With a powerful appetite due to her high Reiryoku level, she found herself often running away from much larger and stronger people whom she stole food from, resulting in a high mobility level. Her ability to make precise movements was also improved by her theft. One day after eating enough to have a full belly, she found herself trapped by several larger adults who wanted revenge on her. When one pounced, she accidentally used Flash Step in her desperation to escape, though she didn't realize this at the time. After that day, she spent much of her time practicing to figure out how she had managed to escape, eventually leading to her mastering some very basic Hohō. When she was older, she was caught using Flash Step by a patrolling Shinigami who recommended her to the Shinigami Academy to become a Soul Reaper herself. Though her natural aptitude for Hohō and Zanjutsu were high, she spent much longer at the Academy than the average student due to a complete lack of Kido ability. This extra time there wound up sharpening her skills in every category except Kido, much to the chagrin of her teachers. She made no friends during her time at the Academy due to a combination of fear and resentment towards her due to her being from Inuzuri and her lack of communication skills. For much of her time there, she didn't speak a single word to other students, a pattern that grew from her past where speaking to the wrong person could result in death. She was only allowed to graduate by request of the Squad 5 Captain, who saw something in her potential. Originally a member of Squad 5 after graduation from the Officer's Academy, Shion was renown for being the first on the scene when problems arose, even among Squad 5 which prided itself on its speedy activity. This led to both respect and resentment from the other members, especially when they learned of her complete lack of Kido ability. Due in large part to this split opinion of her, she remained unseated during her entire time in Squad 5, despite her skill in other areas. In spite of this, she enjoyed her time in the squad and had great respect for her Captain, especially since it was due to her that Shion was able to become a Shinigami in the first place. This made the Captain's betrayal of the Seireitei all the more painful. The squad split into those loyal to the Captain and those loyal to the Seireitei under the leadership of the squad's Lieutenant, where Shion found herself opposed to the Captain she admired. She never learned the reason for Captain Suzunami's betrayal, but she knew that she couldn't throw away everything she'd been taught by her, even if it were to join by her side. The ideal of the kind woman she knew was stronger than the image of the cruel one she fought against, and that was all there was to it. She awoke to screaming as several of the other Squad Five members attacked each other, and she found herself carrying away those who became injured, unaware of why they were fighting or who was on what side of the battle. She assisted everyone, including some of the Shinigami who would later be tried for treason. She simply used her speed to the best of her ability and saved all she could, until she learned of her Captain's actions. Unable to accept what was happening, or why, she ran out of the Squad Barracks and towards the location of the highest Spiritual Pressure. When she arrived, she found herself surrounded by several of the traitors, who assumed she was on their side. When she admitted otherwise, they attacked. Shion was not the strongest fighter in the Squad, even among those unseated, by a far margin. However, she was fast, faster than those who challenged her. She might even have won, if her mind wasn't addled by the detestable situation. Just as she was being put on the back foot, Miryoku came to her aid and the two swiftly defeated the group of now-Ryoka. By the time they finished, members of the Punishment Squad had arrived on-scene to do damage control. Shion had to be dragged away by several of them, and she was temporarily imprisoned for assisting those who had turned traitor, but her name was quickly cleared by her Squad-mates, Miryoku included. When released, she learned that Captain Suzunami truly had been defeated, and that she would not be able to give her last respects, should she even have any. The one thing that kept her sane in that time was the one who came to aid her in battle that day, Seikō Miryoku. The two have grown and maintained a strong friendship since then. However, his schism of her Squad led to her once again rarely speaking, at least to anyone other than Seikō, something that has continued to this day. 【[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Shion is a very quiet and reserved individual. She is slow to trust, but around those she is familiar with her mannerisms change to be much more vibrant and expressive. She finds joy in improving herself and helping others improve.

She uses zanjutsu almost exclusively, only fighting with hakuda when absolutely necessary and she is incapable of fighting with kido. In fights where the opponent never lets down their guard, she has intense stamina that can outlast most enemies. She focuses strongly on counter attacks rather than forward attacks if sneak attacking is not an option. She is incredibly quick and agile with both her body and her Zanpakuto.

This Arte allows the user to move faster than the eye can easily follow by using as few steps as possible to cross a distance. The higher the user’s Hoho Proficiency, the faster and more efficient this Arte becomes. This technique clashes against the Perception Skill, meaning that the lower an individual’s skill value is, the more difficulty they will have predicting the trajectory of or even following the user’s movement.

This form allows for more Spiritual Power to be released and for the Reiryoku normally used to form the blade to instead be used to increase Shion's speed to extreme levels. The tip of the blade is also extremely tough, capable of piercing most things even if the sealed state could not. [Functionally, her Shikai causes her to gain a tier boost in either Mobility or Hoho, decided on by Kereikage's Spirit (a coin flip) until she gains a stronger relationship with it and gets some say in which is boosted.
