I know I'll see you again. And if fate draws us apart, I will always be in your heart.
This has been a long time coming.
What's The Work?
Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game franchise about a blue hedgehog named Sonic, who, alongside his friends, fights Dr. Eggman and stops his schemes to take over the world. They fight other villains too.
Who Is She?
Maria Robotnik is a major character from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. She was Gerald Robotnik's granddaughter who contracted NIDS sometime after her birth, which led to Gerald insisting that she be brought to the the Space Colony ARK to work on a cure for her.
Admirable Standards?
First of all, I think that pre-Shadow Gens Maria was a Mufasa (from the animated Lion King media) case where that character passed the admirable standards because of his influence in helping recover the Pride Lands. Remember how that character helped Rafiki succeed in convincing Simba to return to the Pride Lands to defeat Scar and save it from his tyrannical rule? The same should apply to Maria. She was the reason Amy succeeded in redeeming Shadow, which played a huge role in saving the world, since Super Sonic and Super Shadow both teleported the Space Colony ARK back into orbit, stopping it from crashing into Earth. The influence was mostly her, even though Amy also redeemed both Gamma and Trip. Plus, Amy was a more capable character, having used her hammer to arrive to the Egg Carrier to redeem Gamma or Lagoon City to redeem Trip in the first place.
Second of all, it's time for the moment you've all been waiting for! Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun- oops, wrong franchise (Now I've referenced two franchises outside of Sonic!).
In Shadow Generations, she plays a more active role in helping Shadow truly get rid of Black Doom's influence on his life. Specifically in the scene where she stops Shadow from letting his anger at Black Doom take over him. Shadow becomes a fully redeemed hedgehog by letting go of his anger, always being reminded of her wish for everyone to have a chance at being happy, and being reminded that he was nothing like Black Doom, all thanks to Maria. She also reminded him why he was called Shadow. There's no light without darkness, but a shadow helps one to the light. Thanks to this one game, she was able to amplify her positive influence on Shadow, enough to make her pass the admirable standards, Amy Rose aside.
Mitigating Factors?
If I recall, didn't a lack of screen time get removed as a disqualification? And even then, due to a time anomaly, we can safely say she got more screen time, specifically playing a huge role in Shadow Gens. Otherwise, of course we see no corrupting factors from her. She's always anti-nihilistic, optimistic, and cheerful, and she saved Shadow's life, wanting him to be a hero. Even with her pacifism, she didn't stop Shadow from fighting Black Doom, because she wanted him to fight for what is right and with her wish for everyone to be happy in his heart.
Final Verdict?
An easy and long-awaited yes to her for Shadow, a character who passes the series' admirable standards was able to be at peace all thanks to her. This wasn't the best re-proposal for the girl I could've given her, and I do think my previous proposal was still one of my best-written proposals, but I still got my points across. Looks like I have no plans for my next Pure Good Prop- wait a minute! I forgot someone!
There is a specific opossum from the era of 90s mascot platformers created by Konami and the star of one of the Sega Genesis' greatest games and its sequel on the Genesis and spin-off on the SNES. I remember that he also returned in 2010. Can you please tell me who it- oh, never mind. I actually know what his name is. But you'll have to guess it in the comments below! Comment who you think my next candidate is! Have fun guessing! It's challenging due to how obscure he is otherwise.
