I'm pretty sure that new character is either Antoine or Sally Acorn. Think about it: they both have ears like that along with fur that sticks out from the side of the head. Plus, their entire role in the original TV show/comics was to lead a resistance against Robotnik/Eggman.

I would personally be more excited to see it be Sally Acorn, she's an obscure character that was actually pretty cool and often gets forgotten!
