==History==
===Early History===
Nothing significant happened before age 6.
===Disaster===
On Tendril's sixth birthday his parents reveal to him that his father was the king of the Shadow Realm. Later that day, a knock was heard at the door. Tendril's father went to see who it was. There was a flash of light and a cry of pain. Tendril and his mother ran to the door to see what happened, only to find Tendril's father dead at the feet of a light being. He killed Tendril's mother and grabbed Tendril, taking him to the top of the highest building in the town and Tendril watched, helpless, as an army of light beings rampaged through the town, killing everyone in sight. When it was over the light being that held Tendril threw him off the building and flew away. Tendril survived the fall when his shadow came up off the ground at the last second and caught him.
===A New Friend===
About a year later, Tendril meets Aquella "Tsunami" Oceania and they become good friends. He also meets Pyra "Inferna" Fireheart and the two of them begin a friendship as well. The three of them begin training, attempting to master their newfound powers.
===Befriending the Ancients===
A few years later he meets Nightfall, Moonrise and Lightbane at . Nightfall sees something in him that he likes. After a few tests and trials, the three finally conclude that Tendril is one of the hedgehogs that they've been looking for, along with Tsunami and Inferna. ﻿
===Tsunami Saga===
The morning after Tsunami was given her Curse Mark, she and Inferna were asleep in a forest, both of them tired from the battle that occured the evening before. The two were under the careful watch of Duan the Hedgehog. The three were attacked by a team of three led by Frost "Snap" Glacia, who had been sent by Orochimaru. Tendril appeared just in time to help Duan in defending their friends.
Along with the other members of his team, Tendril was summoned to Duan's house by Inferna the morning after Tsunami left. Just when he was about to lead the team out to rescue their friend, his shadow reminded him of an unknown mission that required their attention, so he left Inferna in charge of the mission to save Tsunami. The next day, when Duan finally caught up with Tsunami and Force, he found himself outmatched and outclassed. Just after Tsunami went on ahead, Duan tried to give chase, but was stopped by Force. With perfect timing, Tendril appeared, as if out of nowhere, and took Duan's place in the battle, allowing Duan to go after Tsunami. Tendril defeated Force quickly and when Force could take no more punishment, his teammates appeared.....and finished the job for Tendril.
==Powers==
Tendril wields shadow-based powers. With them he can create fields of shadow energy, fire beams of pure darkness, create solid shadows and even open or close a rift to the Shadow Realm as well as summon and control armies made up of shadow creatures.
Tendril also has the ability to see and decipher another's technique and, if possible, copy it using his own powers. This ability has led him to learn the moves he calls Dark Eye, Dark Chidori, and Dusk Step, all of which he learned by watching Tsunami. His copy ability also allowed him to become the second Elemental Being to enter a Dual Fusion State by watching Cyclone, who was the first.
