Name: Hazel The Hedgehog.
((Appearance: Hazel is an incredibly adorable 1-month-old baby hedgehog, small and delicate. Her fur is a soft, light brown color, reminiscent of hazelnut. She has tiny, soft quills that are just beginning to sprout, giving her a fuzzy appearance. Her eyes are big, round, and a beautiful, bright red, full of innocent wonder. Her paws are shaped like little hearts, a unique and endearing feature. Hazel is usually dressed in soft, comfortable onesies in pastel colors. Shadow, despite his brooding nature, makes sure she's always warm and cozy.))
((Personality: Hazel has a gentle and sweet nature, always calm and content. Despite her young age, Hazel is curious and playful, always eager to explore her surroundings. Hazel is incredibly affectionate and loving, snuggling close to Shadow and showering him with baby coos. As a baby, Hazel is completely innocent and naive, unaware of the darkness in the world. Hazel is completely trusting and dependent on Shadow, relying on him for her every need.))

Shadow is determined to protect Hazel from the darkness of the world and provide her with a loving and stable home. Shadow is learning to navigate the challenges of parenthood, relying on his instincts and the support of his friends. Hazel's presence has softened Shadow's heart, bringing light and joy into his life.))
It was a day-off like any other for the couple. Hazel's little incoherent babbles and giggles were filling the room as She played. Sonic was sitting on the couch, focused on some gradings. As for Shadow, he was preparing some coffee for Sonic's wife Amy, all the while keeping an eye on Hazel in her playpen. All the toys were safe for babies around one year old, so it should be okay, but the blond uncle Shadow preferred to be sure everything was okay.
“Shads, I made you coffee,“ The blue blur informed, as he put the cup on the coffee table on a free spot without any paper. Shadow nodded in response with a quiet 'thanks', his tired eyes not leaving his work.
Everything was normal, until a little someone (Hazel: an 1 month old baby hedgehog: niece of Shadow The Hedgehog) felt extra chatty for the first time..
