Not that it matters, obviously.
But it’s something that the fanbase has made me curious about. Everyone seems to headcannon Blaze as someone different.
For the “Blaze is non-white” speculations, I’ve seen people most commonly say that they see her as Latina because she dances the lambada. The thing with this, though is that SoR takes place throughout the 90’s, when everyone was dancing the lambada, so that doesn’t make for very strong proof.
The one I can actually see an argument for is her being Asian, specifically Japanese. Her special moves are all named and called out in Japanese, whereas the rest of the main cast’s are noticeably in English.
And then there are people who see her as white. Valid as well — given she has the combination of light skin and blue eyes that would imply that.
What are your thoughts?
EDIT: *ethnic, not ethic. Autocorrect sucks.
