we've had a legitimately awesome character join the Sonic universe.

She's one of the shining parts of those 3DS games which... you know, aren't great. They're fine, but nothing I'm looking to ever play again. But it's absolutely tragic that Sticks has been relegated to this, because she's so much fun.

I'm trying not to lean entirely too much on the TV series, but I feel like I should at least bring that up more, because she fits seemlessly with that crew and is constantly really funny. Somehow the paranoia and conspiracy jokes never get old, but I think that's a credit to Sonic Boom's writing in general. People always talk about how great Knuckles is in that series, and he is, but Sticks is my personal favorite from that show.

Concerning how she can fit--I don't think there's a sort of "feral" character in the Sonic series aside from her. She has a unique weapon with her boomerang and is highly acrobatic which I don't know there's any characters that kind of fit that either? And she brings an energy and personality nobody else in that universe can match.

Basically, they need to bring Sticks to the main series. That's just really all there is to it. There's no reason not to, and she can fit in just fine and probably be a stand-out among the rest of the regular cast. I have a little faith because they put her in one of the Mario & Sonic Olympic games, but maybe we can all say a prayer for more Sticks appearances.

Also because they're different enough, if anyone wants my takes on the Sonic Boom versions of other characters, feel free to nominate them as well.

Sonic fans also got weird with Sticks art too, act surprised.
