Unless I never saw her in a game, I'm pretty sure Shade is a Ken Penders character. And remember what happened a while ago? -_- Really? I don't know it either but I always thought that she was made by SEGA or Bioware for Chronicles and later Archie made an adaption of the game '.' I believe Shade was made by Bioware, but I have hopes that Sega have bought the character idea since Bioware got bought out by EA. Shade is owned by SEGA but Ken Penders is suing beacuse he thinks she is based on his character Julie-Su which he does own the rights to. The lawsuit isn't going anywhere right now but I think SEGA is still scared to use her in anything. Doesn't Penders Sonic based characters all belong to Sega? If any of us with Sonic fan characters really would like to have our OCs in an official SOnic game, wouldn't there be a contract surrending rights to our characters to them? Ken Pender's characters were suppost to belong to SEGA but Archie either 1. Lost his contract or 2. Never game him one. Because Ken had no contract during his time at Archie, he owns everything in made after he filed for copyrights. Creators own their Orginal Characters but if they try to make money of it  or copyright them by connecting it to Sonic in anyway SEGA could sue. If the Characters don't have copyrights technicaly anyone can use them including SEGA and they would not have to play you a thing. They would never do that though cause it would really bad on them.
