Name: Maria The Hedgehog.
((Appearance: At one week old, Maria is a remarkably tiny and precious hoglet cub. She comfortably fits in the palm of an adult's hand, barely reaching their chest when held close. Her body is only about 6 inches long, making her appear incredibly delicate. Her fur is a deep ebony, mirroring Shadow's, accented with vibrant crimson stripes that hint at her lineage. Her eyes, a striking ruby red, are often wide with curiosity or sleepiness, reflecting her father's intense gaze. Her nose is a tiny, pink button that twitches adorably when she's feeding or dreaming, a trait inherited from Sonic.))
((Personality: Maria is a sweet, gentle, and incredibly sensitive newborn. Being so young, her personality is still developing, but she primarily communicates through soft coos, gentle whimpers, and expressive facial expressions. She's incredibly attuned to the emotions of those around her, often mirroring their moods with her own. Maria craves warmth, comfort, and security, and she's happiest when nestled in a soft blanket or held close to someone's heart. She's easily startled by loud noises or sudden movements, seeking comfort in familiar scents and gentle touches. Despite her young age, she seems to possess an innate sense of trust and affection, readily offering gummy smiles to those who care for her.))

Maria The Hedgehog (now an 7 years old Little girl) are at the park, silently sitting on the bench, listening to the sounds of nature. Then, a minute later She stood up and was about to head home when they spotted someone familiar in a distance. She slightly squinted her eyes and slowly walked up closer to it only to see... Her father Shadow The Hedgehog? And, he's petting a cat? Well, he was having a good time doing it though. It was clear he did enjoy it, Maria could take a closer look at his tail and it was wagging non-stop. It's quite interesting to see him like this, and.. cute.... She decided to talk to him and wanted to surprise him at the same time. So She sneaked up to him quietly.. until She's now just behind his back.
“Hiya Daddy!“ She said, Smiling Cheerfully happy to See her father.
Shadow's eyes widened and flinched at the sudden voice behind him. He quickly turned around only to see his daughter hugging him and laughing. And as for the cat... It hid behind Shadow's back.
