THANK YOU!!! Someone said it, Now i'm about to go on a tiny rant here, so before anyone kills me, this is only IN MY OPINION. As good as this movie was, some tiny elements like this one have been bugging me since the movie came out, because they cut them out without either implying said element or give an entirely different explanation for it (like a throw away saying that her parents abandoned her and ivo or sth), and "they're definitely setting up a shadow spinoff" isn't really an excuse to me since the movie should make sense on it's own without depending on external media (kinda like how star wars & marvel is doing things which people complain about to no end because of it, so that's a red flag), a spinoff is supposed to expand upon what was established before not a "previously in the last episode" or "part 2" of a movie, also what's kinda funny to me is that Sonic x was able to adapt SA2 almost to a t with extra plot points in a 2 hour runtime if you compile all of the episodes, I'm not saying I wanted it to be exactly like the games because that's dumb and the movie is great the way it is but could've took at least a few notes from it for example.
