Eggman: "Shadow the Hedgehog! Hey everybody, look! Shadow' shere!"
Random Villain: "Who's he?"
Eggman: "He's only the second most popular character in the whole canon!"

A horribly misinterpreted and misrepresented Sonic character that Sega loves to hate.
Shadow debuted in Sonic Adventure 2 for the Sega Genesis and Nintendo Gamecube as the Ultimate Lifeform created 50+ years ago by Dr. Eggman's grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik on the Space Colony ARK. Though Shadow was designed to be a living weapon, his more secretive and primary purpose was to save the life of Professor Gerald's granddaughter, Maria, who was diagnosed with a very rare and life threatening disease. He never got to fulfill his purpose as G.U.N. suddenly shut down Project Shadow, and Maria was killed in the midst.
Despite his stoic and quiet front, Shadow is a very compassionate and lonely character. He's not an anti-hero or villain, but an ally who rivals Sonic's speed and skills. Rouge and Omega are his friends; he respects Sonic as an equal, if not a superior.
Unfortunately, with Sonic '06's massive failure, Sega decided to dumb down all of their characters and stories, and Shadow took the brunt of it, being shoved to the side and reduced to the joke his titular game presented him to be; a dark, angsty, over-the-top edge-lord loner who's too good for friends and hates Sonic because... reasons???

Shadow The Hedgehog is, if not, the second favourite Sonic character in the series. He's cool, edgy and most of all: BADASS!
He had a tragic backstory...But has made a promise to a blond girl, who had AIDS, who got shot by a soilder.
He's also has a soft spot for kittens.

Common term reffering to "shadowy" game character who wields guns for the sole purpose of grabbing the attention of shooter fans and nothing more. A Dante wannabe.

I am Shadow the Hedgehog, and I had to make my own game to prove I'm better than Sonic! This is WHO I AM!
