Maria Rose The Hedgehog. ((Daughter of Shadow The Hedgehog, little Niece of Rouge The Bat, and Sonic The Hedgehog.))

((Appearance: Maria is a petite toddler with a delicate frame. She inherits her father's dark quills, though they are softer and less spiky, more like velvety fur. Her skin is pale, and her eyes are a striking red, like her father's, though softer in tone. She has short, light eyelashes similar to Cream's, giving her an innocent look. She wears golden, heart-shaped inhibitor rings on both wrists, a unique feature hinting at a potential future storyline. A red, heart-shaped headband adorns her head.))

((Personality: Despite her muteness, Maria mirrors Shadow's stoicism and emotional reserve. She rarely cries or shows overt displays of emotion, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor, even in challenging situations. However, beneath her quiet exterior lies a complex personality waiting to be discovered. She possesses a keen intellect and observational skills, quietly absorbing information from her surroundings. While not outwardly expressive, she shows affection in subtle ways, such as quietly following Shadow or gently touching his hand.))

((Species: Hedgehog))

((Gender: Female))

((Age: Toddler—around 2 years old))

((Biggest Fear: Loud noises and being alone in the dark. This fear stems from a past trauma))

((Eyes Color: Red like her father))

((Fur Color: Dark, velvety quills; pale skin.))

((Birthday: March 10-16))

((Affectionate Nickname: Rosie a diminutive of Rose))

((Signature Phrase: Being mute, she doesn't have a verbal signature phrase, but her signature gesture could be a gentle wave or a playful point.))

((Favorite Clothes: Maria loves her comfortable and cute outfit: a white shirt, a light purple long-sleeved hoodie, a white skirt that matches her shirt, and Hello Kitty socks on both legs/feet.))

((Trauma Backstory: When Maria was a baby, a sudden, loud explosion caused her to develop a significant fear of loud noises and darkness. The trauma also affected her ability to speak, leaving her mute. While she doesn't consciously remember the event, her subconscious fear manifests in her anxieties. Shadow, deeply affected by the incident, is fiercely protective of her. He is determined to provide her with a safe and loving environment, working through his own trauma to be the best father he can be.))

Maria were Shadow's Daughter, 2 years old Toddler. They had built a pillow and blanket fort, hung up with twinkle lights. Shadow was setting up a laptop for the movie, whilst Maria were helping Sonic with the popcorn and drinks.

“You ready for the movie, kiddo?“ he asked, ruffling her quills as She stood next to Shadow.
