#ninjago oc shiho

[skierisa]

(dont bully me for the weird looking german shepherd I NEVER DREW ONE BEFORE OKAY)

Full name: Shiho Yuhara Akagawa (her realm's culture allows her to have more than one last name)

Age: 13

Birthday: December 13th

Sexuality: lesbian

Species: Wereavian (raven)

Elemental Powers: no elemental powers but studies magic from Mysterium

Occupation: middle school student and volunteer on children's reading time in the library (uses braille)

Personality: Shiho is usually very calm, but likes cracking jokes, especially if they are related to Shunsuke, and it's hard to annoy her. Her lack of reactions to these kinds of jokes usually annoys people, and she only sees advantages in acting like this because it kind of avoids the bully's happiness. Unlike Shunsuke, she has a more positive view about life. She likes her brother's company because he usually doesn't talk much, just murmurs about his videogames and asks her opinions on his melodies. Shiho likes singing, her favourite kinds of singing are, surprisingly, lyrical singing and screamo.

Shiho is sarcastic from time to time, but usually mocks people in a "it's funny 'cause it's true" way instead. Shiho really likes it when her siblings visit, because it means there will be games and a few gifts Kenichi brings them. She likes that he still treats her like a baby most of the time because he spoils her. She usually mocks the people who mocks her siblings, unaware of the actual reason the gang exists. 

Shiho is surprisingly an amazing liar, so sometimes, she isn't the most reliable.

Story: As a little kid she was taken to a doctor and it was discovered that she was blind (retinitis pigmentosa) and the condition would be getting worse as she grew. Her family always did their best to help her out.

When she turned ten, Shiho got her guide dog from her older brother Kenichi, and they named the german shepherd Periwinkle. This helped her get "popular" in her school for a while, because she was the girl that could bring her pet to class.  

Shiho is less quiet than Shunsuke and more sociable, but had difficulty making friends as well. That's when she was taken to the library and she met her friend, a werebat named Leiny, who found it cool that she could read by touch. Since then, they were inseparable. Shiho and Leiny would be having playdates together and soon studying in the same school. Shiho revealed to be very smart and a bookworm, which helped her get better grades. By Dragon's Rising events, they are separated due to the merge.

Once she listened to Valerie practising singing, she wanted to join, and her mother gladly started teaching her. Like Valerie, Shiho had quite the talent for singing, however none for instruments besides flute.

TRIVIA AND HEADCANONS:
