In your Sonic au did Maria have a special nickname for Shadow?
In my au she calls him Star in any language she can learn ☺️
She did! Maria was ~12 when she got on the ARK and met shadow, and she was in a very rough patch being seperated from her family and being diagnosed with NIDS. She called him a lot of things (like you might a cat, like, a million different nicknames without ever saying their name) one of her favorites was 'Kieri', which is one of the names she was considering when naming shadow, having the pleasure of doing so. Gerald However, never really called him any nicknames, either his 'official' name of Shadow or his expiriment tag number, "005". (Which yes does imply shadow was the fifth of some line of experiments)
