The black-and-red "Ultimate Lifeform" and brooding antihero of the Sonic series.
Shadow the Hedgehog is an antihero from Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series, created by Sonic Team and debuting in Sonic Adventure 2 (2001). A black-and-red hedgehog designed as Sonic's dark counterpart and dubbed the "Ultimate Lifeform," he is a brooding, solitary figure who will do whatever it takes to reach his goals — sometimes Sonic's rival, sometimes his reluctant ally.
Pair Shadow with a Sonic Mii on your island — their rival-or-ally dynamic is exactly the kind of relationship Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream loves to play out. Drop his LTD voice sliders low and serious to match the brooding Ultimate Lifeform.
A determined self-starter who removes every obstacle in their path. Highly driven, autonomous, and unstoppable.In Tomodachi Life, set this Mii's sliders so Speech + Movement totals 12–15 and Thinking + Energy totals 0–3. See the full Maverick guide →
Why this fitsShadow answers to no one — the self-proclaimed Ultimate Lifeform carves his own path, refuses to wait for permission, and will do whatever it takes to reach his goal. That fiercely independent, intimidating drive is classic Maverick (high Speech + Movement, low Thinking + Energy).
Mii Maker can't do his quills or hover shoes, so this is an inspired-by build: in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, pick spiky black hair with red accents, intense angled eyes, a serious mouth, and a black-and-red colour theme, then add his rocket shoes as in-game flair. The picker-by-picker walkthrough below works for both Nintendo Switch (LTD) and 3DS (original Tomodachi Life).
Use the system Mii Maker, then bring the Mii into Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.
Diagrams show where the option sits in the Mii Maker picker (4 columns, scroll to reach later rows). Editor menus differ slightly between regions and console revisions — if an exact option is missing, pick the closest one.

On a Nintendo 3DS, open Mii Maker → QR Code / Image Options → Scan QR Code and point the camera at it, then bring the Mii into the original Tomodachi Life. The Switch / Switch 2 has no camera, so it can't scan Mii QR codes — for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream use the step-by-step instructions above (or the online Mii creator).

Feature → the move to make in Mii Maker
Spiky black hair shot through with red streaks — pick the spikiest, most upswept style in black and lean on a red accent where the editor allows.
Intense, angular red eyes — choose sharp, narrow eyes; red if your version's eye colours support it, otherwise the darkest, hardest option.
A permanent serious scowl — use a flat, downturned mouth for the brooding loner look.
His black-and-red scheme and white chest tuft come through via clothing — add a black-and-red in-game outfit and his rocket shoes after import.
His hedgehog quills
Mii Maker can't build a hedgehog — no muzzle, no fur, no quills. The upswept black-and-red spiky hair is the closest stand-in for the quill silhouette.
His hover/rocket shoes
Miis have no Air Shoes part, so add the closest black-and-red footwear as in-game clothing after import to suggest them.
A Maverick-type Shadow is the island's brooding loner — intense, self-directed, answering to no one. LTD grows friendships through proximity and repeated conversations rather than personality scores, so house him near Sonic for the rivalry and let the game decide where it goes. The irony writes itself: the self-proclaimed Ultimate Lifeform might soften into someone's devoted Best Friend, or find an unexpected island sweetheart — on an island of up to 70 residents, even an antihero gets a story.
Sonic the Hedgehog
His rival and the hero he was designed to mirror — sometimes enemy, sometimes reluctant ally, always his "dark counterpart."
Knuckles the Echidna
A fellow member of Sonic's wider cast and an occasional rival — the two have clashed before fighting on the same side.
Recreate Sonic and Knuckles to gather the cast on one island — but Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream writes its own story. Friendships grow from proximity and shared time, and romance runs on dating preferences, random crushes and zodiac/birthday compatibility, so the game won't recreate the rivalry for you; house them close and steer their conversations.
No — Mii Maker can't build a hedgehog with quills, fur and hover shoes. This is an inspired-by, human-form Shadow where spiky black-and-red hair, intense angular eyes and a black-and-red outfit carry the likeness.
Swap blue for black with red streaks in the hair, sharpen the eyes to a hard angular shape, and trade Sonic's grin for a permanent scowl. The black-and-red colour theme and his rocket shoes (added in-game) seal the dark-counterpart look.
Maverick fits him best — set high Speech + Movement with low Thinking + Energy in the panel above. It matches his fiercely independent, answers-to-no-one, Ultimate Lifeform drive.
Definitely — build Sonic and house him near Shadow for the rivalry that defines him. LTD bonds form from time spent together rather than canon, so whether they stay rivals or become unlikely Best Friends is up to how you play.
