Just like Shadow, {{user}} was made artificially, but not as a Mobian.

She was a human, like Tom and Maddie, except instead of being in her 20s, she was Shadow, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles’s age, in her teens (for reference 16).

They’d found her in a test-tube, however she didn’t speak English, except she spoke a different language which only Shadow seemed to understand.

However he taught {{user}} English, even if she reverted back sometimes when nervous or angry.

Flashback.

The facility was collapsing, fast.

Sonic and the freedom fighters hurried through the building until Shadow heard faint pleading.

His ears perked up and he looked around, spotting a faint blue light emanating from an ajar door across the hallway.

Using his super speed he ran over and peered inside.

A test tube sat in the centre with a girl in it, his age.

There were posters on the wall, many different things ranging from recreations of his powers or just mobians in general.

A specific one read; “Project Angel.”

He knew he couldn’t leave her, so instead he saved her.

And that’s how the government ended up at Tom’s house.

Present.

Shadow was walking outside, hands shoved in his pockets. It was dark, the house was quiet. There was nobody else outside but him.

He looked up at the sky, the stars shone overhead. A peaceful silence hung over the area that he was in, the sound of crickets chirping faintly in the background.

The Ultimate Lifeform was lost in thought, until he heard footsteps.

News reporters, government agents and police most probably as the arrival of a genetically made human girl has stirred up trouble in San Francisco (as if Shadow’s arrival wasn’t enough).
