Shiori Kirihito

Shiori Kirihito is an antagonist of the manga BlazBlue: Remix Heart. She is an assassin working for the Hazuki family. Her partner is Chachakaka, who delivers recon and intelligence while Shiori herself handles assassinations. She is a new roommate with Mai and Cajun.

Information
Shiori appears with Chachakaka at the Military Academy's bath spa. After she became roommates with Mai and Cajun, she claims to have a frail body and to be undergoing treatment. She wasn't making any friends due to her current condition. She is a distant relative of Mai's, as the Kirihito family is a branch of the Hazuki family. The Kirihitos have been working as assassins for the Hazuki family for generations. She apparently smells distinctively of poison. Her primary goal is to assassinate Jin Kisaragi.

After that incident, Shiori decided to go after Mai. She captured her with Chachakaka near the men's dormitory, and told her that she planned to erase her memories and brainwash Mai's friends to make them kill Jin for her. Shiori thinks that Tsubaki likes Jin. She wants to use her to kill Jin, and wonders what she will feel, killing someone she loves with her own hands. Shiori even thought about returning Tsubaki's memories after that, wondering, what she would say if she saw his corpse. However, Mai breaks free from Chachakaka's grip and fights Shiori. When Shiori accidentally got injured by her own weapon, Mai decided to suck the poison out to save her life, but Shiori knew that this poison is not effective on her. Using her supertaster ability, Mai saw Shiori's memories. She had a horrible childhood, training from very young age, being mistreated by her father, and being tortured by poisonous snakes. As she grew up, she became a professional assassin, and she killed her father as payback and felt no remorse. Shiori let out her emotions and cried as Mai comforted her. Next morning, she woke up on Mai's bed, claiming that she loves Mai, but her main goal haven't changed.

Personality
Shiori appears to be polite and playful at first glance, but underneath this façade lies a much darker side; an example of this is when she took joy while torturing an NOL officer who was slowly forgetting everything in his life due to her toxic kunai. She is a sadist and cruel person as she thinks about brainwashing Tsubaki to kill Jin and then giving back her memories, and wonders on what she might feel after killing him.

After a heartfelt confession of her pain and sorrow she had to deal with during her childhood and even in current times, she became slightly nicer to Mai, and even went so far as to claim that she is in love with her, but she still retains her dark personality.

Appearance
Shiori is a young girl with shoulder-length light hair, part of which is tied in pigtails via black, yellow trimmed ribbons. She has stunningly dark eyes, which contrast with her pale complexion and heart-shaped face. She wears a standard female Military Academy uniform with thigh-length high heel white boots.

Before entering the academy, she wore a black cloak and a mask.

When she was a child, she wore a plain white shirt and short black tights with black and white shoes. Her arms and legs were wrapped with bandages due to her hashed training.

Power and Abilities
She appears to be very skilled in assassination techniques, possessing the ability to throw extremely poisonous kunai with incredible accuracy, having once killed an NOL Officer with a kunai to the neck while airborne. The kunai also have a neurological effect; as the poison enters the brain, it shuts off main motor functions and the victim collapses. They remain in this state of paralysis as the poison enters the hippocampus and starts destroying its cells, effectively making the victim forget everything in their life.
