[list]Standing at 5’3” with charcoal-colored hair and bright chartreuse eyes, Shiori is pretty ordinary – though what she lacks for in appearance she makes up a tenfold in her expressiveness and personality. Being a first year at Ishin High is a daunting task and while it may not be ranked first in the Hero Academy listings, it is pretty close in the runnings so Shiori has not wasted any time or energy in preparing her applications. Always smiling and giving an amicable thumbs up, Shiori lifts the spirits of those around her and even though her presence can be overwhelming with endless optimism she never falters; almost like the smile is as much for her as it is for others around her.[/list]

[list]Initially believed to be as generalized as Solar Empowerment, Shiori’s superhuman abilities happen to actually be the result of the [u][b]Photosynthetic Blood[/b][/u] that runs in her body; making the young teenager not too far off from the plants that her mother tends to tirelessly in the family garden. This has allowed Shiori to store large amounts of energy to various effects, though most blame it for her extremely hyperactive and excitable nature. However, the effects of converting light energy into chemical energy has more applications than simply giving Shiori an excess of conventional energy. This extends to the transformation of the energy given from her blood’s chemical makeup to augment her body in various fashions, though she’s not quite sure how to perfectly maneuver and utilize the energy she is given in a productive, efficient manner at this point in time.  

With that said, the weaknesses are pretty much dependent on how good she is at storing solar energy, which she is blatantly not. If Shiori was to push herself to her limits on “half a tank” she would not have a long time before she fell unconscious in the midst of battle; a poor conclusion when fighting and training, indeed. The added side effect to bees trying to pollinate her if she has a paper-cut does not help either.[/list]

[list]Shiori’s body is athletic, allowing her to maximize speed and lessen fatigue from exerting herself. Shiori’s mother, Hanae Kanemaru, was relentless in how she raised Shiori. Being a superheroine herself, Hanae knew the challenges Shiori would have to face if in the likely chance a quirk was to manifest in her and so prepared to teach her how to be “ready” as well as instill a hard working ethic in her when she came of age. As such Shiori has decent physical stamina as a result of her mother’s “optional lessons” to prepare her for the exams to get into Ishin High – a school supposedly nearly as difficult as U.A. High to get accepted into. [/list]

[list]Shiori is a hard-working female character with a moderate quirk that allows her to be dangerous with the right amount of character development and plot precedence. The goal for her is to play off characters and make decisions based on those interactions; she’s not cold and introspective like many of my characters so this is room for me to do something different for a change. As a character that finds good in everyone and is largely optimistic it will be interesting to break down her world as I go into her backstory; specifically that with her father, [u][b]Bloodstone[/b][/u], a supervillain whom she knows very little about due to her mother raising her alone. The revelation of Bloodstone being her father will be world-ending for Shiori and I feel like it’ll be a great moment as she stands oblivious and confused in the heat of the moment in the midst of conflict; her friends having to save her before she loses her life at that moment. Shiori can be the comedic relief, one of the main protagonists, the tragic death – the options are pretty much open for her and I just want the chance to write the character.

Per Shiori’s perspective her ultimate goal is to live up to her mother’s legacy and expectations, though personally she doesn’t care about being the “top hero”. She’d much rather be content with being one of the greats rather than the greatest around. It’s not that hoping to be the greatest isn’t realistic but more that she doesn’t have the same drive as others; a fact evident in her choice of hero academy.[/list]
