Ok, so, I cannot stress this enough: this thing DOES NOT MAKE SENSE unless you're familiar with the basic plot of the game and/or anime adaption of Persona 4! It might even come off as insulting without that context!
But I will attempt to explain anyways: Shadows are the repressed version of yourself, the part that you don't want to admit exists. It's possible to meet your shadow, and they will try to kill you and take over. The only way to beat your shadow is to accept it as a part of you, it then becomes your strength instead of your weakness. Shadows latch onto any negativity deep in your heart, and will spill it all out in front of you, to the point of exaggerating it.
I had the inkling to try my hand at ChiChi having a confrontation with her shadow, at the point in the series where Goku refused to come home from Namek. It's not meant to be seriously in-depth, and it may not make 100% sense. But I got excited about the idea, and did want to give it a whirl.
ChiChi awoke to find herself surrounded by...fog? Picking herself up off the ground, she finds it hard to breath in the atmosphere.
"What...is this..."
"Well hello there"
Her head whips around, and what she sees is a form heading toward her. She can't quite make out the details...but as the form comes closer, it looks very familiar
"I've been waitin' fer ya" Finally the form's face is in view, and...
It's like looking in a mirror. Save for the eyes, which are a golden yellow. The lookalike also has a wicked grin on her face, one that is very unlike her usual expession.
"Who...who are..."
"Kentcha tell?" The face twists into a gross expression. "I'm you, yer true self"
"Y'...ya aint..."
"Poor ChiChi," The lookalike takes on a tone that is anything but sympathetic. "No one understands you, do they. But I do. I know all about you. I also know why yer husband ain't comin' back."
ChiChi stiffened. "You shut yer-"
"It's you. Of course. Y' don't let him train his son, you kick him out of the house for hours when yer angry, an' let's not ferget how ya treated him in the hospital. He's finally sick of it, sick of you an' yer shit."
ChiChi charged at the visage of herself. "You don't know nothin'!"
The lookalike dodged her attack easily. "Oh, but I do." ChiChi began attacking the strange lookalike, dealing blow after blow. But the lookalike blocked them all with ease.
Another attack, another block. "Oh, give it up honey. Y' can't beat yerself."
"I-" She was beginning to feel worn out...why was she worn out already? It was hard to breathe...whatever this place was that they were in, it wasn't easy on the body.
"I know you, an' I know how you think. Quit denyin' it. You know why Goku refused t' come back. An' he ain't comin' back. You already knew exactly why, didn'tcha. I didn't even need to tell ya."
"You shut up, shut up shut up!" ChiChi punched the ground.
"Yer son is probably sick of yer shit, too. That's why he left you to go to Namek. He only came back because he had no choice. I bet he'll leave the next good chance he gets, too."
"Shut! Up!" A few tears now found their way down her cheeks, and her whole body felt like it was jerking and shuddering.
"But of course yer family wants t' get away from you. Yer a cranky, uptight bitch who yells at her husband fer no good reason an' who is too strict with her son."
"I'm not-"
"It's a wonder y' ever got Goku t' marry an' have a child of all things with you. He coulda ended up with someone who wasn't such a fuckin' fusspot. But you had t' go an' insist that he stick to the promise he made. He'd be way happier without you. I know these things, I am you, after all."
"No!" She fought back desperately. "I ain't...I ain't any of those thin's! I... I ain't a bitch, I ain't uptight, and you-YOU AIN'T ME!"
"That," The shadow grinned, taking on an offensive stance before she came flying at the other woman in a finishing blow. "is exactly what I wanted to hear!"
