Lanolin, however, refreshingly doesn't follow the same patterns. Aside from Amy (and now Lanolin), the most impressive fighter in Sonic is Whisper the Wolf, but her weaknesses are unfortunately expressions of gendered clichés, including shyness and a debilitating awareness of how she's seen by others. Tangle, on the other hand, is quite an enthusiastic and capable warrior, but this enthusiasm usually results in her making unnecessary mistakes. Belle the Tinkerer is clumsy and doesn't believe in her abilities, so she steers clear of the battlefield. Unlike every male hero who is a proficient warrior and has proven themselves in battle, the Restoration's current leader, Jewel the Beetle, is scared of fighting and therefore chooses to work behind a desk. Previous to this, IDW has struggled with its female heroes. Amy was unable to treat Sonic as one hero under her command, however Lanolin has a very different style - one which is set to tap into the Restoration's full potential. Previously led by Amy Rose (who stepped in after Knuckles the Echidna resigned as Commander of the Restoration), the team was constantly answerable to the headstrong Blue Blur, who has long been the object of Amy Rose's overwhelming affection. Lanolin leadership style finally sets the Restoration up as a force equal to Sonic, not simply his support staff. ![]()
