Give your Sonic OC a signature move
Pick a feature you could recognize in shadow, like a jerboa’s long legs or a ray’s wide fins. Let the signature move follow from that shape. Then choose where the move works best and what happens when the character leaves that terrain. A rooftop scout and a canal courier should solve the same chase differently.
