Backstory: 

In her previous incarnation, she was once known as Maria Robotnik. After her death upon the Space Colony ARK 50 years ago, her soul remained and would one day take on a new form.

50 years later, the Biolizard was awakened and ran amok aboard the Space Colony ARK, merging itself with the colony in order to hurl the station towards Earth. Super Shadow used the power of Chaos Control along with the help of Super Sonic in order to stop the colony and defeat the Biolizard once and for all. Shadow sacrificed himself and destroyed the Biolizard in the process. 

Later, during Dr. Robotnik's repairal of the moon, he would soon find Shadow the Hedgehog's still alive body floating adrift in space. Along with Shadow, a lone Biolizard egg had survived the Chaos Control which destroyed it's begetter. Eggman takes the both of them to his base, where he would seal Shadow in a pod in order to create an army of Shadow Android clones.

Eggman had other plans for the Biolizard egg, seeing that even in it's unhatched state it still held the same power and potential as the Biolizard as a viable power source. He places the egg within his newest and most powerful machine, E-123 Omega, and uses the egg as it's core to harness it's unlimited power source. Unbeknownst to anyone, the egg contained the spirit of the late Maria Robotnik, who would reprogram Omega from the inside in order to become Shadow the Hedgehog's friend and protector.

For the next 12 years, E-123 Omega has been a close friend and ally towards Shadow, working alongside both him and Rouge for the G.U.N. However, one day Shadow turns on G.U.N. due to an internal dispute regarding the use of a revived Black Doom as a military weapon. Shadow defects and finds sanctuary with the Kingdom of Soleanna. Omega is forced to be reprogrammed by humanity in order to confront and defeat Shadow once and for all.

After their fated battle, Shadow instead comes out the victor between the two, dismantling his former friend and breaking open Omega's chest to reveal the core. Upon inspection, Shadow realizes that the core within Omega had been the progeny of his prototype for all these years, and in a rage Shadow attempts to destroy the unborn creature within. However, he is stopped by the spirit Tikal the Echidna, who reveals to Shadow that the soul within the egg is none other than his beloved Maria Robotnik, who had been with him protecting him all this time. Shadow spares the egg and takes it under his wing.

A year later, the egg is finally hatched thanks to Shadow's love and care, and for the next 14 years Shadow would come to take care of the hatchling as his own surrogate daughter. He names her Ark, after the home where both he and Maria grew up, and he raises Ark to allow her to become her own person, instead of living up to the standard of her preincarnation. Ark would eventually become the leader of the newly formed Team Legacy along with Core the Seedrian and Oliga the Destroyer, representing the Speed class in their team.

Ark the Lizard (Maria Robotnik) by Cylent-Nite

This here is a redux of this old piece from 2012. I had recently posted up the three Team Legacy character pieces on my tumblr, and I kinda realized I don't really want my old art representing me there, haha. So I decided to re-do the piece, I've increased the resolution, made a few tweaks to the proportions to suit my current standard of drawing, and even made a few adjustments to the design itself (particularly some of her colour scheme). I will be doing the same with the other two, Core and Oliga, and I'll be giving them detailed bios the same way I've given Ark one here.
