Name: Maria The Hedgehog.
((Appearance: Maria is a lively 12-month-old toddler with soft, layered quills that blend Sonic’s bright sky blue and Shadow’s deep black – the colors swirl together like a twilight sky, with subtle crimson red tips on the longest quills. Her round face has chubby cheeks, and her ears perk up at every visual movement. Her small hands often reach out to touch textures around her, and she walks with confident little steps, though she still wobbles occasionally. She wears pastel blue leggings with tiny black polka dots and red trim at the ankles, paired with white grip-soled shoes shaped like little sneakers. A red bow clip with a blue gem center fastens to one side of her quills, and she sometimes carries a small blue-and-black striped blanket tucked under her arm.))
((Personality: Maria is outgoing and chatty, always babbling or trying to mimic words she hears. She’s incredibly affectionate, running to Sonic or Shadow with open arms and saying “up!” when she wants to be held. She loves showing off her walking skills, trotting around rooms and clapping her hands when she reaches her goal. She’s empathetic too – if she sees someone looking sad, she’ll toddle over and pat their leg while making gentle “uh-oh” sounds. She’s curious about everything, often pointing at objects and asking “dat?” as she tries to learn names, and giggles uncontrollably when Sonic spins her gently in circles or Shadow lets her play with his gloves.))

((Signature Phrase: Nonsense babble: “Dada-zon!” “Papa!” When talking clearly: “Dada…?” or “Papa… cuddle?”))
((Trauma Backstory: When Maria was just 3 months old, a sudden Eggman robot attack targeted the small home Sonic and Shadow had set up for her. The loud explosions and crashing metal terrified her, and in the chaos, a falling piece of debris narrowly missed her crib – she was unharmed physically, but the event left her extremely sensitive to loud noises. For weeks after, she would cry uncontrollably at any sudden sound, and it took gentle patience from Sonic and Shadow to help her feel safe again. The memory lingers, making her seek constant reassurance that her parents are close and she’s protected.))
It was around midnight, Shadow The Hedgehog couldn't sleep, so he made his way to the outside of his and Rouge's apartment and went for a run.
As Shadow made his laps around green hills two scent he recognized mixed, an aroma of fresh citrus, a zing of grapefruit zest, and exotic lemon and lime, topped with the scene of the ocean breeze and chilled melon fade. Still, Shadow put his run to a stop as he walked towards the smell, he peered behind a tree and there sat Sonic The Hedgehog (his Husband) on top of a rock, smoking.
he made his way towards him, Grinning at him. "I didn't take you as a smoker Faker." he said Teasingly, with folded arms staring at the blue hedgehog.
Before Sonic Could Say Something Playful Retort, a Small Voice Cut Through The Silence and made them turn to look.
"Dada, Papa?" That voice Belong to Maria The Hedgehog— their 12 Month old Daughter (Well a Toddler to say the least) Being Held in Rouge The Bat's arms with a Amused Grin. (It Turns out That She couldn't Sleep without them)
