A little explanation on Honey : She actually existed way before Shadow and the likes of him.

Hell, she's not even a Sonic character to start with : She's a "Sonic-ified" version of Honey from Fighting Vipers that was meant to appear in Sonic The Fighters as some kind of easter egg due to both games running on the same engine, before being disabled due to an eye glitch.

A later release of Sonic The Fighters on modern consoles fixed said eye glitch and re-enabled her.

She's not edgy in the slightest, she's just a cat that happens to wear a red dress and have black hair. As far as I know, she doesn't have a dramatic backstory nor her personality can be described as "crossing her arms and brooding".

Red and black =/= ow the edge, people.

I'd love to eat some honey.
