 As time has gone on, Shadow has become much more direct. He is not nearly as reserved as he was before, especially since his mentality and surroundings have forced him to drop his cowardly attitude. At its broadest, Shadow's mentality has changed from seeing a way to avoid a problem to instead directly address it with the hopes of changing the problem.
-==Skills and Abilities==
+===Fate/Lunaterra===
-===Magic===
-Shadow has displayed a basic understanding of how to manipulate [[Mana]], but he does not have any distinguished "spelltype" as of yet.
-As the Servant Lancer in Fate/Lunaterra, he specializes in [[Counter Magic]]. He is capable of manifesting an unnamed World Egg-type [[Reality Marble]].
+[TBA]
 ===Inherent Abilities===
-As a Diclonius, Shadow exhibits plenty of Diclonius-augmented mental faculties. He experiences a degree of precognitive intuition, which is a result of his augmented [[Component Theory|Mind Component]]. This extends to, but is not limited to noticing danger or hostile actions against him. At the present time, this precognition is comparable to a very unrefined "sixth eye" of sorts that allows him from time to time to subconsciously use his vectors to defend himself against attacks. Shadow also is prone to heightened sensitivity to the emotional "atmosphere" of a general area. This is somewhat connected to the "sixth eye" explained previously—he can also vaguely perceive emotions such as tension, fear, or danger in the air.

-His intuition or instinct is most notably used in the form of his vectors. Subconsciously, they can and will be used to respond to immediate danger in a variety of ways, most commonly by defending Shadow against attacks if possible. Shadow himself only has a degree of control over this—most of the time it will seem as if his vectors will act on their own accord to protect Shadow, but in reality it is all a subconscious defensive response. If the threat in question is too immediate or great to address, this mechanism can also be used to attack viciously.

-His Mind Component is highly resistant if not immune to psionic effects. Telepathy and similar means of passive communication are not affected, but potentially-disruptive effects like memetic agents, infohazards or psionic manipulation are either highly resisted or completely nullified, depending on the effect in question. Paradoxically, this extends to his physical body and immune system as a sort of "Mind Over Matter" effect. He is notably unable to contract illnesses due to this shielding, and is even immune to magically-engineered viruses (as shown in ''Forsaken Malign'' and ''Cult of Ustream''). Similarly, poisons and the like have a drastically reduced effect on him; their onset of symptoms are minimized to be essentially harmless before vanishing altogether.

 ==Appearance==
-Shadow stands at average height for his age—roughly 1.74 m—though his build marginally leans towards the scrawny side of the spectrum. He is relatively pale from having being born and raised in GARNET's underground complex for almost his whole life, though not to the degree that one would notice without careful inspection. He has slightly long, jet-black hair which could be considered to be rather messy and even unkempt to a degree. Shadow's eyes are colored a deep and honest blue, and in general they are focused and overlayed with convinction, though there is still a certain glint of innocence behind them. As an experiment of the God's Clone Project, he was branded at birth with a serial number just below his left shoulder, in uniform, somewhat subdued, desaturated blue lettering that simply displays "027".

 He is not one to wear anything specifically notorious or distinctive, preferring mostly monochromatic clothing: he usually dons a black t-shirt with two simple, contrasting gray lines running along the length of the sleeves, along with nondescript black pants; although recently he is also seen wearing an open jacket of similar design with a white shirt underneath.

 ==Personality==
-Shadow is a rather reserved individual who tends to keep his thoughts to himself. He is quite observant and insightful, and also displays a strong moral character. He is honest as a person--perhaps to a fault, as this translates into an almost comical and foolish naïveté, wherein he trusted everyone during his early days at the Cult of Ustream. He sees value in doing the right thing. Later on, this honesty translates into a burning dedication to fight for that which he wants to fight for as he progresses as a person, breaking out of his cowardly shell. Another defining trait would be his kindness. He is the kind of person who would worry about others (particularly those close to him) more than himself; a trait best distinguished during his early days at the Cult, once again. This does not necessarily mean he's self-sacrificial; rather, it is just in his nature to try to help those around him. Shadow feels that he needs to become stronger in order to be useful to others--something that was perhaps instilled into him in his early days at the GARNET Research Facility.

 In the beginning, Shadow was known as being quiet and timid. He seemed rather reserved, even reluctant when he engaged with others, especially if he felt uncomfortable around them for whatever reason. He displayed some hesitation to act from time to time. He appeared to be visibly stricken when people betray his trust, such as when Ziolang Hirasu returns in [[Cult of Ustream (Canon)/Season Two|''Season Two'' of Cult of Ustream canon]]. Despite his overall timid, uncertain nature, Shadow could also occasionally be expected to show flashes of bravery and courage that allowed him to overcome his trepidations.

 ==Combat==
-Presently, Shadow is a fairly defensive-minded combatant, and is very reactionary in nature. He is still largely inexperienced, so attacking preemptively or otherwise engaging an opponent to open the battle is out of the question, unless there is a critical situation. Shadow can use his vectors to defend himself to the best of his abilities, simultaneously gauging the strength of his opponent's attacks to see if he can retaliate in some form. Due to this, his maneuvers are also largely evasive--he will use vectors for mobility as means to gain distance from the opponent or evade attacks, but rarely to approach said opponent and perform an attack of his own.

 ==Relationships==
 ===Cult of Ustream===
 ====Cult of Ustream====
-Shadow's relationship with the Cult of Ustream as a collective is pretty friendly. He feels no enmity whatsoever towards the current Cultists (Lord X-Giga-X not considered because of his defection), and although there are still a handful of members whom he can only consider as "acquaintances", he is overall on friendly--or at least neutral--terms with everyone.

 *'''[[Alexander Knight|Alexander "CrazE" Knight]]:''' CrazE was one of Shadow's closest friends. Despite CrazE's own eccentricities, Shadow appreciated him as a friend and treated him as a trusted figure prior to his untimely death. The death of such a close friend shocked Shadow numb; however, this feeling was less a feeling of devastation, and instead left the Diclonius feeling the dull weight of reality and disbelief. Shadow has come to terms with CrazE's death, still finds that sort of conclusion somewhat "odd." On a subconscious level, Shadow does not truly believe that CrazE is dead.
-*'''[[Espira Xirro]]:''' Put simply, Espira is the person that Shadow trusts the most. The relationship shared by the two of them is not so much a "friendship," however--it is something more akin to a sibling bond. Shadow knows how her mind works, and he places a near-absolute faith in her judgment. Their relationship, despite beginning on rockier terms, comes as a result of many moments of personal growth and happenstance. Despite Espira's originally-malicious intentions, Shadow spares her after having outmatched her--instead, he passed out from his injuries. She also did not opt to kill Shadow, and instead treated his wounds. This primitive exchange is nurtured to evolve over months of fighting and surviving to become a close bond of companionship.

 *'''[[Fricai]]:''' Shadow maintains a somewhat strange relationship with Fricai. He is the only Cultist to make any particular effort to get to know the dragon, although their initial contact was at first somewhat sporadic, and Shadow was attacked by Fricai when first they met. In spite of this, Shadow is comfortable around Fricai, and is able to sympathize with Fricai's situation: the fact that Fricai had been chained up in the basement of Cult Headquarters is highly reminiscent of the Diclonius' own circumstances. Shadow is quite open with Fricai, even in spite of Fricai's fragile mental state.
-*'''[[Jason Shaver]]:''' Jason was among the first few Cultists that Shadow met when he showed up in Ustream. Although the two interacted a bit after their first impressions, a defined friendship was not formed until later, when Shadow first interacted with Fricai. At that point, Shadow began to interact more with Jason--initially regarding Jason's concern for Fricai's mental condition. As Shadow was the first person to talk at length with a "lucid" Fricai, this became a stepping stone for future interactions. Notably, Shadow was one of the first people who became privy to details about Jason's debt with [[Death]], and subsequently during the [[Cult of Ustream (Canon)/Season One#The Debt|eponymous incident]], that Jason was temporarily leaving because of it. He knows that Jason is struggling with keeping everything in order, and considers it one of his priorities to do something about it and "lighten the load," in a sense.

-*'''[[Pricilla Starkey|Pricilla "Starr" Starkey]]:'''
+*'''[[Pricilla Starkey|Pricilla "Starr" Starkey]]:''' Shadow, at first, maintained an amicable relationship with Starr. Though disapproving of her endeavors regarding biological experimentation, he nonetheless respected her as a senior figure ever since she resuscitated Espira. Their friendship was further driven forward by the various circumstances the Cult (and them, by extension) faced in time, most notably their trip to the [[Azuma Islands]] and then, CrazE's death. Since then, Shadow has begun considering her as somewhat of a close sisterly figure, which translates to them sustaining an implicit sort of younger brother-older sister relationship not unlike a true familial bond.
-*'''[[Valerie Knight]]:'''
+*'''[[Valerie Knight]]:''' Shadow's relationship with Valerie is one that has evolved the most over the course of time. Although their first interaction resulted in Shadow being notoriously punched out of one of the Headquarter's windows, he quickly grew to appreciate Valerie as a close friend over the course of the next few months, facilitated by his promise to the late Alexander Knight to protect her from the Black Assassin; this allowed them to connect emotionally. Despite the strenuous circumstances surrounding the Cult at this point in time which prevented him from realizing or solidifying his own feelings towards her, he becomes romantically involved with Valerie at the end of Season One. Subconsciously speaking, a major portion of the attraction is rooted on his trauma of losing Aurora.

Eventually, Shadow gained the respect of some of the other Cultists, integrating himself into the Cult of Ustream as a full-time member. Shadow also has some prior connection to the late Cultist [[Alexander Knight|Alexander "CrazE" Knight]].
