Sonic: This apple is the same in my world and Chris's world. It's still delicious.
Velvet: No thanks. I'm full
Velvet: Hmm.....You sure like the ocean.
Sonic: I'm....I'm afraid of the ocean or the sea, but it is full of adventure. I really love it. When I let myself think about what might be over the horizon...It's exciting.
Velvet: My little brother was also afraid of the ocean also loved it too.
Velvet: He would sit on the coast and just stare at it. I told him he'd catch a cold in that ocean wind, but he never listened to a word I said. You very much like him in everything. I wish we could spend more time together even though we're not blood-related.
Sonic: ............................
Velvet: Sonic. Now you can go home. Your legs were fully healed. You know you don't have to do this if you don't want to.
Sonic: Because that's why I will go with you Velvet.
Velvet was once a normal girl living in a frontier village with her brother, sister, and sister's husband, Artorius. But after the events of the Advent, she became a seeker of vengeance and enemy to the world. Her obsession with revenge left her cold and brooding, but she discovers a reason to live during her journey with her companions.
Source<==Saya Kisaragi is a shrine maiden. In her normal life, she goes to school, plays sports, hangs out at the cafe, and anything a normal teenager might do. But it’s all an act. At night, she takes up the sword and goes out to slay Elder Bairns - creatures who drink the blood of humans. She has vowed to stop the Elder Bairns and protect the people of her town, despite the fact she is incredibly bad at saving lives. Fumito Nanahara once stated to Saya that she is special to him, and that she is more important to him than thing else. After her battles, he expresses his concern towards Saya by bringing coffee and guimauve to her. Saya once questioned him about his guimauve asking if they were always pink in color — he mysteriously states it depends what is mixed in them. He is revealed to be the series main antagonist, being the one behind the experiment to see whether Saya would revert back to her previous personality. Unlike his persona in the experiment, Fumito demonstrates himself to be a sadistic and remorseless character who allows his defectors to die violent deaths while being obsessed with Saya and her abilities, but still maintaining a teasing and cordial demeanor towards her. Right after Saya kills Tadayoshi, he unleashes the Furukimono on the town before leaving in his van. When Saya tried to finish Fumito just as he was taking off in his helicopter, he shoots her in the face revealing that the guimauve she loved so much was made from all her killings before leaving her.
Fumito: But aren't there some parts that can change, and some that can't? If we kept those but changed your birthplace, your surroundings, even your memories...if all those things changed, would you still be the same person as before?
Artorius: I see you will not change. Ever a slave to emotion.
Velvet: This is for what you did to Velvet....everyone...and Laphicet!!
Artorius: ''Why is it that birds fly?" Behold my answer, Saya. I ask no forgiveness. This sin is mine to bear.
Velvet or Demon Saya is a standoffish woman driven by vengeance. She is very cold, aloof, and brutally honest about her goals and how she views other people, and her aggressive demeanour especially ignites whenever Artorius is nearby. Saya does not care for human lives and usually acts with cool and businesslike indifference. Saya inevitably shuts herself from all other emotions, viewing them as mere obstacles that would hold her back in her goal to kill Artorius, whom she once loved and trusted. His betrayal ultimately spurred a distrust in Velvet that results in her only using people for her own advantage, initially refusing to form friendships with Laphicet, Syaoran and Sonic.
Source information: Throughout the narrative, the comb served as memory of Velvet deceased brother Laphicet, as well as her late sister Celica (in the novella). However, it could also be a foreshadowing of Velvet’s grim future from the time she was given the comb. Towards the end of the game, that comb breaking could possibly represent moving on from that grief or breaking away from her continuous suffering.
Saya's motherly nature allows her to become an older sister figure of the team, particularly to Sonic. Although Saya's rage keeps her pressing forward and fighting for the one thing she believes will deliver her resolve, she nevertheless holds to her former self in vulnerable moments, often showing a tenderness that surprises her companions, who only know her current self. While she is wracked with self-loathing, believing herself irredeemable and calling herself a "selfish, horrible girl," Saya is aware her actions and even her revenge don’t equate to justice or righteousness.
Amy: Sonic is not the type to love hugging. That's means that only those who really important to him allow to hug and touch him.
Velvet: I am really important?
Chester: He doesn't know yet Velvet...But I think he falls in love with you.
Amy’s not choosing Sonic in this situation because she’s blindly obsessed with him (because – surprise! – she’s not. She has a personality and a set of morals outside of her love for him). Amy isn’t following Sonic down a path of evil. She’s choosing Sonic because she knows that, even if Sonic’s actions are devastating (which, remember, she outright doubts), his actions are for the greater good because objectively, Sonic has a good heart and is always on the right path. Even on her own adventures, Amy knows where she wants to direct her efforts.
Amy thought of Sonic was the same way Sonic thought of Velvet. Amy understands Sonic no matter what he chooses. That's why Amy can trust Velvet because Sonic chose Velvet.
In Sonic's view, It’s her way of fighting not just for her emotions but for what she genuinely believes in that people have the right to free will and reason doesn’t just dictate all. Not because she wants revenge that badly but because it’s either that or she lies down, dies and gives up. Velvet’s strength isn’t just characterized by her Therion powers but by her sheer willpower. In Shadow the Hedgehog’s Dark Story, you fight Sonic and Diablon. Sonic blocks Shadow’s path and states that he won’t let Shadow continue his antics. Sonic does not preach or tell him what’s right or wrong. When Sonic is defeated, he merely asks what Shadow plans to do with the Chaos Emeralds. He again doesn’t preach. He’s accepted his fate that he failed to stop Shadow from destroying the Earth. Sonic focuses on freedom. Therefore, he respected people's judgment no matter how bad it was. Sonic just judges whether his feelings are right or sense.
Velvet: Don't overwork yourself.
Sonic: But....I didn't listen to you again....this is not the first time I did...
Velvet: Don't sweat it. I'm still alive thanks to you again.
Sonic: I can't let you die.....it just felt so wrong...
Velvet: I know. You are the type who doesn't trust anyone easily. I should be the one who is sorry for not listening to you. Acting the way I did. Treating you like an object.
Sonic: I know what kind of person you are but that doesn't mean you're a bad person. You are still good more than Eggman. You still gave me the freedom to choose.
Velvet: Huh....and what would you choose now? We only have more troubles ahead.
Sonic: ........You're still going to fight, aren't you?
Velvet: Yeah. I can't stop now.
Sonic: Then.....I'm coming with you as always.
Velvet: Umm......about "good more than Eggman"...what are you mean by that?
Sonic: When I was in prison for 6 months, he tortured me a lot. He taught mathematics and trained me to make robots. Taught playing games to pass various levels and taught me how to swim without even bothering me with questions. Decoe and Bocoe always support me whenever I need to learn swimming class.
Velvet: ...............(I don't think you should call that "Tortured")
Sonic: Eggman never said anything about why he did that....but he still took me to watch the sky. Eggman told me about the story of King Gilgamesh even though I don't want to know. Sometimes he said he missed someone and thank me for always being with him. Thanked Eggman for his clumsiness I guess. I finally sent the location where I prison to Shadow. And that's how
Velvet: And still.....you still forgive him?
Sonic: Forgive? Nah, never...but I just know this Eggman is a lonely guy that's all. I just always come to break his toys, for Eggman will finally forget his loneliness one day. I can't change him but at least this is what I can do as a friend enemies.
Velvet: I see.....You always see the good in people that's why You can't stop coming and choosing us. You did remain of Syaoran when he beg me to join his team.
Sonic deeply cares about his friends and will risk his life for them without any due consideration. He places everyone on the same level as him and does not show interest in treating anyone differently because of supposed superiority. Because of this, he can come across as rude to figures of authority by speaking to them informally, which often lands him in trouble. Sonic is wholesome. Velvet's heart is kind which even makes Sonic feel warm and care for her.

The main story is similar to Tales of Berseria and connects with Sonic Crowe(Tsofph Season 6) too. Velvet or Demon Saya is Yenco, a non-human that has a body like a human and has the power be able to eat dark energy, poison matter and malevolence. She was herself, with no purpose or any wish. But one day, because she met Chaos, she met Laphicet. Because of Laphicet. She finally, found her purpose to live in this world and wished for someone you want to protect. Saya knows the pain, hatred and despair but she devoured it all and made the choice to move on thanks to Syaoran and Sonic.
Velvet: There is no home for me in this world, after all, I'm a daemon
Syaoran: Velvet-san..You're so quick to accept things and resume moving forward. It's rather incredible.
Velvet: I'm merely acting of my own volition. It helps when you have others who support you. Thank you for remaining by my side, Sonic.
Sonic: I just acting of my own volition.
In Tsofph season 6, After Velvet finally found out who Sonic is. She finally found the balance between the two sides of her, becoming more kindhearted to her friends, but still holding a deep grudge towards those who wronged her. But Velvet never does manage to overcome her self-loathing due to her deep-seated remorse and shame for her actions. She will save the world from falling under Innominat's suppression together with the Syaoran group.
Sakura: Sonic. Are you okay? You look like you're not feeling well.
Sonic: I'm okay…it's just what am I?
Mokona: Oh....Turning existential!
Chester: What's that mean?
Mokona: He's starting to wonder what his place in the world is.
Chester: In that case, there's only one answer. You have to decide it.
Subaru: It's mean...it's all up to you. It depends on what you want.
Velvet: That's what it means to be alive. You control the wind of your life.
Sonic: Now you mention it. I still don't have any goals in my life yet. Amy wants to share the love with the world. Tails want to grow into his full potential to be able to be by my side. But.....
Syaoran: I'll protect you until you find your answer. Your artes have helped us often enough.
Sonic: Okay. I don't really understand... but thank you.
Magilou: Pretty words and all, but take care who you listen to kid. Remem.....
Leia: You're that mad scientist's spy.
Bouns: In Tsofph season 7 story
Shadow: Sonic only trusts Tails, his only best friend. Sonic is stubborn and never listens to anyone but himself. But he trusted you, Syaoran. Because you are an alternate version of Tails.
Syaoran: ....................
Shadow: No wonder Dr Eggman let you go, nor does it contradict your involvement in Sonic's life.
Syaoran: The dimensional witch...umm...Yuko-san once said "Same but different people" People who we've met in our original worlds. Did Sonic meet "Same but different people" and hurt them?
"You're Tails but you're not. Here but gone?"
Sonic: That was Syaoran's memory?
Chester: You finally gain the power.....yes...those are Syaoran's memory.
"The burden is too great. In turning back time, you may be able to change the course of the princess's future. But it would also change the futures of all others involved.
Especially…the futures of those who knew of the mark on the princess. And you would bear full responsibility for that."
Sonic: Chester.....you also......
Chester: I was cold more than you and have a great sin more than anyone else, even more than Sakura.
Chester: As Burklight, the reason I'm with everyone is to take revenge for Ami. I don't care about protecting the world or whatever. If I can just kill Dhaos, I'll be satisfied. Even though I knew Dhaos was not a real villain, my action was still the same as clone back then. If it's not because of Syaoran...I wouldn't be happy.
Sonic: Chester, Velvet and Shadow did the mistake once or even more because you didn't know what was going on. Like me......
Mokona: Syaoran was lonely seeing Mokona and everyone having fun when he was imprisoned. Even though he had everyone, Syaoran never forgive for what he did in the past.
Sakura: But because Syaoran met Sonic. Syaoran became more happy and more cheerful. You are also the same as me. As long as you are here you make people around you happy. That's enough.
Sonic: .......................
Tails: If I hadn't met Sonic, I might become a villain that no one would understand me.
Syaoran: Tails....why would you say something so sad...
Shadow: He's not wrong. Tails was once Dr Eggman's friend so it was natural that he would turn against the world one day. Me too...
Velvet: Kindness is the weakness. When evil or bad aura some around like the darkness, people will fall into it and no one will hear them. That's why I don't care what happens to the world, only my revenge. But I was wrong, both you and Sonic show me that kindness is not a weakness.
Fai: Remember what Sonic-kun said? "I told you before not to burden yourself" I know both of you two had a hard time about "Same but different people" or because Syaoran-kun was the one responsible for Sonic's life. None of these is your fault or because of your action.
Shadow: Even if it is your fault, I will fight like I always have.
Fai: Yep! Right? Kuro-pon.
Tails: Also you want to meet someone who looks like Sonic too. Syaoran will find that person no matter what.
Sonic: Syaoran saw me as golden king and I saw him as Tails. No matter how much I want to forget that feeling....I can't....I miss Tails my little buddy so much that time.....but now....I don't know now....
Sakura: But now.....You still want to go with us....you care for Syaoran not because he is another Tails or an alternate version of Tails. Syaoran did feel the same as you too.
Sonic: .......................he did?
Sakura: With another Sakura.
Chester: So what are you going to do now Sonic? Do you still want to fight with us?
Cream: Mr Sonic! We find another Planet!
Sonic: Obviously, I will.
Sonic: Where's Tails and Chris?
Chester: Also don't forget to confess to Velvet how you love her okay?
Sonic: Chester!!! I didn't...!!
Sakura & Mokona: Good luck!!
Could you draw Sonic wearing Amy`s dress.
swap!
Kurogane: Kids.....You know, answer and refuse.
Amy: At least Tails is also in a cute costume playing the heroine on stage and Marine playing the gorgeous and brave leading role will appear!!
Cosmo: Mr Tails looks so cute!!
Fai: Then I too!! Right, Cless?
Kurogane & Klarth: Don't dare change it!!
Leon & Shadow: (Surrounded by weirdo)
Syaoran: Even if it's pointless, you still have to do it. Because this is the world we cherish.
Shadow: For everyone's sake....realize our wish.
Bouns: In Tsofph Season 9(Final judgement) story
Velvet: "Is there any room in a heart that enjoys the taste of pie for “race” to exist?"
Punch: ...............!!!
Velvet: You've been watching Sonic for a long time. I can't sense any demonic aura inside you. What you and Peter doing here now.......are to save them right?
Velvet: You're a bad actor you know.
Velvet: Your eyes....blue eyes are the same colour as Sonic. You two are the same. Sonic told everyone that you're your real brother in blood but now I finally know what's going on.
Punch: .....................
Velvet: I love Sonic so I can tell. You and Sonic are the same that's why you two had the same existences. And that existence did affect both you and Laphi.
Punch: ..................
Velvet: Your hands were shaking. You're lying. You want to save him.
Punch: I see.....I forgot about you.....You love him the same way as Peter loves me.....that's why I can't hide the truth behind you. Then I won't fight you then. You know Sonic love himself....aren't you?
Punch: So Sonic will find out what I was planning soon. Actually, I don't want to fight because you are Mom's Material. I love Mom material like you so much.....my feeling now...I don't know if this was real or not. Even though we did meet for so long. I still love you just like a part of my family.
Gilgamesh: Aaannnnddd......That's how you feel about her.
Gilgamesh: Next time, don't tell her what you feel okay? She will figure out about me too....geez.
Peter: At least she'll figure out how you love to take a nap and.......Ouch!!!!
Gilgamesh: Shut up. Only Enkidu and you know about me and only me!
