:star: Is SEGA going to turn Maria into a Hedgehog? :star:

There are a lot of people saying and wanting Maria to be reincarnated as a Hedgehog. Oh why people, why?
I've been hearing lots of this demands from various people, not to mention in Deviantart. For example:

:pointr: "I hope SEGA will turn Maria into a hedgehog"
:pointr: "SEGA should do something about Maria and reincarnate her as a hedgehog"
:pointr: "I really love Maria, too bad that she died. Why won't SEGA turn her into a hedgehog?"

-----------------

:music: Q: Will SEGA turn Maria into a hedgehog? :music:
:music: A: There is a slight chance for SEGA to turn Maria into a Hedgehog. So it is like a 85%-No and 15%-Yes. Or maybe, it might be a disappointing- NO. :music:

----------------

BUT.

:star: If SEGA "DID" turn Maria into a hedgehog, there will be a few illogical things like: :star:

:pointr: Maria was dead 50 years ago inside the Space Colony ARK, her grandfather was caught by the G.U.N soldiers and was sentenced to death when he reached the G.U.N Headquarters (noticed the sound of shooting in Sonic X when he had finished talking), at that time, there was NO genius other then Professor Gerald Robotnik which is unreasonable when Maria was put in some sort of cryogenic tube and it reincarnated her as a hedgehog. If there was a genius and a person back then and put Maria into the tube, then who was it? THERE IS NO GENIUS SURVIVOR in the ARK, they were all killed by the G.U.N soldiers. And if there was a person back then, then he/she must be a genius to know how to activate the cryogenic tube. But, like I've explained before: There is no genius survivor during the ARK attack.

:pointr: If Maria was reincarnated into a Hedgehog, then there would be no motivation for Shadow to keep on with his revenge on humans. That would ruined Shadow's reason to live, to avenge those who killed Maria. I know, a lot of you like Shadow as a bad ass character more than a sweet and gentle creature. Right?

:pointr: During Maria's living, the professors including Maria's grandfather, was during research on Shadow and immortality, Shadow was incomplete at that time (yes, I know he's fully formed and perfect , but he's still not complete okay?), when the G.U.N boarded the ARK and killed almost everyone, Maria survived. It was then a G.U.N soldier spotted Maria hiding, terrified, she ran into the experiment room where an-almost-complete-Shadow was asleep in a tube and released him and ran along with him. There is no logical explanation where Shadow's DNA was shared with Maria when she was put asleep in the cryogenic tube, Shadow was incomplete at that time and Gerald Robotnik didn't took Shadow's DNA.

:pointr: Only majority of the Western fans drew Maria in a hedgehog form, while the Japanese fans drew her as a human (at least the Japanese fans knows Maria better), SEGA  is a multinational video game software developer and an arcade software and hardware development company headquartered in Japan (based on Wikipedia), if SEGA followed the Western fandom to reincarnate Maria as a hedgehog, then what about the Japanese fandom? Will there be an explanation for the Japanese? NO. SEGA is also in Japan, everyone. Don't be so selfish.

:pointr: If Maria is turned into a Hedgehog, what is the reason for SEGA to do so? For her to be paired up with Shadow? In need of more girl Sonic power? No. SEGA can create more Sonic character if wished so (take Wave from the Babylon rouges for example). There is no need to turn Maria into a hedgehog or reincarnate her when SEGA can create more female characters.

:pointr: SEGA has really no need to. No offence to the Maria Robotnik lovers, but it's better if she stays dead. She can now rest in peace and reunite with her family that she yearns to meet and also with her grandfather. Why do you need to change her into a Hedgehog when she can now rest in peace?

:pointr: When Maria died, the ARK was empty and there was no one who lived, some got killed, some got taken back to the G.U.N Headquarters. The people who died there was left to rot. There was no one. Maria couldn't survived. When she had released Shadow into Earth using some sort of capsule, notice that there was a hole there where the capsule was released. She might've dropped from the hole, leaving her dead in infinite space. No one can retrieve her body if so.

:pointr: From *NatariSaru : Even if Maria had survived G.U.N's attack, she wouldn't be able to escape since there was only one capsule left and she was the only one who knew how to release them. More likely, she would've been imprisoned and murdered alongside her grandfather or she would've did from NIDS (her disease) eventually since it is another form of AIDS. Hiding would've also been impossible since the soldiers knew about pretty much every nook and cranny on the ARK and woulv'e found her sooner or later, or she wouldv'e died of starvation since there wouldn't have been nourishment of any kind left after the colony's shutdown had she remained hidden if at all.

-------------------------------------------

:star: There's all what I need to say for now. Think about it yourself with logic. I wrote this not to mess up with the Maria Hedgehog lovers, but rather to make everyone realized that SEGA really has no need to turn her into a hedgehog. Thank you all for taking your time to read this and have a very good day. :star:

P/S: Oh, for surely, I'm not a part of SEGA  so I don't know if SEGA will turn her into a hedgehog, I just stated my explanation of this matter. So don't come yelling to me saying "You're not SEGA, you don't know anything, buh!" like that. Those who reply to this with sensitive comment, then I tell you now not to, why? I'll flag your comment as spam and immediately will block you if needed so. Again, thank you for reading this and have a good day. :)

I guess people wanted her to reborn again as a hedgehog . She may not look like maria anymore though XD (I like Maria as a human more ^^ I really do , but I wont blame the people who want her to return somehow)
I'm not quiete sure about Shadow wants to revenge her . I guess hes leaving the past behind and forgave the humans for what they did. (It seems to be Marias wish after all ^^)

Also I guess someone can create a new Maria if a intelligent scientist (like eggman for example) found something that has Marias DNA Inside. Like a hair or something XD But then she would be also a human again so OnO yeah I can't see why she would look like a hedgehog then XD It would be only possible if Eggman would change her DNA a little bit, making her turn into a hedgehog . But I can't see why Eggman would doing this after all XD He likes Robots , no biological creatures XD I created a maria as a hedgehog story by myself though ( its like I also drawing Sonic and co as humans XD for fun ,yup) but I wouldn't like it if Sega would do this O___O . In my storys she havn't any memories of the past . And she hate Shadow XD(bacause I wanted to make it interresting XD) lol poor one XDDD

But I would found it awesome if a new girl (hedgehog or another animal) would become good friend wih Shadow^^ Now that would be totally fine to me ^^ I would accept that ^^.

I know how you feel, but everyone is talking about how they wanted SEGA to reincarnate Maria as a hedgehog like it's CANON or it's gonna happen so I created this journal to make everyone realize that SEGA is NOT going to turn OR reincarnate her as a hedgehog.

Oh. Well wow lol that's a shame that people really believe it. The Sonic games that they're focused on right now are the racing ones. Maria was in a game that was made like 7 years ago so I don't see why they would bring her back.

Although I do like drawing Maria as a hedgehog sometimes, this really wouldn't work if it became canon. It would ruin Shadow and Maria's sweet backstory, it would ruin the whole point of Sonic Adventure 2. As much as I love Maria, they can't bring her back to life. Remember when they brought Shadow back in Heroes? It made the ending of SA2 much less emotional. The same would happen to Maria.

People think that it would be good for the Shadow/Maria pairing, but I disagree. The reason I like them together is because of their story, and I don't want to see that change. I wouldn't mind if they ever mentioned Maria in a future game since she hasn't gotten a mention since Shadow The Hedgehog, but not this.

If they do end up doing this, they had better add at least some sort of twist or plotpoint to keep it emotional, like maybe she can only stay for a certain amount of time or she loses her memories like Shadow had(Except she can't get them back). Just something to keep it interesting.

Maria will always be a Human,really there's no hope that Sega would do that.
Maria is always a important Part in games when Shadows a Part of the Game. Why should they ruin that? lol...(between I hate her as a hedgehog and I don't know why she is more often drawn with shadow as a hedgehog than as a human. it kills meee x.x)

The hedgehog Maria is like a 'Fanchara' of ALL the Fans. Would sega put our fancharas in a Game? NEVER! They never would THINK about it xD

Yes, Maria will always be a human and stay human. She is an important character for Shadow for Shadow has swear an oath to avenge those who killed Maria, that might ruined everything if she was a hedgehog. When you read all MariaHedge's bio, she has powers almost similar to Shadow. Almost. Which is weird because, hey, Shadow's the ultimate life form, no one can have powers almost similar to him, right?

Yeah, I wished they add more memories of Maria, then we could understand what HAD really happen during the ARK attack and also Shadow's life there before he got to Earth. And yes, changing her death is bad for SEGA, very, very BAD, not only that it'll be a twisted story but also will ruin Maria's sad and tragic sacrifice.

:iconclappingplz:I definitely agree with you about this. Here's some other points people have to consider about Maria's death;Even if Maria had survived G.U.N's attack, she wouldn't be able to escape since there was only one capsule left and she was the only one who knew how to release them. More likely, she would've been imprisoned and murdered alongside her grandfather or she would've did from NIDS (her disease) eventually since it is another form of AIDS. Hiding would've also been impossible since the soldiers knew about pretty much every nook and cranny on the ARK and woulv'e found her sooner or later, or she wouldv'e died of starvation since there wouldn't have been nourishment of any kind left after the colony's shutdown had she remained hidden if at all.

However, I am a bit concerned about what they might do to the rest of the characters once Sonic recieve its 2014 reboot...One one hand, they'll finally be able to clean the slate and dispose of all the unnecessary characters(yes Babylons Rouges, Blaze, and Silver, I'm looking at you >.>) and hopefully reuse many of the characters who shouldn't have been removed (like Big the Cat, Mighty the Armadillo, and Ray the Flying Squirrel). On the other hand, I think it's unnecessary to change Sonic's design, the storyline, or the pals and abilities he's already got. Sonic's still popular despite the crappy new voices and annoying new characters, so it's kinda dumb to give the series a complete overhaul when only a few things need to be fixed. I sincerely hope that SEGA doesn't listen to fans who only like the Robotniks as animals or dislikes all the humans and animalize every human character in the series in case they do keep them. Also, if Robotnik himself were a hedgehog (yes, there's people who actually want him to be one as well as Maria and Professor Gerald), the story wouldn't make as much sense since Robotnik's main priority is to enslave all of Mobius, and if you notice, there are more animals living on Mobius than humans since Mobius is a future version of Earth. I'm sure SEGA won't do such a thing, but it still bothers me that they allowed 4Kids to fire their English voice actors and that they took the fans' "advice" and removed Big the Cat rather than trying to fix his levels and focus on his character more.

While it wouldn't make any sense for Maria to come back, if there's a slight one-in-a-million chance that SEGA does decide to use her again, she'll most likely be in spirit form much like how Tikal and Cosmo were after their deaths(probably as a ball of light). Thank you so much for writing this Eiffa, it really is truthful. You should also link some of our members to the Tumblr and Pixiv pages that have Human Maria to further prove that the Japanese Sonic fandom cares about the Human Maria as opposed to the American Sonic fandom.
