Stealth the Hedgehog

Allow me to introduce Stealth "Stella" the Hedgehog.
Man...Stella. Never thought I'd ever name a character that. Its a nice name though. Stella is Latin for "Star". ^_^ But that isn't the point.
I was challenged by a friend and fellow fan of Old School Sega to draw up my own "Per-Sonic-a", or rather my own character from the Sonic the Hedgehog Universe.

I naturally wanted to make a female, but as far as the character styles went, I wasn't familiar with the body structures of female Mobians. So, I did a little research by browsing through millions of fan arts.
Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the results.

Seems folks are hung up on the Rouge body type, giving their female characters Big Boobs, Girly Ballroom length gloves, and high Go-Go boots. I know that "Sex Appeal" tends to draw in the views, but c'mon... ¬_¬

So I decided to go against the grain. Using the basic structure of the Mobian body, I began to piece her together.
First I chose to make her a hedgehog, just for simplification purposes. Since the Hedgehog types tend to be very active and athletic in this universe, I aimed to make her body realistically proportioned. REAL athletic women don't carry huge honkers on their chests. Makes for some awkward and painful running(I should know... ). No UBER boobs, but she still has her femenin curves, so no worries guys.
Also...if anyone wishes to raise a n00bish point that: "Ooh! She's Topless! Where are her Nipples?!" Let me ask you this...Do you see any nipples or any other "exposed" parts on the male characters since they wear NOTHING but SHOES? HA! I win!

Next I designed her spikey "Hair" and face to resemble that of an old character of mine. Her color scheme of Purple and Yellow also mimic the old character...also they are my favorite colors.
I gave her the short wrist length gloves. I think they accent her design perfectly. She wears a long yellow sash to match her eyes...also because it seems inescapable that female characters wear at least ONE article of clothing to make them more flashy than the males...I guess.
Also her boots were designed to be more fitting to her feet and the soles were made for traction and movement. No high heels, unless a girl wants to hurt and ankle or shatter a shin or knee. Simply common sense in their design. The lace up design was inspired by my favorite Sailor Senshi, Saturn.

And Stealth, AKA Stella, is complete. I decided that "Stella" would make a good "Nickname" for her since the name Stealth didn't sound too femenin, but I liked the title. Also, Stealth and Stella sound similar, at least in the first part of the names.

There is NO chance in HELL I'm pairing her up with Sonic as a sort of LOVER. I'm not that hard core of a fan.
