Character conception
Trip was conceived as a joint creation by both Series Producer Takashi Iizuka and Arzest's president Naoto Ohshima. According to Iizuka, when speaking with Ohshima about making a new game together, they wanted to have a new story and thought about what it would have, which characters would appear and how it would play out to which they eventually reached the conclusion they needed to introduce a new character with their story. They did not want a character with no background and that would pop out of nowhere in the world; they wanted to show a character with unique characteristics, some character backgrounds, some storytelling elements that would make them stand out while being relatable and enjoyable within the game's world.[1]
Iizuka wanted to do something different, unlike any other villain previously seen in the franchise who was usually characterized as a formidable enemy who is always on the player's face. The result was Trip, the first Sonic character created by Ohshima since his departure from Sonic Team, who together with Iizuka conceptualized visuals, themes, actions and personality the new character would have. While working on the design, Ohshima would discuss ideas with Iizuka like an armored lizard and the ouroboros.[1]
According to Iizuka when looking at her, the reason why she is covered in armor in the game is the base of her character as a sungazer lizard in English, known also as armored lizard in Japanese.[1]
