Forlot_Forever
The only girl that Shadow falls in love with, and Alinta does not want to pursue a romantic relationship with him or any other guy.
After Grazie the Hedgehog, Galatia the Hedgehog, and Omiru the Owl find Shadow the Hedgehog and bring him to Sonic's house, and Sonic does the same with Amy Rose, Sonic's family grows even more. A father and mother. Two brothers. Three new sisters. And three new friends, including Rouge the Bat, who come and go as they please.
Tom and Maddie announce that they will foster a young lady named Alinta Emerald. Alinta is a high-functioning autistic whose parents died a year after her older sister, Melaina, vanished without a trace, who has now been missing for almost three years.
As soon as Tom and Maddie arrive back home with Alinta, the anthropomorphic aliens shower her with love and attention and are eager to show her around Green Hills. Except Shadow. Shadow is studying Grazie, Galatia, and Omiru, trying to decide which lady he should ask out. During his battles with them and Team Sonic, he grew fond of the girls' fighting skills and powers, as well as their perseverances. But when Maddie asks Shadow to hold Alinta's hand so she does not wander off, Shadow's heart is plagued by a different love.
As Shadow spends more time with Alinta, he realizes that they have more in common than he can count on his fingers. She even prefers coffee beans over coffee itself. After he accepts his feelings for her, Shadow asks Alinta on a date - only for her to reject him, adding that she lacks a desire to be in a romantic relationship. She does not want to give up her peace and solitude because of a love destined to fail because of her.
When Sonic and the others learn of Shadow's rejection, they try changing Alinta's stance on romance. But the pressure backfires, leading to Alinta hating her temporary family.
