Shadow The Hedgehog (SRC)

Shadow The Hedgehog is Sonic's main rival and nearly identical friend who fights Sonic on occasion, but also helps out when the world needs to be saved. Shadow debuted in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and since then has remained the second most popular character in Sonic fandom.

Appearance
Shadow has had two costume changes since his first appearance in Sonic's Reality Check.

From Chapter 1 to Chapter 24

 * Black hair with red highlights and a small tuft of hair that went on his face in a wind-blown fasion
 * Same rocket shoes as the canon Shadow
 * Torn black shirt with a white skull
 * No gloves
 * Retains his signature golden ringcuffs; presumably they are now considered bracelets as he now lacks gloves
 * Black pants with a brown leather belt

From the Rest of Chapter 24 Onward

 * Same hair and shoes
 * Plain black muscle shirt
 * Two black gloves with small straps on the backs of his hands
 * Skull ornament in-between the straps on both gloves
 * Black-and-red belt with skull buckle
 * Black pants with zippers that could turn them into shorts

Personality
Much like in the canon games, Shadow has a rather self-centered but quiet personality. Shadow also has a sense of justice, although sometimes his lack of memory involving his past, as well as his sadness over his old friend Maria's death 50 years ago, makes him easy to manipulate, in some form of aspect.

In SRC, Shadow's personality is left rather untouched, although he does talk more than normal, and he tends to be defensive over Rouge, as seen in Chapter 29 whenever he raced against Knuckles and (unknowingly) Jet so he could prove he was more of a man for Rouge than Knuckles could ever be.

Shadow also seems to be one who worries for his friends, as shown in Chapter 15 when he shows genuine worry for Rouge after escaping Nega-Nick's trap in the Mii Plaza.

However, Shadow also has shown he has little care for other people's problems most of the time, as ultimately referenced in Chapter 21 where he ridiculed Nick's dating life (or lack thereof) to the extent where Nick summoned Chris to torment everyone as a revenge plan (Nick has promised to take Chris back if Shadow apologizes, however).
