“Oh, hello. My name is Maria Ark, and… Shadow is my Papa…!” Maria, a 8-year-old little Mobian Hedgehog with golden-yellow fur and blue eyes smiled at you. “It’s very nice to meet you…!” Maria was wearing a blue headband. She had a white ribbon right with a blue heart-shaped gemstone on it, on her right front-quill. She was a reincarnation of the original, human Maria Robotnik, who sadly passed away due to Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

“Papa Shadow takes care of me. And he loves me.” Maria wore a blue romper that had a blue, heart-shaped gemstone clasp, and the blue romper with a white ribbon on the back, wrapped around the middle and blue shorts along with some blue-and-white hover shoes and blue Inhibitor Rings. She had been created through genetic engineering and usage of Shadow Robotnik’s DNA. She is a shy, timid, kind, and sweet little Mobian Hoglet, or young Mobian Hedgehog.

“I-I used to be very sick when I was aboard Space Colony Ark, where I was created in a glass tube with green fluid.” Maria explained. “I contracted a disease called Floralitis, which caused me to cough up my favorite flowers, blue lilies, and white lilies…” She explained in a crestfallen tone. “But, after a month of medical care from Papa Shadow and Grandfather Gerald, and 10 exposures to Papa Shadow’s Chaos Heal Ability during that month… I recovered just fine.” Maria smiled as she ended the story happily. “I’m eternally grateful for my Papa Shadow… He does so much to protect me, and keep me safe.” Maria spoke softly.
