Description
A 15 year-old genius, Shadow - with long curly brown hair - has been "aware" for as long as she can remember. She is one of the Oracle's star pupils and is excited to get out into the Matrix and start acting on her teachings. She can be incredibly naive and has a tough time understanding that just because she has a gift for understanding that this is all code and that the Oracle has forseen this all, this is life and death for everyone around her - including her. Still, Shadow is pretty well set - she has a particular gift for occasionally finding the most inspired ways to bend the Matrix to her will - she may not be able to throw a punch or fire a gun (the Oracle didn't like guns), but sometimes an opponent's punch will go right through her or she'll drag them halfway into a cement floor they can't get out of. Sure, on the outside, Shadow could code a wall away in seconds, but even when she's inside, she's capable of pushing her body through it. Because... there is no wall.
