Blaze

Fiery character name

A blaze is a bright, intense fire: The blaze consumed the warehouse.

By extension, a blaze of light or color is vivid and striking: a blaze of autumn leaves.

To blaze is to burn brightly or shine intensely.

To blaze a trail is to mark a path through wilderness, and figuratively, to pioneer something new.

A blaze is also a white marking on an animal's face, typically a horse.
