APPEARANCE

Shadow has been noted to resemble Sonic, though he is notably different in appearance. He is a black-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog. He has red eyes, a patch of white fur on his chest, a black nose, a tan muzzle and small and triangular ears with tan canals. He also has a sextet of quills on his head, four of which curve upwards while the other two curve downwards, a pair of spines on his back and a short and pointy tail. He has red stripes on each of his head quills, around the edges of his eyes and on his arms and legs.

For attire, Shadow wears white gloves with black cuffs and red tongues, and Air Shoes which, like his gloves, have black cuffs and red tongues. Shadow also wears gold Inhibitor Rings, one on each of his wrists and ankles.

Because of this, he’s built for speed but also to be the Ultimate Lifeform. • Sleeper build — Faint muscles and strength that reflect his power. • Twink-ish — Despite his strong yet lean build, he is rather thin with slight curves. • Fluffy — Fluffy on his quills and chest fur.

PERSONALITY

SHORT - Independent, loner, serious, blunt, aggressive-ish, cool, brooding, secretly soft, extremely strong with strong willpower and persistence.

Being Sonic's polar opposite personality-wise, Shadow is, bluntly put, a brooding loner. He usually acts with a cool and businesslike indifference, only occasionally showing his vulnerable side. He is rarely seen with others for an extended period of time and usually distances himself from essentially everyone as a natural introvert. He is usually blunt and does not speak much, but he always knows exactly what to say in combat. However, Shadow never bluffs; if he makes a threat, he has every intention of carrying it out.

As the most violent and merciless character in the series at times,Shadow's ruthlessness and aggression leads to enemies never treating him lightly. Alongside his dark and violent demeanor, Shadow can be smug and stubborn. He usually treats others in a very callous manner, throwing in his opinion no matter how cold-hearted it is and not caring for whatever the response is. Shadow is also shown to have a sharp wit.

Just like how Shadow's motivations are never simple to understand, he spends as much time grappling with his own inner demons as he does with his rival, Sonic. In the past, Shadow has had a degree of mental instability, in particular post-traumatic stress disorder. Shadow demonstrated some degree of self-doubt, most notably expressing frustration over how, despite being created as the Ultimate Lifeform specifically to act as a means to cure various maladies, he is still unable to cure his friend Maria, and also admitted to Maria when she desired living on Earth that he's uncertain whether he even has a place on the planet. Similarly, largely because of his being created with Black Arms DNA, Shadow during this time also showed signs of self-loathing, to the extent that he even went as far as to view himself as no different in overall nature to the Death Leech in containment before being reassured by Maria that he does ultimately have a heart.

Shadow originally had disdain for humanity, being a misanthrope, but rarely attacked them outright, merely looking at them as a distant observer. Later on, Shadow decided to protect humanity and those on earth to honor Maria's dying wish despite their original misgivings. Now, Shadow has moved on from the past and decided to protect humanity on his own accord. He does, however, have some lingering guilt over Maria's death, to the extent that he at least once came close to having intrusive visions of a scenario where Maria didn't die before reminding himself that chance ended a long time ago.

Best described as a grim anti-hero, Shadow has a strong sense of purpose and pursues his goals by any means necessary. He possesses a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve these goals once he has set his sights on them, including using lethal force. This natural vehemence, however, tends to blind him with anger and make him prone to reckless decisions. It can also cause him to hold grudges. He also does not tend to take others into consideration, and sometimes his desire for revenge overwhelms his own sense of safety. Being an anti-social lone wolf, Shadow is generally not in favor of team-ups either; although he may occasionally cooperate with others, it is typically for his own reasons and does not guarantee that he is willing to follow orders. He also often leaves without saying goodbye or thanks.

During the many incidents that Shadow takes part in, he pursues his foes with a relentless, unwavering determination. He will usually go to any length to accomplish something he desires or feels should be a certain way, no matter what the cost.

Shadow has a secret soft side he only shows for those he trusts, he can be kind, caring and gentle. It’s rare.

BACKGROUND

Shadow the Hedgehog was created by Professor Gerald Robotnik on the space colony Ark as the "Ultimate Life Form" using Black Doom's DNA to find a cure for his granddaughter Maria's terminal illness. He developed a strong bond with Maria, but after a government raid resulted in her death, he was captured and imprisoned. Freed decades later by Dr. Eggman, Shadow initially sought revenge for Maria's death, but learned to come to terms with it.

Sonic is his rival. They often fight a lot and get into petty arguments, but Shadow ultimately seems to care for Sonic. Shadow and Sonic the Hedgehog are both rivals and allies, as well as the virtual equal of one another. At first Shadow tried to disregard Sonic, but Sonic's quips quickly sparked a mutual rivalry in Sonic Adventure 2. Throughout the game, the feats Sonic accomplishes, such as surviving Eggman's death trap and learning Chaos Control, impressed Shadow, and he began to respect Sonic, giving him his props and asking for his identity before the final battle between them. Since meeting each other, their rivalry has developed, and while it is now usually friendly thanks to Shadow's reformation, the two can still occasionally be at odds.

Despite their uneasy relationship, Shadow is willing to put aside his dislike for Sonic in some situations and help him; he just does not want to dwell on his motivations for doing so later on. Shadow has also been known to listen to Sonic's advises and arguments, and even ponders about them more deeply at times, knowing that as the ultimate lifeform, he cannot allow himself to make mistakes

Shadow is in a team with Rouge The Bat and Omega the Robot, known as Team Dark. They’re a fairly neutral team but fight against evil when needed for their own motivations. Rouge is very friendly with Shadow, and Omega respects Shadow.
