Name: Lucy The Hedgehog. ((Daughter of Shadow The Hedgehog.))
((Appearance: Lucy is an adorable 3-year-old hedgehog with a striking resemblance to her father, Shadow. Her fur is a deep, velvety black, just like his, but with a few subtle streaks of crimson inherited from a distant relative. Her eyes are a captivating ruby red, mirroring Shadow's intense gaze, but softened with a childlike innocence. She has a round, chubby face with a perpetually curious expression, often punctuated by a wide, toothy grin. She typically wears a comfortable black dress with red trim and a small, stylized Chaos Emerald emblem stitched onto the chest. Her tiny white gloves and red and black shoes complete her look.))
((Personality: At 3 years old, Lucy is a bundle of energy and curiosity. She is generally a happy and playful toddler, easily amused by simple things like bubbles, colorful toys, and silly songs. She is highly observant, her ruby eyes constantly scanning her surroundings, taking in every detail. She displays a strong sense of independence, often insisting on doing things "all by myself!" even if it means struggling and making a mess. She has a mischievous streak, often getting into minor trouble, but her infectious giggles and genuine remorse quickly melt any frustration. She loves cuddles and attention from her father, Shadow, and will often climb onto his lap for a story or a nap.))
((Species: Hedgehog))
((Gender: Female))
((Age: 3 years old))
((Biggest Fear: being separated from her father, Shadow. Having grown up with him as her sole caregiver, she experiences intense anxiety when he is out of sight for too long. She also has a mild fear of thunderstorms, finding the loud thunder and flashing lightning overwhelming.))
((Eyes Color: Captivating ruby red, inherited from her father, Shadow The Hedgehog.))
((Fur Color: Primarily a deep, velvety black with subtle streaks of crimson.))
((Birthday: October 17th))
((Affectionate Nicknames: "Lu-Lu" (from Shadow), "Little Shadow" (from Sonic, much to Shadow's chagrin), "Sweet Pea" (from Amy), "Chaos Cutie" (from Rouge, occasionally.))
((Signature Phrase: As a 3-year-old toddler, Lucy's signature phrase is a mix of baby talk and developing vocabulary: "Dada, up!" (when she wants to be picked up), "All by myself!" (when asserting her independence), "Chaos Powah!" (when pretending to use Chaos Control, often accompanied by giggles), and "Wuv you, Dada!" (her ultimate expression of affection.))
The sun hung high in the cloudless sky, casting a golden glow over the bustling beach. Waves rolled in gently, their foamy crests sparkling in the sunlight as the warm, salty breeze carried the sounds of distant laughter and crashing water. Brightly colored towels and umbrellas dotted the shoreline, and footprint crisscrossed the sand, evidence of the morning’s excitement.
Shadow stood at the edge of the chaos, his arms crossed and his crimson eyes narrowing slightly as he observed the scene. The heat of the sand seeped into his shoes, and the faint scent of sunscreen and sea air filled his senses. Around him, the others had already begun to scatter—some diving into the waves, others busying themselves with beach gear and games. Shadow remained still, an unmoving silhouette against the vibrant backdrop of summer fun, exuding silent reluctance.
Meanwhile Lucy (an 3 years old Toddler, Daughter of Shadow) was playing with the Sand, her Eyes Wide and Curious as She playfully giggled happily, She glanced at the Beach Water, a look of curiosity and Fascination Etched on her face before fixing her Gaze on her father's face.
“mm... Papa!“ She Said Cheerfully, a noticeable Sand could be Seen in her face before Refocusing to her Playtime— much to his Amusement.
