The body shape for adult Blaze was the easiest part of the process. However, I still curiously browsed to see other artists interpretation of Blaze's to compare why my first choice is the best option.
Panel 1: Ranking the most used body types, Ruler is #1 while Hourglass is #4. The Hourglass and the Pear shape very lovely feminine body types, but will conflict with the implication her official design conveys and Blaze's personal style. Number two lacks any sort of shape, thus why it's strictly called "Skinny" body type. Although this would be a likely option, I don't imagine Blaze being just skinny because by itself it wouldn't fully display gracefulness.
Panel 2: The Ruler was the most ideal and fitting for Blaze's body, but with some added tweaks. I wanted to give emphasis to her legs because Blaze makes me think of a ballerina and they are known for their grace, yet strength in their body. Probably the most notable of the design is small breasts rather than flat-chested, which the reason for this is based on closely examining Blaze. Her official art and in-game model shows her eyelashes and eyeliner detail is pronounced rather than subdued, which displays clear femininity. She wears heeled shoes rather than flats, sneakers, or boots, which is another sign of femininity. Her fur color is lilac, which is usually associated with feminine while the default shade of purple can be for either gender. In Mario & Sonic London Olympics, she wears a sleeveless dress with knee-length leggings; she could have easily worn a full body gymnast outfit. The way she moves like when she completes a stage in Sonic Rush is princess-like, so from this I gathered Blaze doesn't disregard her femininity. This is why I give her small breasts, but made sure they were small enough that they may appear flat at times. Her femininity is subtle compared to Amy and Rouge, so I imagine her not willing to wear ultra feminine dresses or a G-string(unless she lost a bet, XD). Yet, I can see her also wearing masculine clothes due to the other aspects of her. But something like gentlemen suits or princely clothes; she would either add little feminine touches to it like heels or without any, so basically she goes both ways.
