Ah, I like that answer. TBH That's pretty much what I was going for when creating her - since the initial main antagonists are shadowy beasts, I wanted to provide the flipside of the aesthetic and show a genuinely heroic shadow user. I also wanted to demonstrate a sort of "powers don't make the person" sort of deal - despite the generally negative connotations darkness manipulation has, it's treated as a benevolent force in the DT series, and Knockout - alongside Celesta - pretty much embody that aspect perfectly.
