Her ears are half covered by her hair. Unless you're talking about the Casefiles episode 4 image since that's her hair clip.
To your other question: While they don't have art, it was confirmed that Mr. Kitsch (museum curator) and Edna Knackerworth (rich lady) are both human.

That's a hair clip?!? I thought it was an ear, haha. All right then.
Ah. Since it was Spagonia (i played some Sonic the Werehog Unleashed so i saw humans in the floating continents) and Gun related, I was wondering if they really were human. Mostly cuz it was introduced like Tori the Fox or Kitsch the Komodo.
A ghost of a young woman risen from the dead...or a holographic AI rebuilt from the code up?
It's time for another installment of the Chaotix Casefiles!

I heard someone comment that the thumbnail colors are probably the colors of the Chaos Rings from Knuckles Chaotix. That would explain why they were so close to the Chaos Emerald colors but off.
While he was already in my top 5, this series has moved Vector to being my third favorite character.
Sage seems to mellowed out since Frontiers considering she was willing to talk to the Chaotix as opposed to jumping to immediate hostility.
With "Red Specter" basically being confirmed to be the Phantom Ruby, it's good to see that the series is trying to stick to the mystery being solvable. This lead also means that Vector is now technically further along on figuring things out than Rogue.
And good on Espio for respecting janitors but it would make sense that the Chaotix would stick up for the little guy.

Heard Casefile 6. From the spoiler tag, would that mean the pertinent game is canon in comic run? So possible to bring the 'classic' characters appearing there into the modern games too?
I'd love it if they were around.
Also, clues are
Wants the astro lens
Can shapeshift
GUN and Eggman want to keep a secret
What else?

I mean, most games will be canon to the comics. It's just that Sonic Team generally tends to keep the Classic era separate both due to timeline and thematics. It's possible but unlikely that more Classic characters will be brought into the Modern era. People are guessing that the culprit is Infinite due to the clues presented and the fact that it was never fully confirmed if he was dead. We'll know next episode how things are resolved.
I still need to watch the latest episode...
Well, you can marathon it, because it's time for the next episode of the Chaotix Casefiles!
"When is a ending NOT a ending? When it's a two-parter!"
"When is a ending NOT a ending? When it's a two-parter!"
The predictions were correct.
It's Infinite...and he hasn't changed. I like the fact that he retained his overblown edginess and the fact that he also retains his insecurities since Vector could briefly dismantle his monologue with simple logic.
With next week's episode definitely being the finale, I wonder how this will be concluded. Pretty sure Espio and Charmy will get their big moments but I'm also wondering if someone will come in for the rescue. Especially since Infinite has such an obvious weakness with the platform in the clouds. My guess would be either Rouge or Knuckles. With Infinite as the culprit, I wouldn't even be mad if Shadow showed up though it would be good if Sega shows restraint.
Of course, the final piece of the puzzle is whoever the benefactor is who got Infinite started. I'm going to make a wild guess and say it was Professor Victoria. She stated that the thief had a connection to Sonic and I could see her hiring Infinite to collect lenses and not realizing his true nature until it was too late--thus needing to scramble and hire the Chaotix. It would fit in with the genre with the person who hires a detective having a connection to the culprit. I could be dead wrong but this would tidy things up a bit.

Don't know who the bad guy is since didn't play the game. Hasn't appeared in the comics either, AFAIK.
In Sonic 85, has the creepy double been given a name yet? Cinos has been used before, right?

I think people have been calling him "Trevor"?
You're joking. (You're joking, right?)
Subsonic would be an OK name but you never know with the fandom. Anyhow, I thought the double was creepy but potential to be cool.
Anyhow, who wrote the Chaotix Casefiles anyway? Did Flynn do that? I feel like, when he writes his comic dialogue, he has to keep it short. This seems to be like the longest Charmy ever has spoken. Voice drama seems like a ton of writing work so he's might be enjoying it. Also, who the hex is pushing Rouge and Espio? Is it really Flynn?

I wasn't, but I saw a trending thing and I thought that I saw that people were calling him Trevor, but I'm having trouble finding any of that now.
But apparently it's a joke. Google "Trevor the Hedgehog" to see why.
And Ian was one of three writers on it.

Even if it is him primarily pushing for this, that's still something that would need to be approved by Sega. The more interesting question is..."why?" There's a number of possible reasons and I think the end of the Chaotix Casefiles will better narrow things down. I also think it's worth pointing out that it's a pretty one sided pairing.
I could see it being one of two things.
One, it might be easier to have Espio be the focus of Rouge's affection, just because he's a side character. Usually, it seems like Rouge is either flirting with Shadow or Knuckles. Both of which are closer to being "main characters". Sega may just rather that Rouge flirt with a side-character, who can't headline their own game, rather than a a character who could, in theory, have enough name recognition to carry their own game.
Or two, it's just simple process of elimination. There's only three characters in the Chaotix (when Knuckles or Mighty and Ray aren't tagging along). Rouge can't flirt with Charmy because he's a child. And Vector canonically has a crush on Cream's mom, Vanilla, in most continuities, so she's probably not going to get too far with him. So, Espio's really the only one left for Rouge to flirt with. He's single, he's fun to mess with since he's pretty serious but not too serious like Shadow, and he has something in common with Rouge in that ninjas and thieves both sneak around. It kind of works.
It's probably Option #2. I doubt Sega has any problem with Rouge flirting with multiple characters, as long as it's kept pretty light and innocent. You never know with Sega, but I doubt it. Option #2 makes the most sense to me. Rouge and Espio are flirting because he's the only character here she could flirt with.
Plus, flirting in a detective noir story is just tradition! Rouge works pretty well as a femme fatale. And a femme fatale who doesn't flirt is no femme fatale at all! Sure, Rouge doesn't necessarily NEED to flirt with anyone for the story to work. But, it adds to the atmosphere and keeps the listeners guessing what her motives are.
Who knows if this "relationship" will continue on in the comics, or anywhere else? Espio doesn't get a lot of chances to show up, period, in the modern day. But, I don't think I'd mind it, myself. We'll see what happens.

Vanilla could have been the femme fatale. Kidding! No way! Haha!
Rouge flirting with Espio isn't just in the Chaotix Casefiles. It's also in the IDW comics. Well, who knows where it will go.
Would love to see Mighty and Ray back. Ray is awesome, Archie wise.

All the clues are there! Can you solve the mystery of who the culprit is? Could it be...the jackal with a giant flying death machine?
...Yeah, this kind of became less of a "detective noir mystery", and more of a "pulp action thriller", at the end, didn't it? Oh well, I always thought The Maltese Falcon needed more evil clones in it, anyway.
It's time for the final episode of the Chaotix Casefiles!

Evan Stanley and Ian Flynn were in the Special Thanks. Darn, I thought Ian would be part of the writing credit.
Ending was OK. All the lead up was more exciting honestly. But hope they do it again. That's already two mysteries that the franchise has in extra media (first being the Murder of Sonic train thing)

I'll admit that the Murder of Sonic had a better actual mystery but this had a better vibe to the mystery. Great overall but I've got a lot of specific thoughts...
The most upfront is that Infinite escaped and we never found out who his benefactor was. Sega's setting something up for the future and I don't know if it's just part of the general rebuilding of Sonic's rogues gallery or if this is all a setup for the next game.
The thing with Rouge being a femme fatale is the question of whether that's supposed to be for the sake of the audience or the characters in the story. If the main importance is supposed to be for the characters, she's kinda dropping the ball. Especially since she was mad she didn't get her way despite the genuine threat Infinite presents. Though the argument is probably "because Team Dark is dark", the writing for Shadow has improved so much in recent years.
Absences kinda stood out. Knuckles only briefly showed up in the beginning and Amy didn't show up at all. I guess it's good that the cast didn't get overloaded since the final battle was kinda crowded. The writers have sorta corrected the fact that Knuckles shouldn't leave the island that often.
It was interesting to see how Professor Victoria's personality was revealed. Duplicitous enough to be grey yet seeming genuine in wanting to do good and also "promote learning". She adds something different to the existing cast that makes me want to see her interactions with others.
And we come to the Chaotix themselves. I liked seeing (well...hearing) them showcase their strengths in the finale ranging from Vector getting to do a Fastball Special with Espio to the Charmy's status as the team wildcard. For as much as it might seem like things reverted to status quo, I get the vibe that they'll be a little wiser for next time. It's been stated that this is a "season" versus a series so we could get more in the future.
