Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic Boom S3 BlackBlur Ver.)

Shadow the Hedgehog is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom series. He is an anthropomorphic hedgehog referred to as the "Ultimate Life Form," and the arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog.
==Appearance==
Shadow is a black-furred anthropomorphic hedgehog. Like Sonic, Shadow is rather slim with relatively long arms and legs and pronounced shoulders that give him a tall and slightly lanky appearance; unlike Sonic, however, Shadow appears to be more barrel-chested with broad shoulders. He has red eyes, a small patch of white fur on his chest, a tan-skinned muzzle, and tan-skinned ear canals. He also has six quills on his head, four of which curve upwards while the other two curve downwards, two spines on his back, and a small tail. He has red stripes on each of his head quills, around the edges of his eyes, and on his arms and legs. He also has a single cowlick-like spike that sticks out from underneath each of the top side quills on his head.
Shadow's attire includes white gloves with red backs which have long red and black cuffs with fasteners and golden ring bands around his wrists. His shoes are mainly white and smooth with black heel regions. Above the topline, each shoe has a long red tongue and black cuff encircled by a single golden ring band. Around the rim of the soles, Shadow's shoes have red strips of metal on the rear and front of the bottom, broken below the in-steps. On the bottom of each sole is also an orange-yellow line of four small "jets": three up front and one on the heel.

==Personality==
Shadow comes off as blunt, aggressive, arrogant, and uncaring. He does not take kindly to outside interference, swiftly disposing of whoever gets in his way. Extremely aggressive and lacking in inhibitions, he is perfectly willing to eliminate a foe rather than merely subduing them, unlike Sonic, and believes that justice must be had by any means necessary. Despite his selfish and aggressive tendencies, his motivations to fight are purely related to his pride, and not villainy or heroism. Because of this, he is often very destructive and even brutal in battle. Nonetheless, he usually maintains a calm, aloof, and indifferent attitude, and lacks a general interest in anything. Shadow also has a strong sense of purpose and sticks to his goals with grim determination and intense focus, not resting until they are fulfilled. He is also not one to run away from a confrontation.
Shadow is fiercely independent; he operates as a lone wolf, viewing friendship as a sign of weakness and refusing to serve anyone but himself. Even when joining forces with others, he has no interest in collaborating or the listening to their plans unless they align with his own goals. In the rare event that he does team up with someone, he outright refuses to cooperate with them; when Sonic suggested coordinating Spin Attacks from either side of Metal Sonic, Shadow bluntly stated that he "take[s] orders from no one" and knocked him aside. While not above the occasional brash smile or witty remark, Shadow is usually very serious and has little patience for inane behavior; he has no qualms about criticizing and voicing his low opinions of others in the harshest and rudest way possible. He likewise despises weakness and people he deems weak, but is willing to at least give compliments to others when deserved. His serious nature also makes him difficult to impress. However, he is quite touchy and sensitive, namely when he believes that he has been insulted.
Shadow is very vengeful, to the point where he appears remorseless and devoid of any mercy; after being fooled by Eggman multiple times, Shadow grew so vengeful that he lost his temper and chose to exact revenge on his "pathetic" universe by attempting to destroy it, showing no sympathy for the innumerable lives that would have been lost as a result of his actions. He likewise does not let go of grudges easily; upon being freed from Lyric's control, he spent most of his time hunting down Lyric to make him pay for enslaving him.
Shadow is also highly intelligent, as demonstrated when he figured out that Eggman had deceived him from bantering with Sonic. Despite this intelligence, he can be manipulated through his arrogance and short temper, as he was easily fooled into thinking Sonic insulted him by Eggman's poorly edited recording of an earlier conversation.
And After, With Sonic's persuasion, Shadow changed his mind
==Powers and abilities==
Shadow is a very powerful individual. Said to match even Sonic in both speed and abilities, Shadow is regarded as the one person who can beat Sonic in a fair fight. As a testament to his power, he is able to effortlessly defeat each member of Team Sonic and fight Sonic to a near standstill, although not without gaining the upper hand multiple times.
Although he relies on his shoes for running, Shadow can move at speeds that rivals Sonic's on his own as well, and has reflexes to match both his and Sonic's speed. In addition to speed, Shadow is exceptionally strong, capable of kicking Sonic into the ground with such force that he made an impact crater, and hitting Sonic with enough strength to knock him through three palm trees in a row without slowing down (to the point that the broken parts of those palm trees even have scorch marks on them). Shadow also has impressive durability; even after taking a direct hit from Sonic's spin attack while his guard was down and getting knocked through a house, Shadow instantly got back up. He is also able to project red energies for a variety of purposes; he can envelop himself in a red aura which empowers his attacks and makes him virtually invulnerable, throw energy bolts named Chaos Spears to attack his enemies and unleash an explosion of energy named the Chaos Blast. He is also capable of teleportation. With his teleportation skill, Shadow can dodge attacks and launch surprise attacks with ease.
Shadow is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, capable of taking on multiple opponents at the same time. Shadow can as well perform the spin attack, where he curls tightly into a concussive ball. In this stance, Shadow can damage, destroy and mow down obstacles or foes when in motion and even equal Sonic's spin attack head-on.
===Equipment===
Shadow wears a pair of specialized shoes. These footwear produce small jet streams that let him hover-skate at speeds equaling Sonic's speed. Alternatively, Shadow can use his shoes to produce fire to achieve midair hovering and flight.
Shadow also possesses his own Enerbeam, an energy tether that can latch onto objects or form a makeshift whip/rope.
==Weaknesses==
Despite his formidable combat capabilities, Shadow's torso appears to be a sensitive spot for him, as a single punch to that area from Metal Sonic was enough to make him keel over.
==Relationships==
===Team Dark===
====Rouge the Bat====
====E-123 Omega====
===Team Sonic===
Shadow generally looks down on Team Sonic with contempt, viewing most of its members as pathetic due to his personal opposition to friendship, and the ease at which he can take them down. Whenever they cross paths, he is most likely to ignore them unless they are actively fighting him, focusing almost exclusively on Sonic. Like with Sonic, however, Shadow holds a hint of respect for the rest of the team, willing to acknowledge and give them credit if he feels they deserve it.
He respects Tails' intelligence, having no qualms about letting him examine his Mind Control Device. While he does not find Knuckles very smart, he does acknowledge his strength and is not above using it to his advantage in combat. He is also open about how pathetic he finds Sticks to be, to the point where he and Knuckles shared a look of confusion during one of her tirades.
And Team Dark Has Be Helper For Team Sonic
====Sonic the Hedgehog====
Sonic the Hedgehog is Shadow's tense arch-rival and his equal in both speed, abilities and dashing looks. Despite their similarities, they are polar opposites in every way, with Shadow disagreeing with nearly everything Sonic stands for. While Sonic is joyful, free-spirited and adventurous, Shadow is brooding, serious and violently aggressive. Whereas Sonic draws strength from his friends and believes in teamwork, Shadow is a loner who only relies on himself. Shadow's rivalry with Sonic is hostile to the point of them being enemies, but he will put their rivalry aside when a greater threat is present.
Shadow shares a bitter arch-rivalry with Sonic which goes way back, and is determined to defeat him at all costs due to his pride. He finds Sonic extensively annoying and criticizes him for being weak and a disgrace to hedgehog-kind. Shadow also firmly thinks of himself as Sonic's superior, and whenever they meet, they usually end up arguing. While willing to ignore Sonic out of a sense of superiority, Shadow will just as easily pick a fight with him and go out of his way to defeat or even kill Sonic to prove how pathetic he is, which Shadow justifies on the grounds that Sonic deserves it for being such a disgrace. In fact, fighting Sonic is one of the few things Shadow ever shows an interest in. For all his animosity though, Shadow has a small degree of respect for Sonic, like when he willingly complimented Sonic and let him go after noticing that he beat Lyric.
And changed his mind is Sonic's persuasion
===Team Eggman===
Like he does with Dr. Eggman, Shadow considers the other members of Team Eggman to be pathetic fools, and buffoons who are only good for wasting time and is not shy about sharing such an opinion.
====Dr. Eggman====
In spite of their shared animosity for Sonic, Shadow thinks little of Dr. Eggman. While the doctor idolizes Shadow, Shadow sees Eggman as a pathetic fool and buffoon who is only a waste of his time, an opinion of which he is very open about. Regardless, Shadow was once willing to join forces with Eggman to plan Sonic's demise, although he left once he got fed up with him. In battle, Shadow will not hesitate to brush the doctor away, but at the same time finds him such an annoyance that he would abandon a fight with Sonic just to get away from him. Despite this, Shadow seems to have at least a hint of tolerance towards the doctor, begrudgingly letting him take a selfie with him when he could have easily left or attacked him instead.
After their failed attempt to take down Sonic together, Shadow has sworn to never work alongside Eggman again. Also, when Shadow found out Eggman had tricked him into attacking Sonic, he came after the doctor without mercy.
