#resisted the urge to put something about eggmans wife

[skysyzygy]

I know virtually nothing about Sonic the Hedgehog besides BDG’s Unraveled and all the Snapcube Fandubs so seeing all the Sonic 3 promo is well and fun but also here’s what I can only assume Shadow is as a character:

Emo

“The ultimate life form”

Created by Maria’s grandpa to be Sonic’s rival (and this was encouraged by Satan (or whoever that guy was))

Maria is Shadow’s childhood friend and she has been MIA since Shadow was deployed to Earth

Shadow and Rouge are mlm wlw solidarity

Shadow has jet boots but forgets this when it’s plot relevant

He dyes his hair, the red streaks aren’t natural

He’s Sonic’s rival but also Eggman’s enemy

His and Sonic’s relationship is like… two ex’s with mutual friends and one really enjoys annoying the other and the other haaaates him

Truly no idea what he can do that Sonic can’t. Both run fast. Shadow is smarter I think? But the bar is low

I get the sense that Shadow’s goal was to beat Sonic in something and once that was accomplished or failed he decided to aim for loftier goals. Like messing with Eggman. Or befriending Satan

I assume that’s not actually Satan in Shadow’s game but I also have no idea who it is

Shadow does try to get the Chaos emeralds but mostly just the green one and it’s for petty purposes. Not weed, they wouldn’t put that in a kid’s game (I think) but it’s to make Sonic or Eggman mad (I don’t know what the Chaos emeralds do. As far as I know they’re Synthesized Garbage Gems)
