| Personality |
Shiro, possesses the perfect power that many spirits desire. Because of this he is always composed and confident in his power. His air of aloofness and indifference is a product of dignity that he fills himself with. Shiro is more or less emotionless, only anger, annoyance, and dissatisfaction showing on his face. Because both his heart and body are so strong, he has no desire for anything else. He has absolute confidence in his power, so he believes he doesn't need allies, this belief was later changed when he met the other spirits. Shiro is frighteningly sarcastic to the point, you are unable to know if he is serious or not, because of the way he speaks. In battle he judges his enemy's power level and attacks with the minimum power necessary. He deals with his enemies after determining their power. Once he realizes their weak points, their attacks are usually futile, this method doesn't work on high level spirits.
Shiro felt nothing for others, sneering and dismissing humane feelings. Anyone in his way is an enemy whom he will exterminate without hesitation. He does not hold back his power, even against women. He rationalizes that all his prey is the same and defeats them accordingly. For one with such pride in his power, cooperation is proof of weakness and being alone is a condition for the strong. Once he judges someone as a obstacle, he is quick to kill without hesitation.
He used to feel nothing for anyone, but after meeting various people, such as the spirits, and finding his lost twin brother, they had brought change to his heart. Shiro has a very inquiring mind when there is something he cares about, but at the same time, he has almost no tenacity of purpose. If he becomes interested in something else, he will arbitrarily turn his back on what he's doing, even during battle. Just like his fighting style, he is quick to make decisions and act on them immediately. Though this doesn't happen often with people,except his twin brother, who Shiro is extremely protective over. Shiro genuinely cares about Hiro and somewhat the spirits; while he rarely shows it, he does appreciate their company. Shiro originally, and still does to some length, held much contempt towards protecting the weak, humans, seeing it as a waste of time and ridiculous. Unlike his brother, Shiro has trouble admitting he has people to protect and out of pride, would never admit that he does. Another trait of Shiro is one he shares with his younger brother. He becomes very annoyed by Hiro's stupidity, and has been known to hit Hiro on the head when he says something that displeases him. But despite all of these traits good or bad, if your are deemed important to Shiro he will protect you with his life.
Shiro is the spirit of the Moon and Ocean. He used this power to control the attacks at night, during the battle of Izuzan, giving light to the people and darkness to their enemies. He used the ocean to control the water around the enemy camp, filling it with salt and making it undrinkable and the creatures inside inedible. His control over the ocean is able to stretch out to all water around him, so you can always find Shiro by some kind of water source. He lets the moon shine bright whenever the spirits sleep so they have light, this is a sign of his love for them, which he would never admit. His ability to control the moon also helps him control the tides of the oceans and water. Shiro is also an excellent swordsman; has inhuman strength that he uses quite often, along with his natural skill with hand to hand combat.
| Family |
Shiro only has Hiro, his long lost twin brother, any others are just fragments of his forgotten memory. On rare occasions, he will ask Hiro to show him moments in their past when they were "alive", the reason for this is unknown since he never tells anyone way he does it.
