Myself 123 wrote: No, they are official characters, not being video game characters has nothing to do with it. Plus, I'm pretty sure both characters were created by Sega anyway. The Sonic Franchise is built around the video games. Being a video game character has everything to do with it. Sally was created by Ken Kinoshita not Sega. Cosmo however was created by the Sonic Team but exclusively for Sonic X just as Sally was made to be exclusive to the show and the archie comics. To be a offical Sonic character they must be created by the Sonic team AND non-exclusive to things outside of the games. They are still owned by SEGA and are still Sonic characters just not Official ones. I get why you want them to be. I love cosmo a lot and wish she was in the games and Sally has become way more exciting since the comic reboot!
