Sticks the Badger

Sticks the Badger (スティックス・ザ・バジャー Sutikkusu za Bajā?) is one of the main characters in the Sonic Boom series. She is a wacky anthropomorphic jungle badger and a force of nature in every way. Since her childhood, she has lived and flourished alone in the wilderness and is therefore new to friends in general. She eventually formed a strong bond with Team Sonic and joined them as their wild card in their ongoing battles against Dr. Eggman.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) She is incredibly annoying, both in behavior and her insanely raspy voice. She also never shuts up.
 * 2) Three words: Her disgusting habits. Unlike the majority of her species, she likes garbage and hardly ever cleans her burrow.
 * 3) She often annoys the audience with her nonsensical tales about aliens, government agents, and robots taking over. Sure, Eggman wants to take over the world using his robots, but still.
 * 4) Speaking about robots, she once had Eggman's slimebot Buster as a pet and kissed him throughout the episode  with slime staying on her lips. 
 * 5) She doesn't trust technology because she grew up with none of it around, but even worse, she hates it, even the most harmless one.
 * 6) At times, she shows acts of sociopathy and behaves more like an anti-hero than a hero she is supposed to be:
 * 7) * In "Two Good To Be True", she wants to kill Knuckles from the mirror world even after learning who he actually was.
 * 8) * In "Alone Again, Unnaturally", the first thing she asks when everyone believes Sonic to have died is if she can take this hammock.
 * 9) * In "Robots From The Sky" tetralogy she immediately suggests killing Mighton and Bolts after encountering them just because they are robots, even after they protected Badniks from the team.
 * 10) She's basically a poor man's version of Marine the Raccoon. If you take everything that was annoying about Marine in the beginning of Sonic Rush Adventure and put it in this character, you get Sticks the Badger in a nutshell. However, the only difference is that Marine got some character development, redeemed herself and actually became likable in the later parts of Sonic Rush Adventure.

Good Qualities

 * 1) She has a tragic backstory of getting lost and living alone in the jungle for a long time and trying to get along with modern civilization.
 * 2) She does have a cute character design.
 * 3) While she does make this character sound very annoying, Nika Futterman does put great effort in.
 * 4) She does have some funny moments and lines.
 * 5) She is sometimes right about what she's paranoid about, like in "Can an Evil Genius Crash in your Couch for a Few Days?".
 * 6) Like Knuckles, the show would probably not be as good as it is without her.
