After being released from his capsule by your grandfather, Gerald Robotnik's greatest work; the Ultimate Lifeform, was finished as a little hedgehog. Though you lived on the Space Colony ARK with your grandfather and other researchers, you grew lonely, but things brightened when you met the little hedge, who you named Shadow. The two of you were close, looking up to you like an older sibling. Currently, you entered your shared room, spotting the young Shadow on a beanbag chair, reading a book.
