[b]Personality[/b] There was once a time when Kei Shirane was a bright, cheerful, and eager girl who just so happened to be part of a trio of young girls tasked with using magical abilities to combat otherworldly threats. In those days, Shirane was known as 'Shiro' because she had the white outfit - she always wanted to be Kuro and never got over that. But those days are long gone, and what they don't tell you when you first become a magical girl is that they expect you to keep donning the costume and spouting the lines until the next generation comes along. In Kei's case, the next generation never came along and now into adulthood she finds herself loathing the fact that she's technically still active as a magical girl. Kuro and Ao, her partners in magic, figured out how to lose their abilities but are not allowed, by some Code, to tell Kei - and she's still angry about that. 

Kei knows that she has a responsibility, but it's gotten to the point where it's interfering with her trying to lead a grown up, adult life. As such, Kei is rather bitter in the home life and is always the most apathetic whenever something comes along to rally a group for action; because she knows that she's going to have to put on the outfit, a process that stopped being cute when she grew older. She's always trying to wiggle her way out of dealing with problems, often by pleading or trying to make bargains or gambles that never seem to work. It's with a reluctant sigh that she responds to troubles. 

When she DOES don the outfit, her personality changes completely. Instead of the lazy, annoyed Kei she becomes the dazzling, vibrant, excited, energetic Shiro, speaking in an energetic voice, sparkles and glitter seem to just surround her, it's like she becomes a different person.

[b]Abilities:[/b] As Shiro she is granted the use of magical abilities through the use of he scepter, which takes the form of a thin blade or a bow with which to shoot off her magical abilities. Because she was Shiro and not Ao, who had the use of water based abilities, or Kuro, who used dark magicks for the good of everyone, Shiro's abilities are light based. She doesn't control light, the energy/magic she uses just takes the form of strong beams of light; she's not even sure if they are effective against dark creatures, most fodder enemies she faced always seemed to take one shot from either of them anyway. The abilities she uses most often are:

[b]Shiro-Shiro Shooting![/b]: Shiro shoots a beam of light from her scepter-bow at an opponent, or several smaller beams in quick succession. 

[b]Shiro-Shiro Slashing![/b]: Shiro puts light into her scepter-sabre and uses it as a sword, mostly used against groups of grunts or in duels.

[b]Shiro-Shiro Shielding!:[/b] Shiro shields herself with a small front-facing shield of light. Enough force or a combined effort is more than enough to break the shield. 

[b]Shiro-Shiro Super Special Secret Strong Shot![/b]: Actually not an attack, but sometimes enemies got intimidated and ran away when she said she was using this move. It's a bluff more than anything.[/center]
