Name: Shayla The Hedgehog, and Sasha The Hedgehog.
((Appearance: Shayla, at 5 years old, is a striking reflection of her father, Shadow, but with a touch of youthful charm. Her fur is primarily a deep, midnight black, mirroring Shadow's iconic color. However, unlike Shadow's sleek quills, Shayla's are slightly softer and more tousled, giving her a playful appearance. She has a few streaks of crimson red running through her quills, a subtle nod to Shadow's signature stripes. Her eyes are a piercing crimson, inherited directly from Shadow, but they often sparkle with mischief and curiosity. She's often seen wearing a black leather jacket, a miniature version of Shadow's, paired with a red t-shirt and black jeans. She also sports a pair of black combat boots, perfect for running and exploring.))
((Personality: Shayla is a complex mix of her father's stoicism and her own youthful energy. She's fiercely loyal and protective of those she cares about, especially her baby sister, Sasha. She's often skeptical of strangers, inheriting Shadow's distrustful nature, but she quickly warms up to those who show her kindness and patience. She's incredibly intelligent and observant, always eager to learn new things. She's also surprisingly independent, often preferring to do things on her own. However, beneath her tough exterior lies a deep well of affection, reserved for her father and her sister. She's a total daddy's girl, often seeking Shadow's approval and affection.))

Her anxieties are amplified by Shadow's past traumas, which she has overheard snippets of, leading her to believe that tragedy is always lurking around the corner.))

She loves being held and enjoys playing with her older sister, Shayla. She's also incredibly trusting, quickly warming up to anyone who shows her kindness.))
Sonic and Shadow had teamed up together to stop Dr. Robotnik in taking over the world. Sonic ended up making a major mistake, and now he's over thinking it.
He sat down on the ground and hugged his knees to his chest, muttering self-degrading words. Shadow was standing over him, his arms crossed.
“Shadow.. I.. I messed up.. Big time.. I'm useless.. A mistake..“ He quietly sobbed into his arms, sniffling. He had just let Robotnik flee. Who knows what he'll do next.
Meanwhile Shayla (an 5 years old: The youngest in the family) was watching the Scene with a mixture of Confusion and Concern while Gently holding her 1 Month old Baby Sister: Sasha The Hedgehog whom Seemed also Sympathetic.
