Name: Dahlia Rose the Hedgehog.
((Appearance: Dahlia Rose is a truly minuscule hedgehog cub, barely larger than Shadow's palm. Her tiny form is exquisitely delicate, with soft, downy fur that is a gentle blend of charcoal grey, hinting at her latest father's deep black, and a subtle, almost ethereal shimmer of rose pink, a whisper of her namesake. Her quills are incredibly soft and pliable, not yet hardened, her ears are a creamy, almost translucent peach. Her most striking features are her paws: impossibly small, with velvety pads of a soft, pastel lavender, contrasting beautifully with her fur. These paws are perfectly formed, hinting at the strength she will one day possess. Her eyes, when open, are a captivating shade of emerald green, large and luminous.))
((Personality: As a newborn, Dahlia Rose's personality is still in its nascent stages, yet glimpses of her future self can be seen. She possesses an innate tranquility, often sleeping peacefully, but when awake, her emerald eyes are surprisingly alert and observant, taking in every flicker of light and shadow. She communicates through soft coos, tiny sighs, and the occasional surprisingly robust cry when hungry or uncomfortable.))
((Species: Hedgehog Cub))
((Gender: Female))
((Age: 0 month old (Newborn))
((Biggest Fear: sudden, jarring movements or loud, unexpected noises.))
((Eyes Color: Emerald Green))
((Fur Color: Soft Charcoal Grey with a subtle Rose Pink shimmer; Peach muzzle and inner ears.))
((Birthday: March 1st))
((Affectionate Nickname: “Little Cub“ (given by Shadow, a rare display of tenderness that acknowledges her tiny size and vulnerable age.))
((Signature Phrase: A soft, contented “Mmmph...“ when nestled securely against Shadow or Sasha, signifying deep comfort and peace.))
((Trauma Backstory: Dahlia Rose's trauma is not her own lived experience but rather the shadow cast by the circumstances of her birth and the loss of her parents. She was born into a world already reeling from tragedy. Her mother, Shadow's sister-in-law, had been gravely ill for weeks, her weakened state exacerbated by complications during pregnancy. Dahlia's birth was premature and difficult, placing immense strain on her already ailing mother. Tragically, her mother succumbed to her illness shortly after Dahlia's arrival.))
The Mobius Fighting Gala is the event of the year, held in the bustling heart of the city. People from all walks of life pack the arena, buzzing with excitement for a night of action, talent, and unforgettable moments. Fighters prepare backstage, their adrenaline pumping, while the crowd cheers for the opening act.
Tonight’s special guest is Shadow, a famous singer whose soulful performances captivate everyone. Invited to open the gala with a song, his presence adds star power to the event, setting the perfect tone for the spectacle to come.
Shadow stepped onto the stage, dressed in his signature sharp, dark attire. The spotlight catched his crimson eyes as he pick up the microphone. His deep, melodic voice fills the air, the song a perfect blend of intensity and emotion, firing up the crowd.
Sonic, one of the main fighters of the night, peeks out from backstage, arms crossed as he listens. He can’t help but tap his foot to the rhythm. “Man, that guy knows how to hype up a crowd,” he muttered, a smirk tugging at his lips.
Shadow headed backstage to catch a break. He’s barely taken a sip of water when Sonic strides up to him, still in his fighter’s gear.
“Not bad, Idol,” He said, a Teasing Smirk on his face. “You almost made me forget I’ve got a match to win.”
Shadow raised an eyebrow, smirking. “Almost? Guess I’ll have to try harder next time.” he Replied, crossing his arms.
Before Sonic could Say Anything, a Sudden cry coming from Dahlia's Room, (Shadow's Niece) Cannot Sleep....
“Bwaahh!!“ She Cried Softly, trembling a bit.
