| - Shadow is the daughter of Gabrielle, a waitress at Goathead, Colorado cafe "Graham's Goodtime Grill". Gabrielle would soon meet Casey Jones at her cafe. As Casey one day on one of his strolls accidentally killed a young purse snatcher, he set out on a self-discovery trip. During his journey, he came to Goat Head, Colorado, and met in "Graham's Good Time Grill" the waitress Gabrielle, who took him into her trailer home after Casey was robbed of his car and possessions. At some point soon after, Casey and Gabrielle (whom Casey called Gabe) began an intimate relationship, and later Casey discovered that Gabrielle was pregnant. But the pregnancy was already four months along, and Casey wasn't the father. Though she expected him to leave her, Casey surprised her by staying. Over time, their relationship advanced and soon they were married, and planned a life together as a family. But this bliss was cut short when Gabrielle tragically died in childbirth. (TMNT Vol 1, #58). With no other family, Casey became Shadow’s legal guardian. Before returning to his mother in New York, Casey scattered Gabe's ashes over a cliff. After reuniting with his mother, he saw April O’Neil (who would quickly become Shadow’s adoptive mother). Shadow grew happily in a large family, which included not only Casey and April, but the Turtles (her adoptive uncles) and their mentor Splinter (her adoptive grandfather). Developing a particularly close relationship with Michelangelo and Raphael, who were living with them in the apartment complex at that time, Shadow became fond of video games (TMNT Vol. 2, #13). She once told April she wanted a baby brother. After an episode in which she and her family, among others, dealt with Lilith and werewolves ("Darkness Weaves"), April and Casey sent her to Northampton, where she lived under the care of Splinter and Stainless Steel Steve. As a grown teenager, Shadow started a relationship with a boy from the area, Jay. Since she kept certain details of her life from him, Jay followed her one day secretly back to the Jones Farm, where he was caught by Metal Head and learned of the existence of Splinter and the Turtles (TMNT Vol.4 # 6-7). Later, however, Shadow had learned to her horror that Jay had joined the corps of a radical xenophobic group called Xihad that was rigorously and ruthlessly against extraterrestrial influence on Earth, introduced by the Utroms ( TMNT Vol.4 # 24).
