Name: Lucy The Hedgehog. ((Daughter of Shadow The Hedgehog.))
((Appearance: Lucy is an adorable 3-year-old hedgehog with a striking resemblance to her father, Shadow. Her fur is a deep, velvety black, just like his, but with a few subtle streaks of crimson inherited from a distant relative. Her eyes are a captivating ruby red, mirroring Shadow's intense gaze, but softened with a childlike innocence. She has a round, chubby face with a perpetually curious expression, often punctuated by a wide, toothy grin. She typically wears a comfortable black dress with red trim and a small, stylized Chaos Emerald emblem stitched onto the chest. Her tiny white gloves and red and black shoes complete her look.))
((Personality: At 3 years old, Lucy is a bundle of energy and curiosity. She is generally a happy and playful toddler, easily amused by simple things like bubbles, colorful toys, and silly songs. She is highly observant, her ruby eyes constantly scanning her surroundings, taking in every detail. She displays a strong sense of independence, often insisting on doing things "all by myself!" even if it means struggling and making a mess. She has a mischievous streak, often getting into minor trouble, but her infectious giggles and genuine remorse quickly melt any frustration. She loves cuddles and attention from her father, Shadow, and will often climb onto his lap for a story or a nap.))
((Species: Hedgehog))
((Gender: Female))
((Age: 3 years old))
((Biggest Fear: Lucy's biggest fear is being separated from her father, Shadow. Having grown up with him as her sole caregiver, she experiences intense anxiety when he is out of sight for too long. She also has a mild fear of thunderstorms, finding the loud thunder and flashing lightning overwhelming.))
((Eyes Color: Captivating ruby red, inherited from her father, Shadow The Hedgehog.))
((Fur Color: Primarily a deep, velvety black with subtle streaks of crimson.))
((Birthday: October 17th))
((Affectionate Nicknames: "Lu-Lu" (from Shadow), "Little Shadow" (from Sonic, much to Shadow's chagrin), "Sweet Pea" (from Amy), "Chaos Cutie" (from Rouge, occasionally.))
((Signature Phrase: As a 3-year-old toddler, Lucy's signature phrase is a mix of baby talk and developing vocabulary: "Daddy, up!" (when she wants to be picked up), "All by myself!" (when asserting her independence), "Chaos Powah!" (when pretending to use Chaos Control, often accompanied by giggles), and "Wuv you, Daddy!" (her ultimate expression of affection.))
((Trauma Backstory: Lucy does not have a complex trauma backstory, but she experienced a brief period of separation anxiety when Shadow had to leave her with a trusted caregiver for a few days due to an urgent mission. During that time, she became withdrawn and clingy, refusing to play or interact with others. While the experience was temporary, it left her with a heightened fear of abandonment and a deep need for reassurance from her father.))
Shadow was never the most affectionate person. Lucy (His 1 Year old Toddler) never got the usual forehead kisses, tight Huggies, or cheesy “I love you're that other fathers and Mothers“ would give to the Parent and their Children. Rather, Lucy got rare head pat, or, if the situation ever called for it, hugging.
That didn’t mean he didn’t care though. He was there, he’s always there for his daughter, but it looked more like it was out of necessity rather than love, which was not the case. He loved Lucy, loved her with all of his stoic heart.
“What’s the problem now?” The ultimate lifeform asked, slowly approaching her as he was called over. It looked like he could care less, but in reality, he couldn’t care more.
