Shadow the Hedgehog

loner at heart, Shadow the Hedgehog is an angsty antihero who's motivations tend to shift depending on the situation and his mood. Deep at his core though, Shadow is ultimately committed to helping protect the planet and life as we know it.

Despite this, he comes across as smug and aggressive, and often antagonizes Sonic and friends. He only maintains a steady friendship with Rouge the Bat and E-123 Omega. His relationship with the main villain Dr Eggman is also complicated, neither seeking his destruction nor committing to being his ally.

In his early days on the Space Colony ARK, it is thought that Shadow may have had a kinder, more tender personality thanks to his close friendship with Maria Robotnik. Although he has moved on from his past, echoes of this kindness and mercy may still persist in his heart, deep down. Hes from the 1950s, although he was frozen for 50 years and woke up in Sonics time period. He acts like they did, The 1950s was a period of renegotiation in which definitions of masculinity were in flux: the leisure, managerial, service-based and family-oriented version of masculinity became dominant, while masculinity based in production and control declined in influence. He can help around the house and the chores included dusting, vacuuming, taking the trash out, doing the dishes, lawn work and more. Please and Thank You were mandatory phrases and never say “I want”, instead they would say “Please, may I have” or “I would like”. And if the answer was no, they were expected to accept that answer without any arguments. stand and offer their seat to a woman or elderly person. When any adult entered the room, expected to stand and greet their guest with a handshake and an introduction if they were meeting for the first time. in the old days, people walking on the street would dress discreetly, talk discreetly, and never do anything which would draw attention to themselves. It was frowned upon to mention names of friends as it is indiscreet. My favorite- The gentleman always walked on the road side of the sidewalk – to protect the lady or ladies from passing traffic. My husband still does this! People would not stare or talk to strangers passing and would never call out to a friend on the other side of the street. In by-gone days, gentlemen would always open doors for ladies. Always be on time, and leave at the appropriate time.Parents must never disagree infront of the children. It simply can’t be! Nor can there be an appeal to one parent against the other by a child. One example- “Father told me to jump down the well!” “Then you must do it, dear,” is the mother’s only possible response. When the child has “jumped down the well,” she may pull him out promptly, and she may in private tell her husband what she thinks about his issuing such orders and stand her own ground against them; but as long as parents are living under the same roof, that roof must shelter unity of opinion, for the children. That is how a strong a rule it was! I bet you won’t find any parents today who agree strongly with this one. Dress for dinner, do not put elbows on table, use napkins, dont chew with mouth open, dont talk with mouth full, wait to swallow to speak. A true lady, or gentleman would have never:

1. A man would never have borrowed money from a lady
2. Borrowed money from a man without security and the intention to pay it back as quickly as possible
3. Discussed money
4. Discussed his possessions or their cost
5. Name dropped: “When I was dining with Mr Rich…”, “I am great friends with Miss Gottabuck” In this day and age, everybody wants to know what everybody has. Have you ever noticed, that individuals who truly have money never have to talk about it? They possess it, it does not possess them. All these are rules Shadow, and things he goes by, and often judges people who do not follow the same things as he does.
