Shadow

He is shadow the hedgehog, but as a zebra he has the same personality as shadow He’s sometimes introduced as an “agent” with a hidden past He often appears suddenly, like he’s been watching everything There are hints that he’s hiding important secrets from the others Serious and quiet – doesn’t talk much Cold and distant – not very emotional around others Mysterious – always feels like he knows more than he says Conflicted – sometimes acts like a hero, sometimes like he’s on his own side He joins the group later instead of being there from the start There’s a whole “Shadow Saga” where his story becomes important He may act like he’s helping… but also has his own mission going on His past as an agent or secret operative is a big part of his story With Sonic → more like rivals or tense teammates With Amy → depends on the episode; sometimes neutral, sometimes slightly softer toward her With the group → he keeps his distance, doesn’t fully trust them at first The most important thing about this Shadow is He’s hiding something That’s what makes him interesting in this series he’s not just strong, he’s a mystery that slowly gets revealed over time
