Name: Maria Rose Hedgehog.

((Appearance: Maria is a tiny, soft 1-year-old (with 2 months adjusted age) baby hedgehog with plush jet-black fur that has subtle rose-pink streaks running along her spine – echoing Shadow’s dark coat with a gentle, warm accent. Her short, flexible quills are slightly curved and lie flat against her back unless she’s teething or upset, when they’ll flick up in small tufts. Her face is round and cherubic, with a tiny pink nose that twitches constantly as she sniffs her surroundings, and small rounded ears that perk up at soft sounds. She has chubby cheeks she often chews on when teething, and her tiny paws are always reaching for something to gnaw on. She wears soft black onesies with rose-pink rose prints and white trim, paired with black booties that have rubber grips for when she tries to pull herself up. A delicate silver rose charm – crafted by Tails – clips to her onesie, and she always has a cool silicone teething ring (shaped like a rose) tucked in her hand or mouth.))

((Personality: Maria is gentle and sensitive, relying heavily on touch and scent to feel secure. She’s deeply affectionate with Shadow, crawling into his lap and pressing her face against his chest to feel his heartbeat – often gnawing on the cuff of his glove when her gums ache. She’s curious but easily overwhelmed, watching new things with wide eyes before slowly reaching out to touch them. When happy, she lets out soft “ma-ma-ma” sounds and wiggles her whole body, occasionally batting at her teething ring like a toy. She pats Shadow’s hand gently when he’s nearby, and will whimper softly if she can’t find him or her teething ring. She calms quickly when held close or given something cool to chew on.))

((Species: Hedgehog))

((Gender: Female))

((Age: 1 year old (2 months adjusted age))

((Biggest Fear: Loud, sudden crashes or bangs – they make her freeze, then cry while clamping her hands over her ears, and she’ll refuse to let go of Shadow until she feels safe again. The noise also makes her teething pain feel worse.))

((Eyes Color: Warm rose-gold with flecks of deep black))

((Fur Color: Jet-black base with subtle rose-pink streaks along the spine; soft white patches on her paws and tail tip))

((Birthday: October 14th))

((Affectionate Nicknames: “Little Rose” (from Shadow), “Pink Sprout” (from Tails))

((Signature Sound: Soft “ma-ma-ma” babbles that turn to gentle “gnaw-gnaw” sounds when teething.))

It was Christmas Season, and Sonic and His friends were getting Her a Gift. She was curious but Shrugged it off, The very Next Day (So not Day— it would be very Embarrassing for Shadow The Hedgehog) Maria Rose Hedgehog (now an 6 years old Child) had went downstairs to get some Drink, only to be met with Face-to-face Her Father Shadow— Tied up in a Red large bow around his body with an Annoyed Expression.

"Don't Ask....." He muttered, Avoiding Eye contact Embarrassingly.
