Maybe it would have =/ At first Sonic was supposed to have a human girlfriend afterall but due to all the SonElise haters out there SEGA will probably never think about something like that again. Actually, originally he was going to be this tough rocker dude who had a human girlfriend, but then a woman in America was like, "KIDS WOULD NOT LIKE THIS, AND GIVING HIM A HUMAN GIRLFRIEND WOULD CAUSE CONTROVERSY" and adjusted him to the Hedgehog we know and love today.

I think Elise was an attempt to bring that old idea back...that, and it looks like they tried to make everyone look like Final Fantasy characters.

Elise was supposed to be SEGA's answer to Princess Peach ...Why didn't they just use Sally Acorn? Also, Elise was nothing like Peach! She was more like a Final Fantasy character than anything else (what, with her appearance and having a demon inside her, and the demon being released through her tears of pain) Because Sally is too active. They needed a sort of trophy princess for Sonic to rescue. Of course she needed to be better than Peach so they gave her a story. Granted she takes a bit of action towards the end of Sonic's story but she's still a trophy like Peach.
