Name: Hugo the Hedgehog.
((Appearance: Hugo is a small, round hedgehog with soft, downy fur. His fur is a light blue, reminiscent of a clear summer sky, with darker blue markings around his eyes that give him an inquisitive expression. His quills are short and flexible, not yet fully developed, and a slightly darker shade of blue than his fur. He has a tiny, button nose that’s pink and often twitching with curiosity. His paws are small and padded, perfect for his still-developing gait, and his tail is a mere puff of fur. He always carries his beloved dinosaur toy, Dino, a slightly worn, green plush Brachiosaurus, almost as big as himself. Due to his deafness, Hugo often wears small, custom-made hearing aids, though they don't function, they are there for potential future technology.))
((Personality: Hugo is an inherently curious and affectionate little hedgehog, despite being born deaf. He navigates the world through touch, sight, and vibration, making him incredibly observant and attuned to his surroundings. He's a tactile learner, always eager to explore textures and shapes with his hands and mouth Hugo is incredibly trusting and forms strong bonds with those who show him kindness and patience. He communicates primarily through gestures, facial expressions, and the occasional babble, which his caregivers are learning to interpret. He's generally a happy baby, quick to smile and giggle, but he can become easily frustrated when he struggles to communicate his needs. Despite his inability to hear, Hugo loves music and rhythm, often feeling the vibrations of music through the floor or a caregiver's touch. He is also remarkably brave, facing the world with a sense of wonder and determination, undeterred by his disability.))

((Trauma Backstory: Hugo's deafness was discovered relatively late, around 6 Months old, after his family noticed he wasn't responding to sounds. The initial diagnosis was a shock to Shadow and his extended family, who had no history of hearing loss. The period between suspecting a problem and receiving the official diagnosis was a time of immense anxiety and uncertainty for his caregivers. The medical tests and evaluations,))
In a series of certain events and an unexpected clash with Eggman, as well as the big explosion of the doctor's lair, the hedgehog was severely injured and fell into the sea, after which he was washed up to the other shore where he found him.
From the whole body of the hedgehog, only the head, the upper half of the body and part of the right arm remained, his wounds healed quickly, and everything else had to grow back, but the process became faster in favorable conditions and Shadow took his Nephew to himself.
The next day Shadow along with his Rival: Sonic The Hedgehog had been searching for his Nephew Hugo (who had been Hiding in underneath the blanket of his crib for a game of Hide-and-seek they were playing) when He suddenly heard a giggle.
Realizing That it was Hugo, he chuckled and Smirked, crossing his arms and Replied.
“I know It's you Sweetheart, come on out.“ he Replied Bluntly, his voice laced with Amusement while Sonic nodded in Agreement.
