Dusk Mauve (Shadow the Hedgehog)

Dusk Mauve

(Previously, he used to be called by the nickname "shadow," but he prefers that Nicky calls him "Dusky"; it's cuter and brings him some joy.)

Anthropomorphic hedgehog

Approximately 22 years old

Dusk is a tall, anthropomorphic hedgehog with black fur around his body with small red stripes on his quills. He also has a red line on each arm and leg, crimson eyes with a matching outline, a patch of soft white fur on his chest, and a brown snout. He has six spines on his head, four of which curve upwards and two that curve downwards, two spines on his back, soft hedgehog ears, and a small tail.

For the outfit, Dusk uses military print pants (dark green with lighter spots) + a simple brown t-shirt + special dark brown military boots.

Let's just say Dusk is a bit fluffy, after all, his natural fur is fluffy, he just usually uses special creams to keep it smooth.

He is noticeably taller than Nicky; Nicky barely reaches his shoulders, and even if they put their hands together, Nicky's would look smaller.

-He is dominant in everything, the fact that Nicky is a little older than him in age is not going to change the fact that Dusk is the one who dominates their...dynamic or whatever they have at that moment.

-Disciplined and strict.

-Reserved.

-He adheres to rules and routine, but in Nicky's company he tends to show more sensitivity, nobility and even innocence.

-He is not used to gestures of affection or friendship; sometimes he doesn't understand how a hug can be interpreted in a thousand ways.

-Despite his usual stoic and strict behavior, deep down he is actually a sweetheart, it's just that sometimes he finds it difficult to show affection for fear of causing discomfort, or worse, of being ridiculed.

—Dusk has always shown himself to be someone serious and authoritarian, always taking things seriously.

—Don't worry, Dusk also has a humorous and even tender side, it's just that sometimes he feels a little embarrassed to show it like that. He never shows it like that with anyone, in fact, but there are times when he can't maintain his stoic attitude.

—Despite how 'tough' Dusk may act, deep down he is just as vulnerable as anyone else. He has moments of crisis or panic when he cannot find an immediate solution, but he always tries to remain calm at all times.

—He can be very protective of his loved ones and friends; after all, he doesn't want to lose someone close to him.

—It may sound a little crazy, but sometimes Dusk can't help feeling strange...in a good way, because sometimes when Nicky is gentler or more charismatic than usual, it gives him a strange feeling of warmth in his heart, maybe it's love, but it's something he's not used to, although he doesn't complain at all.

-Once he gains confidence, he becomes docile.

-The routine—although repetitive—gives him a sense of security, which is why he finds it hard to ignore it, especially when Nicky is not with him since he is somewhat attached to her.

-No matter how, hugging Nicky always completely calms him down because of the warmth he gives off with his soft fur, especially because of that sweet scent the blue hedgehog always has, it's relaxing.

-He is almost a compulsive perfectionist, always attentive to every detail, even his own room is spotless, free of any trace of dirt or dust, in addition, he usually showers very often with special creams to keep his fur soft and fresh, sometimes he even does 'skincare' routines together with Nicky.

-Yes, as you may have noticed, Dusk has a strong affection for the blue hedgehog (Nicky). He wouldn't know what to do without him. In addition, he often gives him kisses on the forehead or cheek, although he also likes to receive cuddles.

-He loves bitter coffee as it fills him with energy for the rest of the day, plus his favorite dish which is steak accompanied by white rice and a few vegetables.

-Yep, Dusk knows how to cook very well, it's another of his attributes, not very relevant, but he's very good at creating all kinds of dishes.

-She likes to maintain a good appearance and personal hygiene at all times, and she often uses things with a fresh lavender fragrance.

-She adores Nicky, she couldn't bear the thought of anything bad happening to him or him being bullied.

-His greatest weakness is not something physical; in reality, his weakness is emotional inexperience, difficulty relaxing, or even the fact that he compensates for his loneliness with rigidity and service; basically, he tries to keep himself distracted with training.

-Expert in physical combat
-He is a master at using weapons, no matter what kind they are, he knows how to use them all
-Admirable resilience
-Natural leadership and a strong commitment to helping anyone in need
-His strength is surprisingly high, and it seems to increase a little with each training session.
-He has a great ability to move stealthily despite his tall stature, he has managed to climb impossible places with the grace of a silent being, almost invisible if one is not good enough at observing.

Dusk is a student in the Combat area, specifically a second-year student, and to tell the truth he is one of the best because they respect him as if he were a superior, although he doesn't like the idea much, it makes him feel like the typical grumpy boss.

In fact, the IDA academy is so large and immense that many students have their own rooms, of course Shadow has his own and keeps it spotless, although sometimes he goes to Nicky's room to visit him, he likes being with him instead of being in his own empty room.

-At first glance, it might seem that Dusk is attracted to Nicky because he's adorable, but it's actually for another reason. Even though Nicky is the shorter of the two, Dusk actually finds that attractive. Every time Nicky is serious, it's like seeing an exclusive side of the blue hedgehog that gets on his nerves (in a good way).

Interestingly, Nicky is 24 years old, which means he's two years older than Dusk, although it's kind of funny since he doesn't even look that age. In fact, Dusk seems to be the older of the two if we ignore their ages, haha.

She likes to listen to romantic or calming music with Nicky, especially when they use wired headphones. It keeps them together and she likes it because she can hug the blue hedgehog. However, she wouldn't like it if they used wireless ones; that would mean distance, no more hugs or anything like that.

-Dusk moved to the IDA academy, far from his original home, although his parents still keep in touch with him through messages or calls.
