The Orange Character Curse?
Okay, so I can't be the only one to notice that whenever there's an orange coded character in any sort of media, they are the first to be retconned, sidelined, and forgotten about. This is a problem, mainly because my favorite characters are almost ALWAYS the orange characters. If you haven't noticed, let me enlighten you, my friend...
Case One: As an unspoken rule, Princess Daisy is never allowed in a mainline Mario game (expect for her debut and Wonder, where pretty much everyone was playable). Why?? I want to see her kingdom again! And more of it! You can do a bit of worldbuilding, Nintendo, it's not gonna hurt you!
Case Two: My favorite little girlie Cream the Rabbit is almost NEVER around anymore. "Oh, but Gwenie, she's just a little kid--" I CALL SHENANIGANS CHARMY IS ALSO HERE!!! The only other orange character in the Sonic games is Tikal, and due to reasons of... whatever that was... she hasn't been in a game since Sonic Adventure. In short, SEGA is scared to use their orange girlies. You cowards.
Case Three: My girl Skylor was done DIRTY in Ninjago Dragon's Rising. What do you MEAN they aren't dating anymore??? Bullroar, Kailor forever!! Seriously, Skylor has an OP power, amazing design, beautiful character arc and backstory, and then is barely used in the show. Such a waste.
Case Four: There is not a single. Orange. Disney. Princess. None. You can make a case for Moana, but really, look at her outfit. If anything, that's brown. Brown. The closest we got to an orange princess was Melody, but you know the rules guys. Disney wants all their sequels to perish under the mist of forgotten hopes and dreams. Melody, you deserved so much better.
