Shahra



A special, eager young genie/djinn who enlists the help of Sonic. In the game, she grants Sonic special abilities and bonuses to help Sonic in his quest. She appears as a ball of light in the stages, similar to Tikal the Echidna in Sonic Adventure and she appears to have a strong relationship towards Erazor. In the end of the story she is revealed as having a partnership of sorts with Erazor. However, she does not believe this is the "right path" when Sonic wishes for her to "Do what you truly think is right!". When Erazor attempts to sacrifice Sonic, she saves him, sacrificing her own life. Her name suggests the 1001 nights character Scheherazade. She is later brought back to life with Sonic's first wish on the Erazor Djinn's lamp. She has a habit of calling Sonic "Master" even though he prefers her to just call him by name. It is hinted that she and the Erazor Djinn were once in love or were friends, but when Shahra tells Sonic in the Last Chapter, "I just want to go back to him," the former seems most likely.
