TheWendil• Name: Shana, "The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter" & Flame of Heaven "Alastor"
• Gender: Female
• Personality & History: The current Shana is almost a completely different person than her past self. In the past, she used to view herself as nothing but a tool for the purpose of eliminating Crimson World Denizens that harmed the balance of the human world. Nothing and no one, other than her few significant others, mattered as long as her purpose was fulfilled. In fact, she had so little regard for her own self that she didn't even have a proper name for the longest part of her existence, only ever calling herself by her Flame Haze title, the "The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter".
The contempt she had for humans and, especially, Torches (human dummies with temporary lifespans, created to preserve the balance of the world's Power of Existence) wasn't exclusive of herself, though but a characteristic common to all but a few exceedingly empathetic Flame Hazes. Even so, Shana's was fostered by her secluded upbringing and isolation.
It felt like no one would ever be able to break through the walls that the Flame of Heaven's contractee erected around herself.
That is until she met a certain Mystes (a special type of Torch containing Treasure Tools inside of them) named Yuji Sakai, the gave her a name and who was the source of the biggest troubles of Shana's whole existence.
After a long journey of self-discovery, Shana finally came to terms not only with herself and her feelings but also with the whole world at large. The whole process culminated with her current self, a reassured and balanced person who, despite her looks, has gone through quite a lot in her life.
• Universe of Origin: Shakugan no Shana
• Equipment:
- Nietono no Shana: Shana’s cherished nodachi. An offensive type Treasure Tool forged by a nameless smith that would later become a feared Mystes known as Tenmoku Ikko, the blade’s first wielder. The bade came into her possession after she defeated its original owner whose spirit still inhabits Nietono no Shana to this day, as one of Shana’s loyal allies. If the situation ever demands it, he can manifest his physical body once again, but will only do so if Shana is in grave need of assistance.
- Chorde: A ring-like Treasure Tool acquired by Shana after she defeated a ravenous Denizen a long time ago. It has the ability to multiply itself as many times as the user wishes as well as to be loaded with Unrestricted Spells and used as projectile weapons. Any thrown rings will always come back to Shana.
- Pendant: The Vessel symbolizing Shana’s contract with Alastor and a mean for him to communicate with others. While it has no powers or abilities of its own (Alastor inhabits her directly, instead of the pendant), losing it puts Shana in great emotional distress.
• Abilities: As a Flame Haze, Shana possesses a number of special abilities, mostly in the form of Unrestricted Spells which are capable of manipulating one’s Power of Existence to “bring about the impossible”.
While a complete list of her Unrestricted Spells and their functions would go on for quite a while, it’s worth noting that her most iconic ones are:
- Yogasa: A black shroud which is a manifestation of Alastor’s dark wings. Shana wears it like a dark coat. It’s capable of storing a seemingly unlimited number of items as well as being a sturdy defensive tool that can protect its wielder from most forms of harm.
- Guren no Oodachi: Covers Nietono no Shana in Shana’s crimson flames to increase its damage. She can also load this spell on Chorde and use it as flaming projectiles.
- Guren no Souyoku: Shana’s crimson flames take on the shape of a pair of wings, allowing her to fly.
- Tenpa Jousai: An ability unique to the Flame Haze of the God of Retribution, Flame of Haven “Alastor”. By allowing his Power of Existence to completely fill herself, Shana is capable of summoning Alastor’s presence into the world in his full might. Normally this would be a last-ditch move since none of Alastor’s previous contractees were able to sustain the strain of manifesting the Crimson God’s immense power. Shana was the first who can do it without risking her own existence. However, it requires a very dire situation to push her into doing so.
• Other: Shana has an exceptionally strong sweet tooth with an uncommonly huge fondness for melon bread. If you want to get on her good side quickly, just get her some of it.
