[b]Occupation:[/b] School Counselor

[b]Personality:[/b] A notoriously mild-mannered and kindly woman with the patience of a saint. Widely regarded as a pillar of strength and stability for not just the students, but the teachers as well. That's while on the job, though—outside of work, she can be a bit more than a little eccentric. When your heart becomes a bottling plant for the emotions and worries of all your clients and coworkers, you have to learn to let loose once in a while. At the school, she's a voice of reason, but as soon as she's off school property, she's the type to say "sure, why the hell not" when presented with a hare-brained idea. She'll do almost anything besides hard drugs or going home with random guys, and gets along with pretty much everyone. Don't call her work persona a "split personality" though. You'll trigger her inner psychology teacher.

[b]Bio:[/b] Shinobu grew up in a broken home, living with her overworked mother and many younger sisters in Osaka while the father whom she hardly knew worked a dead end job in Kyoto. Shinobu herself had to contend not only with her own studies, but with being an older sister and effectively mothering her younger sisters while their own mother was absent from the home most of the time. Her studies were going well but not as excellently as they could have due to her familial duties, until one day the "dead end" nature of her father's job proved too cruelly prophetic, and the only reprieve she regularly received from her elder sister role suddenly passed away, leaving nothing behind but broken hearts and additional stress. Her studies would suffer until her graduation, at which point she found herself staying at home taking care of her younger sisters until they all came of age. By this time, she was in her late twenties, with no marriage or job prospects to speak of.

	Desperate for a change, she moved in with her grandparents in Tokyo, and began looking for work. Nothing that she really wanted to do was actually available, so she ended up looking for a job as a psychology teacher, and ended up at Ayame High. It wasn't the best job or the one she wanted, but it was at least not boring. However, her past came back to haunt her, as she simply couldn't stop offering her help to the students. Self-sacrifice had become who she was. After two measly years as a teacher, she quit—not because she'd come to hate the job but because she needed some time to become her own person. She spent two months blowing through her savings, experiencing the night life of Tokyo's youth, until her grandparents smacked some sense into her and she resumed working at Ayame High, this time as a school counselor. A new work-life balance was exactly what she needed to get back to the grind. For the last three years she's spent in this job, she hasn't had a single emotional breakdown or depressive episode that a bit of alcohol couldn't smooth over! Everyone is counting on her, so that's good!

[b]Other:[/b][list]
[*]Doesn't [i]really[/i] want to get married or start another family she might get trapped in. Bisexual, but keeps it low key.
[*]Still substitutes as the psychology teacher from time to time. The students don't really respect her easygoing nature, though.
[*]Will drink any of the other girls under the table. Slays in the arcades on the dance floor from time to time.

[b]Fresh Air:[/b] A chic handheld folding fan that soothes the nerves and raises the spirits of whoever is fanned by it.

[b]Magic:[/b][list]
[*][b]Psychological Projection:[/b] Translucent hands will grab, manipulate, apply pressure, throw, or attack objects or enemies according to her will. They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? Up to four of them can be used at once, but two of them will replace the use of her own hands. She doesn't have the cognitive resources to manipulate six hands. Doing delicate work with four hands at once is also taxing.
[*][b]Granfalloon:[/b] A shared hypnotic suggestion permeates the group, giving her allies a non-stacking boost to one stat—and delusions of grandeur. This magic is voice-activated, and has an appropriate range of effect and limitations to go with that. She's got one killer voice that can carry quite the distance, though. Turns out, Shinobu used to be a cheerleader. Fair warning, though? Don't invite her to karaoke.
[*][b]Hypnotic Gaze:[/b] Prolonged eye contact will allow her to mold the minds of her enemies, causing hypnotic suggestions which result in a debuff or status affliction to go along with it. It has a somewhat unpredictable effect, as the hypnotic suggestions may not result in the target acting in exactly the way you'd hoped. The target's mindset changes, but they still have free will. It's not "mind control" as such.
[*][b]Inkblot:[/b] Randomly pulls something—an object, a weapon, a creature, or even an idea—from the group's imagination, and summons it. This seems like a really bad idea, but honestly, she's here for it. Only one Inkblot can be active at a time, and its manifestations are a truly random selection of whatever happens to be on the mind of a random person nearby. Brings "picking your brain" a whole new meaning.

[b]Other:[/b] Her magical girl transformation has a slightly different appearance depending on if she's in "counselor mode" or "party animal mode."[/hider]
