–traveled a lot –Enjoys strolling around new places and seeing new sights
Shiina (Pronounced shi - ina) holds the distinguished position of being both a Mortancer of Mortaebius and performing work for the temples of Beliria. She has spent a long time in service of church of Mortaebius, growing up in Heisei before taking to travels abroad to escape the oppressive Heisei culture. She has visited many different cultures but still loves to travel and explore new places or see new sights, even if it requires sleeping in uncomfortable places.
Shiina has spent years in adventuring parties of various compositions, providing protection and care for those who sustained injury. Though she is quick to remark upon the stupidity that caused the injuries she understands the care as part of her job description. Through these years she has often ended up in forests or jungles on some quest or errand and has learned to survive in tougher environments than palaces and how to take care of the wounded.
Though she can take care of herself, she understands well that she could not win a fistfight with a well-trained mouse. To defend herself she uses wit, an imposing wardrobe and the quick threat of turning any who could threaten her blind, or the affliction of other ailments.
The last three years have seen major changes to the faith, where now she cultivates contacts and positions in the combined pantheon, performing many jobs for other temples as well. To earn the gift of gestalt-hood from the gods Shiina took part in a former adventuring party, working long and hard to track down a powerful elder dread lich who was causing too many problems. Unfortunately after this fight most of the party proved dead and not ressurectable. Shiina was granted gestalt-hood for the completion of the task, however now she finds herself without a reliable party of fellows, completing only odds and ends for the churches.
When free to do so she moves about with her scythe instead of a quarterstaff and keeps her crow perched on her shoulders. When circling the more limiting confines of Heisei society she conforms enough not to be shooed away, sometimes using masks or more modest dresses.
Shiina combines the divine with the arcane, resulting in a diverse skill set of abilities that she seeks to understand more deeply and more completely. When Shunsin Hattori put out a call for aid to the church of Mortaebius she was eager to respond and help, hearing rumours about knowledge the primal magic that could help link her skillsets and direct interaction with the gods.
Shiina is a lithe woman of around 5'4. Quite handsome, she is not afraid to show of her figure through provocative clothing even if it is not traditionally accepted in Heisei. Shiina likes wearing gaudy and ornate jewellery combined with frilly clothing, as long as it comes in black. Keeping her crow Kari perched on one shoulder, she tries her best to opt in to the 'witch of the woods' stereotype.
