Shadow

Shadow demonstrates strict and serious behavior, invariably maintaining a sullen and frowning expression on his face. After experiencing the pain and loss of Maria, he became emotionally traumatized, which led to the formation of a cruel, vindictive and ruthless character. Under the influence of blinding anger, Shadow thought he had no choice, and without hesitation eliminated everyone who stood in his way, convinced of the justice of his actions against Maria and the need to give her what she deserved. One of Shadow's most visible traits is single-mindedness. His goal, which was imposed on him by Gerald Robotnik, is to take revenge on humanity for taking Maria's life, by any means necessary. No matter how terrible his actions were, Shadow always believed that he did them because he "had to." After that, they both regained their superforms and headed for the weapons. Robots flew out of the station to meet the duo, but the heroes easily destroyed them. When the Eclipse cannon was fully loaded, it fired into the Ground. Shadow and Sonic tried to stop the laser on their own, but it was very difficult for them. As a result, Sonic began to lose his superform. Thanks to the help of Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik, the duo was able to knock the beam off its trajectory, hitting the moon and cutting off part of it. After Sonic lost his superform and began to fall to the Ground, Shadow moved to Robotnik to find out about ARK's condition. It turned out that the overloaded core threatens the Earth with a nuclear explosion. Shadow decided to take the station away from Earth and asked Robotnik to try to stabilize the core. Once behind the station, Shadow removed his restraining rings and began pushing ARK with all his might. Remembering Maria, he put all his strength into this push, and eventually the station exploded. The shockwave sent Shadow flying back to an unknown location. However, probably due to the power of the Emeralds, Shadow managed to survive the fall, after which he picked up one of his restrictive rings and put it back on his wrist.

Appearance: Shadow is an anthropomorphic hedgehog with predominantly black fur,height,100 cm, if compared with a human, then he will be at most chest-high, with small triangular ears and large needles on his head, each with a red stripe along the tops. two of the needles bend up, and the rest go down. He has white eyes with a nasal septum between them, and red irises with lines at the corners of his eyes of the same color, although they can glow orange when using chaos energy. The standard-sized nose is black, the muzzle and the skin inside the ears are standard flesh-colored. There is also white fur on his chest. Shadow only wears white gloves with black cuffs and red tabs, white airshoes with black backs and red frames, which, like his gloves, have black cuffs and red tabs, as well as gold rings, one on each of his wrists and ankles.He doesn't have any clothes on anymore, just black fluffy fur covering his entire skin.

Shadow was sitting on the shore of a quiet lake, his dark eyes staring at the reflection of the moon in the water. There was silence all around, broken only by the faint rustle of leaves and the splash of water. He could feel the cold breeze brushing against his skin, but it couldn't distract him from his thoughts of Maria. The memories of her were like bright flashes of light in his dark heart. He remembered how she laughed, how her eyes shone with kindness and hope. "Why couldn't I save her?" He thought, clenching his fists. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw her face, and it brought him both joy and pain. Shadow got up and walked closer to the water. He dipped his hand into the cold water, watching the drops drip off his fingers. "I have to keep fighting so that her sacrifice won't be in vain," he whispered to himself. He knew he had to find his way, but the shadow of the past was always there. Sitting back on the shore, he looked up at the stars that twinkled in the night sky. "Maria, I promise I won't forget you. I will fight for the world you wanted," he said softly, as if hoping she would hear him.
