Facilier's Shadow

Facilier's Shadow is a minor antagonist in The Princess and the Frog.

Background
As the shadow of Dr. Facilier, it is completely loyal to him and serves as his inner darkness. Despite being somewhat one of Facilier's "Friends on the Other Side," it has no association with them, and especially fears the fate it and Facilier will face if he fails to pay back his debt. He doesn't speak, and communicates with Facilier through movements, though, at one point, he did chuckle sinisterly after humiliating Lawrence.

Role in the film
On a busy day in New Orleans, Facilier suddenly gains the urge to become the wealthiest man in the city upon witnessing the vast wealth of Eli "Big Daddy" La Bouff. He and Shadow soon learn that Prince Naveen of Maldonia was visiting the city that same day to marry Big Daddy's daughter, Charlotte La Bouff. Facilier tricks the Prince into striking a deal, turning him into a frog. Meanwhile, Naveen's former valet, Lawrence, became part of the scheme, disguising himself as the Prince in order to marry Charlotte. Once they marry, Facilier would murder Big Daddy, thus having the fortune handed down to Lawrence and the villains.

However, the real Naveen comes across a waitress named Tiana who dreams of opening her own restaurant. Believing helping the prince break the spell would help her obtain money to open said restaurant, Tiana agrees to help, and proves to be a challenge once the trinket that powers Lawrence's disguise is stolen by Tiana and Naveen's firefly friend, Ray. Once said trinket is destroyed by Tiana, Faciler's deadline expires, and he and his shadow are dragged down to the voodoo underworld for all eternity.

Disney Parks
The Shadow actually appears in a few spots throughout the Disney theme parks around the world, always alongside the doctor himself. Some of these roles include a cameo in Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, and an appearance in Disney Dreams.
