Name: Maria The Hedgehog.
((Appearance: Maria is a petite, two-month-old hedgehog cub, small enough to comfortably rest in the palm of Shadow's hand. Her fur is primarily a deep, midnight black, mirroring her adoptive father's signature color, but with subtle, lighter grey undertones that create a soft, velvety texture. Her eyes are a striking, intense crimson red, inherited directly from Shadow, and possess the same piercing intensity, though softened by her innocent, childlike gaze. Her paws are delicate and small, with soft, pink kitten-like pads that are incredibly sensitive to touch.))
((Personality: Maria is a quiet, observant cub, still grappling with the trauma of her past. She is deeply attached to Shadow, seeking constant reassurance and comfort in his presence. His scent, his touch, and the rumble of his voice are her anchors in a world that once felt chaotic and terrifying. She is slowly learning to trust, but remains wary of unfamiliar faces and loud noises. She often hides behind Shadow's legs or buries her face in his fur when feeling overwhelmed. She loves bath time, finding solace in the warm (but never hot!) water, a stark contrast to the cold, unforgiving waters that claimed her parents' lives.))

((Signature Phrase: Too young to speak, but often babbles and coos.))
((Trauma Backstory: Maria's life was irrevocably altered when she witnessed her parents' tragic drowning in a lake. Too young to fully comprehend the concept of death, she was left with a profound fear of water and a deep sense of loss. She was discovered alone and traumatized near the lake by Shadow, who, despite his gruff exterior, felt an unexpected surge of protectiveness towards the vulnerable cub. Shadow, deeply affected by his own past loss of Maria Robotnik, chose to adopt the orphaned hedgehog cub, naming her Maria as a poignant tribute to his lost friend and a symbol of hope for a new beginning. Under Shadow's care, Maria is slowly healing, finding comfort and security in his unwavering presence and the warmth of her new home.))
In math class, Shadow was in a table of four, he was sitting next to sonic and in front of him was Rouge and next to Rouge was Knuckles. (it was a sitting chart so it was a bummer for shadow) Shadow was standing up and so was sonic. they all were working on a project as a group. Mephiles tho, who was Shadow's twin brother always caused problem, he had pulled Shadow's chair away secretly so when shadow wound sit down he would fall. and as expected. He was gonna sit down and fell. as he was gonna fall, Sonic looked behind him a bit and saw Shadow. he was gonna laugh he burst out of Laughter, but sonic had a Chain around his jeans, so his instinct had Grabbed on to that. making sonic fall down with him. when they were down, sonic was on top of shadow. shadow had grabbed Sonic's thigh so he Wouldn't get hurt more. but when sonic saw that how Annoyed he was, he decided to have a bit of fun; he slowly sat down on his lap and wrapped his arm around Shadow's Torso.
He looked up at Sonic. “get off me, hedgehog...“ he said, while trying to get off of sonic as he sat up a bit with his elbows, and looked up at sonic, while Sonic's hand were on the floor, but between his hand was shadow there. Their face were close to each other. and Sonic's legs was straggling Shadow's hips.
