Strengths: Shingi is an experienced fighter, especially when fighting in the right environment. Shingi tends to use the arena to her advantage, whether its using a quick rush of snow to confuse enemies, or something as simple as jumping off a high rock during a strong wind. As long as the environment is favorable, her chances of winning a fight is almost second to none.
Shingi has exceptional eyesight and hearing, which is often used to navigate through dark areas. She can be a deadly opponent when it comes to the shadows of the night.
Weakness: Because of the heavy reliance on the conditions of a fighting arena, Shingi is prone to miscalculate a move and either end up missing the target, or being pinned. And her light weight makes it easy for opponents to throw her around like a ragdoll if she is caught. She relies more on speed and condition rather than actual strength, and that will give her a huge disadvantage if the opponent is heavier than her.
Good and Bad Qualities: Shingi has extremely high standards and expects a lot of herself and of others. She is loyal and holds a strong outlook about the direction she wants her life to take. Shingi chooses her friends and causes with care, as she does not plan to ever not support these people and things again. Once she has committed herself, there is little to no turning back. Shingi is bold, unafraid to disagree out loud about anything she feels is unjust or unfair. Shingi gets easily stressed if a plan does not go accordingly. She often finds it difficult to relax when there are things to be done.
Bad Habits: Tends to snap at people who rush into battle without a second thought. Can be very harsh and quite the literal bitch.
Turn Offs: Disobedience, bloodshed without reason, impulsiveness, idiocy.
Normal Talents: A superb fighter, with speed and wit as sharp as her fangs. She uses a sword known as the Nightingale Blade which sings with every swing. It was a gift entrusted to Shingi by the Emperor himself. Also, Shingi often uses the "slash and turn" technique, wich involves lowering an enemy's stamina by slashing one with her fangs, turning on a dime, and slashing again.
Supernatural Powers & Abilities: Sensitivity Shingi is a character gifted with one thing: She is a Nature Sensitive. Nature Mediums (or sensitives) are able to sense on coming natural phenomenon, such as storms, sudden weather changes, and natural disasters like floods. They are typically gifted with keener senses that allow them to pick up on these things and almost seem to be able to communicate with the world around them, listening to the trees and whispers on the wind. Shingi uses this ability to sense things around the battlefield, since she relies so heavily on the environment she fights in.
Temperament: Shingi is loyal. She is the one who people are most likely to turn to when they need help. The wolfdog will come through every time. That is because she is sensitive to others and empathizes with them, particularly if someone has suffered an injustice; she reacts quickly with the same feeling as though she had been personally offended. Friends know that they can rely upon Shingi to keep a promise or remain cool in a crisis. However, Shingi is somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. She can find fault with many things and is noted for her sharp tongue.
Background: Once a feared wild animal, Shingi was captured by soldiers of Sei-An to be sold to the Emperor to earn his favor. After learning of Shingi's "crimes" after she had killed the two soldiers, the Emperor decided to have her trained to become a guard Dog, much to Shingi's distaste. Her new owner developed a way to earn the beast's trust without breaking her spirit, and after many months of vigorous training, Shingi began to accept her new fate and let her Dog counterpart become awakened. She developed a bond with her new master just like any ordinary Dog and now affectionately addresses him as "Pops."
Shingi is free to come and go whenever she pleases, but her tight bond with her owner prevents her from wandering too far. But her wild spirit often causes her to yearn for the freedom she "sacrificed" One can often hear the mourning howl echoing from the Imperial Gardens and will often stop and listen to the hidden notes in the wolfdog's song. It is said that the Nightingale Dog's song can chase away Death and soothe the most wounded of souls. But it has not been proven to be true yet.
