Shade

Shade is a noble warrior from the Flower Kingdom, one of Blossom's partners and the tritagonist of Blooming Diaries.

Overview
Shade is resurrected from the spirit of the Unnamed Mother by "a higher authority" to restore peace between Blossom and her friends' world and the Bloomiverse. During the events of the game, she teams up with Blossom's team, which consists of Blossom, Miko, Princess Tiara, and Sarah, and helps them out on their quest to defeat Smithy. In battle, she has high attack, but lower defense.

Personality
Shade's personality is strongly based on her confidence and attitude. She has more of a defiant, heroic attitude. Shade's eagerness to confront the villain may be due to her status as an authority figure from the Flower Kingdom. She also tends to show more enthusiasm than any other party member.

Although powerful, Shade is quite amiable, quick to make friends with Blossom, Sarah and Miko. She has a strong sense of duty and responsibility, and her role on the Flower Kingdom may be analogous to Blossom's role in the kingdom. He even worries over the "ownership" of his physical form, and promises to return the body to the home from whence it came.

Appearance
Hence and as her name implies, Shade is mostly shaded in black but not entirely. Her skin color is fair peach and she has a few colors of gray and red. She uses sword sized kunais as her primary weapon.

It was said that Shade was born from violets. However, there are chances that some violets would look darker, thus making black violets.

Trivia

 * Shade is based on the character Geno from Super Mario RPG: Legend of The 7 Stars. Nat, the creator of the game, says that she wanted to make a character that looks and seems edgy and takes the role as a defender from the Flower Kingdom with high authorities and ninja attributes. Therefore, she made Shade.
 * In development, Shade was originally going to be a blacksmith named Barbara who joins Blossom after getting bored of her job. This concept felt mediocre, so Nat has to start from scratch. This time, she was going to make a character who is dark-skinned named Mia with a interesting backstory of her peers backing her out. However, this concept felt lackluster like Barbara and drives Nat to start over yet again to make the perfect character.
