It's thanks to VRoid that I can FINALLY create one of my favorite obscure Sonic characters Sara the cat-girl in a modern style that still captures the era she debuted in to life in 3d!
I feel like I'm one of the VERY few people who DOESN'T hate Sara, of course I LOVE cat- girl characters but at the same time, she cracks me up! "I'll stop being your hostage!" XD and can you REALLY blame her reaction to having to marry Robotnik? And you DO see her actually showing concern about daddy being in danger, despite what she said earlier (NOT cool though! However, I think it was a case of she didn't think that anything WOULD happen due to Sonic always saving the day) and when Robotnik states what he plans to do with Metal Sonic, she doesn't react until he says destroy the Land of the Sky! She may be spoiled, but she's NO monster!
I might be reading too much into it, but I think she has a LOT of potential; she was just written as the "spoiled teenage daughter" character of her time. You just need to give her the right script! Same goes for Amy, Big, Shadow, The Babylon Rogues, Sally Acorn,etc.! Even Chris Thorndyke (Sonic X), Bartleby (Sonic Underground), and Elise!
For example: I'd LOVE to see IDW Comics develop Sara and her dad. They could be a race of cat+human alien people that hail from the Land of the Sky in another zone/dimension that Sonic and Tails pay a visit to thanks to Classic Eggman/Robotnik shenanigans. She could start as a spoiled fangirl of Sonic but eventually realizes her flaws and tries to be not so selfish, even using her status as the President's daughter to help the Resistance/Restoration, and Amy could be a good mentor and friend for her considering that she acted very similarly in her Flanderized days.
She could also collaborate with the top fashion mogul (Like Honey the Cat for example) to inspire a new line based on an updated version of 90's ladies' wear from her homeworld, take some self-defense classes and use her feline traits like scratching up badniks and be a PR agent for the Resistance/Restoration!
As I stated before: she has a LOT of potential to me, and I can SO see her becoming "Spoiled Sweet" after the events of Sonic OVA, a benevolent diva with a heart of gold. ^^
Fun fact: Turns out she is the inspiration for Mimi Tachikawa from the original Digimon anime series BTW, so I was partially right about Sara's potential to become "spoiled sweet adventure girl!"
Although Eggman creeping on her will NOT be replicated in this canon, she actually CAN be his gaming rival and make friends with Orbot and Cubot (and even SAGE) when held hostage! She'd be appearing AFTER the Metal Virus arc to set the tone and character development.
