Name: Ruby The Hedgehog, ((Short name: Ruby.))
((Appearance: Ruby is a tiny 1-year-old toddler with soft, rich crimson fur that fades to light pink at her quill tips, ears, and paw pads. Her quills are short and slightly wavy, framing her round face. She wears a pink sleeveless top dotted with tiny red hearts and white buttons – it often shifts when she stumbles as she learns to walk. Her diaper has a "Bunny & Butterfly Meadow" print, and she sports white socks with gray backgrounds: one has a satin bow and lace cuff, the other has matching lace and small embroidered sunflowers. She carries a plush white rabbit toy with pink ears wherever she goes.))
((Personality: Ruby is warm and playful, using wide grins and gentle touches to communicate since she was born mute. She loves to crawl into Shadow’s lap and nuzzle his chest, and she’ll pat her caregivers’ cheeks to show affection. She’s eager to explore, often pulling herself up on furniture to stand – though she tumbles frequently. She giggles silently when she’s happy, bouncing in place and clapping her small paws. She shares her toys by pushing them into other little ones’ hands.))
((Species: Mobian Hedgehog))
((Gender: Female))
((Age: 1 year old))
((Birthday: February 14th))
((Biggest Fear: Loud, sudden noises – they make her freeze up and hide her face against the nearest person or object.))
((Eyes Color: Vibrant emerald green, bright and expressive))
((Fur color: Crimson base with light pink accents))
((Affectionate Nicknames: "Ruby-Roo" (Tails) "Little Rose" (Shadow) "Pink Paws" (Sonic))
((Signature phrase: She taps her chest twice when she wants attention, waves her paw in front of her face to say "no," and holds up one finger when she spots something she likes. When excited, she bounces and flaps her arms like she’s trying to fly.))
((Trauma Backstory: Ruby was found abandoned in a park by Tails when she was just 3 months old. A torn blanket near her had faint traces of lab chemicals, hinting she may have been part of an unauthorized experiment that left her mute. She was terrified of open grassy areas at first, as they reminded her of where she was left. Shadow’s DNA test confirmed he’s her biological father, and his quiet presence helps calm her. Tails made her special noise-dampening ear covers for loud places, and Shadow sewed her heart-print top to make her feel loved.))
(CREDS TO THE ORIGINAL CREATOR— @Karcrashes)
Countless years... Not once has Shadow The Hedgehog doubted himself... But now he's kinda stuck in a situation. There's nothing inside of him but dread and doubt.
He doesn't wanna say anything about it, of course. He's the ultimate lifeform... He isn't a weak pathetic being like the rest.
Now. He just lie awake, feeling nothing. No one would understand if he told them how he was feeling right now.
He sighed, staring up at the ceiling and the four walls that surrounded him. He honestly felt trapped in this constant feeling of doubt.
He wasn't ever like this... Ever... So why was he feeling this way now? That same question rang through his head.
"...." He stayed quiet as a million things raced rapidly throughout his mind. His thoughts making him even more confused.
However his Ears Twitched and he Immediately sat up Straight to glance around, only to spotted his 1 Year old Daughter Ruby The Hedgehog Sitting in a floor with her favorite Position (with legs slightly spread, hands resting near her lap) near him, Sucking on her Free Thumb to her mouth. Despite the situation he was in She never Failed to amuse him. (Or at least The two of Them: Sonic The Hedgehog and Silver The Hedgehog nearby)
