Illumina

"My dream... is... to make Maginaryworld a world full of light..."

- Illumina, Sonic Shuffle

Illumina (イルミナ) is a character in Sonic Shuffle. She is the Goddess of Dreams and as well the guardian angel of Maginaryworld and the protector of the Perfect Precioustone. Over time, Illumina lost faith in herself and split into two separate beings: Lumina Flowlight and Void. After that, Illumina's two halves entered a conflict with one another until they reunited and brought back Illumina.

History
Having created the Precioustone sometime in the past, Illumina assumed the job of protecting the crystal from her residence in the Temple of Light to safeguard everyone's dreams. At one point during her duty, Illumina was overcome with self-doubt and lost sight of her dream, which caused an internal conflict so strong that she split into two beings, each representing opposite ends of the spectrum of emotion: Lumina Flowlight, who represented the positive aspects of dreams, and Void, who represented the negative.

While Illumina herself ceased to exist, her two halves lived on. Lumina, having no recollection of her earlier life, believed she protected the Perfect Precioustone along Illumina, while Void suffered from loneliness. To ease his pain, Void sought the Perfect Precioustone, but he disbursed its pieces across the dimension when he touched it. Lumina, believing Void caused Illumina to mysteriously vanish, called out to other worlds, bringing Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles into Maginaryworld to help find the Precioustones before Void could destroy Maginaryworld. While Sonic and his friends helped Lumina recover the Precioustones, Illumina would sometimes appear in their dreams and tell them about her own dream.

After rebuilding the Perfect Precioustone and subduing Void by converting him into a gem, Lumina was lost self-doubt when she thought Marginaryworld was doomed despite their efforts. However, Sonic and his friends brought Lumina back to her senses after talking about the balance between positive and negative emotion being necessary for people to create and attain their dreams. Lumina then took Void into the Perfect Precioustone and two of them remerged back into Illumina. As Sonic and co. prepared to leave, Illumina thanked them for clearing away her doubts and promised that Maginaryworld would become an even better place before sending them home.
