Yeah, Fleetway!Sonic is abrasive, but he at least gets shit done no matter the context and patches up bad blood of his own accord. He doesn't even need to make big speeches to redeem other characters--he just does.

Lanolin just feels to me like a combo of everything people have hated about Sally Acorn.

Really? the fandom hates Lanolin?
I though her being Rouge tier big would make her a top 10 contestant.
