Shadow

Shadow (シャドー) is one of the two protagonists of Darkness Unbreakable. This is the original depiction of Shadow Stevens, as created by Alex Guy. He appears prominently in Stardust Frontier and Stardust Requiem, and briefly in Black and White. He and Phoebe are the sixth central characters in the Evershade series.

Shadow is introduced as a pessimistic shut-in, following the untimely death of his mother. Moving to Bianco City with his aunt, Shadow's strong sense of justice and anger lead him to have no morals, until meeting and befriending Phoebe. Initially, the two did not get along due to their differing personalities but after being targeted by the Shadow Reavers, the two teamed up to stop them from gathering the Azure Shards.

Throughout the journey, Shadow found peace with Phoebe, Jett, and Dawn. After being defeated by the Reavers, Shadow discovered that the leader was his mother from another universe, and in the final confrontation, he let go of his rage to convince Lucine to let her dream go for the greater good.

Following the conflict, Shadow left the Nova region to hide the Azure Shards and focus on himself, promising Phoebe of his return. Two years later, he fulfilled his promise by competing in the new Grand Championship, as well as another one years later in 2038.
