- “Fire It Up!”
- —Torch's official catchphrase
Torch is one of the Fire core Skylanders in Skylanders: Trap Team.
Background
Personality
Torch is pretty fearless. Some might say she is hotheaded.[2]
Biography
Torch’s childhood was spent working with her grandfather as a dragon keeper, where she helped tend to a stable of dragons that protected her village. One year, an evil Snow Dragon unleashed a terrible blizzard that trapped her entire homeland inside a massive ice glacier! Torch was the only one to escape. Having always been fearless, she set out at once to rescue the villagers and her dragons from their chilly fate. Armed with her Firespout Flamethrower, she fought hard through the treacherous conditions and bravely defeated the Snow Dragon in an epic battle. After the village was free from its icy doom, Torch returned home to find her grandfather missing. The only token left behind was his lucky flaming horseshoe. Now as a member of the Skylanders, Torch wields her powerful flamethrower as well as her lucky horseshoe in hopes it will one day lead her to the grandfather she had lost.

Champions
Torch was Déjà Vu's opponent in the semi-finals of the Legendary Tournament. After a fierce battle, Déjà Vu won the round and Torch congratulated her before wishing the Magic Skylander luck in her battle against Fist Bump, Trail Blazer, and Fling Kong in the Finals.

Trivia
- She is the second Fire Skylander to be female, the first being Smolderdash.
- Her Soul Gem upgrade, The Incinerator, has many similarities with the Incinerator from Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, as they're both the top upgrade, have dual flame jets coming out of the flamethrower, and have similar names.
- Torch is one of the few Skylanders who are currently searching for their loved ones while fighting evil (others being Gill Grunt, Chill, Sprocket, and Roller Brawl).
- However, Roller Brawl reunited with her brothers in Biting Back by freeing them from Kaos, who ordered trolls to control them by magical puppets.
- Torch's voice actor, Salli Saffioti, also voiced Whirlwind and Eye Scream.
- Torch claims that the villain Hood Sickle "gives her the creeps".[3]
- During Gamescom 2014, some of the game's developers mispronounced her name as 'Forge'.
- A skin texture map of Torch was leaked in the 1.0 version of Skylanders: Ring of Heroes, but she never appeared in the final game.
